Chapter Fourteen

Rob tapped on the tereagal, and, as they turned, the winds shifted.

“I need to get back to the cold,” Rob said. “If we don’t, I fear I’ll be diminished too much to defend and protect us. Do you think we can return?

The tereagal tried turning, but the wind picked up, far more violent than before.

Rob strained, attempting to freeze the surrounding air, but he sensed the tereagal struggling with that. It was a creature of fire, and Rob was one of ice, so the two of them, combined way they were, needed to work together, not against each other like Rob had started to. That was a mistake, and yet, he wasn’t entirely sure how to help the tereagal.

The wind pushed him, drawing him toward the storm cloud.

Rob shifted on the tereagal’s back, resisting the urge to use his ice essence on the tereagal, and on the cold he felt. He couldn’t see anything below, but was aware of the ground shifting, something he should’ve paid attention to before. They passed his boundary, and they were in a place beyond.

Maggie warned him about leaving his realm. He’d still have essence, but he’d be less than a dragon soul. Which meant he was still powerful.

At least, that was Rob’s hope.

The air was cooler, naturally so. Rob could take advantage of that. And it meant he’d have to find a way to exert his essence to allow him to press outward, and push beyond what he’d already done. He might be diminished, but it might be an opportunity for him to test just how diminished he’d be.

Power exploded from him. He sent it toward the dark rumbling cloud, catching a glimpse of lightning flashing inside. Rob tried to freeze the small rain particles, but the cloud’s strength was more than what he possessed. It couldn’t just be an essence cloud. There had to be something inside it, but unless he could disburse it, he wasn’t sure he could uncover what that was.

He looked down. The safe answer was to return, distract the essence cloud, and get the tereagal back, but when had he ever done anything safe?

He focused on Serena, Griffin, Ashmond, and finally Yoral. When he did, he gave them an image of what he was doing, and what he intended. Serena reacted first, as they had the best connection, and he knew she’d be unhappy with his plan. She tried to tell him no. But he refused.

Ashmond surprised him, though.

“Use us,” the arctic cat said.

“I don’t understand,” he said.

“You can use us,” the arctic cat said again.

Then he was near the storm cloud. The wind pushed the tereagal, dragging them toward it and forcing them to have no choice but to get closer to the power. Rob tried to fortify his essence, attempting to secure it, but even as he did, he felt a considerable amount power still roiling against him. And though the tereagal shrieked, trying to explode the heat within, it wasn’t going to work. The cloud
