Chapter 8

Magicals in the form of instructors and staff poured out of every door of the elementary building. Across campus, the same was happening for every age range. Grateful for the sneakers she’d worn with her leggings, Jezibaba ran down the steps and stopped at the bottom to stare up at the large creatures circling overhead.

“Griffins? What are they doing here?” She’d whispered the question, wondering where so many of them could have been hiding in the world. She had only known of two who still lived, but there used to be four.

“Not Griffins. A real griffin would be offended by the comparison. They’re what dragons call the soulless ones.”

She swung at the sound of Damien’s voice near her ear. “What did you say they were?”

His eyes were on the sky. “Soulless Ones. Dragons who let themselves be used for evil. Over time it reshapes them into what you see. The leader of the soulless ones hasn’t arrived or they would have already attacked. They’re in battle formation.”

He walked to her and lifted the chain of the amulet from his pocket. “Here. Put this on. It will protect you from dragon fire. I had planned to give it to you two weeks ago, but never got the chance.”

A gift? After all she’d said to him about not being interested? Her hand closed around the charm. There was real magic in it. “Did you make this for me?”

Damien shook his head. “No, the druidic mage who trained me made it for himself. He wore it around me all the time. Though Morgana was the one who sent me, his experiences with dragons had not been very good before he and I met. His life experiences were probably as interesting as yours.”

Jezibaba didn’t answer his taunt, nor did she tell him that she was naturally immune to dragon fire. She had slightly better manners than that… and she was still stunned by the gift.

“Thank you, Professor Smoke. It’s a very thoughtful gift. I appreciate your concern for my well-being.”

He nodded and turned back to look at the sky again. She looked too.

“Are the children alone in the classroom?” he asked.

Jezibaba shook her head. “No, Emeritus is looking after them. He won’t let anything happen. He’ll take them to Morgana’s realm if he has to. I’m hoping it won’t come to that. She would not be pleased to have to make a bunch of ten year olds forget her.”

Damien lifted a hand. “Is this what your warlocks saw coming?”

“Good question… but I don’t know the answer. A seer’s magic isn’t always precise.”

Her gaze went to the center lawn where the warlocks were standing and chanting. They lifted hands in the air and two of the creatures fell from the sky. The fallen lay motionless on the earth. But there were a lot more still circling around.

“The warlocks alone won’t be able to stop them all. If I ward the school grounds against dragons, you and your people won’t be able to shift. If
