Chapter Nineteen

This swarm is far worse than the one that appeared in the sky when I first got my magic.

When I was kicked into the pit and refused to die.

There are easily a thousand dragons here, if not more, blocking out the sun.

Preparing for war.

The Bosses scream into the sky, and the dragons above seem to hear some kind of command that I miss. One by one, the thousands of shifters drop to the ground and land behind their Bosses.

Before long, the six fully-shifted armies fan out across the grassy field like spokes on a wheel. They bob their heads, growling and adjusting their wings as they all focus on the center of the circle of dragons.

On me.

I briefly look over my shoulder to find Drew, Tucker, and Jace standing in a row behind me, each glaring at the populated field around us. Arms crossed, each man surveys the gathered shifters with a grim expression. Levi towers behind them, thunder rumbling in his chest as he protectively scans the dragons around us.

And, to my surprise, the dojo’s army fills the grassy field behind Levi. Behind me.

The dojo has made its declaration—they honor and protect me, so long as Jace orders them to do it.

The ground shakes beneath us, and to my surprise, I find Isaac Palarne stalking cautiously toward me through the makeshift arena we’ve created in the grass.

My first challenger.

The dark green dragon digs his claws into the ground with every slow and purposeful step as he sizes me up. The powerful muscles along his arms tense against his scales.

He’s going to charge, and the admirable dragon is giving me quite a bit of warning.

The spikes on his wings glisten sharply in the sun as he coils, ready to spring. His square head angles toward me, his gaze focused and calculating.

I square my shoulders and clench my fists, summoning the white light along my skin.

Let’s do this.

Isaac darts at me like a bullet out of a gun, and I roll easily out of the way. Recovering is easy, and I calmly walk the edge of the arena as I survey my opponent.

As he and I circle each other, I notice the Bosses watching me thoughtfully, studying my movements.

I’m not worried. I’ll get to do the same to each of them in just a moment. They’re going to betray their own secrets today, no matter what they think they’ll glean from me.

Isaac thunders along the ground with the practiced grace of a seasoned fighter. Every step is made with intention. Every tilt of his head has purpose, and he never once leaves any part of his body exposed. The muscle in his legs and neck ripple slightly with every thundering step, and a low growl builds in his throat as he prepares for his next blow.

He’s brilliant, and I would never want to truly face off with him in a battlefield.

Thankfully, this is all just a test. Today is about pushing boundaries. Assessing skill. This little match of ours isn’t
