Chapter Thirty

In the willow’s shadow

she took my coins away.

But oh what Molly gave me

left a smile upon my face.

- Parydon Cobbles

“We don’t have time for me to explain what happened with Master Bottikkor.” Zeezle seemed a little embarrassed, for Master Kruuga was eyeing him now. “Dragon Isle is where Gallarael had Pyra take her,” Zeezle said. “Since the Paragon left the broken castle, I would have to assume he is there, too, gathering power to either take Zyth or Orendyn, but we all believe it is Zyth he wants, and that the Orendyn threat was just to distract us.”

“Now wait a minute,” King Russet cut in. “Once he has Orendyn, and Dyntalla, he will be able to gather real might, and maybe have a true chance to take Zyth. You Zythians are underestimating how badly it stung when you thwarted him. He will let you wait and wonder. But if you do, he will gather all the other dazed he has on Harthgar, and the gods only know where else.

“That he would go after Zyth so soon is not in his best interest. Not if he is in need of, desirous of, what is the word?”

“Addicted,” Master Kruuga said, and stepped in front of Zeezle. “I think the young king is wiser than he looks.”

“Yes. Thank you, sir. Addicted to dragon teardrops,” Russet blurted. “That is what I am saying. He wants it all, but he can’t stop feeding.”

“Maybe Dragon Isle is the only place left with dragons,” a fae suggested, but was hushed by Moonsy’s glare.

“No, no,” Zeezle said. “There are dragons in Highwander, and they are bred on Harthgar. Probably by one of the Trigon’s companies. The Outlands, and Vah Mystica, at the farthest reaches, are even still guarded over by dragon riders. The wilds beyond there are untamed, and full of the oldest wyrms of them all.”

“Who is giving long-winded lectures now?” Elva Toyon said from the floor. “If it is not on Dragon Isle feeding, it will be soon enough. Our eyes tell us that it spends more time there than anywhere else, and not just in dragon form. It hides between feedings by becoming something small and unnoticeable.”

“Great,” Zeezle grumbled.

“I feel it through the Glaive, when it is near,” said Moonsy.

“I can maintain a simple detection spell,” Zeezle shrugged. “I am afraid for my friend and was just being melodramatic. The question is, who is going with me, and what will we need to trick the Paragon, like we tricked Master Butt Licker?” This time, Zeezle grinned at Master Kruuga. “You’ll have to take Dorlan’s place in the scheme.”

“I am going, too!” Moonsy said rather loudly, her eyes pleading with Elva Toyon and the ancient elves behind her.

“You’ll have to.” Zeezle dismissed the denial that was already forming on the elven bitch’s mouth. “Having the Glaive will give us the edge we must have to make it work.” Zeezle raised his eyebrows twice at his pun, and gave Elva Toyon a hard look as he helped her from the floor.
