CHAPTER 6

“I would have thought better of you than to marry a dancer,” Peter said as they entered the theater.

Alexander raised an eyebrow.

“But you know she's a carapace,” he said. “And possibly the most powerful one we've ever met. A carapace-dragon alliance is something that has long been sought after.”

“Was that before or after our father ordered the slaughter of them because of how dangerous they were?”

Alexander evaded the question. “They aren't dangerous,” he said. “As long as they are on your side.”

“I hear they can be addicting,” Peter said, giving him a sideways glance. “Have you ever heard that?”

Alexander evaded the question as well, leading him through the maze of underground hallways that took them to her dressing room.

He was surprised when Ariel saw him in the hallway and threw her arms around him. He hugged her back. “Darling?” he asked.

“I'm going crazy. I need to sleep,” she said. “Sorry, I thought I was tougher than this. You dragons mess with my head.”

“It's alright,” he chuckled, running a hand through her hair. “It's fine. Grab your bag and we’ll walk back.”

“Thanks,” she said, locking her dressing room door behind her as they began to walk. She was still in her stage makeup, and he could see the weariness in her face. Alexander was looking forward to a nice, relaxing night. Peter seemed at least quieter and less self-destructive than he was twenty-four hours ago. Alexander even had plans for a romantic evening, and he was about to ask Ariel what she thought when she suddenly she stopped dead on the sidewalk.

“Darling?” he asked. She was staring straight ahead across the sidewalk. In front of their hotel was the very man she had seen in the lobby earlier today.

“There,” she said, trying not to be obvious. “Is that not a dragon?”

Both of the boys looked across the street, and Peter turned pale.

“You're not crazy,” Alexander said, looking closer.

“If I'm not crazy, why do you two look so stunned?”

“Because that is a dragon,” Alexander finally managed. “His name it Otto.”

“Good?” Ariel replied, but Alexander wasn't done speaking.

“He's dead,” Alexander finished. “Otto has been dead for two years. I personally saw him vanish into the Other. He worked in the palace as my father's aide-de-camp.”

“He was with me,” Peter said. “In the Other.”

“Didn't you just get finished telling me that Peter coming back was some sort of miracle?” Ariel asked. “How are there two of them now?”

“Three,” Peter said, and both their heads swiveled towards his pointing hand.

Wandering down the street looking confused was what Ariel recognized as a female dragon. Her neck was longer, her eyes the telltale yellow, and she looked recently changed.

“Do you recognize that one, too?” she asked her husband, who slipped an arm around her.

“No,” he said. “But I'll hazard a guess to say that you can feel the Other magic off her, too.”

Ariel closed her eyes for a moment. “I think so. It's not an exact science, you know.”

“We have to get inside the hotel,” Alexander said.
