Chapter Nine

She wasn’t sure if it was the right move, but it was the one Angus made and she wholeheartedly supported him as he looked William right in the eye and said, “That is how long I was in captivity.” He paused and when the doctor merely stood still with a look of shock and disbelief, continued, “I appear to have traveled around the world and am very thankful to be whole and on the mend.”

“An entire century?” Barbara Wolfe answered, following William through the door, with her husband and daughter bringing up the rear.

With a sadness in his eyes that made Olivia want to rush and kill everyone who’d ever dare lay a hand on him, Angus replied, “It was 1916 when the lads, the Force of Guardsmen I belong to or did belong to called the Enforcers, and I rode into battle to save a small clan pinned down by a coven of rogue wizards. I saw Amelia, my nurse, write 2017 as the date when she was checking my temperature yesterday. So, if my math is correct, that is a hundred and one years.”

He paused and looked at Olivia, his eyes filled with such need that she no longer cared who knew what he meant to her as she walked to his bedside and laid her hand into his outstretched palm. Listening with not only her ears, but also her heart, Olivia could feel what it cost Angus to relive the most horrible experience of his life.

“It was a brutal battle. One in which we lost one of our own, but in the end, we did prevail. Only the cowards who deserted the battle were left breathing, for they had scattered like roaches in the light of day. It took a day and a half to say our goodbyes to our fallen brethren and release his soul into the Heavens. With heavy hearts, we finally went to sleep, knowing we, as the dragon kin’s elite group of warriors, would most likely be sent to battle evil again very soon.”

“Sometime later, I was awakened with my dragon roaring in my head, unable to move a muscle, literally frozen where I lay. Black magic was thick in the air. I couldn’t hear over the sound of chanting. I was eventually able to open my eyes and see the ones responsible for the treachery that had befallen us.”

“There, in a circle, stood tall masked and cloaked figures, chanting their evil spell, being led by a small woman I believe to have been of Elven descent. She knew who we were, what our mission was and was more than pleased to throw her knowledge in our faces. It was such a shock. We had operated from the shadows. Each with a special ability, all called upon to serve not only our kin, but all paranormals in the fight against those who would see us eradicated.”

“With a silver disc placed on each of our chests, she bespelled us, promising we would live forever, suffer forever, locked away in a tomb of her own design, unique to each of us.
