Chapter 68
After calming myself I sit down and try and summon my magic to me Allister takes off after a fly or some kind of bug. While I sit I hear roaring from above. Looking up through the trees I see Rhett. “you look a little lost little wolf” “shut up and help me out where do I go?” over the next few hours he directs me to the small town. He lands the same way he did back at the pack only this time his clothes land on me first. Tossing them at him I glare when I notice in the bundle a dress. Shaking my head I start to head to town. “princess please don’t make this hard on me the women here all wear them I get you to wear trousers in your time but please just fit in for once.” he grumbles at me. Signing I submit to his reasoning and change to the stupid dress.
Walking into town I stiffen at the sickly sweet smell of rot. Rogues. Looked around assessing the situation. Mostly human the scent is not too thick so maybe old or just one or two. No panic in the streets so not feral. Calming down as I have learned not all rogues are bad but not all are good either. Following the directions, Rhett was smart enough to get after I took off. Finding the little hut at the edge of town before I could open the gate the door to the hut opened. “come on in dear we haven't got all day now do we but please leave your beast outside.” glaring at the old woman “I will not be leaving Allister outside” I growl out placing a protective hand on Allister. “I said your beast, not your familiar dear child you do have a lot to learn.” leaning down Rhett whispers in my ear “the witches don’t like our dragons I will be in hearing range.” then kisses my neck and backs away growling at the old women I walk down the path to the door.
Walking in the tiny hut looks a lot bigger than magic probably. “what has a mutt like you seeking my council” the older than dust old woman asks in a voice much stronger than her body looks. Her gray hair sticking up and out all over the place like little wires. Her eyes were almost white showing her age not that the sagging wrinkly skin didn’t. so not to be stuck here any longer than I needed I spilled everything I remembered from the vision. Only to have her tell me the answer is in me and she couldn’t help. My heart will know what to do at the right moment. Then she shocked me when she told me I was not here for my vision but to learn how to summon hell fire. As I am going to need it at some point.
For three hours she made me call on hellfire, not an easy task as my fire seems to come from the sun and not the nether realm. Well okay, it's not the nether realm it's a deep lava pit where dragons its said dragons are born. I am learning a lot of our stories are true. Why I need to know how to summon hellfire is beyond me as I have never seen or heard of a need for it. Instead, I needed to know it for the future for us all and that is all she was willing to tell me.
Finally, she said I was decent enough to use it when I needed it and said I needed to practice more now that the barrier is closed my magic will fade some. Explaining why it was harder to use magic before I was trapped here. Leaving the hut I find Rhett sitting near a tree looking all sorts of grumpy and sexy all in one. “stop staring and come here little wolf” his husky voice enters my head as a smirk creeps on his face. Rolling my eyes I head down to him. “you like him a lot” Allister said in our link. I made myself open to Allister completely nothing will ever be hidden from us. I glanced down at him and nodded.
“well, how did it go little wolf get the answers you needed?” “no, she said the answer is in me blah blah blah then she made me learn to summon hellfire for some stupid reason. Said I will need it sooner or later but for what huh? I have never read or seen a reason for hell fire so what is it for huh?” so annoyed at the old witch now that I am out of her hut. Somehow she had damped my temper while in there. Great even a witch I never met before knows I have a temper. “well when we have an heir you will need hell fire if its a dragon but why would a witch want you to know that. My mother would have helped with such things should we have a dragon also there is a whole medical center under the far mountain range run by an earth dragon. I'll have to ask mother and father if there is another reason for hell fire.” he tells me as we head for a clearing stopping me in my tracks “egg?” he had not seen I stopped so he kept walking “ya if its a dragon you birth an egg after some time then the egg sits in hell fire for two years before the hatch day. That’s why dragons have two known beginning dates we have a birthday and a hatch day. Also how Mia is two years older than I yet I am the clan heir.” noticed that I had stopped walking a little bit ago and turned to me. “what?” I cry in horror “I am gonna lay an egg I am not a fucking bird no no no find a new mate I’m out nice knowing you.” throwing my hands in the air turn and start walking blindly. “does not work like that dear you are marked and since you made it clear your other mate is male that means you are the only female that can bare my offspring. The egg is no bigger than a normal baby from what I am told but the part you should worry about is for the first two months dragons look like your little drake there only bigger.”
“What?”
