With the meeting concluded, I stumbled outside feeling dazed.

Dragons had already attacked my world… what was to stop them from attacking again?

I realized with a sinking sense of dread that the Dean wanted me to ask that question. The answer was simple.

I was meant to stop them.

I finally understood the importance of Dragonrider Academy. They needed me and if I could help them in any way, I had a duty to do so.

Maybe that was my goddess blood talking, being an ancient protector of the realms and all, but it felt right.

The Dean must have trusted my resolve, because nobody waited for me outside. I took a moment to watch the dragons soaring above, mixing in with the churning clouds that constantly rolled over the spires. Students on the ground hurried to their classes and despite the horror that I’d just come to realize they all faced, they seemed happy. They laughed and joked, chasing each other and feigning strikes with their swords. My high school principal would have had a hernia, but I guess when a Viking was in charge, things were run a little differently.

“I like it here,” Lily said, making me flinch as she joined me to survey the streets. “It’s not what I expected, but in a good way.”

I swallowed hard, trying not to pay too much attention to the fact that this girl was actually a dragon. She ran her fingers through silky hair that draped over her shoulders. A pleated skirt ran short on her long legs and she was one of the few students who didn’t have a sword.

With a sinking sense of dread I realized that was because she didn’t need a weapon… she was a weapon.

Lily chuckled as I stared. “I guess I’m not what you were expecting, either, huh?”

Forcing myself to speak, I released a nervous laugh. “Uh, yeah. You could say that.” I tilted my head, looking her over. “You look pretty human.” But I’d seen her eyes change… she definitely was anything but human.

She shrugged. “I didn’t know I was a dragon until recently, actually.” She began walking, so I followed her, keeping pace. “I have a bond with one of the other students, James.” She frowned as if this irritated her. “He’s a Knight of the Silver Order. Human, but infused with knightly magic from his lineage that goes back to the days of Merlin and King Arthur, if you can believe it. Did you know he was initially supposed to kill me? The Silver Order has a different take on dragons. He brought me here because he thought I could be a weapon against the wild dragons—well, all dragons, if I’m being honest.” She drew in a deep breath, held it, then released it through her mouth. A trickle of smoke licked across her tongue. “The Dean has been a good influence, though. She’s helped him grow—and she’s helped me accept who and what I am.” She surprised me by taking my hand and giving me a squeeze.
