“We need to go around the city,” Devarius answered.

“Around the city? You speak as if that is an easy feat. But may I remind you, there is no bloody place to hide around the city. Sagebrush. We’re stuck with sagebrush, and that’s if we’re lucky. It’s desert land here.”

“There’s the mountains to the north,” Zaviana suggested.

“And what do you propose?” Derkas asked. “That we go hide in the mountains to the north, where there are possibly hundreds more dragons, most of them likely still wild if the empire hasn’t already reached their greedy paws that far north. Then what? Wait them out? They have a city and supplies, food, and an army. We have three of us, a few days of provisions, and a baby dragon.”

“A very cute baby dragon,” Zaviana said.

Derkas laughed.

“We have little choice,” Devarius said. “We need to continue southwest around Melonia, and pray we’re not seen.”

“Can you communicate with your wyvern this far?” Derkas asked.

“What?” Devarius asked.

“If you can communicate with your wyvern, you can tell her to fly around and meet us in the mountains. It may be better to head into the cover of the mountains than around the city to the southern forest. It doesn’t look like this sagebrush goes on much farther to the south.”

“I don’t know,” Devarius said. “I’ve never tried to communicate this far before.”

“Try,” Zaviana said, putting her hand on her brother’s shoulder. “I think Derkas is right. I don’t believe there is any sagebrush on the western side of Melonia. Just desert, which means if they’re searching for us, and have any dragons in the sky on the west side of the city … we’re as good as dead.”

“Lovely,” Devarius said. He took a deep breath. “All right. Give me a few minutes.”

Ayla … can you hear me?

He paused for a moment, then tried again. Ayla?

Devarius dipped his head. He sighed then began to shake it from side to side.

Devarius? Is that you? Ayla’s voice sounded distant in his head.

Ayla! Yes, it is me.

Your voice is low, less than a whisper. I can barely hear you.

Devarius frowned.

“Can you reach her?” Zaviana asked.

Devarius reached his hand into the air, trying to silence his sister. It was already hard enough to hear Ayla. He didn’t need the extra distraction while he was trying to listen. Devarius wondered if he could somehow yell to Ayla in his mind.

Ayla! We need you and Chalce to meet us in the mountains to the north of Melonia!

Is everything all right? Ayla asked.

We got the stone, but we’re being hunted, and there is no coverage for us to hide to make it back to the forest. We need you to meet us in the mountains.

What if we’re seen?

Fly high. Climb on Chalce’s back if she’ll let you. If she flies high enough, perhaps no one will notice she’s a blue dragon instead of a red dragon.

We will try.

See you soon, Devarius said into his head.

Devarius opened his eyes.

“Did you reach her?” Zaviana repeated.

Devarius nodded, a smile coming across his tired face.
