Chapter Nine: Return to Terza

A rim of turquoise lit the pre-dawn sky on the eastern horizon. Lyra received hugs and kind farewells from many of the sorcerers while Kenzo hovered over her shoulder. Wingold and his wife clasped hands with the Scribe to give her gifts of their special abilities that could alter seasonal rains. Lyra thanked the couple, happy their boss, Symar, wasn’t present. She didn’t want that man to learn about their mission.

“Sire Drake and Scribe Lyra, it is time for you to transport with your assistant and familiar to the Crossroads. We Guardians will meet you there,” the Imperial Dragon announced.

Lyra bent low and Noba moved into her arms, squirming as she lifted him. “I know you’re excited, but try to sit still.” She rearranged and held his tail down to avoid being stung by the poisonous barbed tip.

Kenzo sailed to a smooth landing on his master’s wristlet, then fluffed out his feathers.

Noba’s wiggles threw Lyra off balance as she attempted to step next to Cullen.

He offered her a hand and caught his familiar’s attention. “Noba, I’m glad to see how eager you are.”

The torch light gleamed off of the widened whites of the pseudodragon’s eyes. “Noba gets to help Master on a mission.” Excited, his head flipped to the right, following the motion of a passing sentry.

“Look at me, Noba,” Cullen said, recapturing the gaze of his familiar. The Imperial Sorcerer’s eyes faintly glowed as he controlled the tiny dragon’s mind with fascination. At the same time, he twisted his staff until blue vapor surrounded their foursome.

Noba remained peaceful while their forms dissipated into weightless particles of blue light. That didn’t last long, though.

As soon as they landed at the Crossroads, Cullen dropped his fascination so he could speak to Cranewort.

His familiar wriggled free from Lyra’s arms. “Noba’s going to Terza!” he called out as he half flew, half hopped toward the massive tree.

“Shh,” the ancient Gatekeeper whispered. He grabbed and dangled the pseudodragon upside down by a single branch in front of his furrowed bark face. “You must stay quiet. It’s a secret mission.”

Lyra nudged Cullen’s shoulder. “How did you do fascination while transporting?”

“Lots of practice. Too bad I haven’t yet managed to talk at the same time.”

“Or, too bad we can’t take Cranewort along to scare Noba into silence.”

Cullen winked at her and nodded.

The Tortoise and Unicorn materialized from two silvery clouds that took shape underneath the Gatekeeper’s wide boughs.

Wing beats announced the entrance of the Imperial Dragon. A spherical blaze followed alongside him and spun above their heads into the form of the Phoenix.

The sound of more dragon wings whipping the air riveted Lyra’s attention. She thought of the cimafa and her jaw tensed. Instead, she saw a pair of huge dragons, much larger than stealth drakes. Even in the dim light, the edges of golden scales glinted. It was Gea, the magnificent golden dragon she had met in Versula. The other was duller, more hidden by the shadows. But his shape was unmistakable.
