I rested my neck back on the rounded edge of the bathtub, in an attempt to relieve the ache. A migraine had fully settled over my eyes and temples, I couldn’t move. My lids drifted closed and I took deep, slow breaths, forcing myself to keep my mind blank. Thinking was the last thing I should do at this moment, yet my brain had other ideas. An image flashed in front of my eyes and I cursed, pushing it aside, and stepping out of the steaming water.

The droplets slid down my bare skin and dropped onto the cold stone ground as I walked towards the mirror, not even bothering to dry myself. I stared at my reflection while my gaze followed the golden scales that grazed my skin over and over. Their pulsing was slightly accelerated, and the feeling that I had once deemed as anxiety rushed through me. I placed my hand over my heart just like Father had done last time, and closed my eyes. The next second, the images came to me. The ones that haunted me, every time I closed my eyes. The ones I fought with every breath to suppress.

The time I had spent in Theo’s castle had marked me, and I wasn’t sure it was something I would ever be able to overcome. No longer able to be stopped, the memories unraveled within my mind, and I was helpless but to relive the moments that had changed me forever…

The parchment felt crisp yet soft, while my eyes took in the information I had uncovered. Books and scrolls littered the desk at which I sat, in Theo’s library, while my mind absorbed the knowledge.

Avra was a Drayvok, half man, half dragon, and he was quite possibly our father.

I had spent every second within these walls since Ash left on his journey—a few hours before—trying to uncover the secrets kept from us. I had barely slept and the anxiety within me was growing with every breath. I had never felt so distressed before. Everything around me was changing, and I wasn’t certain what it all meant. Not yet.

Trembling fingers slowly traced the image of the man with a dragon shadow on the scroll, while my heart slammed against my chest. I was on the verge of a panic attack and I feared there wasn’t much I could do. My body violently tensed as a scent suddenly reached me. It wasn’t the first time I had smelled it—the rose, honeysuckle, and peaches mixed-fragrance filtered through my nostrils, causing them to flare. A wild tingling spread over my body, and my muscles fiercely clenched, while I fought the reaction with everything inside me.

“Is it all right if I sit here? I would like to continue reading, if that’s okay with you.”

Aura’s soft voice reached me, and the intensity I felt crept into my eyes while they focused on her. I nodded, and forced myself to look onto the drawing in my grasp once again. She sat on the desk in front of mine and opened a book she had previously left there.
