I'd been so dead to the world after everything that had happened that Kai had carried me back to the room and cleaned me up while I was half asleep, as well as had to explain to the others exactly what Timmon had pulled with the wedding ceremony. All of which I slept through.

Dawn had barely even broken when the priestess was knocking at our door. In a way, I was glad for it because it meant we were up and out before anybody even suspected anything.

I wasn't sure how far against Timmon's plan the priestess was going, but I wanted her to be safe, and the safest thing for her was to get this done as quickly as possible. The walk was longer than I had expected, and our entire group was silent. Even the priestess only occasionally looked back at me.

Finally, her curiosity became too much at some point, and she asked, "How do you know you're the key?"

Instead of answering her directly, I replied, "What do you know about the caretakers?"

Her brow furrowed slightly before she said, "I know that they're the guardians of the realms that, according to someone who saw your outburst at the dinner the other night, they are being slaughtered. Is that right?"

I nodded silently.

She shook her head sadly before she continued, "They're the keepers of magic. Without them, we have nothing."

It was exactly what I had needed to hear to convince me that if anybody was going to appreciate the dragons that I had living under my skin, it was her. Silently, I removed the bands on my arms as I mentally asked my fire dragon if he wanted to come out since removing the band on my leg wasn't feasible, given the pants I was wearing.

Unless I wanted to strip down in the middle of the forest, that is. Which I didn't. Especially not a forest where I didn't know which plants might kill me.

The three of them burst forth, spreading their wings and looking like jewels amidst the greenery of the forest. The dragon from Atlantis had never appeared so blue, so bright, and my dragon from Hyperborea was even more ethereal than I remembered. My fire dragon was too similar to the land he came from, and when he swooped around, it looked like he was hoping to find a battle on the outside.

The priestess gasped, her hands flying to her mouth, then her chest, just over her heart, covering each. "By the Maker," she whispered, as though she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

All three came and perched on me, with my dragon from Atlantis landing on top of my head of all places, and the other two on each of my shoulders. "You see, I've been successful in obtaining the stones from the other three realms, and when I did, each one gifted me with a dragon that lives within me. The marks you had previously seen on my skin were evidence that they were there." Her awe at seeing the three dragons gave me hope that I'd made the right decision to show her.
