CHAPTER NINE

“Where is your dragon?” asked Lord Senvot.

Nick stood facing Lord Senvot as the sun began to set and snow fell heavily. A slight gust of wind was directed at Nick and he squinted, trying to avoid the snow from landing on his eyes.

“Answer me, boy,” said Lord Senvot. “Where is your dragon?”

“All I know is that it’s a dragon you are asking me about,” said Nick. “Like I’ve told you before, he has a mind of his own. He is off doing dragon things, but I know he will return.”

“The agreement was a dragon would protect my city,” said Lord Senvot. “Your camp has been here three days, Jeffrey.”

Jeffrey was facing the other way, minding his own business. He was looking at the camp of his people and ignoring anything Lord Senvot was telling Nick.

“I understand that,” said Jeffrey.

“Turn around and face me. You are in my city...show respect!” said Lord Senvot.

Jeffrey turned around and bowed.

“Forgive me, my lord,” said Jeffrey. “My mind escapes me sometimes. You have some of the finest warriors in the world here in your city now. We can protect your city until the dragons return.”

“‘Dragons return?’” asked Lord Senvot. “‘Dragons,’ as in more than one?”

“That is correct,” said Jeffrey. “We have acquired two more dragons since our original agreement was made. Patience, my friend. The dragons will be here and we will all be safe. We have not gone back on our word. I hope you do not plan on going back on yours.”

“You’ve been here for three days,” said Lord Senvot. “You have until the end of the week to prove you have not gone back on your word.”

Lord Senvot turned around and stormed off towards his castle. Ten guards accompanied him and followed their lord.

“Are you worried about what he might do?” asked Nick.

“No, I’m really not,” said Jeffrey. “He needs us as much as we need him right now and he knows that. I want you to help lead training tonight, Nick. I know you are not the best at archery, but you are improving. Leading will help to get your mind off of things.”

“I’ll do that,” said Nick.

All I want to do is save them, thought Nick. They need my help. Every second that passes by is another second that could cost them their lives. I have to believe that they are alright...I have to believe that they are still alive.

“Everything will be okay,” said Penny.

Nick was startled and turned around to find his beautiful girlfriend holding a hot cup of tea with a smile on her face.

“How do you know what I was thinking?” asked Nick.

“I didn’t. I just can tell by the look on your face,” said Penny. “I know you want to help Thomas and Phillip. I’m sorry that this happened.”

“I feel like I should have helped them,” said Nick. “I helped clear the camp of the other two archers, but I couldn’t even think about the safety of my friends. When it all happened it happened so fast.
