Chapter Four

Once the jet had taken off safely, Dragos had turned his attention to making his own journey.

As fast as he might be able to fly, he couldn’t beat the jet to California. If he chose to stay in dragon form for the trip, he wouldn’t arrive until the evening of the next day.

There wasn’t a thing wrong with that decision, and he almost chose to do it. The long, solitary flight did sound appealing. Having to relate to so many different creatures on a daily basis was wearing, and if he didn’t get regular time to fly alone, he grew short-tempered and snappish. Well, more snappish than usual.

On a whim, more than anything else, he decided on a different mode of travel and called the Djinn Soren to give him a quick trip. Traveling Djinn style meant that he could get to California hours before Pia. He could still enjoy a long flight and plenty of solitude, and also be ready and waiting when her plane landed.

Sometimes it was very handy to have a Djinn owe you a favor. A few weeks previously, Soren had asked Dragos if he had any information about an upcoming commercial venture between the Nightkind and the witches’ demesne. It just so happened that Dragos had developed an extensive file on the subject, and he had given a copy of the file to Soren in return for a favor. All he had to do was request the trip.

Dragos’s face and form were too distinctive, so instead of booking a stay at a luxury hotel in the city, he chose a modest, remote motel bordering the nearby Angeles National Forest. After Soren had dropped Dragos and his luggage off, he checked in quickly, threw his travel bag on the bed and left again to shapeshift and take to the night sky.

Dragos didn’t care for L.A.—although he had laid claim to New York long ago for tactical, political and business reasons, he wasn’t fond of any city and only tolerated them at best—but he did appreciate southern California’s balmy climate. The salty breeze off the ocean was the perfect combination of warm and refreshing.

By the light of a half moon, the dragon stretched out his wings and coasted on the thermals. He wore his cloaking spell to prevent detection, and after a few hours, he felt relaxed and tension free. He flew offshore some distance and dove into the water, fishing until he had eaten his fill. Then he gained altitude again and winged north to watch the ocean waves break against the cliffs of Big Sur, relishing the solitude and the clear, brilliant starlit night.

He had circled back around in a leisurely fashion, arriving at the airstrip in plenty of time to watch the arrival of the Light Fae motorcade.

Tatiana had a few formidable magic users in her court. One of them was the captain of her guard, Shane Mac Cartheigh, so Dragos made sure to be circling very high in the air over the site and cloaking his presence tightly, as the troops poured out of the vehicles.
