Maura sat on the ground, chin sticking out. “I won’t go back, and you can’t make me. They’re traitors. I won’t stay under the same roof with them. My father would haunt me all my life if I did.”

“Let us talk of this away from prying ears,” Rikash said, an eye on Daine.

“We can speak of it now. Daine can’t tell anyone. She’s stuck here, too!”

“Quiet!” ordered the Stormwing. “You’re a child. You do not understand what is taking place, and you must not speak of matters you cannot comprehend.”

Her sense of humor overpowering her hatred of Stormwings, Daine looked down so Rikash wouldn’t see her smile. Obviously he liked Maura, or he would have bullied rather than debated her. She also could see debate was useless. Maura had the bit between her teeth and would not obey orders. “Go on,” she urged the fuming immortal. “Shut her up. I never thought to see you stinkers balked by anyone, let alone a ten-year-old.”

Rikash turned red under his dirt, and a few of his own flock cackled. “It is hard for us to bear young,” he said, a hint of gritted teeth in his voice. “That being the case, we value others’ young, particularly when they are neglected. Affection has led me to indulge Lady Maura more than is wise.”

Maura sighed. “All right, Lord Rikash. I’ll hush. Only, I’m not coming back with you. You don’t have to tell them you saw me.”
