Wishing to calm her nerves, she snuck into the eastern wing of the palace the next day, tracking them to their training grounds, only to freak herself out when she saw what they were capable of. She wasn’t just outmuscled, they had moves she’d never even read about, let alone seen in person.

“Chill,” Vincent told her, appearing out of nowhere by her side. “You’re going to be just fine.”

“Vincent, they’re dragons. As in real dragons. The kind that have scales and can breathe fire. What if one of them shifts in the middle of a bout and sneezes on me? I’ll be toast.” She wanted it to sound light, because she didn’t want to offend her friends, but hell, it was seriously scary.

Vincent shook his head in response, putting his hand on her shoulder. “Two things: first up, they’re not going to shift in the middle of battle. It’s bad form and they’d be vulnerable for close to a minute while they were shifting. You can knock that off your worry list. Secondly, you already faced the fiercest amongst them, and won. You ain’t all that puny, you know.”

Xandrie punched him, playfully, on the arm. It was great that he could make her laugh at herself.

“That being said,” he added when she was almost reassured, “Saskia did underestimate you - she didn’t use the extent of her skills because, not unlike Demelza, she isn’t one to want to humiliate her opponents. She won’t do it again. You’ll need more training, more endurance, and more understanding of dragon magic, so that you may use your strengths adequately.”

Xandrie nodded, determined to do whatever it took to keep her head on her shoulders.

“You’re going to trail me for a month. Everywhere I go, you go, and you fight alongside me.”

“But,” Xandrie was frowning, “aren’t you one of the King’s personal guards?”

She knew he’d been allotted two hours a day to train Demelza, but giving her all of his attention would surely call him away from his duties.

Vincent laughed. “Trust me when I say the King won’t be an issue.”
