Chapter 20

Rath’Na

After a night of deep thought, I find myself leaning against an old tree, whittling a piece of wood as I watch her. She is astounding. So gracious, so precious. So utterly charming.

She is playing with the ravens, throwing them carrion and then laughing with delight when they return to her, surrounding her under the thunderous sky. They clearly adore her, and I can see why. She is a very charismatic woman. Strong, fearless and fierce, but with a vulnerability that has unfortunately urged my protective side to come out. She’s gotten under my skin, and I’ve figured out why.

She rescued me from imprisonment, something that I’d resigned myself to a long time ago. I didn’t think I would ever see the light of day again. I’m assuming that when the original King died, his curse on me broke, causing me to come out of the catatonic state that he compelled me into. It’s not as bad as it could have been.

Word around here is he died about twenty-five years ago, so my imprisonment wasn’t all that long to me. A quarter of a century is nothing when you are as old as I am, which is quite ancient. I snort to myself, finding amusement in it for some reason. I never thought I would laugh again, but then that little girl got shoved into the cage next to me and relentlessly probed my mind with that power of hers. I don’t think she did it on purpose, but I’m glad that she did. I’m glad that whatever she saw in herself through my eyes, was enough to get herself free. If I’d been forced to watch her raped and tortured at the hands of that little prick, it would have been my end, for sure. The fact that she felt enough for me to take me with her is surprising.

The second I was free of that magick-dampening cage, I could feel my strength returning. The hearty meal, jug of ale and much-needed balance of my Dragon, and I’m almost at full power. That last bit is just out of reach. But I have an idea of how to get it back, and Savannah is the key.

Not that I’m going to use her. I’m fairly confident she will help me all on her own, but getting close enough to her is tough. Her men are suspicious and protective.

So they should be. I would be, too, if she were mine. The last thing I would do is let an old Dragon like me near her. But I will convince them I mean her no harm. No harm at all. In fact, the opposite. I can only be of good to her. For some reason, she listens to me, and I’m no stranger to telling strong women what they need to do versus what they want to do.

She spins around and catches sight of me. Her smile widens and she walks over to me, a vision in her slim black dress and bare feet.
