Dennox:

I sense Harper’s disappointment when I tell her I want to be alone, but I cannot help it.

The dragon clamored for more, demanded that Vulrux and I plunge into her soft, willing body and take her, claim her, make her ours. Until I remembered the Liberation of Kraush.

As we climb the stairs, it seems like a dam has burst in my head. Images tumble out, clearer than they’ve ever been before. I remember our ship landing in the main square of Padris, Kraush’s capital city. For the Zoraken, Kraush was a minor skirmish. Not so for the Kraush, who viewed the two companies of Zoraken as saviors. Danae was one of them. Her deep golden eyes had sparkled with gratitude as she served the hungry and thirsty troops. As the evening went on, and more pints of Padris’ finest firna were consumed, her expression had changed to lust. She’d taken my hand and led me up a set of stairs…

That memory had been wiped as soon as the Zoraken returned to their bases, but it’s come back to me. Eighteen battles. Kraush. Senish. Gaarven. The hellholes of Remousi. And of course, there was the last battle. Adrash.

It’s Adrash that I’m thinking of as I make my way back to my house. Pouring myself a cup of kunnr wine, I sit on the porch and watch the rain. The battlefield had been gray. Bodies were strewn everywhere. In death, the Zoraken lay side by side with the maroon-robed Adrashian techmages.

We’d holed up in a bombed house in the high-walled city of Karhm, waiting for reinforcements. Our supplies were running low, and three of my soldiers were badly wounded. As dangerous as it was, I’d decided to head out to the battlefield, hoping to find a med-kit among the fallen.

Someone had followed me.

A cold sweat breaks out on my skin, and though the air is warm, I shiver involuntarily as the memories unfold in my mind. I’d realized I had a shadow almost as soon as I’d stepped out, but I’d kept going, hoping to lure him or her into a trap.

I’d walked into an ambush. Six highly trained techmages had surrounded me, their staffs glowing. I’d drawn my weapon and stood my ground, prepared to die in battle, but one of the techmages had signaled to the others. “Our orders are to bring this one in alive.”

Another long-dormant memory surfaces. A gold-tipped needle puncturing the skin of my neck. Bright blue blood trickling out. The tester flashing crimson. “Draekon,” the techmages had hissed in unison. “The Zorahn scientists will pay a bounty for him.”

The next thing I remember, I’d been in the Crimson Citadel, tied down so I couldn’t escape.

A deep shudder of relief passes through me.

I had not been handed over by the Zoraken to the Scientists as punishment for crimes I’d committed. I’d been kidnapped by the Adrashian techmages.

I don’t understand why the scientists would ally with the Adrashians, and I don’t remember anything that happened to me at the Crimson Citadel, but I know one thing.
