Chapter 13

The sight of Raziel is almost too much to bear. I want to hurt him. I want him to hurt every bit as badly as I do at the moment. A tiny voice inside my head tries to tell me he knows how I feel because he gave up Xandra. Something I am not willing to do. So, I tell that little voice to go to hell.

Somehow, Raziel knows what happened. More proof he must know how to fix this. “How is she?” he asks.

“She is eager to return to her own body.” I will not tell him the rest of what we discussed.

The liar says, “As am I.” I can only grunt as I walk away from him.

We walk for another hour in silence trailing behind Grandmother and Garren. Garren makes several attempts to lure her into conversation but is quickly rebuffed each time with a look or curt remark. The fact that he keeps trying almost makes me like him. Then I remember him bowing before the Dragon and I know with certainty I do not respect him.

It is dusk when we finally reach the other side of the Lairs of the Lost. We have come to the shores of Spokane Lake and when we follow the shore around, we will reach the breeding grounds on the other side. I cringe at the thought. My stomach churns at the idea of sentient beings being bred as cattle. It is one thing to think about it in theory back in my realm. Quite another when seeing physical evidence. For a brief moment, I am glad Xandra is not here to see this.

“My debt for your foreknowledge has been paid,” Zu says to Raziel. “My journey ends here.” I am not sad to see the last of the Dragon. Though he kept us safe on our journey thus far, I do not doubt he would turn on us in a second if we said or did something he did not like.

“Wait,” Garren says and I almost groan out loud. I somehow manage to keep it in my mind only.

Zu is not pleased when he turns around. “Do not try my patience anymore today, Garren.”

“I simply want to thank you for your help.”

The Dragon is not impressed by his words. This is evident by the clear disdain in his voice. “My assistance in crossing the Lairs of the Lost was not for your gratitude. Good day.” Garren lets him go in peace this time.

Shaking his head, Garren turns to us. “We will need to set up camp for the night. The Dragons hunt when it’s dark and we do not want to get in the way of their dinner.” I would not mind Raziel being eaten by a Dragon. Except, I remind myself, he is in Xandra’s body.

Both Grandmother and I want to push on. The sooner we rescue Tabitha, the sooner we can work on getting Raziel and Xandra switched back. Perhaps once she is out of his body, her feelings for him will disappear.
