* * *

That’s a shame. I'm keen to meet this Gilroma. I want to see if he is good for you.

"Aww. What's this? Are you acting like a mother to me now?" I poke Elan’s leg.

Someone's got to do it. You certainly don't know how to look after yourself—always getting into trouble when I turn my back.

"Oh, whatever." I nudge her with my elbow, and she nudges me back with the side of her head. I stumble over a rock and land against the hard surface of the tunnel wall.

Elan looks down the tunnel. What sort of place is this to live anyway? It's so sheltered and in the middle of nowhere.

"Let’s just say he’s an unusual character, and he wouldn't fit in very well with most Asgardians. If you were a strange character, you wouldn't fit in very well with Asgardians either, and you would probably hide in the middle of a mountain."

Aren’t I already an unusual character who most Asgardians don’t like? She tilts her head to the side. Even so, I wouldn't hide in some cave buried deep within a mountain. That’s way too claustrophobic.

I frown. “True. But you’re very large and would be a formidable opponent to anyone who challenges you. Plus, you have wings."

Kind of different, but not really. I still wouldn’t hide inside a cave. She screws up her nose, and her scales clump together.

"Yeah, I can't stand the cave so deep inside the mountain either. I'm always afraid that it will collapse on top of me, especially when I use my magic inside of it."

Suddenly, Elan’s face turns serious, and she tilts her head to the side. What is that?

I look in the same direction, unable to spot anything. “What’s what?”

She ignores me, and the strange look remains on her face. She tilts her head in the other direction.

"Elan, what’s what?" I ask again. I stand next to her and rest my hand on her side.

Quick, get on! She squats her front legs, making it easier for me to climb on. It’s harder to secure myself without the saddle on her back. I wrap my legs around her neck and clasp the scales at the front with my hands. She pushes off into the air. We rise slowly, my body rocking up and down as her wings labor to lift us. She has me worried, and I can feel the frown adding pressure to my forehead. Without a word, she flies a short distance before descending again. It is then that I see it, and the depths of my stomach churn with deep, aching pain.

I spot the zmey hovering over something on the ground then dive toward a moving object. On the ground, three figures are scattering to the sides. The zmey drops, claws first, striking the pale-faced Valkyrie. It then flaps its wings, rising in the air, and dives for another. My cheeks turn clammy as the blood runs from my face. It is attacking Hildr, Eir, and Britta.
