Dragons of darkness and destruction,

we seek your wise counsel and your instruction.

Cassia and Hannah of the D'Anu

ask for your assistance true.

We greet you, Dragons immortal and wise.

Dragons of fire, earth, water, and skies.

To block all that is evil is our will.

Your powers are our desires that you fill.

Our loyalty to you, the ancient and wise,

Dragons of fire, earth, water, and skies.

For guiding and protecting we

who love and respect you. So mote it be.

As soon as Cassia said the last words, the Dragons on the mirror's frame began to move in a circle.

Hannah's heart pounded harder. The black glass of the mirror turned smoky gray, something that had never happened before.

The Dragons swirled faster.

Smoke rose from the mirror, smells of burning wood and ashes rising in the air.

Faster they spun.

Faster.

The mirror splintered, glass exploding in the full radius of the circle Cassia had cast.

Banshee shrieked.

Kael howled.

Hannah threw up her arm to protect her eyes.

She felt nothing, no glass slicing into her body.

She lowered her arm when silence followed the sound of shattering glass and she looked down.

The mirror's black glass was gone. All that remained was the blank, plain frame. The Dragons had vanished, too.

Hannah's whole body trembled and the backs of her eyes burned with tears that could never come. How could the Dragons have abandoned her? What had she done? Why had they left?

Cassia's quiet voice caused Hannah to look up and meet the half-Elvin witch's gaze. "This can be interpreted two ways."

Through the buzzing in Hannah's ears, she barely heard Cassia continue. "Either the Dragons have left to fight for you. Or they have gone to fight for Ceithlenn."

Hannah pushed herself to her feet and walked away, breaking the circle, and feeling shattered to her core.
