Chapter Seven

He left her and descended the staircase. He had to be there to greet the new arrivals. Oidhche would be amongst them He wouldn’t be able to absent himself for two reasons. His absence would be noted, and so his identity would be revealed. Also, it was his last chance to seize control, and to do that, he had to kill Braemuir. In a fair fight, Braemuir didn’t fear him. What he did fear was an attack upon his mate or her parents. If Oidhche could get to them, he could exert pressure on her. He sent a thought to her, “Rest, mo run, you will need all your strength for tomorrow.” He received no reply, and was pleased that she was sleeping.

Downstairs, the sounds of arrivals filled the air. People were approaching the Caisteal. It was the custom that they could land at the bottom of the hill in dragon-form, but had to approach the Caisteal in man shape. Braemuir looked from one to the other and wondered, “Is it him?” whenever he looked at a man who was close to him by blood. The mind that created the black dragon was powerful, and so far had managed to shield itself, even from him. He hoped that, when he was face to face with the man, he would be able to recognise him. Then he moved forward to greet the guests.

Seonag and her helpers were directing people to rooms, offering refreshment, and finding space to accommodate those who came with more children than expected. Braemuir was pleased to see that there was no lack of babies and children of all ages. That was the sign of a healthy people. He glowed with pride as they all asked after his mate. He greeted them with cordiality but searching looks.
