Chapter Six

Raven’s heart pounded in her chest as she strapped on the large hiking backpack, in which all of her and Owen’s supplies were securely packed. She cinched the straps as tightly as they would go against her body, and then gave Owen a small nod.

“Alright,” she said. “It’s now or never.”

“And we’re invisible right now, as best you can tell?” Owen asked. He was standing in front of her completely naked, ready to shift into dragon form. They were both doing their best to ignore Saul’s dragon, which was still circling above Sandview and yelling out booming threats at its horrified citizens.

“I’ve cast the strongest invisibility shield I possibly can,” Raven said. “We don’t have a protective shield around us, because I’ve focused all of my magical power into the invisibility shield to make it as strong as possible. I think we both agree that staying invisible is our only hope of survival, anyway. A protective shield won’t last half a minute against an army of this size.”

Owen nodded. “Alright, then. Let’s do this.”

He stepped forward and gave her a soft kiss on the lips. Warmth flooded from his body to hers, and the heat felt like a reassuring hug wrapping around her. She could use all the comfort she could get right now. She was a seasoned warrior, and had made it through several battles in the last year. But she knew that if Saul’s soldiers saw them, all her military training would not save her. She took a deep breath to steady her nerves, then looked down at her magic ring. It was glowing with a soft light, reassuring her that her invisibility spells were in effect. All she could do was hope that they held long enough for Owen to fly them out of this hornet’s nest.

He had taken several steps backward now, so that he would have space to shift into dragon form without knocking her over. She met his eyes and gave him a brave smile. He smiled back, his eyes sad. They both knew that their lives, as well as the fate of the dragon amethyst, hung in the balance.

“Hey,” he said, taking another couple of steps backward. “You know I love you, right?”

Raven’s heart leapt happily in her chest. “I know,” she said. “I love you, too.”

His smile deepened, and then, a rush of energy hit her like a wall of water. He began his transformation into a dragon, while Raven nervously watched the sky. Her heart clenched in fear, thinking of what would happen to her and Owen if any of Saul’s soldiers saw them right now.

But the invisibility shields were still doing their job. No one so much as glanced in their direction, as far as Raven could tell. All eyes were still on Saul, as he circled and made terror-filled threats against the citizens of Sandview.

When Owen had completely shifted into dragon form, he bent low to the ground so that Raven could climb on. She checked the straps on her backpack one last time, and then hoisted herself onto her dragon’s broad back.
