Chapter Seven

Krys and Kelnen were greeted warmly by the host and seated in a delightful booth.

She ordered the angel hair pasta carbonara, and he ordered spaghetti with meatballs.

She was chuckling. “Somehow, I didn’t see you as a spaghetti-and-meatballs kind of guy.”

“Well, I can’t only eat food that I generate. There are a lot of wonderful things on this world that I have yet to experience.” He chuckled. “Ten years has not been enough.”

She sat and sipped at the water that had been brought for them. “So, how did you meet the magical people around here?”

He smiled and took her hand, rubbing her palm with his thumb. “We did not arrive quietly. There was a shooting star, a pulse of magic, and then we were standing in a crater in a mage’s backyard. We explained who we were and how we had arrived, following a beacon that wouldn’t be set off until five months from now.”

“From now?”

“Yes. Five months from today, the mage that we will introduce you to on Saturday will gain enough magic to send out the beacon that provided us with our second calculation point in space. It let us arrive here within your lifetime.”

“Wow. So, someone called you?”

He chuckled. “And we arrived ten years before he sent the signal.”

She widened her eyes. “Which is how he knew to send the signal. Wow.”

“Yes, he has been trying to get a protector for this world, but no drakes reside in the area. I am the first of my kind on this world.”

A server came by with a loaf of bread and a small crock of butter. Krys grabbed for it. She was hungry.

“So, what is the community here like?”

“Bloodthirsty, backstabbing, but generally mostly good people. Everyone is looking into gaining a leg up for the next generation. They are obsessed with maintaining their family status and obtaining the best mate to increase the chances of more power in their children. They have lots of sex but minimal reproduction.”

“Ah. So, with me, you really got lucky.”

He grinned. “In so many ways.”

Their meals arrived, and they went quiet for a few minutes until he looked at her. “Can I try yours?”

She nodded and loaded her fork with pasta and flecks of bacon. She held it out to him, and his eyes gleamed as he opened his mouth for the fork. When his lips closed around it, she had a flashback to being fed from his mouth to hers. She clenched her thighs together and retrieved her fork.

His eyes widened as he chewed. When he swallowed, he looked at her plate. “That is really good. Can I have some more?”

She laughed. “Order your own.”

He looked around and got the server’s attention. When the man came over, Kelnen ordered another plate of the carbonara, and the server nodded and went straight to the kitchen.

She snickered and continued eating.

Around the restaurant, she could see a few folks looking at them and whispering.

She glanced over at Kelnen, and he smiled. “Would you like to try some of mine?”

She exhaled and shrugged.
