Honor
I still had to figure out how to escape. When I retraced my steps to where Iâd been before, the doors were as unyielding as ever. The steady rush of water still trickled beyond the walls.
Fighting the Scourge with Talisyn almost seemed like a pleasant memory now. At the time, I hadnât felt crushingly alone.
Now Iâd never feel safe around the dragon royals again.
None of them would care, but it still felt like a loss to me. Iâd been fooling myself to think that any of the Royals gave a damn about me, in either of my forms. If Lucien Finn couldnât trust them, how could Honor?
The dragon royals were heroes. But they werenât good men. And theyâd never be my friends.
As I listened to the water running, an idea occurred to meâa crazy one. The conduit to the city water was obviously just on the other side of the wall. The noise was louder in some places than others. I could barely hear it when I was close to the doors. But further down, it was so loud it seemed as if there was the thinnest of barriers between where I stood and the lines of the city water, which made me wonder, could I reach those lines?
âThis is probably a bad idea,â I muttered to myself, because I was apparently steadily losing my mind.
But I couldnât let the dragon royals win.
I wanted the chance to surprise the bastards. Maybe Iâd be able to tell from their faces if theyâd been confident I could defeat the monster. There was a definite possibility theyâd sentenced me to death for whatever Lucien had done to Alina. And while Talisyn and I had joked about my death in our banter before, I no longer found that very funny.
My sense of terror simmered white hot at being trapped again. What if there were more monsters? Something deep inside me seemed to squirm, a primal fear that had mutated into a shadow within me when I was just a child.
I ran my hand over the stone wall, trying to force the same icy chill over my heart that Jaik seemed to exude, until I found the thinnest place.
Please work this time.
I tried to transform into my dragon, not daring to hope it would actually work.
My horned head slammed into the stone ceiling so hard that stars burst in front of my eyes. I let out a roar, flames briefly illuminating the dank, tiny corridor around me
My dragon was in the mood to annihilate someone, and I was not in the mood to stop it.
I slammed my tail into the wall, over and over, and the ground seemed to shake with my power.
The wall began to crack, beads of water beginning to trickle in. My sense of fear gave way to burning hot rage as I lost myself in my dragon.
The wall collapsed, a wave of water bursting into my tunnel like a hurricane. For a desperate second, it seemed it was going to flood my tunnel and I would drown.
