Chapter Fourteen

Amber groaned as she tried to find her phone, her eyes still closed.

“Answer it,” Kade growled from beside her.

“Trying,” she muttered, her hand finally landing on the phone instead of the surface of the chest of drawers at the side of the bed. Squinting at the phone screen she saw it was her mother. “What?”

“I’ll do it.”

Amber pushed at the sheets as she struggled to sit up. “What?”

“I’ll become a Dragon Mage. And Gary. He’s to become one too.”

“You will?” Maybe she was still asleep. No, that couldn’t be possible. When she dreamt, it was always of blood. So she had to be awake. There wasn’t a single drop of blood in sight.

“But I won’t be joining the dragons. Or Knights. I’m only doing this to learn how to protect myself from any dragons or Knights that might come after me to get at you.”

“Okay.”

“And I need someone to teach me how to fight.”

“Rian.”

“Isn’t he your bodyguard?”

“No, my first warrior. But don’t worry, he won’t leave me unprotected.” She paused. “Thank you.”

“And I don’t think you should turn your father into one either. Look what a mess he made of things by chasing after Vikki.”

Now probably wasn’t a good time to explain that Vikki had deliberately broken them up. Never would probably be the perfect time to tell her mother. “Uhm, okay.” She could worry about her father later, but it was probably safer for him if he was kept as far away from dragons as possible. She also didn’t want to risk her mother changing her mind. Besides, he knew nothing about this world and she really didn’t have time to wait for him to get over his shock. There were far too many other things to focus on right now.

“When?”

Amber struggled to keep up with the conversation. “What?”

“When do you want to do this?”

“Tomorrow. Ronan’s making the new Dragon Mages tomorrow.”

“I guess you’ll send someone for us.”

“Yeah.” Why had she stayed up so late? Maybe a bit more sleep might have helped her keep up with the conversation. “Have you told Jay?”

“No. I’ll ring him now. See you tomorrow, Amber.”

“Okay.” She stared at her phone after her mother had hung up.

“You don’t look happy about this,” Kade said.

She met his eyes. “Yeah, I am. I’m just…” her voice trailed off as she tried to think how to explain her feelings. “Surprised. No, confused. I thought for sure she’d take a lot more convincing.” She dropped back against her pillow. “I guess that means we’ve only got one more mage to find.”

“It’ll have to wait. Ronan expects us there after breakfast, remember?”

“I’m not hungry yet.”

Kade chuckled. “Dragon.” The word was an endearment.

Amber rolled onto her side, smiling as she faced him. Before she could speak, a message came through on her phone. She laughed as she read her brother’s message. Am I a genius or what? She tilted the phone so Kade could read it. When Kade chuckled, she smiled, rising from the bed. “I want to learn how to use the Pliethin before we visit Ronan.
