Chapter 10
âWhere is it?â I demanded. âDid you get close to it?â
âNo, of course not,â the lioness said with a shake of her head. âWe knew we were close from the smell, and we didnât want to risk running into anyone, though it looks like you may have run into someone yourself?â
While my automatic healing had taken care of my bumps and bruises from the fight, my hair was a wild mess, and my clothes were covered in clumps of wet sand from rolling around in battle.
âYeah, I found the Fisherman,â I grunted and rubbed my hand through my messy hair. âAnd then I lost him. Heâs a mage, and he was strong enough to open a portal to the underworld right in front of me. He tried to push me into it before I got a hold of him.â
âDamn,â Rebecca breathed and looked me up and down. âDo you think he opened the rift, too?â
âI wouldnât be surprised,â I replied. âBetween him and whoever N is, we have some pretty powerful people around here somewhere, but for now, we need to go find that rift and seal it.â
âWeâll lead you to where we smelled it,â Aaliyah said. âItâs over by that big building with all the columns.â
âThe museum?â Phineas asked with wide eyes. âOh, I hope they havenât ruined anything inside.â
âWhat do you have in there?â I wondered, and my inner dragon paced back and forth with excitement at the prospect of more treasure.
âPriceless artifacts from our cityâs history,â Helmi replied with a smug jut of her chin. âNothing for you to pillage.â
âIt could have attracted the Sect,â I scoffed, though I was a little disappointed, to be honest. âThe same thing happened in Kana a few weeks ago, and we had to help them get rid of tons of bandits. Iâm not the only person in Rahma who likes treasure. Besides, if that was all I wanted, why would I come talk to you? I could have snuck in just like they did.â
âThatâs a good point,â Aaliyah agreed with a twitch of her golden tail.
âI suppose,â the duchess murmured, though she didnât look happy to agree with the lioness. âEither way, we need to make sure the intruders donât get to it, too.â
âThen we need to go now,â I decided. âLead the way.â
Rebecca and Aaliyah dipped their heads and paddled in the direction of the museum with the rest of our group right behind them. Phineas, Helmi, and a handful of guards followed along, and I could hear them whispering to each other as we went.
It seemed the merpeople didnât realize how well dragons could hear.
âWhy did Lord Evan think you would know about this Fishermanâs journals?â Phineas asked in a low voice.
âHow should I know?â Helmi snorted. âHe already said theyâve found other leaders involved with this Sect group. Heâs probably just assuming one of us is, too.â
âBut you arenât helping them, right?â the duke prodded, and his voice was tinged with worry. âIt seems this Green Glass Sect is involved in some very bad things, and we canât be doing anything to help them.
