[Earlier that morning]

The distant sound of buzzing startled me awake, and I woke to find myself in a dark, cold room. Stretching, I looked out the window to see the first rays of light cast the dawn in a lazy, rosy glow. It’s beautiful here, out on the water, the scent of salt tickling my nose as I blinked the last of sleep from my eyes.

Daax had already snuck out to work with the deckhand crew for the dawn shift, leaving his side of the bed still warm and smelling deliciously like hi

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   084: Every Last Drop

    [Primus]“I’m sorry, Uncle, but I’m going to need to drain you to a point near death,” Kora explains as she sits me on one of the heated pads in a reclined chair in the Lament’s infirmary. “As much as your body can spare. We need three times the volume of fluid in order to make a power crystal large enough to power our mirror.” “We will do everything in our power to keep you alive,” Orion promises. “And if something goes wrong, Atremi is on standby to stabilize your condition. But Kora is right, we’re going to need every drop your body can spare.” In the corner of the room, Atremi sets down his trunk of “tools” right next to the communication mirror Ona brought in from her beachside home. The box, full of advanced Technician tech, was, according to Atremi, found inside an old Solarian ruin in the North, from the days of the Solarian Empire. It was in one of the many buried palaces hidden beneath the sands in the desert between the Capitol, Imperial City, and the Western Mountains.

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   083: An Unusual Source

    [Primus] My nephew, sweaty from sleep, deep circles of exhaustion ringing his once bright eyes, steps forward into the room on unstable feet. “I just need a communication mirror and an energy rod. One of the ones used to power a shuttle would be ideal but any small energy source would work–a giant blue crystal, for example.” Ona nods. “Your father and I came down in a shuttle, but it’s…on the other side of the continent,” she frowned. “The Lament has some, but if it’s compromised, we won’t be able to leave Vatra fast enough if we’re found. We can’t risk it. Is there another way?” “Perhaps,” Orion grunts in pain, closing his eyes as he squeezes his fists. Kora rushes forward to help him find a seat, but he shakes his head. “Do you have any synthesized energy cells running Vatra?” My sister frowns. “I’ve never needed them. This place runs on thermal heat and has gas lighting. I’ve never needed energy cells.” She sighs and then adds, “I have a mirror, but it’s been ages since I’ve

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   082: Wants and Needs

    [Orion] The sound of breaking glass is the first thing I hear when the preservation fluid drains from my ears as my body thrashes on the box that has been my prison for longer than I can remember. The lopsided shards pierce my flesh, slicing me open as it easily pierces my rot-marked skin. “He’s hurting himself,” my wife scrambles, trying to lift me herself. “Please…” Strong hands grasp me by the waist, lifting me off the surface as other hands hold my arms to my sides and my legs together. Tears as warm and salty as the sea kiss my face, and as I turn my head up to look at the source, I can barely make out my mate’s silhouette. “Kora,” I rasp, my lips burning as they tear. “My…” “Shh… My love,” she cries, her words shaky. “I’m here, and you’re safe. You’ll be well again soon. Hang in there, okay. Just a bit longer.” As I’m lowered onto a hard stone cot, its surface is surprisingly warm, soothing away my aches as the heat eases into my muscles. Sinking into it, my body slo

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   081: Awake

    [Primus] “Carnelia!” I scream repeatedly, my soul aching for her, as I fall. And then land with a crash, hard, firmly set within my body. “Car…arn…” I choke as I vomit half the sea onto a smooth, warm, wooden deck as a firm, but gentle hand pats my back, encouraging the rest of the water, kelp, and other foul things to release from my lungs. “Is he going to recover?” Ona’s familiar snarl demands. Slowly, my eyes open, and I find her standing between me and someone else, her silhouette casting a protective shadow over me. “You promised that…contraption would bring him back.” “It takes time,” My betrayer explains with his slippery words. “The technicians designed this device to resuscitate, not to repair. His body will still need to heal on its own.” “If you tell me to trust the process, I’ll flay you,” Ona curses, glaring at the two of them. “This is not what we agreed to, Atremi. Daughter, you and your mate need to show me results, real results, or so help me…” “Ona,” Daa

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   080: Connections

    [Primus] The air feels heavy as the Grand Magus’ words fall around us. My wife, my mate, Carnelia, has been lost to the void so completely that even her father, the greatest void walker in several generations, cannot reach her. “Then I’ll just have to go find her.” I declare firmly, determined to find a way even though it feels impossible. “I’m not going to let her stay out there. I’m bringing her home–no matter what I have to sacrifice.” And I mean it. I’d gladly give my life just to bring her home to her family. Our children need her. Our world needs her. I need her. Even if it cost me my soul, it would be worth it to hold her one more time. “How, Son?” Deklaan asks, open concern written across his face. “You can’t step into the void without support–you have neither the training nor innate skill. The only reason you can dream walk is the residual crystals I can sense in your blood,” the shadow drake informs me. “That’s why it’s so easy for your soul to leave your body. I

  • Redemption of The Dragon Prince   079: Light in the Dark

    [Primus]My heart is breaking. Carnelia. Every time I close my eyes, I try to touch her, try to reach her, but she’s too far away. I can hear her voice, calling out to me in her dreams but no matter how I stretch my heart across the void, I can’t reach her. She is lost to me. Roaring to life, my body bursts from within, spilling out, spreading, becoming something else. Boards snap in two, sending splinters in all directions as my body presses against it, my scales expanding, growing to like the cracks in my heart. What is the point of a world without her in it. I am lost without her. How can I go on without her scent, her taste, the warmth of her skin against mine…? Maybe it is time for me to give in and let go. No. I can’t do that. Not until everyone who has hurt her has paid for her pain. Facing the mainland, I target my anger at the entrance to the Moon Dragon’s underground lair in the far east where the mist obscures the eyes and minds of lesser dragons. Thalan is to blame

    [Ursa]It was torture, watching the queen as she bathed in the pain of my family, taking unique glee in making my brother’s mate suffer through the loss of a child. She doesn’t notice me watching her because to Eleanora I don’t exist anymore. For the queen, I must remain dead. And so I hide in the d

    [Primus] When the men dropped me off at the foot of my brother’s old fortress, they called the guards down with a high-pitched whistle so painful I wished I could cover my ears. Unfortunately, I couldn’t even move my hands. Whatever Atremi had drugged me with on the boat gave me the misfortune of b

Collared and shackled, we were transported to the shores of the Crystal Lake, to the center of the Kingdom’s eastern borders,
