He didn't mind going without grapes up
until now...

Luna
What if he never goes back to being the
sweet little Crescent he was?

You're overthinking it. He's just hungry, and

Hey, Luna?
What're you thinking about?

Luna
...-es me now.
Solas
Huh? I couldn't hear you.
What was that?
What was that?
Luna
Crescent hates me now!
Solas
Whoa, don't shout in my ear!
Luna
Well, you said you couldn't hear me!
Luna
Haven't you noticed? Crescent is getting
bigger, and fast!

Solas
Yeah, you're right. I'm not sure how big
a dragon is supposed to get...

Solas
But isn't it a good thing that he's

I've looked after him so well ever since
Fornaxos gave him to us, too...

How could this have happened?

We're going to be all grown up soon too.
Crescent can't stay a baby forever.

Solas
Luna?
Luna
...Maybe we can use it.
Solas
...I don't like the sound of that.
What do you mean, "use it?"

Luna
If it can grow monsters, maybe we can use
it in reverse to change Crescent back?!
it in reverse to change Crescent back?!
Luna
We can turn him from an angsty teen into
our beautiful baby dragon again!
our beautiful baby dragon again!
Solas
What?!
Solas
Are you crazy?! Crescent's worked hard to
grow up strong and healthy!
grow up strong and healthy!
Solas
And there's no guarantee we'd even win
this tournament anyway!

Luna
So now you're making fun of me?! Fine!
You can watch me win in the arena!

Solas
Uh-oh. I may have just added fuel

Solas
He'll know why Crescent's not obeying us.
We should go talk to him.

Luna
No.

Crescent
Grooh! Ngraaah!
Luna
That's not fair, Solas!
You said I couldn't buy grapes!

Antares
What?!
O-Of course not!

Antares
Ah, well, some torching did take place,

Antares
Urgh... W-Well, the truth is I discovered
something during my travels.

Antares
I've come to realize I hold power

Solas
That's amazing! Did Fornaxos's power
rub off on you?

Antares
Heh... That might be it.
Antares
But I've found recently that I can't control
these powers too well.

Antares
Tasting that delicious food made my
happiness come out as flames... I'm sorry.

I've also been trying my hand at
raising monsters!

Luna
Really? But if you have flame powers...
do you need a monster to protect you?

Antares
No, but I don't want protection. I want to
make friends with monsters, like you do!

Solas
Ah...I guess that makes sense.
Antares
I really admire you two. You have a special
bond with monsters, after all.

Solas
Good grief, Luna. Anyway, here's my
question, dragon expert.

Solas
Crescent's been growing fast, and he's
been pretty rebellious lately too.

Solas
Luna here wants to use a mana crystal
to change him back into a baby dragon...
to change him back into a baby dragon...
Solas
But that's totally impossible, right?
Antares
Oh no, that's definitely possible!
Solas
Right. See, Luna?
Just like I said, it's impo... Huh?
Just like I said, it's impo... Huh?
Solas
Wait, what?
Did you just say it's possible?!

Luna
See? I was right, wasn't I?!
Luna
Now I've got no choice but to win!

Solas
*Sigh*... Luna's not going to let nature
take its course.

Solas
And she used to get so mad when adults
treated her like a baby...

Antares
Dragons' life cycles are different from ours,
thanks to their great power and longevity.

Antares
Some powerful dragons grow too quickly
for their own good.

Solas
Do you think that's what's happening to
Crescent?
Crescent?
Antares
It's possible. If he is showing any
signs of pain, then...

Antares
His mind and body may not be mature
enough to contain his magical force.

Antares
That'd explain your trouble. His dragon
parents could help him contain it, but...

Antares
If it's too much for you, reversing his
age a bit might not be a bad idea.

Antares
You need to teach him more of the world
before he becomes an adult.

Solas
