To him, these eggs are not to claim,

But sacred birth, not bought by name.

He wages war with truth and wing,

To end the theft, to break the king.

Skylar

The answer to my problem of getting to King Emmanuel's castle came the following day.

“Skylar, now that King Emmanuel has an egg, I need to go hunt for my own. Please make yourself at home here in the castle. You’re welcome to anything. You will be queen here in a few short months. I’ve ordered the staff to follow all your directions and to help

Where do you think they're taking her?

  • The Dragon Thief   Chapter 50: Attack

    With Bynjym bound in soul and scale,He guards the flight, he guards the tale.He fights the lords who steal with might,And shields the eggs through storm and night.SkylarI seem to have no problem sleeping in Ryuki’s arms. Considering I’ve gone nearly eighteen years without sleeping in a man’s arms, it’s surprising how comfortable I feel in his.When Bynjym lifts into the sky, taking us back to the thunder, I refuse to let myself feel terrified. I am a dragon rider, a queen’s rider. I will not flinch when it feels like gravity is trying to suck my stomach out of my body, nor will I get dizzy when the world below me becomes so small that it looks like an ant farm.‘Someday, you’ll equate these feelings with riding on my back. They will not only be familiar, but welcome,’ Cyryl says.‘I look forward to that day, my dragon.’When we get back to the thunder, I can feel the envious looks aimed my way. I’m not sure if the envy is toward Ryuki because he spent a night alone with me, or tow

  • The Dragon Thief   Chapter 49: A Night Together

    Ryuki, forged in flight and flame,Would die before he brought them shame.Their hearts entwine like roots of old,In love unbought, in legends bold.RyukiI’m thrilled that Skylar seems to understand her role as the queen’s rider. I’m even more excited that she's asking us to be by their side as they take on their role.‘Yes, our queens seem to have taken a liking to us,’ Bynjym says, as he resumes feeding Cyryl.“It’s late, Skylar. Did you want to return to the thunder and stay with the others tonight, or would you like to stay the night here on the beach?” I ask.She turns and looks at the waves gently lapping against the shore. Bynjym and I have slept here more times than I can count. It’s very peaceful.“Is it safe?”‘Nothing will harm my queens,’ Bynjym says.Cyryl begins clicking happily at Bynjym. He leans down and gently rubs his nose against her face. The clicking sound increases, then Skylar turns back to me.“I guess we’re sleeping here,” she says, smiling. “Does it get col

  • The Dragon Thief   Chapter 48: Acceptance

    So choose your side and guard your breath, For truth rides close on wings of death. A crown may fall, a world may change, When love and fire rearrange. SkylarI’m not sure what it was that finally made me realize that I will never be able to convince my father or Kenneth to stop hunting the dragons, but in that moment, I finally realized what it meant to be Cyryl’s rider.‘Now you understand,’ Cyryl says to me across the beach.‘Yes. I have to choose a side. There is no way to bridge this gap. There is no other way than war.’Even as I say it, I know that it means the death of people that I have loved, people who are or were my family. But I cannot turn a blind eye to what they are doing. The only way for us to win is for Cyryl and me to grow stronger together. We will become the leaders of our thunder. We will be the ones who strengthen the dragons and bring them to the forefront of the war. We will not longer be on the defensive. Once Cyryl is an adult, we will go on the offensiv

  • The Dragon Thief   Chapter 47: My Dragons

    For love is fierce when bonds run deep,And dragon hearts no cage can keep.Let kingdoms fall and empires break, The Dragon Thief will rise, awake.Ryuki‘Feeling smug, are we?’ Bynjym asks me.‘Says the dragon who is currently wrapped around his queen,’ I retort.'I’d say my plan worked.’‘YOUR plan? What plan was that?’ I ask.‘The one where I feigned being asleep so Skylar was forced to have you go into the water with her to ‘keep her safe’,’ he snickers. We both know Bynjym would never let anything happen to Skylar. She’s our queen’s rider. Next to Cyryl, she’s the most important being in the thunder.‘Some would argue that Skylar is the most important being in the thunder,’ he says.‘Explain,’ I say, turning to look at my dragon who is still lying on the beach in the sun.After making her come, Skylar fell asleep in my arms. Since she seems comfortable, I decided to stay in the water and I'm slowly swaying as I walk around to help her stay asleep.‘Without Skylar, Cyryl will peri

  • The Dragon Thief   Chapter 46: When You're Ready

    Ryuki waits with sword and flame,To stand beside her and stake his claim.Together now, the fire burns,The tide will shift; the balance turns.SklyarFor some reason, when Ryuki says I’m special, I feel special. He believes in me more than anyone ever has. My father appreciated that I was a good daughter and that I acted like a royal princess, knowing my place and accepting my role in life.Kenneth appreciated that I was an attractive, well put together princess who would make him look good, quietly accept her role in life, and have his heirs with no muss or fuss.Ryuki sees me for the woman I am. He doesn’t care that I’m a royal. He doesn’t care that I’m proper in all the ways that have always mattered in my life. He accepts that I am who I am.I’ve suddenly realized that I want more than the life I was expected to accept. I want to live my own life. I want to live free, free to be a dragon rider or kiss a man I barely know but who seems to understand me better than the people who h

  • The Dragon Thief   Chapter 45: Bathing

    So Skylar walks the blade’s thin edge,A vow upon the mountain ledge.She’ll steal the eggs, she’ll bear the cost,She’ll right the wrongs her kin have lost.RyukiAs I watch Skylar struggling with the idea of getting naked in front of me, I reach out to Bynjym.‘Why aren’t you reassuring her that you’ll watch out for her?’‘Because then she might not swim with you. Besides, I have my queen right where I want her. It’s time for you to get your queen right where you want her,’ he says.‘Cyryl would not appreciate that,’ I tell him.‘Cyryl wore herself out and is sleeping soundly, which is why I know that Skylar is having quite amorous feelings about you.’‘She is?’ I ask.‘Yes. She’s nervous, but she’s very attracted to you. She’s thinks you’re very muscular and …’He snickers. ‘Large.’Large? I’m pretty standard when it comes to the height of males. Maybe I’m a bit tall at six feet, but I’m not so large that she would be taking notice.‘Not your height, idiot, your manhood.’My … I loo

    But in her gaze, a storm of stars,A sorrow deep as dragon scars.She sheds the mask, the truth she speaks,Of hidden days and stolen weeks.SkylarI have no idea what just came over me. I kissed Ryuki. I kissed him and my entire body responded.That never happened with Kenneth. My body didn’t respo
