Kellinar wiped the sweat from his eyes and paused to assess the progress. The wall was nearly complete. The day was overly warm for early spring, but at least the ever-present wind was cool against his skin. It made the mid-day sun bearable.

Inside the wall, the tiled roofs of dwellings and buildings reflected the sunlight. On the far side of the city from where he stood, near the Dragon Hold, the newly finished University rose higher than any other building. With the help of Galdrilene, the New Sharrens had come far in the months since settling in their new home.

Kellinar reached for another massive stone block with his magic then stopped and drew back. Dark weather weaves flowed through the air all around him. Black clouds boiled in the sky, rolling over the city, and blotting out the sun. The wind picked up until it howled between the buildings. Kellinar ran a few steps toward the Dragon Hold before faltering to a stop. Shryden was in Galdrilene along with Keta getting more supplies of rock.

“Shryden, I’m going to need you here. Now.”

“What is happening?”

“Dark weather weaves are all over the sky. I can only assume we have seconds before Shadow Riders show themselves.”

“We are coming,” Shryden returned. And then, another sending from the blue, “Shadereen is under attack, as is Calladar. We will be there shortly. Given the reports from the other dragons, we are going to need reinforcements.”

Varnen came through a Slide opened above the city. His blue, Abrax, banked and swept a wide circle overhead. Kellinar threw together a quick weave to amplify his voice. “Take cover!” The shouted warning carried over the city.

It was the warning they had practiced and drilled since they first arrived. Instead of panic, the New Sharrens fell into an organized and practiced scramble. The elderly, young, and men and women with no weapon skills were ushered into the University while everyone else moved into battle positions, ready to give their lives in defense of their new home.

Two more Slides opened. Keta came through one while the other opened all the way to the ground. Mages and Defenders of Galdrilene marched through the Slide with Shryden. Nordhas sat on Shryden’s back. His blue, Arkhas, had just taken his first flights with his rider and was too young to Slide.

Kellinar turned his attention to the dark Weather magic. Though the Shadow mages remained unseen, their magic wasn’t. The clouds churned, growing darker. Lightning arced across the sky and several bolts jabbed the ground. Claps of thunder crashed over the city so loud they left Kellinar’s ears ringing.

He shook his head at the arrogance and disrespect the dark mages displayed for their magic. Natural elements couldn’t be used like this without causing ripples everywhere. It’s why the Earth Riders hadn’t raised New Sharren in a single week. Doing so wouldn’t allow the ground time to adjust and would, in turn, destabilize everything. The disturbed flow of the weather caused by this artificial storm was easily visible to Kellinar.
