CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Azure checked over her shoulder. She was largely powerless against zombies. They could be blasted with a spell, but they would keep coming—which was why creating zombies had been outlawed.

Her dragon bodyguard regarded her with a thoughtful stare as she asked, “Shall we go meet some weredragons?”

Micky just blinked up at her, a wisdom in the dragon’s eyes similar to what Azure had seen in Mage Lenore’s.

She turned toward the castle entrance, feeling odd entering the building alongside a dragon. Her life just kept getting stranger. Azure wasn’t sure if she was more surprised by her escort or what it was protecting her from. Zombies and dragons… It seemed silly to her that months ago she had found it hard to accept that she was half-human. That was the least unusual part of her life now.

Torches lined the arched entryway. Its walls were covered in bright green moss, and the smell of smoke was heavy in the air. Ahead the entrance gave way to a large courtyard from which loud noises could be heard.

Micky froze in the shadows of the entryway and Azure turned back to her, wondering if she should stay back as well. She blinked at the dragon, unsure what to say. It wasn’t like she could understand the dragon, or vice versa. And then, quite clearly, she heard a voice in her head say, Go.

A dragon’s roar made Azure jump, and when she swiveled to face the sound she felt something nudge her back. Micky was looking at her intently.

Okay, just when Azure thought things couldn’t get weirder, they did. She nodded at the dragon and pivoted to face the courtyard. When Azure stepped into it, the sunlight made her squint. The yard was large, and the ground had buckled in many places. Half a dozen weredragons were gathered around a single figure in the middle of the courtyard. Oak crouched there with a long staff in his hands.

A weredragon wearing black armor, its orange wings extended, launched himself at Oak, who pivoted, deflecting the weredragon’s assault easily. On the other side of him another weredragon hurled himself forward, but Oak ducked and the attacker flew over his head. The fight looked like it had been choreographed, and for that reason Azure simply stood and watched the strange dance. The weredragons all wore armor, some metal and others black leather. Each had the body of a man or a woman, although their skin was covered in iridescent scales and their backs were adorned with clawed wings of various colors. Their faces were more like Micky’s, with sharp angles and horns protruding, and their eyes matched their wings and scales, making Azure wonder if each color was linked to a special ability.

A weredragon with bright-blue wings and scales caught Oak’s staff and pushed him back with it, and where before the wizard’s face had been focused now fear sprang into his eyes. Azure tensed, grabbing for her wand as Oak stumbled back weaponless. He halted when he’d been backed up to the stone wall.
