You have to get out of here.

I turned to run, but before I could, Draconian appeared in front of me.

“I came to you alone … without my pets, and you wanted to battle me.” He lifted his hands, palms up. “I wanted to talk. So, tell me, Dacia, who is the evil one?”

I stared at him. Maybe I had been eager to fight him, but that didn’t make me a bad person. Did it?

“Maybe,” he answered his own question, “it’s both of us … or neither. Maybe we’re both a little self-serving. What do you think?”

Before I could answer, I fell to the ground in a heap, paralyzed. “This time I have my dragons with me, and I am not prepared to be civilized. This time you will give me what I want.”

He bent down, grabbed my arm, and transported me to his castle.

My breath caught in my throat. I tried to swallow it, but it stuck there, aching. My eyes darted from side to side. The room was dank and dark. The air smelled stagnant. The stone walls, the massive doors, it all looked familiar. Draconian had killed me in this room.

Without releasing me from his spell, Draconian chained me to a table in the middle of the room. I tried to teleport, but as expected, I couldn’t. I tried to turn to fire, to free myself from the restraints, nothing. Giving up on freeing myself, I fought to close my eyes so I wouldn’t have to witness my torture, but I couldn’t even manage that.

“Dacia, give up.” Draconian stood over me, his gray eyes gleaming. “I brought you here because, as powerful as you are, you cannot teleport out. You are trapped.”

Aurelia. Arion. Draconian has me. Help! There was no response to my plea. I could only hope Draconian hadn’t stopped that power, too.

“Don’t make this worse than it has to be.” Draconian paced the length of the table, running his fingers along the edge. “Who knows where Nefarious is? If not you … who?”

I couldn’t answer him even if I wanted to. He hadn’t released me. “Cat got your tongue?” His lips curled up into an evil snarl. “Should we see if we can loosen your lips?”

Draconian placed his hand on mine. Bursts of colors popped behind my eyes as pain traveled along my nerves. I gasped for breath, but he didn’t stop. The edges of my vision blurred, then darkened. My consciousness slipped.

Stepping back, Draconian said, “Tell me who knows.”

My jaw and neck relaxed when he gave me back the ability to talk. I took advantage of the opportunity and thought, Aurelia, Arion, help! Then to Draconian, I said in a calm, controlled voice that belied my fear, “I don’t know, and if I did, you’d be the last person I’d tell.”
