CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

Llyr was resting on his bed, staring at the ceiling. She saved my life, again. The dragon allowed me to stay because of her.

He sat up, placing his feet on the floor. I’ve found the teacher. Who would have thought it would be a dragon? I promised to contact my brother when I found the teacher but that will get Rebecca killed. She’s saved my life twice and I’m supposed to stand aside and allow her to die.

The struggle between his duty and his honor gave him quite the dilemma. His honor demanded that he stay with Rebecca until he repaid the deed. Yet, his duty demanded that he serve his people by telling his brother where this teacher was.

What’s more important? My people or myself? Llyr took out the medallion, staring at it. After a long moment, he put it down, tapping the diamond three times, I must look beyond myself for the good of my people.

He kept his finger on the diamond until it went cold. As soon as his finger left the diamond, the image of his brother appeared.

“Llyr, I wasn’t sure you would report back.”

“I’m doing this for the good of our people,” Llyr stated.

Daire nodded. “I assume you have found the human teacher? Good; tell me where you are…”

“Brother, there is something you should know,” Llyr said softly.

“And I’ll arrange a raid to terminate the threats…” Daire said, not hearing Llyr.

“Daire,” Llyr spoke a little louder.

“And retrieve you. I’ll be…”

“Daire!”

Daire stopped talking, startled by Llyr’s yell. “What?”

“The teacher isn’t human.”

Daire shook his head. “That’s ridiculous. Only a human could teach other humans magic.”

“Not in this case.”

“Well, if it isn’t a human, what is it?”

“A dragon,” Llyr whispered.

Daire’s eyes widened and his face became pale. Before he said anything, his image blurred and was replaced by another.

“Are you sure?”

Llyr bowed his head before answering. “Quite sure, Overwizard. He almost killed me.”

“Why aren’t you dead?”

“The human I was sent to kill pushed me out of the way.”

“Then she is dead?”

Llyr shook his head. “The dragon stopped his attack when she saved me. She arranged for me to stay here, though I was thoroughly warned not to do anything wrong.”

The Overwizard’s eyes showed a frenzied fear. “This ruins many of my plans. Is he alone? Does he appear to have an army?”

“I saw no other dragon, my Lord, but the complex he uses as his lair is vast and I saw many golems stationed throughout.”

“Hunter, you will have to stay there and observe this dragon.”

“My Lord?”

“I cannot afford to lose the thousands it would take to kill this dragon. Another way must be found. You will find this dragon’s weaknesses while we explore other options that are available for taking this world.”

“I will do as you say, my Lord.”

“Report back when you have found the dragon’s weakness, otherwise we will have no contact.” The image blurred and disappeared.

Llyr put the medallion back under his shirt. How am I supposed to spy on a dragon?

A ghost floated through his door.
