Chapter Seven

Dira had to admit she was having a pretty good time. Once she had surrendered to the fact that he now knew what she was and he was accepting of it, she gave herself permission to have fun.

Once the permission had been given, she actually enjoyed herself as he cracked jokes and told her about his family’s business.

Fashion was always interesting, but the familial obligation to participate in the advertising was hilarious. “So, you have actually posed, pouted and twirled in front of a camera?”

She sipped at the wine that Lemiander had brought over. It was a nice vintage, and she appreciated the full, fruity notes with the rich wash as she swallowed.

“I have. It was a fun few years, and then, it was my sister’s turn to turn and flip her gaze at the camera. It would have been more fun if we could shape shift for it but that wasn’t allowed.”

“So, you have siblings?”

He was working on the cheese plate with honey. “I do. One brother, one sister, both younger.”

“Are both your parents unicorns?”

He nodded and licked at the honey on his thumb. “We carry over a third of the entire unicorn population in our family alone. Were your parents both what you are?”

Dira laughed. “My father was a griffin, my mother was the dragon. One of my sisters became a griffin, another became a thunderbird. We all went our separate ways as our natures called to us.”

He looked at her with wide eyes. “I had assumed you were an only child.”

“Oh no. I had sisters, and we caused quite a ruckus. The local humans tried to burn us out on several occasions. The thunderbird effect kept them at bay, and they actually began to worship my sister. I have no idea if she is still in that tiny mountain range. We don’t speak.”

“Why not?”

“She started eating her worshipers. I don’t hold with that sort of thing. Either hunt for your food or become a vegetarian.” She nibbled at her cheesecake.

“What about your other sister, the griffin?” He finished his plate and reached for his wine.

“She died during a crusade. She fought to keep invaders on either side from her village, and she became the focal point of the attack. Both sides united to kill the monster, and after she was dead, peace broke out. Her body returned to human state as she had crawled back into the town gates, and her people surrendered to the invaders who naturally concluded that they had been enslaved by the beast.”

He put his wine glass down. “I am so sorry. What was her name?”

“Dinyali of Medorka, one of the braver sisters in history.” As she always did when she said her sister’s name, she raised her glass and drank to her.

Mak mimicked her and forever won a warm place in her heart. “To Dinyali of Medorka.”

“My parents died when we became adults, so it was only us three in the world. Now, I am the only one left.”

“Have you met others of your kind?”

“A few times.
