Chapter Twelve

Uncle Max had never warned me that my growing dragon keeper powers might zap my energy, but I guess we have to learn some lessons on our own. Either that or the events of the preceding week had really taken it out of me. The adrenaline that had been pumping through my system during Titus’s attack on Drakonis had worn off, leaving me achy and groggy. All I wanted to do was roll over and take a nice long nap.

“Favor, are you all right?” Kellum’s voice breached my comfy, snuggly bubble of what could best be described as sleep, and I grumbled in his general direction for it.

“That sounded like a ‘fuck off’ to me,” Ryen joked from the end of my little cobbled-together bed.

My eyes fluttered open to find Kellum leaning over me. The rest were scattered around the room, all eyes on me, watching with a mixture of worry and warmth. As tired as I was, it felt nice to have them be concerned. I could certainly get used to that.

Hale leaned over Kellum’s shoulder and smiled at me. “Did you find Uncle Max?”

I shook my head against the cool vinyl of the cushions and rubbed my eyes. “He left a note.”

“Let me guess, cryptic as hell, right?” Danic’s deep voice rumbled.

“Actually, no,” I said as I sat upright, even though every cell in my body cried to lie back down. “Said he was off to hunt down some jadokari.”

“Where?” Ash asked.

“No idea. Didn’t say.” I debated about whether I should tell them about my sudden ability to read Balaur fluently, as well as being able to remember it after waking, but decided it didn’t really matter. They already knew that skill was starting to develop in me anyway. “He did say I should stick close to you guys, though.”

“Hey, we’re finally getting a step ahead of the guy,” Ryen said, bouncing on the balls of his feet and grinning. “Now we just need to set up the internet in the office and hide it from him until he comes around, and bam, we’ll all be back in business.”

That was good for a laugh because we all knew Max would rip out any internet lines as soon as he returned.

“I know you’re joking,” Kellum said, shifting into coordination mode in the blink of an eye, “but actually, we should get a few things set up here if we’re going to be using this as our base of operations for a while. I’m thinking fixed wireless, anything else we can rig up from our mobile equipment to make this place functional.”

“And clean up the place,” Ryen added, glancing around at the destruction.

“And clean the place up,” Kellum echoed, raising his eyebrows and pushing some papers on the floor out of the way with his foot.

“Why didn’t you clean up while I was passed out?” I asked.

Kellum frowned. “Favor, you were out all of thirty seconds.”

Good grief, I’d never get used to the time gap during my visions — or whatever they were called.
