Chapter 23
When I woke up, I was confused for a few minutes about where I was and what was happening. Everything looked weird. All the colors around me were so much brighter and the darkness had much more depth.
I didn’t understand. But there was an important mission that we came here for that needed my attention right now. I looked over where the snake had come out.
The blue flower was laying on it’s side on the ground but I cannot remember how it got separated from its stem. I picked it up gently. Calling out to my cub mate, I offered it excited to see the joy I brought to her face.
But then she reacted in the strangest of ways! I caught her as she fell and helped her gently to the ground. I didn’t know why she fell asleep. It had been a long day but that explanation did not feel right to me.

Once back at the cabin, I carried my cubmate inside first. I placed her on the bed next to the father monster. Gale was at her side, looking worried, in a matter of seconds.The prince I laid on the bear rug. It was the worst type of item in this cabin but it looked like the softest place. Gale hurried over to check on him.“I think your lady friend is going to be alright, Dragon Rider. She just had an awful fright.” I didn’t bother asking her how she knew but I trusted her medicine.She kneeled next to the prince. When she began examining him for the cause of his condition, she pulled back clothing to reveal the keeper’s bite. Gale looked up at me with those pretty bright blue eyes.“I hope you found the flower because w

We flew to the castle. But the closer we got, the darker it was. Trees were quickly losing leaves but it was the wrong season for that. The air was cold.“The keeper is drawing life out of everything within its reach. It has an unending hunger. The devastation will reach the next village by night fall if we don’t stop it now.” Saple rumbled.I didn’t need a reminder of how scary this was and knowledge like that didn’t seem helpful. But it came from my own dragon! I admired the wisdom that was now available to me and am grateful for the wonderful company.“Does the keeper have power over the skies?” I asked.As we approached the castle, the sky grew overcast with dark grey clouds. They were unusual. While the clouds were heavy and

We attacked with dragon fire again and again until I completely lost track of time. Saple and I had two sets of senses to rely on. We each had our own thoughts to process and evaluate the fight and we were able to understand each other without having to take the time to express it.It made us quicker.“Your years hiding in the shadows and avoiding humans has kept you sharp and alert, little one.” Saple complimented me. We had pulled back to regroup again and were considering how much work there was to do.As the keeper shrunk, it got faster. Together we were still twice as fast as the creature. But at this rate, we were going to need to fight all night and I could already feel the fatigue weighing on Saple.“You would b

A strange mewling noise caught her attention. She swallowed back her tears as she turned towards the noise. The dragon was lamenting the loss of Roger. It was the most miserable and saddest thing she had ever seen or heard.Suddenly, Saple’s eyes glowed bright red. He roared, as he let go of a stream of fire into the air, and magic crackled like lightning around them. The storm clouds built quickly around Saple and Roger but this time they engulfed the entire area, leaving Veronica stumbling around in a purple fog.She wasn’t sure what she was seeing between the darkness and the limited sight of the grainy fog. But the dragon was nuzzling Roger. Saple seemed to be glowing and shrinking as he poured himself into whatever spell and emotions he was experiencing.Veronica stood frozen in

Veronica walked into the forest and hit a tree with a bare fist. She wanted to cry. Despite being alone without anyone to impress, her tears would not come. Maybe she had already cried them all. She was so confused about her relationship with Prince Vaugn, while she appreciated the simplicity of her relationship with Roger. She had learned to love Roger completely. But there wasn’t the same attraction to him as there was with the prince and there were other emotions that she didn’t quite understand. It seemed like those emotions were what fueled the confusion. She remembered how Prince Vaugn had promised to listen to her and take her advice when it came to leading his country. It was a beautiful dream he had taken away. While she did not feel the same passion for it, the journey ahead with Ro

If you enjoyed this book, check out my other ones available here on GoodNovel. I look forward to providing your future entertainment! At the time that I am finishing this book, I am currently finishing Full Moon Wedding. Here is a little sneak peak: An opened portal revealed a giant slimy abomination. It was twice the height of a man with several flaps of scales around a giant slobbery mouth and rows of giant unrelenting, gnashing teeth. The leathery weather worn skin was wrapped tautly around it, as if it was too big for it’s own skin. It lurched angrily forward from a dark red world of fire. The mysterious portal revealed the other side like an open door. A world of brimstone and lava. There was no place like it in this world. The ground shook. The hulking mass of disgust slithered into the room. It’
The Creature In The Walls Chapter One
A scurrying through the walls made Veronica jump. It was dark with just the single candle lighting the expansive halls in front of her. Her heart tried to beat through the wall of her chest, as she stood still peering into the darkness beyond her light. Her fear almost made Veronica regret getting out of bed in the first place. But she would not let her imagination or some mouse keep her from getting something to eat. She had awoken hungry from her dreams. It was still the middle of the night, but surely there was something she could snack on in the kitchen. Veronica began walking again, at a faster pace than before. Yes, she told herself it was just a mouse she had heard. But her father’s voice spoke up in her mind, ‘There are creatures in the walls that get little girls who wander this castle at night.’ She sho
The Creature In The Walls Chapter Two
I have lived in the walls of this giant prison ever since I was able to escape the Ogre that used to beat me every day. I was with the Ogre since before I could remember. As I ran from him, I heard his monstrous threats but I was faster than him. I dared not return for he would hit me again. When I escaped, I found the openings in the walls. But I could not get outside, so I hide there. In the walls, it was dark. But the dark comforted me, especially when I am upset. There are passageways through the walls. Some of them aren’t good for being tall. I remember a couple times when I first started living in the walls that I bumped my head. But now, I have learned to live downward. My legs and back are always bent. My hands constantly rest on the floor. Sometimes my hands help me move faster. I remind myse
