Less than an hour later he sat on Shryden. Kellinar looked back to make sure everyone who was going stood well behind the dragon. The other dragons had retreated to the ledges in front of their lairs. He reached for Shryden, “Looks like everyone is ready.”

The blue lifted himself into the air then opened the large Slide all the way to the ground and held it as the people on the ground moved forward. The dragon entered it slowly, making sure to pass through with everyone on the ground. In moments, Shryden was hovering above the inner courtyard of the castle at Markene.

Shryden let the Slide close and landed carefully to give the people under him a chance to move. Kellinar unbuckled the safety straps and jumped down beside the dragon as Toren appeared at the door to the keep. He ground his teeth together; the man didn’t listen very well.

He crossed the courtyard in long strides. “Toren, I said Kalila stays with you in that room. Not leave her alone when you feel like it.”

Toren looked over his shoulder then back at Kellinar. “She is still in the room. She is safe.”

Kellinar brushed past him. “Yes, just like she was safe when Sadira took her.”

Toren caught his arm. “Who are all of these people?” He eyed the soldiers warily.

Kellinar glanced back and waved his arm absently at the group. “Toren, this is everybody. Everybody, this is Toren.” He pulled his arm away and strode into the hall. Stupid. He should have taken her back with him. Kellinar didn’t draw an easy breath until he yanked open the door to the study and saw her standing in front of the empty fireplace.

“Your brother has trouble listening. He was to stay in here with you.”

Kalila laughed but it held a bitter sound. “Do you really think if Sadira had shown up that me being in this room with Toren would have saved me?”

“Actually, yes. It would have saved you both.” He scowled. “I placed wards over the windows and door. Anyone trying to pass through that used Shadow magic would have found a nasty surprise. It wouldn’t have held them for a long period of time, but maybe long enough for me to get back to you. However, Toren passing through the wards weakened them.”

She looked away from him. “Oh, we didn’t know.”

He crossed the room and took her chin in his hand, forcing her to look up at him. “You are not a Dragon Rider but that doesn’t mean you aren’t important. You have a purpose. If you want to fulfill it, you will have to be more careful.”

Kalila stepped back, pulling her chin away. “I will be more careful.”

He nodded. “Good. Now come with me. There are quite a few people in the courtyard. Hemmen sent the Defenders you requested.”

A look of surprised relief swept over her face. “He did?” She took a deep breath. “You have no idea how much more confident that makes me.”

Kalila followed him back to the courtyard.
