Sarah sat before the fire in camp, stirring her cauldron. Elu tended to the fire. Apollo carved arrows. Things had been quiet since the dragon flew away.
A small star appeared, expanding to reveal a tiny fairy with blue skin and butterfly wings.
"Bluebonnet," said Sarah. "Welcome back. Zebulun has returned?"
"Yes. Davion and Quinn are with him."
"Good," said Sarah. "I had hoped they would return before dragons do."
"They have a dragon with them."
Elu and Apollo exchanged a glance. Sarah looked up at Bluebonnet with narrowed eyes. "A dragon?"
"An old one. His scales are black. They call him Amalek."
"He travels with them?" asked Sarah.
"Yes. They found him on a mountain in the far west. He agreed to help Zebulun. He teaches Quinn sorcery."
Sarah cast her eyes downward for a moment, thinking. She raised her head to look at Elu, then Apollo, then off to the west. "I hope Zebulun knows what he’s doing."
