Time was against us. Our key element was gone. And while I didn’t necessarily blame Felix for it, he’d hardly said a word as he followed me around with his head down—literally.

As much as I wanted to console him, there wasn’t time for it. We could only reasonably allow one day to prepare. Every hour could mean Hovrid gathering more and more soldiers to himself to defend the stone. That meant more swords, armor, and dragonflame would be standing between us and our goal. Felix was going to have to pull himself together on his own.

There was a lot to go over. Our gear had to be prepped, saddles checked, and swords sharpened. We reviewed the specifics of our plan over and over again, leaving no room for confusion.

That is, until it came to Beckah.

As far as I knew, the rest of the dragonriders from Emerald Flight, including Lieutenant Prax, still had absolutely no idea who she really was. I became certain of it when she marched out the front door of my house, down the steps, and straight towards us with her battle armor on and her helmet under her arm. Every bit of her gear had been polished until it shone like obsidian glass, and the golden wings painted onto the various pieces looked like they had been touched up as well. She walked with her head held high, confidence in every step. When she wore that armor, she wasn’t Beckah anymore—she was Seraph.

Every one of the dragonriders around us, except for Felix who already knew who she was, stared at her like she’d spontaneously grown a second head.

“What’s this? Some sort of joke?” One of the riders began to protest.

Prax eyed her up and down like he was experiencing a bad case of déjà vu. “That armor … it resembles …”

“A dragonrider’s?” Beckah interrupted him. “Or Seraph’s? In either case, you’d be right.”

“But you’re a woman.” Prax scowled at her disapprovingly. “And a very small one at that. I doubt you can even heft a sword.”

“You’ve seen Seraph do it plenty of times, haven’t you?” Beckah scowled back at him fearlessly. “Or perhaps you’d rather draw your own sword and test me?”

It didn’t take long for another rider to chime in. “You honestly expect us to believe this little girl is Seraph? The rider chosen by Icarus? The one we’ve witnessed turn the tide of battle after battle?”

The rest of Emerald Flight muttered their agreement. A few of them were even laughing at her, as though the idea were totally ridiculous. To them, it must have seemed that way. No woman, big or small, had ever been a dragonrider. It was absolutely forbidden.

I was going to intervene, to speak up in her defense, but I never got the chance. Icarus put an end to the debate when he landed behind us with a thunderous boom. The monstrous black dragon flared his wings and spines, baring all his jagged teeth as he crawled closer and put his huge head right beside Beckah.
