Chapter Nineteen

Aikira pondered the others as they neared the entrance to Crimzon’s lair. She could tell that Jenka had strong feelings for Zahrellion, and that he was hurting. What she couldn’t figure was what was going on with Zah. When they were alone, the pale-skinned druida seemed cheery and bright, but when either Marcherion or Jenka was around, she shut herself in, and grew quiet. When Zahrellion tried to set Jenka, and her own heart straight, Aikira gained a bit of respect for her; but when Jenka confessed his love for her, Aikira’s heart melted. She’d had her heart broken, too, when she’d left her own love behind in Indale. She didn’t have a choice but to go. The Confliction was calling her. In a sense she had broken her own heart, and it was still a tender thing. She felt a strong sense of loyalty with her fellow Dragoneers, though. She knew the bond forming between the five of them was going to be a potent one.

Marcherion seemed aloof. It was clear that he was the strongest of them. He and Blaze had traveled across continents and oceans unknown to join them. He’d told them of strange yellow-skinned men who were far taller than normal, of vast expanses of various wild terrains and ranges of mountains that reached unimaginable heights. He told them of an elf that rode a white stag, and of a great city built into a cliff face high above the sea. He had killed a wyvern without the aid of Dour magic, and the deep scars on his scalp under all his wavy brown hair lent him a rugged, battle-tested air. Aikira had no problem understanding why Zahrellion looked at him the way she sometimes did.

Of all the Dragoneers, Rikky was the one that intrigued Aikira the most. He worked hard to overcome his deficiency. He worked even harder to make it seem like he wasn’t struggling. Even now, as they were entering Crimzon’s lair, he was straining with a blank expression on his face, using all of his concentration to negotiate the rocky terrain with his worn wooden peg-leg.

The melody Aikira was humming was suddenly stretched from her throat only to return in an almost painful surge. Then the ethereal was gone. She called out to Golden, but her voice never left the confines of her imagination. She called out to the other Dragoneers, but they didn’t hear. She moved back away from the cave opening, going several dozen strides back down the slope, hoping that the loss was from a ward the old dragon had placed on his abode, but that wasn’t the case.
