The thunder definitely didn't make Tyr feel safer, but he had Gremio...and thunder couldn't do anything! ...but he still snuggled closer to Gremio anyway.

Tyr wasn't even sure how far a few metres were, but it was close enough to make him scared. He could imagine a giant dragon crashing down and making the whole mountain shake just like the thunder did. Was Dad ever scared like that? Tyr wondered...

"L-like it wanted a duel?" His voice shook as he asked.
