Chapter Eleven

I released a long breath, hoping it would quiet the magic swimming in my blood. My hand lifted, and I opened my palm, revealing the glowing stone to the four dragons. Some things you had to see with your own eyes to believe.

As expected, utter silence fell over the room as their faces paled, and once the shock wore off, I had a lot to answer.

Jase pinched the bridge of his nose. “How?” was all he said, while the other descendants stared at me with their jaws still on the floor.

My arm fell back to my side. “I-I found a book.” The response sounded lamer out loud than in my head, but I hadn’t thought this far ahead. When I’d started this insane idea, I knew I would have to explain how I suddenly had the power of persuasion, but I naively thought I might have a day or two to digest the information myself. That was a fool’s thinking when living with four magical dragons.

“A book?” Issik echoed as if I’d lost my mind. Perhaps I had with all this power inside of me.

“And you’re just now telling us about it?” Jase rumbled. He towered over me in nothing but a pair of boxers, and it was then I noticed the others were all sparingly dressed. It was evident I had gotten them out of bed.

I sighed. My first night alone in weeks, and I’d still managed to get myself into a situation.

“Yes, but there’s no need to get pissy with me. I fixed the damn stone. Isn’t that what matters?” They were missing the point here. Sure, the castle had quaked for a minute, and I’d dabbled in a craft I didn’t understand, but no one had died… yet. I guess the night wasn’t over.

“I need to sit down.” Zade pulled out one of the table’s chairs that had been shoved in the corner and plopped onto it.

Jase bent down and picked up the Book of Stars. His brows lifted as he examined the title and thumbed through the pages, before his sharp eyes returned to mine. “Do you know what this is?”

“A book about the five dragon stars?” I phrased it as a question because, honestly, I wasn’t sure what all the book contained.

Issik’s intense eyes flipped from the book to me, a strange expression on his face. “It’s written in the language of the gods. How did you read it?”

“Uh, I didn’t.” My fingers played with the stone in my hand, while I bumbled my way through an explanation. “What I mean is, I couldn’t read it until tonight, when I stumbled upon a page with a spell. The letters rearranged themselves, and it became clear.”

The four dragons shared a loaded look. “The letters moved?”

“Will you guys stop repeating everything I say? And why do you all look so shocked? Doesn’t stuff like this happen all the time here?” I’d had to deal with all kinds of strange and difficult to believe crap since I stepped foot in the Veil, while they were more than used to it.
