Chapter Eight

When the pair hit the coast, Radek found the first village, flying outside and turning into his human form to avoid scaring the villagers. It would also allow him to enter the continent without attracting any territorial disputes for a time.

“Can warlock’s speak in tongues?” Radek asked as he strolled alongside Castor. “I know fae also speak All Speech like the gods, but I’ve never heard of any magic users having the ability.”

Castor snorted, shaking his head. “It isn’t an ability for us. We actually have to learn the languages.”

“Then how will you get along on this continent?” Radek pushed.

Holding up one of his amulets, he allowed it to spin and show the emblems and runes on either side. “A few wizards thought the mess was unfair and created an enchantment to help. Anyway - I was born on this continent.”

The red dragon’s widened. “But Ronan was back on the other continent.”

“Warlocks journey as much as wizards. We keep strong communication all across the world,” Castor explained, running a hand through his hair. “We rarely settle where we were born.”

Radek nodded, toying with one of his braids. “Most dragons stay on the same continent at least. We have wings, but customs are strange from land to land as we’re a rather reclusive sort.”

“It is easier to be alone.”

“See - I don’t think that’s true,” the red dragon retorted. “Being alone is what happens when you have no choice. Though I’ve traveled here, it isn’t because I necessarily wanted to leave. I love my parents, but my mate wasn’t there. I met all the dragons on that continent. All of them are happy and settled, but I have a fate, and I want to spend the rest of my life with them.”

Castor chuckled. “You sound like Ronan.”

“I knew I liked him. The man has sense!” the red dragon proclaimed with a bright smile.

The warlock nodded with a soft smile. “Love doesn’t come how you expect.”

“What do you mean?”

Glancing away from the road to the dragon, the blond man smiled. “He spent his life searching for a mate that never seemed to come, and it turned out that his mate was his own familiar.”

Radek blinked rapidly. “Isn’t a familiar like an indentured servant?”

“No. It’s more complex. They’re a manifestation of magic.” Castor searched for the words, but in all his training, he had never found a good explanation for how it worked. “They exist - these consciousnesses. I suppose they’re elementals at the core, and when a magic user calls for a familiar, the one best suited to them awakens and melds their magic and the user’s to create a physical form.”

“Like a golem?”

With a sigh, Castor shook his head. “Not exactly. It’s more complicated than that…” Without really thinking, he reached out to Nasi. His mate shifted on the edge of his waking awareness, offering an explanation like in a daydream. “Like rain. The water is up there in the clouds, but the summoning makes everything grow heavy and fall.”

Radek nodded, but whether he truly understood or not, the warlock couldn’t be certain.
