Creating lesson...
1
I'm sorry.
2
I'm sorry.
3
Sauron.
4
They buried me.
5
Solren!
6
Solren!
7
Hey!
8
Look at me!
9
No fire.
10
Stop!
11
Stop trying!
12
Stop trying!
13
I can feel you.
14
What did you do to me?
15
You gave me something back.
16
Then I'm not wasting it.
17
Come on.
18
No. I saw them carry you out. So did I. From the inside.
19
Keep him under the ease.
20
Shh.
21
It's okay.
22
Your mother had this.
23
My mother had what?
24
The mark.
25
After you were born.
26
You knew my mother.
27
I delivered you.
28
She made me promise I would never tell you unless the mark returned.
29
Tell me what?
30
Why your son was born with wings.
31
There was a time when dragons nested in every mountain north of here.
32
They were not monsters.
33
They were part of this world.
34
No. I saw them carry you out.
35
Then men
36
learned what dragon bone, blood and fire were worth.
37
After that, every nest became a mine.
38
The dragons could no longer hide their eggs in stone, so they hid their future in blood.
39
You're saying there was a dragon inside me?
40
No. A seed.
41
A spark.
42
Not a child.
43
Not until you made one.
44
When your baby's first heartbeat began, the dragon seed woke with it.
45
It joined that life before it had a shape of its own.
46
So he was human first?
47
No. From his first heartbeat, he was Solren.
48
My son.
49
Always.
50
Then why am I alive?
51
Because you were not completely gone.
52
Dragon mothers do not die cleanly while their child still carries their flame.
53
Your heart stopped.
54
Your breath stopped.
55
Any healer would have called you dead. But one ember remained.
56
He found it.
57
And he gave you back the part of your life he was born carrying.
58
Can he do it again?
59
No. And unless we fix what he broke, neither of you will have much life left to spend.
60
The first nest.
61
The heartstone can balance the flame.
62
How long?
63
Before the second sunset.
64
Then we leave now.
65
She climbed out?
66
Dead things do not climb.
67
Then what did?
68
The beast brought her back.
69
If the grave cannot hold her, we end this before she reaches whatever made that creature.
70
You're refusing food now.
71
That's how I know you're sick.
72
Half for you, half for me.
73
That's the rule.
74
You dug me out of a grave.
75
You're not dying in one stupid hole.
76
Dig in!
77
It has to be here.
78
Nessa was telling the truth.
79
Those are eggs.
80
Solren, you were never alone.
81
Solren!
82
No, we made it.
83
You don't get to quit now
84
There are more of them.
85
Don't touch anything.
86
Don't touch anything.
87
This is where it started.
88
No. This is what survived you.
89
Step away from the beast.
90
His name is Solren.
91
You know that.
92
You died because of that thing.
93
And I'm standing here because of him.
94
Ira, look around you.
95
If those eggs wake, our children will grow up under monsters.
96
Your children beat a woman to death while mine begged me not to let him fight back.
97
You buried me once.
98
I'm done asking you for permission to live.
99
What?
100
We share it.
101
So if you want him, you go through me again.
102
Please.
103
He gave me his life.
104
Take mine if you have to.
105
Just don't take him.
106
Stop a little monster.
107
Then together.
108
He could
109
have burnt you.
110
Remember that?
111
What did you do?
112
Nothing.
113
He called them.
114
You're not the last dragon.
115
You're the first one back.
116
Whatever they call you, you're still my boy.
117

About This Lesson
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
