Chapter Fourteen

Before Morganna had time to answer, more flashes of light lit up the trees and the surrounding area, like the fireworks we set off at the dragon-slaying parties. Out of the flashes appeared more Wolvren. There were perhaps forty of them, most of which were in their human form, although some were shifted into wolves like the Alpha. We were surrounded in every direction by the snarls and bared teeth of the Wolvren pack, with Morganna in the center.

I did my best to ignore the danger that was all around me—easier said than done. “I’m from Dronias. I came here to see you.”

Morganna held her arm out at her side as if to quell the angry mob behind her, or at least to keep them from attacking. Her expression changed from one of pure anger to intrigue, no doubt because of the company I was with. Proving me right, she spoke.

“A Slayer with dragons?”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“Hmmm. Interesting.”

“We came here to see you,” I repeated.

“I have no wish to speak with anyone from my village. Not since...well, not at all, and I especially have no desire to converse with dragons. They, as you are probably aware, are a Slayer’s natural enemy.”

“Not to mention the wolves’ natural enemy,” hissed the Alpha, who had changed back into his more human form and who had now taken his place at Morganna’s side.

“And yet, I wonder... What has happened that two such enemies would team up just to speak to me? The Slayers hate the dragons more than we do, Alpha. To see them together like this is truly exceptional.”

“We can take the dragons and leave the girl if you wish?” Alpha, for it seemed that was his name as well as rank, took a step toward me. Behind me, I could feel the others pull in closer.

“No. Not yet. I need to find out what this has to do with me. If we kill them now, goodness only knows how many others will turn up. I want to speak to them.”

“Thank you!” I breathed a sigh of relief. It was obvious she didn’t really want us there, but I hoped that once she heard my story, I could persuade her to change her mind.

“Not here, though. You are too close to our village. No matter your reasons, I will never permit dragons into the village. It will violate the trust of every Wolvren here and I refuse to do that to them after they so graciously took me in. There is a clearing about three miles from here due west. If you follow that path and carry on in the same direction, you should get to it. You will know it once you see it. It is a large circle of grass where no trees grow. I do not have the magic to transport you there, so you will have to hike. I’ll meet you there and we will talk. You may also set up camp there, although do not misinterpret my generosity. It will be for one night only.
