Chapter Thirteen

I turned in the direction the tunnel of flame was originating from as I neared the center of the street. The heat from the fire was hot enough to parch my face and dry my eyes even from yards away.

I looked up to see a lavender-hued dragon in the air, its wings flapping as it hovered in place, its jaws agape as the fire rushed out.

I just stared in awe for a few seconds.

I'd seen the dragons fly and there was something in their size and the clear power in their bodies that inspired respect. But to witness it as heat from the flames licked my skin, the sizzle of burning flesh hot in my nose…

Yup. Fear. But I didn't have time for it. I needed to work fast if I was going to be of any real help.

Bracing my feet, I brought my bow up and took a deep breath, calming my heart. The angle was too weird, I didn't have a clear shot at its eyes. Shooting for it anyway might do nothing, or distract it and make it attack me.

Not great outcomes. But I couldn't just do nothing.

I scanned its body quickly and finally decided on a shot I might be able to make. Adjusting the bow, I aimed at the place where its wing joined with its shoulder. I might be able to incapacitate it, forcing it to drop to the ground.

No time for second guesses. I tapped the release.

Just as the arrow flew, a gust of wind from another pair of approaching wings changed the trajectory. It just missed what I was aiming for, and instead lodged right in the dragon’s shoulder.

Well, shit.

The column of flame abruptly disappeared.

Yellow eyes turned to look at me. And they weren't happy.

I turned as the sound of another pair of wings drew closer. It was another purple dragon. It stopped, hovering to my left, not nearly far enough away for my comfort. Though far enough would probably be on the other side of the city, maybe the planet.

Double shit. This was it. At least death by dragon sounded badass. Not that anyone but dragons would know.

Then a bright gold flash hit my peripheral vision. My gaze jerked back over to the dragon that I'd managed to annoy just in time to see the golden dragon hit it from the side, pushing it away.

Away from me.

I recognized that bright gold flash, though I didn't know how when he was going so fast. But I knew it was him. Ashur.

I turned back to the other dragon still hovering near me. Why wasn't I dead? One quick burst of flame and I'd be gone. Mia kabob.

My eyes caught its deep yellow ones as it twisted its neck, its head tilting to the side and the slits of its nostrils flaring. It drew even closer, and then landed just yards from me. My hands itched to draw my bow, but that might set it off.

Did dragons eat people? Now probably wasn't the best time to speculate on that particular topic.
