Chapter 8

Are you sure they’re not going to kill us? Tirian questioned as he remained in the air above the battlefield. They might just want us all to let our guards down, and then they’ll pump us full of arrows.

“I don’t think so,” I told the silver dragon telepathically. “You heard their leader. If she was going to kill us, they had the perfect opportunity right there. Also, there’s no way they’d go through all the trouble of taking us back to their village if they were just going to off us right when we got there. It’d be way too much time and effort, and it would put their entire tribe at risk.”

So… Should I come down? the silver dragon asked timidly. You think it’s safe?

“I think so,” I noted. “I guess if it’s not, then you can spend all eternity saying ‘I told you so’ when we’re ghosts.”

The silver dragon let out a soft snort, and then his slender figure beat its wings and slowly began to descend down onto the grassy savanna. He landed on the dried-out foliage with a dull thud, and his eyes darted back and forth between the rhino-women.

“We have a lot to talk about,” the white-haired leader said. “Such as how you’ve come to have two dragons on your side, with a third one on the way.”

“I told you,” I repeated. “I’m the Draco Rex. Literally the Dragon King. My species has the ability to bond with every single type of dragon, so we’ve used that to my advantage.”

“Indeed.” The rhino-woman nodded slowly. “And what sort of a species would that be? I’ve never seen anyone like you. Or like your ‘crewmates,’ either.”

“We are dragonkin,” Darya explained as she and the rest of my crew approached the rhino-women. “At least, most of us are. Created by Oshun in the image of the great water dragons.”

“And we are Coonag.” Nadir pointed back and forth between herself and Lezan. “A race of the greatest warriors you will ever meet.”

“We’ll see about that,” Rikuri huffed under her breath.

“I am a Niralope.” Nima stepped forward and placed her hand against her chest. “Designed in the image of the goddess Nira, we are messengers of peace and love…”

“Who also happen to be some of the best archers around,” I added. “They may be peaceful, but they are equally as deadly.”

“I’m a Morpho,” Candara spoke up with a soft flap of her wings. “We don’t really have any special skills or major purpose in life… But we do have these lovely wings!”

Candara did a little bow and fluttered her emerald wings happily.

“Fascinating,” the leader of the rhino-women mused. “I suppose we should tell you our names, as well?”

“Uh…. Yeah,” I chuckled awkwardly. “That’s… that’s generally how introductions go.”

“Forgive me if I come off as a bit harsh,” the white-haired rhino-woman apologized. “You are the first visitors we’ve ever gotten on this island that aren’t dragons. Other than that one time when some strange-looking, muscular creatures came here searching for dragon eggs.
