Out of Sorts

The Revinir and her two red dragons didn’t follow Simber and the ghost dragon. Instead the dragon-woman watched as her former protégé and the rest of the black-eyed rulers left the area. She wondered how they’d managed to get past the five vicious dragons she’d sent to guard them, and then she realized with a pulse of concern that maybe they’d had no qualms about slaying their dragon friends after all. After the way Thisbe had treated her, it wouldn’t be too surprising that they all were just coldhearted.

She wanted to feel angry—the same kind of anger she’d felt when the betrayal had happened. She almost sent the red dragons after the group, but then she would be alone except for the mind-controlled servants she’d brought with her. They were not stimulating conversationalists. Nor were the red dragons, for that matter, but their presence was large, which somehow made up for something.

“Might as well be alone,” she muttered. Every last one of her servants and dragons had been stripped of any sort of intelligent banter after the Revinir had taken control of them. It had only bothered the Revinir a little before Thisbe came along. But now that the girl was gone, it was painfully obvious that smart conversation in the castle was severely lacking.

How could Thisbe not be missing it too? They’d really had a connection. Was she only playing a part with her people to keep them from attacking her? The thought was absurd, yet… it was enough to keep the Revinir from acting immediately. Was it possible that Thisbe had purposely missed her with that obliterate spell? She wanted to believe it.

With a shake of her head, the Revinir turned away and started toward the castle. She didn’t have the heart to go after them tonight. She needed to get her anger back so she could do the job once and for all with the proper amount of vengeance it would take—and with the dragon and soldier backup—to slay them all and be done with it. She didn’t think she’d have to work too hard to take them all out. There were fewer than twenty of them from Artimé according to the last report from her dragons patrolling the skies. She realized the statues would likely be difficult to do away with. It didn’t matter, though—they couldn’t really hurt her. If they took down some soldiers and dragons in the effort, so be it. That didn’t affect her.

No, those statues weren’t dangerous like that grandfather had been. She winced and tried to swallow. Her throat injury, where the metal star had embedded, was getting worse as time passed. She was glad she’d killed him for it, but that didn’t lessen the pain.

As the Revinir continued to ruminate on the recent incident, trying to build anger, she wondered why she hadn’t just eliminated all the children in the square when she’d had the chance. Dev had been there too—the nerve of him somehow surviving! That was downright embarrassing.
