Chapter 10

Fable

They were about to head into the castle proper, to explore it when she spied something dark in the distance. Dark, huge, and moving with great speed toward them.

“What is that?” she asked quietly, not afraid, but more than just a little curious.

No bird she’d ever known flew quite so fast. And though it appeared as little more than a black spec now, it was so far away, that she knew whatever it was, was actually massive.

Owiot stood very still, looking to where she pointed.

As it flew faster, the spec began to take on shape. It grew longer, more sinuous, and with an exceedingly broad wingspan.

It also began to change in color. From dark, to a dazzling white—like that of freshly fallen snow glinting in the sunlight.

A minute later, she knew exactly what they looked at.

“I am not certain—” Owiot began to say, but she shook her head.

“I do. It’s a dragon.”

Dragon’s were dangerous. Territorial. And downright pissy at the best of times.

Gathering her considerable power to herself, she vibrated like a tuning fork as her body swirled with shadow and the thickening swell of her dark magick.

She was just about to blast the interloper with a bolt of it when the coloration changed once more—to one far more familiar to her.

Golden.

The dragon roared.

And there was nothing in all of Kingdom that sounded quite like the roar of a dragon. They could move the heavens itself when they roared, but when an Earth Shaker roared, why...the earth itself would rip open.

The castle heaved mightily, causing her to stumble a step.

It was Owiot’s turn to latch onto her elbow, to steady her. And though she’d wanted nothing more than to feel his touch, she had far more pressing matters on her mind now.

Like why in the name of all that was holy had Button suddenly decided to make a showing in her realm?

Squashing her power to just the merest of trickles, she glared at the growing shadow, which was now massively huge and could no doubt destroy half this castle with one swipe of his golden tail should he be of a mind to.

She’d not seen Button in ages, and yet Fable recognized the ice blue of his eyes. Dragons, who’d been taken in as pampered and cherished pets, became what was known as familiars. Meaning they took on aspects of their keepers.

In Button’s case, he’d taken on Galeta’s blue coloration in his eyes.

“Damn that filthy fae to the very depths of the River Styx,” she spat heatedly.

If there was one thing in Fable’s life she was sure she’d never forgive, it would be Galeta’s cruel treachery.

Button landed gracefully on a turret that was, coincidentally enough, the proper size and length to handle the weight and mass of a dragon his size.

Ice blue eyes drilled intelligently into Fable’s heated ones.

“Well,” she snapped at him, knowing full well that the blasted creature hadn’t shown up here by coincidence at all.

Turrets weren’t made to support dragons. Which meant, grandmother had had a hand in this too.
