When I come to, I’m still locked in the dragon’s body, the dragon is still keeping me forced down. It knows that most of the pain is gone, the infected leg just aching a little, but not enough to hurt anymore.

I have no idea how much time has passed since I was last aware, it can be minutes, hours or days. I wouldn’t know the difference. I try to push up against the dragon’s awareness, take some control, take a peek at our surroundings, but the dragon pushes me down deep. I can’t even feel my connections to the others anymore, the dragon has taken everything over, I’m just riding along inside the silence, not able to do anything or see or hear or feel anything anymore, locked inside a husk.

The same thing as before happens, the dragon roars as I feel it retreat some, giving me the possibility to take a sliver of control. I reach out as fast as I can, taking as much command over its senses as I’m able to.

The surroundings have changed, we’re no longer out in the open, but in some tent. I catch a glimpse of Bane and Litha, dressed differently from before, and they’re staring at me from a distance. The protection circle is still in place. Good, it will keep them safe, keep them away from the dragon’s jaws and claws.

’Love? Dark love?’ It’s the first even partial rational thought the dragon has had since it took control. It needs Kit, it needs to see Kit. It’s always Kit, no matter what happens, he’s the one the dragon responds to. ’Fire love. Hoard. Dark love?’ Litha, our group, and Kit.

Then the dragon pushes me out of the way again, still too strong for me to fight. And I wince as it tries to escape the circle, the pain in its leg mostly gone, but not the pain in its shoulder... Its thoughts mess up again, the pain taking it away from the sanity, back into insanity, blurring everything.

No. no! Things were going well. So well.

“Rune. Come back.” They’re the first words I hear. Kit. Very close. Very, very close.

Warmth slides through the dragon’s body, it starts at two places on the dragon’s chest, two places where Kit is touching the dragon, sending his love into the dragon.

Why is he in here? He shouldn’t be able to touch the dragon! The circle should prevent him from coming too close, if he gets too close the dragon will eat him! He isn’t safe inside the circle!

“Rune.” More warmth, this time from Litha. She’s here too!

Why?! They can’t. Can’t they sense it? Can’t they sense the insanity, how the dragon will destroy them, kill them?

But the dragon doesn’t immediately attack them, almost like it’s too surprised to find the two people it needs most at its side. Too close to its body that it can’t easily grab them, attack them, and they’re using its biggest vulnerability, love.

I push up, the dragon trying to keep
