Chapter Six

I was being flayed alive, or at the very least, scaled like a very big fish that wasn’t a fish but was a really really really old Dragon. It gave me a whole new appreciation for what the main ingredient of my favorite dish, Honey Garlic Salmon with rice pilaf and asparagus felt like. I vowed right then and there to never eat it again. I wasn’t sure what the Dragon King with whom I shared my soul would think about becoming a vegetarian, but I was considering it. It would be hard since I was basically a meat and meat with a little fish and chicken thrown in on the side for good measure, but it was something I planned to contemplate at a later date.

(Sorry. Got lost in my own thoughts for a minute…)

The farther into the vortex I was pulled, the thicker the black Magic got, the hotter the fires of Hell became, and the sharper the talons of the huge spidery monstrosities guarding the gateway grew. Those nasty little fuckers were literally cutting through layer after layer of the hard-as-steel, iron-clad keratine that made up the thick scaled armor of my Dragon.

It had never happened before. I’d never read of it happening to anyone else. What – or should I say who – had the power, strength and Magic to do anything like it?

Usually silent, only ever speaking when absolutely necessary, my Dragon King, Teagon snarled, “What th' bugger urr ye playin’ at, Son? Whoo th' fook cares wha’ arsehole’s wielding th' magic. It's oor asses getting’ skinned alive. Ye trying tae git us killed?”

“No,” I snapped, in just as much pain as my cranky old Dragon but refusing to give him the satisfaction of saying so. “I’m tryin’ to save our Mate!”

“All ye hud tae dae wis ask, ye daft lad. This isn’t yer first day oan th' jab.”

And just like that, in a blaze of fire and an explosion of pure, white Dragon Magic that could’ve kept the Vegas strip running for a decade or so, I – along with the Dragon King Teagon, formerly known as Asshole– was transported out of the putrid portal and into a dark, dank tunnel so far underground I could feel the heat of the magna of the Earth’s core.

And I was back in my human form.

“I’m not so sure this is better,” I grumbled aloud and in my mind. “Are we a block from Satan’s front door or just in the neighborhood?”

“Na, Lad,” Teagon rumbled. “Wur in th' lair o' th' Goat Demon, Krampus.”

“The hell you say,” I scoffed. “That son of a bitch isn’t real. You should’ve made a left at Albuquerque.”

Before my Dragon – the one with whom I shared my soul and who only needed to think his answer and I would have it – could so much as think the aforementioned response, Ella’s shouted taunt ripped through the tunnel, the venom of her anger igniting the Mate Flame deep within my soul.

“Well shit, Great-Great-Great Grandaddy was right.
