Chapter Eight

Lachlan sank back against the cramped seats in Maggie’s car. At first he warded himself, and then he extended his enchantment to include the car, casting a don’t look here spell. He’d have to keep an eye out for Maggie’s return. If he didn’t loosen his spell, she might think her car had been nabbed.

“We must speak with other dragons who returned to Fire Mountain,” Kheladin said, his voice a quiet rumble in Lachlan’s mind. “The ones here on Earth and on other worlds as well.”

“I agree. Other tasks take precedence, though. Ye heard the discussion with Gwydion and Arawn.”

“Aye, but I dinna agree with much of it.”

Lachlan shook his head. The dragon was willful and headstrong, yet he had a pure heart and a generous soul. “If we canna get this problem with Rhukon, the Morrigan, and the red wyvern—Connor—well in hand, ’twould be an excellent time to call on your kin for assistance.”

“We could live in Fire Mountain. Gwydion told us other dragon shifters went there with their dragons.”

Lachlan’s eyes widened. That option hadn’t even occurred to him, though he’d certainly heard what Gwydion said. While Lachlan had traveled outside the British Isles, so far as he was concerned the Scottish Highlands were his home. Despite their current level of contamination with modernity, he had no desire to leave. Because he didn’t want to hurt Kheladin’s feelings, he said, “Aye, ’tis a possibility. At the verra least, we could plan a visit.”

A long silence ensued. Lachlan gave the dragon space. When he finally spoke, he said. “I’d like that. Ye willna forget?” Kheladin’s fretful tone didn’t sound at all like him.

“Nay. I promise. If there’s a way for us to visit Fire Mountain, I shall do everything in my power to make certain it happens. In the meantime, surely we can locate dragons who havena been tainted by evil on this side of the time veil.”

“If they’re here, they’re well hidden,” Kheladin groused.

Lachlan inhaled through his mouth, tasting the air. It held a metallic undercurrent that stung his nose and dried his throat. Without fully understanding the why of things, he thought about what Gwydion and Arawn had shared. The conversation was brief, but they’d hit a few salient points. Water was fast disappearing from many places on Earth, and species were dying every day. Manmade chemicals were well on their way to poisoning the oceans and the air. Brighid, Danu, and Ceridwen, most powerful of the Celtic goddesses, were so furious, they’d washed their hands of humans.

Lachlan shook his head. How could things have gone to hell in so little time? Humans had been around for thousands of years. According to Gwydion, it took less than a hundred to wreak the current disaster.

’Twas the Morrigan’s prodding. She thrives on chaos. Rhukon and Connor are merely bit players she snared to move her scheme forward.

Lachlan ground his teeth together. He could just see Rhukon and the Morrigan chortling with delight over the disaster they’d created, with Connor cheering from the sidelines.
