I’m obviously not the only one experiencing sinus issues. Rubbing at his nose, Josh complains, “Does the smell ever go away?”

“It is quite permeating,” Kallen agrees, but reassures him, “It will take a few minutes, but your sinus passages will clear.”

“Hard to believe the Dragons find that appetizing, huh?” I ask, wishing I had a tissue so I could at least try to blow the Goblin stench out of my nose. I know from experience, though, that it wouldn’t work. Time and fresh air are the only cure.

Eliana shoots me a horrified glance. “They truly eat those little people?”

I nod but add, “To be fair, when they started eating them, the Goblins weren’t really more than forest creatures. They have evolved and become more sentient over time.”

“Xandra got the Dragons to agree to eat imported cows smeared with Goblin sweat instead,” Kallen says proudly. Considering his words, nauseated would probably be a better reaction than pride.

Which is the expression on Eliana’s face at the moment. I definitely prefer Kallen’s pride to her nausea. “That is nasty,” Eliana declares.

I agree, it is. “True, but it was still a good compromise.”

“You’re looking a little green,” Jenna says over my shoulder to Eliana and Josh. “Didn’t things go well?”

Josh stops wiping at his nose to reply. “It was definitely interesting.” His eyes swing to Eliana before going back to their friend. She gives him a slight nod, and he fills Jenna in on the secret that even the Fairies didn’t know before now. “It seems Ra was the one who gave the Dragons their fire breath.”

“What?” Jenna gasps. “Really?”

Eliana nods. “Ra confirmed it.”

With a grin, Josh adds, “So, now they worship Eliana.”

Her face turning red, Eliana shakes her head. “No, they worship Ra.”

“Who is now manifested as you,” I counter. “Don’t knock it. The Dragons can be real jerks. It’s awesome that you can get them to do anything you want.”

“What is this?” Dagda calls from the terrace. He caught the tail end of the conversation. “Who can get the Dragons to do anything?” His voice is dripping with disbelief.

Kallen joins him on the terrace and explains what happened. By the time he is finished, Sam, Isla, Tabitha and Garren have joined us, and everyone turns surprised eyes toward Eliana. My biological father is the first to see the potential this revelation could have for the Fairies.

Dagda’s eyes quickly become calculating. “When the Phoenix problem is resolved, I would like to sit down and discuss how we could convince you to join us in this realm.”

Eliana smiles politely. “I appreciate the offer, but just as Xandra has a job to do, so do I. Ra chose me to protect the Cowan realm.”

Disappointment clouds Dagda’s eyes now, but I can tell he will not give up. He does drop the subject for now, though. Turning to me, he says, “The Centaurs and Sasquatch grew tired of waiting and sent envoys. I explained the situation and they have both agreed to help.”

“I got to see a real Centaur,” Sam stage whispers to Josh.
