Embrence Dragon Daughter,

Your letters to Hasley Jeweler have gone unanswered because she is missing. I went to her parents’ house to find her; she hadn’t been to her purpose in days. They haven’t seen her. They fear her to be fateless.

Please send guards to locate her. I am running the shop alone. For all that I have done for you as my apprentice, I implore you to help me now.

Your former mentor,

Amlin Jeweler

“Hasley…” Her first friend’s name escaped her mouth in a whimper. Noor stood from the bed and knelt to hug her on the vanity stool. She held onto him and let guilt and shame overcome her. She should have known, should have thought to send someone to check on her when the letters stopped. She was the heir; she had the resources. She could have packed up and left to go to her or demanded some sort of search party. She should do that now.

“We-we have to help,” Ember said as she pushed back her tears.

Noor rubbed a circle on her back and said, “Of course we will, Amir is already putting together a group to look for her.”

“No,” Ember said, untangling herself from him. That was not enough.

“Oma,” she addressed her grandmother.

“Yes, Fireheart?” Oma’s dark blue dress reflected on her hair in the low morning light. Her grey hair almost looked blue, reminding Ember of Jedoriah.

“We should leave early for the Mutrien ball. Rather than leaving in a week or so and going straight to Cruelindime, we’ll treat it like a tour and spend a day in each province. Me and Noor,” she hoped he’d agree, “will follow you to your home and then travel back the opposite way to see the other side of the kingdom, including Firetop.”

“Yes, that's a great idea,” Noor said.

“We have yet to meet the people outside of Azororion, other than at the ball,” Ember said, gesturing between herself and Noor.

“We could get to know the citizens and the keyholders better while we look for Hasley,” Noor added, going along with the idea. She felt unbelievably grateful that he understood immediately how this could work.

Oma appeared pensive, looking at her granddaughter and her pair. She tapped a finger to her chin before nodding.

“We could use this as an opportunity to kill two wraiths with one stone,” Oma said. She tapped her chin again and the strength seemed to drain from her. She leaned down onto Ember’s bed, heaving a sigh and her shoulder’s slouched.

“Are you okay, Oma?” Ember asked.

“Yes, yes. I'm thinking through our needs. With the number of people we’d need to keep you safe and the preparations we'd need once we got to each province… It would take about two weeks to reach Cruelindime stopping at each province instead of going straight through, then the ball… No, it wouldn’t do to go to both sides. Karwyn and Jedoriah would go on one side of the kingdom then you and Noor with me on the other.”

Ember could practically see the mental checklist forming in the Dragon Matron’s mind.
