CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE

Somewhere, a clock was ticking in Berlin’s castle when Hiker slipped through the large doors. He was a large man by any standard. However, in comparison to the giant, he felt like a gnome as he stood in the oversized castle. Everything in the place was made to fit the large giant.

A table that stood as tall as Hikers’ midsection sat in the dining room to the left. If he were to sit in one of the chairs around it, he had the sick feeling his feet would barely touch the floor. In the opposite room were various other pieces of furniture, all of them oversized.

As Hiker had assumed from the smell that had wafted from the open window, the castle was unkempt with trash all over the place and grime marking most of the walls. A thick coat of dust covered everything, making him scrunch up his nose as a sneeze threatened to rip from him.

He shook his head and willed the sneeze to go away as he considered his options. From the kitchen, his enhanced ears picked up on the giantess whistling as she cooked. It smelled potato-based with a strong hint of licorice and sardines.

Hiker grimaced at the combination. Here he had thought Ainsley’s cooking would push him over the edge. He should probably be glad he didn’t have Berlin’s mum cooking for him.

Hiker knew he should be grateful for what Ainsley did for him and the Dragon Elite, but there had been so little time over the last few centuries to process everything. To really appreciate her. It was hard to remember who she used to be. Who he was. Who they were.

He looked out the window he’d been spying through a minute ago and saw the Family Tree in the distance. Hiker made out Sophia jumping from a branch, the bird diving after her. He didn’t know what the young dragonrider was doing, but he hoped she was successful at recovering the gold token.

Pulling his attention to the stairs, Hiker listened. He heard the groan of a mattress from the second floor and assumed that was where the angry giant had gone to take his nap.

As carefully as he could, the leader of the Dragon Elite began to climb the stairs to the second floor. The steps were higher than those Hiker was used to, making him have to raise his feet up higher to reach the top landing. When he got there, his boot made the floorboard creak.

Hiker froze and listened, holding his breath.

“Mum, is that you?” Berlin asked from the nearest room to the right.

Not daring to even blink, Hiker remained still. He might be the most powerful magician on the planet currently, but with that strength came an imbalance. That’s why he was there. He knew without a doubt that if he was confronted by the giant, the fight wouldn’t be so decisive of a victory for him. Hiker suspected that under his current circumstances, he’d lose before the fight even started.
