explain it either.”
Furee had already lost
interest in the conversation because Riva was waking. He laid her gently on
the now empty bed and did his best to make his power release her, completely
calling back his fire. It wasn’t easy. It seemed the more he touched her, the
more his soul cried out for her and his flame followed right behind.
She opened her eyes and smiled
at him, he was sure lightening his soul further. That was w hen the attack started.
CHAPTER SIX
General Solan Fire-Eater
crossed into Kinkaid land with his wind talker mage mate riding his back. She
preferred to travel that way. He preferred to hold her safe in his arms when
they flew, or really any time for that matter, but like in most things, his
delicate mate with her soft titian hair and even softer skin had just given him
a single look out of grass-green eyes when he suggested it and he knew she
would have her way. There were few things he would not give his mate when she
looked at him with such soft eyes.
Hurry, I don’t think
Stevart made it through. He felt Melly’s worry for the young
dragon he had sent flying off with the warnings of impending attacks, but when
the boy had not returned and Melly heard tales on the wind of battles fought
and more to come, she had finally insisted despite his need to keep her safe
that they would have to go personally to Isolation. He had refused but agreed
to take her to Forsaken where she would be safe with her sister on Kinkaid land
while he went to Isolation. If he could not keep her by his side deep in his
own fortress beyond the Lake of Tears and beside the Great Ocean, then Forsaken
would have to do. Melly would have argued that they had no time, but where her
safety was concerned even her soft eyes would not sway him.
Have you heard word of
young Silver on the wind? His own thoughts were much calmer
then hers but laced with an iron determination to see the boy safe. Though
perhaps it was erroneous to call the dragon male a boy. He was over three
hundred and had achieved his second molt. Not to mention he was in training to
become a knight of the Light and all the strength and deadliness that implied.
Still, he was small for a dragon, built along slender lines almost unheard of
in dragon-kind.. He moved quicksilver fast and Solan had seen few who could
match him with either the bow or any kind of race whether on feet or wings, which
was why he was with them at Ocean End and acting as their messenger. Because
he also had the silver hair and blue eyes of the House of Air, the other
knights had taken to calling him Quicksilver. His brother, Icarus, older by a
few thousand years, had shortened it to Silver. Flying fast in his silver
dragon form, he was nothing more than a smear across the landscape so the name
had stuck. Melisande and the Ladies of House of Fire and Water were the only
ones besides his mother who young Silver allowed to use his given name.
Not of Stevart, but
Icarus and Datulos fly to House of Air. If Stevart was there when the battle
happened he may be among the injured.
Do not make trouble when
we have so much already. If Stevart was in danger, I am sure your vision would
have warned you. It may be that his father is more hurt than we know. He
would not leave his side unprotected. He could not if the rest of the family
was also in need of aid.
He felt more than heard
the relief in his mate’s mind. That’s probably what happened. I am sure no
one is fatally wounded but I cannot help but wish I could have done more . . . And
I fear the worst is yet to come.
Furee will protect Riva,
you have seen that yourself.
But at what cost? The
words in his head were soft and he doubted she knew he heard them, but since he
had no answer, he kept his own council and turned in to find the doors of
Forsaken wide open, and the balconies outside the war room revealing other
guests had already arrived.
