I hadn’t been able to find Joran or his father again. I knew they were leaving, and had thought that maybe I could come across them before they departed, but I didn’t know where they were staying other than a few vague references that Joran had made. Now I had to wonder if perhaps any opportunity that I might have had to uncover what they were doing—and whether it had anything to do with the Djarn and what was happening with the dragons—had disappeared with them.

I stopped in the dining hall and saw Donathar sitting at one of the tables, Jerith sitting across from him. They were speaking quietly, and I had no interest in interrupting them. A group of students sat at another table, including Brandel and Dominic. Brandel looked over to me, smirking as I stood in the doorway, which was enough for me to turn away, head back out of the Academy, and walk over to the dragon pen.

It was late, the sun starting to set, and I looked through the pen, staring at the small green dragon, feeling the energy coming off of him. It connected to me, cycling through me the way it had over the last few days, ever since I had come to understand how to use that connection.

I held the power flowing through me, creating the flames that stretched out between my first three fingers, stretching my hands apart as I probed, detecting power.

It was an easy connection now, and it grew increasingly easier the more I held on to it, struggling to maintain a hold over it. All I wanted was to master that connection in some way, and to be ready when Thomas brought me before the king.

I pulled upon the power cycling through the green dragon, working from him to me, rolling through my arms, and building upward with a vibrant connection. I had gotten comfortable with holding on to the power, letting it cycle through me, the magic of the dragon circling through me, stretching between my fingers.

I had started twisting it, wondering if I might be able to control the flames. I had seen some of the dragon mages use power in that way, twisting their flames, weaving them together, but I had not seen much beyond that. There were levels of instruction at the Academy, and I was in one of the most basic levels, working to try to understand even more. Eventually, I suspected that I could touch upon even more power, but it would be challenging. So far, everything at the Academy had proven challenging.

In time, I hoped I could. I’d found that the more I stretched the power apart, moving it from one hand to another, the easier it became for me to feel as if I could use it. I started to try to twist the energy when I heard a soft laugh behind me.

I spun to see Natalie approaching. Her dark hair hung behind her, the soft breeze catching it. She
