RENEE'S LIPS BURNED as she came down the stairs of the inn. She'd wanted the princess from the moment she saw Adi's red hair glowing in the sun. But Renee was used to not getting what she desired, and she very well knew she couldn't seduce the woman she was charged to protect.

Now that Adi had made the first move, Renee didn't have to worry about that.

She couldn't think about it now. Adi had given her a special blessing, and Renee needed to use that to fire her will. Every moment now would be about killing this dragon and coming back to her princess.

Merena met her in the common room. "You already have two goddesses protecting you, but I offer you a third. My patron, Lunara."

Renee bowed her head. "I will accept any blessing you offer, wise one."

She smiled. "We owe you more than that, Knight, for you have given us hope where we once had nothing but despair." Merena touched her palm to Renee's forehead and murmured a prayer under her breath.

Renee felt warmth rise in her belly and wondered if magic didn't still touch a bit of the world.

"Thank you."

"Come. They are waiting for you."

Renee looked up the stairs, but it seemed Adi would not follow. It didn't matter. She'd rather Adi not see the battle if it would upset her. It was enough knowing she'd be waiting here for Renee.

She retrieved Fleetfoot from the inn's stables, wishing she had some armor for him. But that plate had been packed away, and the blacksmith had nothing to offer her horse. All of his wares had already been sold to the liege's knights for the tourney. She'd been lucky he had some discarded pieces for her.

A crowd had gathered in the town square as she and Merena made their way through. They looked hopeful. Renee kept herself focused on the battle ahead. Only then could she fulfill their hopes. Their regard firmed her resolve, like a force she could feel at her back, urging her to succeed.

The blacksmith, Rocco, greeted them outside the gates. He had dark circles beneath his eyes, but he wore a delighted grin. "Did my best work last night. Twelve spears for you, Knight."

"Like the Twelve above."

Merena and Rocco both bowed their head and said together, "May the Twelve bless us."

Renee swallowed as she dismounted. The air felt too heavy, as if what was about to happen had settled over the entire valley. No birds sang, nor did any insects chirp. Here was a place held in fear by this beast.

She inspected the staves, which were very fine for a night's work. Renee could carry two while on horseback, and that would work for the first part of her plan. "I'll need volunteers to toss me the extra when I call for them."

"My daughters." Rocco waved, and two young women with broad shoulders and matching crooked grins came from out of the trees. "Caylin and Nora."

"We would be honored to aid you, Knight Wyvern," Caylin spoke for both of them.
