Chapter 21

Day 14–How to find a drake

Waking up, I try to sit, only to be forced down once more. Looking to my right, I find Tallia wrapping her arms around my arm and nuzzling back into my chest. Taking in the scene I can’t help but think about how cute she looks while sleeping. Brushing a lock of hair from her face, I graze her cheek, startling her awake.

Wide eyes stare up at me as she registers what I was doing. Hope, fear, and a feeling of unease fill her eyes. Untangling herself, she pushes away and scrambles out of the tent.

Maple wakes up, stretching, and looks over at me and the empty mat between us. “What did you do?” she asks.

“I moved some hair off her face while she was sleeping.” Telling her the story briefly, I wait for her reaction.

“Yeah, that would cause her to run. Give it time, Marcus. She is trying to figure things out still.”

Confused, I ask, “What’s there to figure out?”

“Like I said before, you will figure it out eventually. She asked for it to be this way, just so you know.” Standing, she looks over her shoulder, glancing at me before leaving the tent.

Rubbing the back of my neck, I think about the last couple weeks.

What am I missing? I feel like it’s on the tip of my tongue.

Shrugging off the thoughts, I make my way out of the tent and join the others in preparing breakfast. The sun is peeking over the horizon, giving just enough light to work with. The fire is stoked and restarted, and before long the skillet is heated up. The last of the venison is cooked up for our morning meal as has become our routine.

“It’s back to rations after this. Unless Tallia catches another deer,” I say while taking the offered plate.

Maple sits across from me with her own food and agrees. “We might want to use up the rations. The bread will only be good for a few more days at best. Besides, we still need to get the draklings, so I figure we will still be out here for another few days. Maybe on the way back we can hunt.”

“I’m okay with that,” Tallia admits before sitting next to Maple. “Do you think we will find them today? We have been looking for two days already. Although we found plenty of trolls, I’m getting tired of killing the same thing.”

“I agree,” I add. “Maple, do you know of anywhere we could find them?”

“The map shows them being in this area. We just need to explore a little more. Maybe over by the cliff we saw yesterday?” she asks with uncertainty.

“Could be in a cave,” I say before cleaning my dish.

“Actually, that’s a really good point. They may have a roost in one of the caves,” Tallia states. “I think I saw a few in the distance yesterday when we first found the cliff. I say we go back there and take a look.”

Maple nods and thinks it over.
