I could do a lot of things but fighting against a dragon wasn’t one of them.

“You need to stay close to me.” Laz was tense and there was no chance of him casting a look over his shoulder at me with his attention so riveted on the threat in front of us. “He must’ve been watching us for a while, seeing how far we’d get before intervening.”

I scooted forward, pressing myself against Laz’s back as I peered around him. Cowering wasn’t something usually in my nature, but I also was unable to use my powers, in a world that wasn’t my own, and about to fight a freaking dragon of all things.

“Fates help us,” I whispered.

“We make our own fate, amica mea, and the only thing that will be happening today is making it home. Got it?” The fierce determination in his voice straightened my spine.

If anyone could do this it was us, and I believed that all the way down to my toes that as long as we were together we were unstoppable.

“Got it,” I said. I stepped to his right, staying a half pace back to ensure I stayed out of sight for Laz. We weren’t off the steps yet. With the end so close, there was no way I was going to risk failing now. Together, as side by side as possible, we’d find a way past this dragon.

The beast launched itself into the air, spreading its wings wide as it circled above us like a vulture eyeing some carcasses.

I held my breath, not a single muscle moving as I studied the dragon.

He was massive, easily thirty feet long, with black scales that made him as dark as night. His tail slashed from side to side, spiky barbs whipping through the air like a mace, which extended from a thickly armored body with four limbs tucked close to the body for streamlined maneuvers, but I still spotted the ivory claws glinting in the lightning. His wingspan was at least the length of his body, the membranous tissue thick yet flexible as it caught differing wind drafts, almost reminding me of Laz’s wings. The dragon’s long neck stretched from its body, swinging from side to side with such mobility he had a 360-degree view. Finally, his head was made with thick jaws that glistened with teeth half my size, smooth horns that curled behind his head, and a snout that huffed smoke with each breath.

He swooped down, careening his head to the left, and one golden eye sized us up. The slit-pupil dilated when his attention landed on Laz. He reared, screeching, circling into the clouds and disappearing from sight.

“What do we do?” I pressed the balls of my feet into the ground, widening my stance slightly like I was about to throw down with some average demon.

My power sang in me, pleading to be utilized, but I squashed it down despite how my chest hummed with need. I had spent so long pretending to be a witch, using bought magic from Kyla, that I forgot what it felt like to have my power in my hands.
