We had a whole afternoon of dragon riding after lunch, and Captain Caiman gave us another opportunity to ride Rubens. Rufus, who had ridden with his brother the dragon mage, performed his flight with the rapier red the best. Stafford, who revealed that he’d visited Mount Fornax on several occasions with the orphanage, also succeeded in controlling the dragon.

While Gobi didn’t cry during his ride, he did throw up. Poor Ivan fainted and had to lie on the sandstone for the rest of the lesson. When it was my turn, Rubens didn’t act up. He’d probably heard through the dragon vine about what I had done for Fyrian. By the end of the lesson, Captain Caiman told Rufus, Stafford, and me that we had a place in his Dragon Riding Academy if we failed to become mages.

After classes, we headed toward the mess hall for dinner and passed Master Fosco, who was walking with a group of dragon warriors. Some wore the red uniform of dragon riders, but the half-ogre in the front wore the burgundy of a dragon mage. He turned to our group and grinned. “Rufus.”

Master Fosco raised his brows. “Another brother, Livens?”

“Yes, and a powerful one, too!” He clapped Rufus on the shoulder. “Come and join us at the Warrior Queen for a goblet of dragon’s tears. Bring your classmates. I will introduce you to the drogott team.”

“This is your chance,” hissed Fyrian. “Make an excuse.”

Rufus turned to us. “Are you coming?”

The others gave him a thumbs up, but I stepped back. “I’m going to study.”

Master Fosco narrowed his eyes at me. “There is no homework during assessment week.”

“Yes, sir, but I wanted to read up on what I missed this morning when I ran out of Healing class.”

He gave me a reluctant nod, and the group of males strode across the courtyard in the opposite direction. Walking as slowly as I could, I kept glancing over my shoulder so they wouldn’t see me enter the main building. The Director shot me a lingering glare, but he continued along with the others.

When they disappeared around the building, Fyrian said, “I think he’s suspicious.”

“Then we’d better make it quick.” I waited a few more moments to make sure he didn’t double back and try to follow me, then I rushed through the wooden doors.
