He saw the dragon rear back in confusion as Annwyl slowly opened her eyes and looked around Sheher to the next world Instead her eyes focused on a startled and a little bit disturbed Brastias

She grinned and wiggled her eyebrows at hi around and looked at the dragon

"Did you on looked as if he were about to answer, but he never got the chance Fearghus swooped down and snatched hiht behind him

Brastias threw himself back into the fray, but not before he heard Annwyl address Lorcan "I guess it’s just us then Eh, brother?"

Lorcan ss had turned in his favor He knew he couldn’t battle Hefaidd-Hen on his own He’d killed dragons before But Hefaidd-Hen wasn’t just a dragon He was so completely different Unnatural Unholy Evil But with Hefaidd-Hen off battling his own kind, Lorcan could finally do what he’d wanted to do since the day the little bitch became part of his life

He would kill his only sister

Lorcan brought his blade up and charged

Annwyl dodged the blade, slicing her brother’s back as he passed her But the blade barely touched hiain

"You’ve becoon teach you that before he pushed you to your knees?"

The siblings shadowed each other Moving slowly, purposely Waiting for the other to make the nextHe was baiting her And it would have workeda feeeks ago

"He taught h I think it is you that has becoon Did Hefaidd-Hen rowl, but quickly it becaht thrust to her belly Annwyl parried with one blade and slashed his midsection with the other She danced back away fro froht But Lorcan’s shock went to the fact that few ever ca hie exploded out, surrounding her She knew she should be scared Or angry She felt neither His anger caled to her, while he drowned in his own rage

She stayed on the defensive, letting hi at her neck She blocked the blade and slahted hih, and brutally backhanded Annwyl Her body flew several feet before landing Yet her dragon had hit her like that before while training, so she barely felt Lorcan’s fist She scra Fearghus, Lorcan’s moves seeon Suddenly she couldn’t understand what she’d so greatly feared all these years Hell, she’d faced Bercelak the Great and almost destroyed hie?

She found herself getting cal before he ever h his body He wanted her dead so badly his attacks becaed to her

Fearghus took Hefaidd-Hen up toward the suns, his talons digging into the soft white underbelly He no longer had the protective scales of their breed

What did this dragon do to himself?

Hefaidd-Hen spat out a spell and an alhus’s body A pain that caave parts of hiick that Hefaidd-Hen now used on hio after Annwyl again He couldn’t risk that So he kept his claws dug deep into Hefaidd-Hen’s flesh and held on

Another wave of pain tore through Fearghus’s body He roared But his roar could never match Hefaidd-Hen’s brutal scream He opened his eyes to see that Morfyd had attached herself to Hefaidd-Hen’s back Her claws dug in deep to the white flesh as she spoke a spell that set the beast on fire And without scales, he had no protection frohus! Now!"

Fearghus dug his claws deeper into Hefaidd-Hen’s lower body and opened him up from bowel to throat

Hefaidd-Hen screahus and Morfyd released his body The unnatural beast plu to keep his entrails in and put out the fire that covered hi forlanced at his sister "That was a bit"I like to be certain"

Annwyl saw an opening and took it She lunged and thrust her blade into his thigh Lorcan roared in pain and slapped her across the face, his gauntleted hand opening a slash across her cheek She went down on her belly and he straddled her froe had hiht he’d use his bare hands to kill her She only had seconds before she blacked out She pulled her dagger fro, he stu up before Lorcan could recover, Annwyl turned and saw her brother’s hand over his face, blood pouring froers She’d slashed hiive hiain, shehis bleeding eye Her father always taught her that if one destroys athat, she slashed the tendons on the back of Lorcan’s ankles She ignored his screa that he couldn’t walk or run, she kicked hiround
