Chapter Six

Myra fiddled with a piece of her hair absent-mindedly, staring out a vast window, her gaze falling on the green expanse that surrounded the dragons’ safehouse. The past week had been full of abrupt changes, but she had adjusted to living with five dragons remarkably well, and quickly, according to Jasper- who seemed to have taken to her just as quickly. He was kind enough, but she preferred to spend her time with the calmer and kinder Rhys.

“What are you thinking about?” On cue, the gentle voice sounded at her ear. She turned to Rhys with a smile, accepting the plate with a simple sandwich on it.

“What do you think?” she joked, taking a bite.

That easy smile of his slipped back onto his face. “Myra, you know I’m both impressed and happy with how easily you’ve accepted the dragon part of your life, but…”

“But I think about it too much?” she finished with a laugh. “I can’t help it. I can’t help but imagine flying up there with all of you, wings outstretched… what color do you think they’ll be?”

“You’ve already asked the whole group,” he chuckled.

“Yeah, but you didn’t add your input,” she points out, scooting a little closer to him. “Come on. It’s just you and me. You can tell me.”

He looked at her, something burning about his gaze as he grew serious. “Red.”

“Hmm. Okay. Why? You’re the only one who’s been so sure of their guess.”

“It’s a passionate color,” he murmured, ducking away from her and hiding his face. Myra’s lungs clenched as her stomach did that fluttery thing that only Rhys caused. A stupid smile crossed her face, and she found it impossible to banish. Turning her own face away as Rhys lifted his back up, she took another bite of her food to buy time as she tried to get her thoughts- and her heart- back under control.

“So, what are we focusing on today?” she finally asked, feeling her flushed cheeks cooling at last.

“Getting in touch with your dragon power, and granting you more of my own to help.” Myra couldn’t help but grimace at that. “I know,” he continued, “I know it hurts sometimes, but you decided to become a dragon, and this is the safest and… quickest way,” he quickly finished, blushing. “But eventually, your dragon will be strong enough to break through the magic holding it back.”

Sighing, Myra nodded. She knew he was right. He had even told her that it was how he had transitioned, back before this group was formed. He had been picked up by a rogue, and as he carried on her work of saving mutts, he gathered some of those he saved into a ‘clan’ of sorts.

“Come on,” he smiled, standing and offering her a hand. She accepted it and allowed him to lead her down the stairs and through halls to their training basement. She was still sore from the workouts they put her through down there, but they said it would help her tap into her stronger dragon side, and she trusted them.
