Chapter 5

Sapphire slept for several days while Draig and Lira took turns looking after her and the child. One morning while Lira was nursing the child, Sapphire yawned and opened her eyes.

“How are you feeling?” Lira asked as she quickly covered the child with the blanket.

“I feel fine, other than having a slight tingling sensation in my side,” Sapphire replied as she rose to her feet.

“Do you recall what had happened to you?” Lira asked.

“I remember being shot by an arrow,” Sapphire replied as she tried to remember.

“Do you know who did it, or why?” Lira asked.

“Yeah, it was Ironclaw and Talon. I think they were trying to kill me,” Sapphire snarled as she recalled the event.

“That’s what Draig was afraid of,” Lira remarked.

“Is Draig alive?” Sapphire asked as her eyes lit up with hope.

“Yes, he’s playing with Splash and Bay down at the beach. Do you want me to fly down there and get him?” Lira offered so she could hide the child before Sapphire saw him.

“Wait a minute, can you tell me what happened to him before you go? You know how he likes to put his own spin on things.”

“Sure, he was taken captive and forced to work at a mine down in Cothi for the past year. When he escaped his captors, he stopped here so he could rest before heading back to Snowden. After his respite, he spotted you in a meadow on his way home. When he saw that you were injured, he brought you back here and we patched you up. Once you were settled in, he went out to look for the person who shot you. He didn’t want to leave you, but he couldn’t stand the thought of the person getting away, or worse yet, shooting down another dragon. As he followed the trail of clues, he realized Ironclaw might have been involved but he couldn’t prove it,” Lira replied.

“Draig is not going to be happy when I tell him that sniveling weasel Ironclaw and his sidekick Talon tried to kill me and make it look like the humans did it. I’m going to see that those two back-stabbers are bled out on the stone of punishment when I get back to Snowden!” Sapphire roared.

“Now that you’re up, I should probably go get Draig,” Lira offered when she felt the child stirring in her arms.

“What are you holding?” Sapphire asked when she saw the blanket start to wiggle.

“Nothing,” Lira replied.

“I’m your friend, you can trust me,” Sapphire said when Lira started to turn away.

“Alright, but it’s hard to explain, and you can’t tell anyone about this,” Lira insisted.

“I won’t,” Sapphire promised without knowing what she was agreeing to.

“There was a slave woman that helped Draig escape, and in return for her help he promised to take care of her child,” Lira replied.

“That’s preposterous, why would he do that? Dragons don’t talk to humans, let alone make promises to them!” Sapphire scoffed.

“I’m telling you the truth. Draig promised to care for her child until he could find him a suitable home,” Lira insisted.
