“Good night!” I called after Hawker as he drove down the lane to my house, followed by a line of bikes.

Miller and Kit, whose real names turned out to be Milvus and Kite, were right behind him. Next was the older couple I’d seen in Johns. Their names were Sven and Byrd, and following them was their son Olly. Not knowing bird etiquette, I hadn’t asked them what kind of birds they had. They never asked me, so maybe one didn’t? Of course, I didn’t exactly have a bird, or at least I hadn’t seen it, but I guessed it would be an eagle just like my father’s and grandfather’s.

Sloane was there too, and she was behind Hawker on his bike when they left. It was clear that something had happened between them in the past, but neither of them said anything about it. She kept backing away from him whenever he got close, and it seemed to me as if he couldn’t make his mind up if he should laugh at her or growl.

When we’d all sat down around my kitchen table, I’d brought out the papers Vildman had left in the hidey hole. Sloane wanted them to be examined and archived at the University where they would be properly preserved, but I was worried that a lot of questions about fire dragons would come out of that. Hawker agreed, and after some discussion, Sloane did too, so we decided that they should remain in hiding a while longer until we’d figured out just what to tell about our history.

I’d left Vilda’s, Sannah’s and Troy’s stories in their box at Double H, but Mickey and I shared what we remembered. It was clear that we’d have to read them again, although I was even less interested in having these archived at the University. Sloane argued that we could pass them off as pure fiction, but I still refused. If I could figure them out, then someone else would surely be able to do that too.

There was a lot of discussion about what the prophecy could mean, and we read it over and over, but it made just as little sense to the others as it had to Hawker and me when we first saw it.

“We will have trouble if someone doesn’t use something inherited from a father, which might be the swords of the fire dragons. And the last part is just weird,” Mickey said, finally.

Everyone laughed because of the funny way he put it, but he was, in essence, correct. We really didn’t understand any of it.

The birds had all been sent down to Double H to search the area for whatever it could be that my former father was interested in. Hawker had been in touch with some of his contacts, and there were rumors that Paolo was trying to find investors for a new project related to energy but few details had leaked. The prevailing opinion from Hawker’s contacts was that it was a scam because the other families in Marshes weren’t involved.
