Victoria wasn’t angry at Troy. She was angry for him. She wasn’t about to explain that to him, but when she had first seen the ugly web of blackened flesh on his chest, she feared that he might die even though he had won the tournament. After all, he was only a weak human. They died from the simplest things....

And she couldn’t have helped him. Dragons healed themselves naturally, but there weren’t many Dragon Healers who helped others.

Fortunately, the Wyzir had a Healer amongst them. Victoria vowed she would never let Troy know how worried she’d been for him.

Across the lake, one of the Azir walked across the lake to where Vamenor still crouched next to his fallen motorcycle.

Pastor Mike moved to the edge of the Pavilion. “Alephander,” he called out to the Magician. “That’s Belliqas Izbognir!”

“Apprehend him!” commanded Alephander.

Michael shifted into his radiant angel form. He flew toward the two Azir Elves.

The dark angel that Victoria had seen before—Raziel—appeared in the air between the Elves and Michael. Raziel lifted a sword of dark purple and green flame to attack Michael. Michael parried with his own sword that glowed with blue and gold light.

Meanwhile, the King of Swords kicked Vamenor in the head. He collapsed to ice. The King of Swords raised his sword. Wind rushed to him.

The King lowered his sword to the ice, along with the power of Wind. The thick ice cracked open. The King kicked his fallen son into the frigid black water. Then he swirled his sword overhead. Wind and rain pelted the lake, until, rapidly, the ice bed closed back over the drowning Elf.

The dark angel pushed away from Michael, grabbed the King of Swords, and disappeared with him.

“Victoria!” Troy cried. “He locked Vamenor under the ice! The Elf will die! Quick, change into your dragon form and melt the ice!”

“What?” Victoria said. “Let him die! Even his own father wants him dead!”

“I don’t give a shit what his father wants! Victoria!” Troy grabbed her by the shoulders. “We have to lead by example. We have to do the right thing! Help me save him!”

Her emotions flip-flopped from anger at Vamenor to a rush of admiration for Troy, who had not let rage blindside him. Victoria knew Troy was right.

“Step back,” she warned him.

As soon as he gave her room, she burst into her dragon form. She blasted a stream of red-hot fire at the newly sealed ice. It took her much longer to melt the ice than it had the King of Swords to crack it open, but the advantage of her method was that she also warmed the water. That was good, because as soon as there was an opening, Troy stripped off his shirt and dove into the lake.

Braigan and Delson ran out as far out on the ice as they could without falling in.

“What is that idiot doing now?” Braigan demanded.

That question was probably rhetorical, but it was answered when Troy burst out of the water, with Vamenor in a lifeguard’s hold.
