Chapter Eight

Myra's confidence from the night before dissipated with the morning dew as they made their preparations as the sun lightened the sky above them. What if someone got hurt? Dragonkin were powerful, but they weren't immune to attacks. And Rhys and the rest of their clan were especially prone to get hurt during this venture. She wasn't sure she'd be able to bear it if anyone died while they attempted to host a rescue.

"There's nothing worrying will do about it," Rhys had gently reminded her, but her anxieties still haunted her. The only reason any of this happened in the first place was because of her. The clan who had attacked Rhys and the others had come because they'd needed her to find the Elders and present their demands. The Dragonkin were here because of her plea for help. If she had simply stayed with her clan, maybe all of this could have been avoided. No... Myra reasoned as she helped pack up camp. They still would have come and made their demands. I just would have had to go on this journey to find the Elders alone- Rhys would be their prisoner as well. ...Maybe if I'd just never transitioned in the first place, had chosen being a human over being a dragon, then none of this would have happened. After all, I'd have no dragon left in me to point me to the Elders, and they would have never had a reason to attack my clan.

"Alright, everyone ready?" Gadriel asked, marching toward them wearing light, leathery armor. That's when Myra finally noticed that the rest of the Dragonkin wore similar armor sets.

"Were we supposed to wear armor too?" Rhys asked, confusion and anxiety in his voice.

"Oh, no," he smiled. "We'll be doing the fighting- you two will slip in and free your clan. You shouldn't meet any resistance. We'll make sure of that."

Myra relaxed at the surety in his voice. Everything will be fine. The Dragonkin are the most powerful people like, ever. No one in either of my clans is going to get hurt today. "Then we're ready," she smiled, forcing herself to both feel and appear confident.

He smiled back at her in return as the Dragonkin gather around them, already broken up into their assigned groups. "Alright, let's move out. Rhys and Myra, keep to the trees until after the battle starts. Once everyone has engaged us in combat, then you sneak in and find your clan."

"Understood," they chimed in unison.

"And don't worry, Myra," he added, setting a heavy hand on her shoulder. "Everyone will be fine. This isn't the first time we've done this," he winked.

"R-right," she stammered, embarrassed that her anxieties were brought to light before the group. Though with their abilities to feel others' emotions at will, they likely already knew anyway.

"Alright. Josh, Afina, Serena, with me. The rest of you, gather by the side door, rush in, and make sure we flush them all out before Myra and Rhys go in."
