The men in the boat were wolves. One of which, Eos recognized right away as the male who told him to “Call me, Knud, man. I don’t need any of that title shit” when they were formally introduced after his sisters’ birth. He was a cousin of his mother’s, a healer who was married to the daughter of the man who had provided them with secret shelter upon this island.

Eos could hear Knud and his brothers arguing from many wingspans away, and the thinnest of the three was waving a white flag.

“Oh hell, here they come,” Knud said to his brothers, as they approached. “Told you the kid was doing a security sweep when we saw him earlier.

“Fuck, they’re big,” the brother behind the wheel of the speedboat said. He was taller and broader than the other two but had their same complexion of burnt gold skin. “Keep waving that flag, Rafes. Hopefully, they know what it means or else we’re about to get burnt to a crisp. Seriously, lift it higher, bro!”

The one he’d called Rafes did as instructed but glared at Knud. “We wouldn’t have to risk our lives like this if you hadn’t helped them hide where no one could find or get to them.”

“Hey, it was my father-in-law, not me. And they wouldn’t have had to hide if you hadn’t—”

“You know what, they’re not going to stop,” the largest brother yells over their argument. “Maybe if we act like sitting ducks, they won’t roast us first and ask questions later.”

“Maybe,” the two brothers answered. Neither of them sounded very hopeful.

The boat stopped and Blue Father screeched at Eos to do so as well.

Pulling his tail down beneath him, Eos hovered, flapping his wings to stay in place as Blue Father demanded to know why they were here in their dragon tongue.

This was a language the wolf brothers obviously didn’t understand.

“Oh, shit, we’re going to die. Today’s the day,” Knud said with a despondent shake of his head. The one called Rafes didn’t look much more optimistic.

“Hey, how’s it going, guys!” Nago called up to them, obviously struggling to keep his voice casual. “Great to finally meet you two. Sorry, I couldn’t before, but I’ve heard great things—”

Blue Father interrupted with a screeched command for Nago to stop rambling and tell him why they had compromised his family’s security by coming to their island.

The meaning of Blue Father’s words must come across. Nago cringed and raised his hands even higher as he answered, “Look, we know you value your security, or you wouldn’t be living out here in the island boonies. We never would have tracked you down if it wasn’t important.”

Nago then lowered his hands to say, “It’s Ola. She’s been taken. We’re pretty sure it was Damianos Drákon, and we need your help to get her back.”

Silence. For many, many moments on end, all that could be heard were the crash of the ocean waves, the speed boat’s small engine, and the beating of their dragon wings against the air.
