CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Anna and Gray exchanged horrified looks. She was correct. A bonded person of the others could see through the eyes of a dragon. He or she could order the dragon to locate Dragon Clan families and even individuals of the Dragon Clan. The others could then tell the king’s army their location.

Anna was right. There was no way to hide.

The invasion had to be stopped here at Shrewsbury. The danger of them entering Shrewsbury was that if the bonded member of the others was there, he or she could identify both of them and prevent them from the mission.

Gray said, “We can’t go in there, yet.”

He opened his pack and removed the ink, pen, and sheets of paper he’d brought with him. He sat and sketched out his ideas and discoveries on a single sheet of paper if they were indeed true. He made it clear that part of it was only supposition. He fought to keep it short and to the points.

He made a copy and handed it to Anna. “There is a bookstore. Inside is a girl named Kelby, very pretty. She’s from Fleming. Make sure it is Kelby, then give this letter to her, but don’t let anyone else see you do it.”

“Why two copies?”

“In case, only one of us has the opportunity to pass it off.”

Anna was stubborn. She said, “Why wouldn’t you . . .”

She didn’t finish her sentence. Gray might be taken captive, placed in a cell, or even killed. Her expression showed she understood.

Gray stored his writing materials without meeting her eye. He stood. “We need to go. They’ll wonder if we don’t get there soon.”

Anna folded her copy and slid it inside her shirt. She slung her pack and walked beside him, her mood depressed and near angry, but she held her words. Obviously, she was thinking dark thoughts.

The road was empty again. Gray watched for the mushroom picker but didn’t see her. The road made a wide bend around the mountain they’d climbed the afternoon before, and soon the sun sparkled off the water in the distance. Ahead grew trees and a few low hills, but no sign of Shrewsbury until a few fingers of smoke rose to their right.

The road took them in the direction of the smoke, and in a break through the trees, roofs were visible. Gray noticed both of them were walking slowly. He tried to think of something funny to say, but nothing came to mind. Ahead was the object of their mission. Anything they found out, even the smallest detail, might help their family, and the entire Dragon Clan. Humor didn’t have a place.

The docks came into view. There were three, none in the best of shape. However, there was a finger of rock that extended far out into the water. It was made of thousands upon thousands of rocks piled on top of others. It protected the narrow mouth of the bay from waves coming off the Endless Sea.

The bay itself was a long, narrow v shape.
