Ivar sure knew how to make an appearance. He hadn’t solicited any sort of glamour protection and now Lily swiped her face in frustration as James dragged us all to the courtyard, our classes finally done for the day.

“What do you think you’re doing?” he snapped at his brother.

Ivar jerked his arm away, defiance radiating in his gaze. “You don’t get to boss me around any longer, James, not after the stunt you pulled.” He glared at Lily for good measure, who maturely stuck her tongue out at him.

The students gave us a wide berth as we gathered under the shade of one of my favorite oak trees, a place where I would have read for hours losing myself on a fantastical adventure between the pages of a good book.

Now, I growled with frustration as obstacles continued to prevent me from getting anywhere with our mission. We hadn’t been able to learn anything useful and supernaturals kept getting in the way.

Dragons. Knights. Kings. What else could go wrong?

I noted that Evie her Hovakim stood some distance away as they watched the exchange. Meanwhile Max and his buddies sat at a table across the courtyard, their attention drawn to us despite Lily’s efforts.

“You guys need to figure this out,” she hissed. “You’re drawing way too much attention.”

Solstice keened with agreement in my ear, her finch form struggling with how much Lily was having to cover for us right now. My wyvern shifted on my shoulder and I switched her to the other one. She was getting too heavy to sit on my shoulders for much longer at the rate she was growing. No wonder she and Topaz were always starving.

Ivar handed Killian a letter, pointedly ignoring his brother. “The solution is simple. You all need to leave.”

“Why?” James growled.

Ivar pretended his brother didn’t exist, instead directing his response to the rest of us. “You’re all in violation of Article Eight, Section Five of the Realms Agreement between Dragonrider Academy and the Knights of the Silver Order. Every one of you must return to your own realm immediately.” He narrowed his eyes at me. “Including you. This isn’t your world anymore, Dragonrider.”

Killian glared back, balled the paper up, and lifted it to his shoulder where Topaz’s form shimmered. The notice disappeared a second later, likely eaten by the starving wyvern. Ivan’s expression darkened.

James crossed his arms. “We have business to attend to and we will leave when we are ready to leave. I speak for the Order just as much as you do, and Article Eight does not apply in this instance. We are not in your jurisdiction, therefore you can’t tell us to back off.”

“This entire realm is our jurisdiction,” Ivar growled, finally facing his brother. “You’re not even allowed to be here. You and I will settle this with a duel and your betrayal to our kind will be dealt with once and for all.”

I threw my hands up in exacerbation, stalking over and plopping into the swing hanging from the tall oak tree.
