THE WATCHER

Kalec’s view shifted again. Ahead of the five, Talonixa and her gathered host hovered in the air. He realized that they were already setting out to find Galakrond. Several of the other proto-dragons noted the small band’s arrival, which in turn alerted Talonixa.

She soared toward the five, her attendants flanking her. As Talonixa confronted Ysera and her companions, the attendants spread out in obvious battle formation. Malygos and the others instinctively did the same, even against the greater odds.

“These can join the hunt,” Talonixa decreed. “You, runt, will not.”

“I will come with!” Ysera insisted.

“Why? Talk to Galakrond? Make a tiny bite for him!”

Recalling Coros—whose fate Malygos had still not yet told to Talonixa—the icy-blue male shuddered. Kalec shared his unease and wished that Malygos would quickly tell everyone in the hopes that perhaps it would deter them from this mad attack. However, his host didn’t speak, at the moment only concerned with the safety of his friends and not thinking of the potential repercussions of saying nothing.

“Will not go,” Alexstrasza said. “Will stay with my sister.”

“I stay also,” Nozdormu briefly added.

Neltharion momentarily looked frustrated, his natural tendency being to go wherever a fight could be promised. Still, he grudgingly nodded his agreement with the other two.

Malygos added his voice to his friends’, not that Talonixa seemed to care at that point. She started to turn from the five. Only then did Kalec’s host finally recall what he should have told everyone at the first chance. “Wait! Must speak of Coros!”

A suspicious Talonixa looked back. “Coros?”

As best he could, Malygos quickly related to her and the rest the fate of the treacherous proto-dragon, leaving out only those details where his own struggle with the infection from the undead’s bite were concerned. The far simpler language of his host frustrated Kalec, who knew that he could have explained much more clearly, but the essence of what Malygos sought to tell was evidently understood by Talonixa and the others.

But rather than be daunted by the savage tale, the imposing female simply sneered. “Coros fool . . . but gives us victory!” She peered at her loyal but confused followers. “Galakrond knows where we are, where we go! We fool him! We attack before! We attack in different place!”

“Not good,” Nozdormu muttered, his words going unheard by the increasingly confident Talonixa.

“Must strike now!” She spun from Malygos again. “Come! We attack!”

The gathered proto-dragons left the five behind.

Neltharion fluttered back and forth, obviously desiring to be a part of the coming battle but in the end choosing his comrades over his desires. Still, he could not help expressing himself. “Why we not fight? Not like Talonixa, but we fight our way! We fight our own plan—”

“And die as stupidly as they,” Nozdormu, proving quite talkative this day, interrupted calmly.

“There must be peace.”

Even Alexstrasza eyed her sister with something close to exasperation. “Ysera—”

Without warning, the smaller female darted off. There was no doubt about her intentions. She still hoped to change the course of events, however mad that seemed to both Kalec and his host.
