- CHAPTER SEVEN -

It suddenly dawns on me where I have heard this voice before. This is the mother dragon that gave me one chance to escape her wrath a couple of years ago, and I took it. I cannot for the life of me think why she has sought me out. As I look into her deep-golden-brown eyes, they feel as though they are boring into me. I try to swallow the lump in my throat. The dragon seems aggressive and intimidating, and I want to hide. I back up, ready to dart behind the blue dragon, when I realize that he’s also backing up to hide behind me, and whenever I try to dart around the back of him, he somehow moves quicker. I observe him and wonder what his deal is.

Right as I do this, the golden dragon commands, Bow!

I spin around. “Me?”

At the same time, the blue dragon shuffles behind me, and I turn to see him bowing toward the golden dragon. His front legs buckle underneath his weight, his chest touches the ground, and he casts his eyes down. He is in a complete form of submission.

I refocus on the mother dragon. “I-I disappeared as you commanded.” My fear rises when I feel her anger. “Why have you pursued me?”

I have been watching you.

“How?”

The emperor dragons have the distinct ability to become invisible, and after you caught my attention, I have been watching you. You have proven to be different from the others. And I have heard your plights to be great.

“Why would you be watching me?”

The dragons have become factious due to this pact with the Valkyries in which we give over one of our clan every year to seal our alliance. It has caused great distrust amongst the dragons, and it is time for the emperor dragon to rule again and unite the dragons. You can only hear my voice because I have allowed you to. Nobody else can hear what I am saying except for the dragon beside you because I have chosen it to be so.

“What do you want of me?”

I am going to lend you this. Beside her, another dragon appears. The dragon is almost identical to her, only smaller. It is young, but its body is at least the size of the blue dragon behind me, and stockier. I stare at the dragon with an open mouth.

“You’re going to lend me a dragon? Why?” I can’t hide the surprise in my voice.

This is not any dragon. This is my daughter, the egg that you saved from the creature and that you saved from being enslaved in the black market. For as long as you respect her and treat her well, I will lend her to you.

I frown. “Is she a slave to me? Because that is not how I work.”

The scowl from the mother dragon’s face lifts, and I think it is the closest expression she has to a smile. No. My daughter and I have discussed this, and she has agreed.
