I watched the survivors ride away, their passage wiped away by the spells protecting them, wards that had done little to protect their friends from the dragon’s wrath.

“Looks like it’s just you and me.”

Smoky stood by my shoulder, my larger, more handsome, shadow.

He snorted in agreement.

For, though we were not alone, we might as well be.

Doerne’dane and his lot hunkered yet around camp, if anything more eager now than when the quest began.

Now they had fewer to share the spoils with should we somehow manage to kill the dragon.

The dragon’s assault had probably saved them from some dirty work before returning to Sky’s End or skipping out entirely.

Which did not bode well for me, should I succeed with them.

“Doerne’dane, are you ready to break camp?

“The day is not getting any cooler.”

The Dwarf scowled as he rose, his squat frame as solid as the boulders strewn around us.

“Aye, ’slinger, we’re ready.”

That he knew what I was, and his accompanying disdain, were not altogether surprising, but they were words laced with caution nonetheless.

“Might as well call me Eustace.

“Everyone else does.”

I gave a brief nod, keeping the smile from my face.

Eustace the Dwarf.

I wasn’t sure how he earned that name, but I bet there was a story in there somewhere.

Glaring at his companions lazing about the camp, Doerne’dane barked, “Luerl, Scarlack, Fronus, and Drute, ya sorry ondar, get ta movin’! There’s dragons ta flay and gold ta claim!”

On such a positive note was our quest renewed.

I expected nothing less.
