“Are you sure Zekiel?” Aries asked looking back up the mountain. It was a long hard fight with the demon army over the past few months. Pushing them back across the land and farther south. A few other dragons had chosen to wake but the rest still wished to slumber. They were not interested in being awake when there were no mates known to be left. Or even where they were. None were sure now even were the mated dragons might be through the portals it was that long ago.
‘Yes.’ Came his deep voice. Aries stood out on a terrace that put him level with the dragon’s face. ‘We will remove the rocks and I will go through. He needs to be found Aries, and I want to do it. I want to see him dead for all he’s done. So do others including you. Velex will be found and he will be dealt w

Sybil pushed some of the brown and copper strands out of her face and behind her ear as she worked. The ponytail wasn’t really doing its job anymore. She’d been working so many hours now that she didn’t realize how poorly it was holding her hair back. However she didn’t have any help right now, it was just her. Either lucky or unlucky enough to be immune to the sickness that was spreading through her town. “Where is it!” She snapped narrowing her aqua colored eyes. She spotted the black jar that she wanted in her pantry and nabbed it, nearly spilling a couple other jars. She quickly went back over to the stove and in the pot there she measured out several teaspoons of the yellow powder. The thin liquid in the simmering pot instantly turned blue, and she sighed a relief happy that it worked.
Sybil turned to go down the hall and went several steps before nearly running into a wall. She stopped looking up, and felt the color drain from her face. Good lord up close she felt even smaller. How tall was this man? Like seven foot had to be a good two sixty pounds of muscle. “Ms. Temes?” He said and his voice was deep kind of gruff, but pleasant enough. He had dark blonde hair and amber colored eyes. The other was the same height as him close to six six, well that was her guess. Look she was on the taller side for a woman, just short of six foot but they made her feel short. “Yes?” She said trying to keep the tremble out of her voice. What did he want with her and who told them her name? They were both rather good looking. The one that hadn’t spoken had a
Sybil had to blink in the very low blue light here. The orbs in the cavern floated near the ceiling and it was rather dim. But that was more than the guardians needed. They had damn good eyesight from what she heard. She shivered slightly. Walking through the portal kind of felt like pushing through water. There was no one in the tunnel and she was happy about that. Confrontation wasn’t what she wanted. She tried to avoid it. Didn’t mean she couldn’t hold her own. She just preferred the quiet approach. Hence why she didn’t tell Kal that she was going to go by herself. She was sure he’d have kept an eye on her. Tried to stop her and she was going to go. Better if she just nodded and left than anything else. As she got closer to the mouth of the cave it definitely dropped in temp. She zippe
First thing Sybil was aware of was smell. Like fresh rain and she really liked it. Her brain wasn’t waking up for her to really be completely aware of things yet. Just that where she was, was warm. That smell was stronger and she was laying on something soft. There were voices, one in particular seemed strong and confident, gave orders. She felt the chills in her body again, and sluggish. A few times she thought something was pressed to her mouth. She was made to drink, she was moved somewhere or to something too. But never lucid that she could actually recall doing anything. It happened rather suddenly in her opinion, she woke up and sat straight up. She felt confused, her head spun. Sybil didn’t know what kind of room this was. How’d she get here? She remembered being carried, her bag where was her bag? She twisted around leaning forward like she might get up, she al
“Miss you need to eat, and stay in bed.” Morris commented looking confused as to why she’d even try and get up. Aries was barely gone and she was ready to stand up and go. “I can do that once I get my cure worked on. It’s important, people are dying.” She swung her legs to the side of the bed and fought the dizzy spell that came to her. He set the tray of food next to her and looked like he was going to shake his head at her but refrained. “You haven’t eaten anything really since you came here. At least eat before you attempt anything. You need the strength.” He told her kindly and pointed to the food. “If you don’t mind me saying so, right now you look like you’ll fall over where you stand.” She pursed her lips and looked at the food. Which her stomach did indeed cramp slightly clearly starving. “Food migh
Sybil was rather quiet as she followed Morris down a flight of stairs and then a large corridor. She had to say that for being built into the side of a mountain, this place was rather open and airy. She noted that it looked like a honeycomb. With large gathering rooms, and whole areas that looked like apartments or something. Morris said that they were large and families lived here. They had a number of rooms to call their own, which was just like owning a house outside.It was clear that each level was designated for something, but she didn’t get to see much of that. She wasn’t even sure what level she had been on. But where he took her she got the feeling that this was where the schooling happened. She saw a number of younger children through one door. Perhaps ten and then farther down older children, no more than twelve of them.
“Something wrong?” Daral asked and Aries frowned, no but yes. He felt something tug at his insides for a moment rather sharply. Instinct telling him something was off, that he should be paying attention. He inhaled but normal smells came to him. He came down from the step and turned looking toward the left and the tree line there. He frowned and stepped forward searching it slowly, he also looked at the ground and untouched snow. “I don’t know, I feel something. Just an odd feeling.” He told Daral who also looked out at the tree line. Something in him instantly thought of Sybil. He looked up at Daral. He could feel her close by he realized, very close and seeing she was the mate chosen for him that wasn’t a shock. However it shouldn’t be that close, and they had just met. So there wasn’t a deeper connection, seeing she was human. So she definitely had to be near him if that set off his radar. He let out a
Sybil drove her car rather fast back home. She had a feeling that she wasn’t going to have much time until someone showed or realized she was gone. She was transparent now as the potion wore off. She was glad that it was late so she didn’t run into anyone and they freaked out thinking she was a ghost.Nearly running into her apartment she dropped her bag. Sybil shoved all the dishes out of the way and they crashed into the sink. She then started to grab clean ones and got things prepped. It was time to work and she set to heating water and various other liquids that she was going to need. Now she had enough to make for everyone in the hospital. How good she felt that she was going to help them all. Her father was not going to succumb to this sickness.“Alright, I can do this.” She said with a nod making sure her hair was held back.
