The iron dragon landed in a clearing. They had been here before, but when they had come the last time, there’d been an illusion placed around them and everything they’d experienced had been not quite as it seemed. Now, when they landed, Jason was certain this wasn’t an illusion—but still searched for any influence that might’ve been placed on him. He checked, searching for currents of a subtle illusion, something that might have twisted around him, and didn’t come up with anything.

“What was that?” William sat on the iron dragon’s back, resting off to the side. He seemed not to mind the heat wafting off the iron dragon, though the iron dragon had taken to controlling the nature of the heat coming off his body much better than when Jason had first come across him. Now he had enough control that he could prevent others from suffering when they sat on him.

“What did you feel?”

“I don’t really know. There was a strange tugging sensation.” William shook his head, looking all around. “It was almost as if everything sort of shimmered for a moment.”

“You felt that?”

“What was it?”

“It was tied to the illusions. I used enough of my connection to the forest dragon in order to determine if there was any illusion here. When I was here the last time with Sarah, we got trapped in an illusion and very nearly didn’t escape.”

“I still don’t really understand how that’s even possible.”

“We came from the forest, where the forest dragon had been already influenced by Therin. He was able to use her and her power. He forced her to act on us, to tie an illusion around us.”

When they had been here, it had seemed so real. Even now, Jason wasn’t even sure how much of it had been real and how much had been mixed with the illusion. Part of what they had gone through in Lorach had to have been real. They had seen what he believed to be the city, been captured by Dragon Souls and held. And had escaped. Some part had to have been real. It would’ve made the illusion that much more effective. His time working with the forest dragon had taught him that. By mixing reality with an illusion, a much stronger image was formed. When he created his illusions, forming the wind and snow, it was his familiarity with them that made the illusions so strong, but others wouldn’t necessarily have the same familiarity. And mixing reality with the illusion would make it easier.

Which left him wondering whether or not he had truly encountered any of the slaves. Perhaps he had. If so, then was there any way that he could help them too?

Coming to Lorach and not trying to help them seemed like a lost opportunity. He didn’t know whether they were all like him and had the ability to reach for the power of the dragon pearls, but if they did, they shouldn’t be slaves. They should be able to use that
