It feels like the coldest night I’ve ever experienced without Smok next to me, and being surrounded by an icy sea on a chilly sand bar didn’t help. I rejoice at the warmth of the sun the next morning. I look for Smok, but he’s already standing above me. His bandage is gone, and he appears well.

“Is your wound healed?” I walk around him to observe. The skin on his neck is flawless and clear, only dotted by a few dark bruises.

“It still hurts,” he says. “But soreness won’t stop me from continuing on my quest. Today we go underwater, to search for the queen.”

“Underwater?” I say, shocked. “Don’t you remember I can’t swim?”

“I’ve thought of a solution. I’ll cast a spell on you. My magic will make it so you can’t drown. After a few hours I’m sure you’ll get the hang of it,” he says. “I’ll cast air and fire into your lungs, so you can breathe underwater and will stay warm within the cold sea.”

I shrug. “All right. This is your mission.” I don’t think Smok realizes how long I can flounder around in the water, but he’s about to find out soon enough.

Smok takes a step forward, so he’s less than a handbreadth away from me. “Are you prepared?”

“Yes.” I smile encouragingly. “Cast your spell. I’m ready.”

Smok nods sternly. I wait for him to wave his hands or say something odd. Instead, he grasps both sides of my face, lifts my head up, bends down, and kisses me.

My lips tingle against his, and sparks fly. His eyes are closed, so I think it only appropriate to close mine, too. I relish the feeling. By the gods, I’m kissing a dragon! His mouth is full, warm and soft against mine. A blazing heat wraps itself around me from the bottom of my feet to the top of my head, sending jolting sensations rippling through my bloodstream. All thought, and all of time, stops. Smok is casting his enchantment upon me, and it has nothing to do with the adventure we’re taking together.

As we kiss, I feel the heat of his magic, his fire, traveling from his tongue to mine. It filters down my throat and into my lungs, filling them completely.

Smok wraps one arm around my waist, and another in my hair, not giving up the kiss. He takes a few steps sideways and I follow him blindly.

With our mouths fused together and him holding me tight, Smok launches us off the sandbar and plunges us into the briny depths of the Baltic Sea.
