As promised, Liam came by early in the morning. He knocked at the door and my dad answered and led him in to sit in the living room. I don’t know what the conversation was, but my dad would ask 20 questions and give him a hard time.

I dashed to get ready, throwing my hair in a bun, putting on a sweatshirt, and wearing leggings. I slip on my tennis shoes. Liam looks very unconformable as I enter the front room after rushing down the stairs. I giggle and he looks up at me and he smiles. God, his smile makes me melt. Ari was purring in satisfaction.

I finally tore my eyes away from Liam and gave a smile to my dad, “Good morning Dad, “I said sweetly. He was still scowling at Liam while saying, “Good morning, princes” without taking his eyes off Liam.

I kissed his cheek, which brought his attention to me.

“Dad, I see you have met my friend Liam. “I responded matter-factly. Liam smiled as he turned to me.

“Yes, I was getting to know him, he said.

“He came by because we need to talk to you an

  • The Dragon Slayer's Queen    51

    They had truly lost the twins, one hundred and seventy-three paces from the Sanctuary doors. It took Jenifer a stark thirty seconds to grasp the gravity of the situation. By then, their group had splintered, and the only thing echoing back at her was Zayla’s voice, swallowed by the dark. Sanctuary was supposed to be a place of refuge, a fortress against the unknown, but now it felt alive, twisting and turning with its own sinister agenda.They triggered alarms that seemed to come from nowhere, wandered through corridors that coiled back on themselves like treacherous serpents, and when Jenifer turned to grasp Amanda’s hand, she found only a chill and a wisp of ozone in its place. Their only guidance was the black-glass torches, flickering in alternating stripes of violet and blue. And the distant sound of Liam, breathing with a ferocity hinting at his desperate fight for survival.“Don’t panic,” he growled, reverberating off the frost-rimmed stone walls. Jenifer bit her lip, realizing

  • The Dragon Slayer's Queen    50

    The trail through the Dragonspine was treacherous, filled with broken bones and black ice. With every fourth step, Zayla braced herself for seeing a corpse or a trap. Below their ledge, the river wept with cold, white spray, while the mountain’s shadow writhed, swallowing the sun long before nightfall. For a day and a half, they had been climbing, following Jenifer’s map, with hunger and doubt gnawing at everything that wasn’t muscle, scale, or raw, frantic will.On the third evening, the wind finally died down. The world felt razor-thin—one stray gust could send them all tumbling. At the lip of a crumbling bridge, Bella paused, blue scales surfacing on her cheekbones. “I don’t like this,” she hissed, her voice hollow from the strain. “It’s too quiet.”Behind them, Alex limped, while Amanda kept casting nervous glances at the ravine. The Queen—her hair now mottled with frost and hands trembling even when she thought no one was watching—pressed on, forcing the pace. Only Liam seemed at

  • The Dragon Slayer's Queen    49

    The palace has a way of swallowing sound. Every footstep, every breath, every nervous shuffle of the royal guard is lost beneath the oppressive hush of black marble and ancient secrets. The court has melted away; only the condemned, the executioner, and the specter of a mother remain. Zayla feels the chill of the corridor in her bones. Her wrists are ringed red where the silver cords burned her, a reminder that even inside the walls of her inheritance, she is a threat to be managed. Beside her, Bella’s jaw is set in a line that could cut glass. The only thing that betrays her twin’s calm is how her pupils flare, tiny blue infernos as they pass each mounted torch. She’s angry, yes, but also afraid. Behind them, the rest of the survivors limp forward. Jenifer moves with her usual feline grace, but her left arm is clamped tight against her ribs, the wound from the battle still seeping through a makeshift bandage. Alex stays close, supporting Jenifer when the pain spikes, not saying

    s we ventured deeper into the elder’s house, the atmosphere thickened with anticipation. The elders had spoken of confronting the past, but I could feel something more sinister lurking in the shadows. The air grew colder, and the flickering candlelight cast eerie shapes on the walls, as if the very spirits of our ancestors were watching us. We entered a dimly lit chamber adorned with ancient tapestries depicting forgotten battles. In the center stood an ornate pedestal, upon which rested a weathered tome bound in dragonhide. The elder gestured for us to approach, her expression grave. “This book holds the key to your lineage and the truth of the shadows that haunt you.” As I reached for the tome, a sudden rush of energy surged through me, and I felt Ari stir within. “Be careful, Zayla,” she warned, her voice echoing in my mind. “Not all knowledge is meant to be uncovered.” Ignoring the warning, I opened the book, and the pages began to turn on their own, revealing illustrations o

    The journey to the elder's village unfolded in silence, each of us caught in the web of our own thoughts, the echoes of the recent battle lingering in the cool, crisp air. It felt surreal, stepping away from the chaos of conflict and into the serene embrace of nature. The village lay nestled within a lush valley, framed by majestic mountains that stood like guardians against a turbulent world.As we approached, the elders emerged from their humble huts, their expressions blending curiosity and concern. Time had etched its wisdom onto their faces, each line a testament to battles fought and lessons learned. Their dragon forms were breathtaking, scales sparkling in the sunlight, a vivid reminder of their ancient power.The eldest among them, a grand dragon with scales as white as freshly fallen snow, stepped forward. His piercing blue eyes seemed to look right through me as he spoke with a voice that resonated like thunder, “Welcome, travelers. We have been expecting you.”Taking a deep
