DIESEL

“Not right now,” I say to the guy who just walked into my shop. “We’re closed. If it’s an emergency you can call a tow-truck from the pay-phone in the corner.”

“I don’t have any coins,” comes the reply, and my back stiffens at the voice. “Just a Red Diamond the size of your head. Though I might’ve misplaced that. You know what I’m talking about, right, Diesel?”

My Dragon lurches inside me and I stagger back from the counter as I fight to keep my wings from exploding out of my back so I don’t destroy my shop and the entire city block. But it’s really fucking hard when the fight is rising in me like a fever. A fight that’s been a long time coming.

A fight that’s gonna be to the death.

“Arthur,” I growl, finally turning to face my old enemy. It’s an enemy that was once a friend, and everyone knows that friends make the most deadly enemies. “How did you find me?”

Arthur laughs as he crosses his arms over his broad chest, and I blink as I quickly size him up. Fucker’s even bigger than he was two centuries ago, and from the veins bulging on his neck and forearms he clearly hasn’t let himself go. Good. At least it’ll be a fair fight.

“You couldn’t resist buying a fucking lottery ticket and getting your ugly mug plastered all over the news, could you?” Arthur says, shaking his head as he mocks me. “You’ve stockpiled gold and diamonds for hundreds of years, but your greedy little Dragon always wants more, doesn’t it? I bet you still pick up pennies from the sidewalk.”

I snort, squaring my shoulders and clenching my fists until my knuckles crack. “Takes one to know one, Old Man,” I growl. “And speaking of pennies on a sidewalk, that’s what you’re gonna look like when I flatten you like a bug.”

Arthur’s green eyes shine, and I see the Dragon twist inside him. My Dragon is licking its chops too, and I slowly move out from behind the counter.

“I didn’t come here looking for a fight, Diesel,” Arthur says even though I see the bloodlust in the Old Dragon’s eyes. The fight is in his blood, just like it is in mine. “I just want what’s mine. What you stole from me two hundred years ago.”

I snort again. “Dragons don’t steal, Arthur. Dragons just take what they want. The Red Diamond is mine. You couldn’t beat me then, and you can’t beat me now.”

Arthur exhales Dragonsmoke, and I can see him fighting to stay in control. “Two hundred years ago I didn’t know what kind of Dragon you were. Didn’t know you could bend light, disappear even in bright sunlight.”

“Excuses, excuses,” I drawl, stretching my arms out wide and moving my head side to side to open up my muscles. “Tell you what. Let’s do this in human form. No tricks. No flames. Just two men in a fight to the death.”

Arthur shrugs. “Sounds good to me. But
