Daryn took a deep breath. Those were some things he had to deal with. "Well, I am practically an immortal and I don't know how things will unfold. Maybe we will change our place of living. But father had stayed here for long. So I don't know what his secret is." He didn't say that most neotides lived for no more than two hundred years. The thought was frightening. He shuddered. Dawn leaned back against him and gripped him hard. 'Why are you feeling nervous?' she asked mentally. 'Isn't it wonderful? We…-

The portal behind them closed and the remnants of dust settled around them. Daryn hopped off his horse and sprinted to where Quetz was. He had watched him stagger out of the portal, padding over the thick grass beneath them and then coming to a stop. Quetz's eyes were droopy and over him lying unconscious was Dawn. Her hands flailed on the sides, as she lay unconscious over her dragon. Quetz walked carefully and very slowly. He appeared sluggish than usual. As soon as Daryn came near him, he crouched as…

Dawn went and leaned against the smooth rock on the opposite side. Her hair was sticking to her neck and forehead and she was sweating profusely. Daryn ran to her and wrapped his arms around her. The prophecy was definitely something related to his wife. "Shushhh…" he tried to pacify her. "Shushhh…" He could feel her anxiety and it made his wolf miserable. When Dawn settled a little, she rasped, "I want to get out of here." "Yes." He held her hand and guided her out of the ravine. Quetz was…

Seeing the blood, Dawn dashed at him with full speed. Daryn pressed his hand on his arm but the blood trickled out. "I asked you not to run," Dawn scolded him and stopped. Her heart became restless. There was nothing around to stop the blood, so she picked up a fistful of dust and applied it on his wound. "Don't worry so much, Dawn. The wound will heal up soon." More arrows were shot and Daryn pulled her close to him. "How do we stop them?" On a quick thought, she put her hands up in the air and…

'Where do you think we are going to start from?' asked Dawn. 'If we knew where to look for it, we could have won the battle easily. We don't know where to go. All we know is that Daryn, you and I are in a team. That is all I have.' Quetz slowed his pace and replied, 'Dawn, if you have the confidence in Daryn and me, then we have won half the battle. I can't assure you that we will not face any defeat, anything negative, but we can try to find the possibilities. Also, we are going to the Hartmoors.'…

The waterfall wasn't harsh. It tumbled gently down the hillside in a continuation of several waterfalls. The sound was a mellow tinkle. 'The rocks are slippery,' he cautioned her through their mental link. 'I'll be careful,' she replied as she followed him. 'So like I said, as my Luna, we can communicate with each other without letting anyone know. You need some practice for that. While we are here, keep blocking me in and out.' They practiced for an hour during which Daryn would run away very…

Quetz refuted the claim that it was just a myth. 'No. It may take a long time to find him but I feel that Brantley has a lot of answers, clues and he isn't telling us.' "Can someone tell me what is going on?" Daryn protested. Dawn was talking aloud to Quetz as if she was in actual conversation with him. Quetz ignored him. 'Brantley wants me. I knew it the first time I saw him. I chose you as my rider, so the Aztec Court has to wait. Brantley wouldn't dare to slay you because he knows that we are…

A flash of annoyance crossed Daryn's eyes. "Dawn why don't you understand?" His face was slowly turning red. He was angered that she didn't pay heed to what he explained to her. He chose to stay back to be with her for the rest of his life even if that meant staying in this forest, but she was still talking about the ensnare Brantley had put her in. Dawn pursed her lips. "Baby, I know what angers you. You are worried about my life." That was her Daryn, always worried sick about her that his little…

Quetz watched the two of them and flew off. "I am sorry that you l— let go of your family because of me," she said in a breathy voice. Daryn kissed her head and said, "No silly. I am sorry that I wasn't here when Brantley made that deal with you. I wish I had known of his intentions beforehand. I wouldn't have let you do it. Gayle is a strong werewolf. He would have found his way out." She leaned on his chest right over the tattoo, which had stars dripping from it, as if they were droplets of…

Dawn was standing in front of the cottage and looking at the crowd that was leaving. Some of them watched her with skepticism while some of them looked at her dragon who was still soaring in the sky. Quetz would come to sit on the shingles of the cottage roof every now and then and gaze around with his deep blue eyes. From the corner of her eyes she saw Gayle walking towards the group where they were getting ready to leave. A relief came over her. At least Brantley kept his side of the bargain. She saw the…
