By dawn of the third day, I was already eager to get going, having found out little about each dragon other than what a servant girl had told Kumiko: it’s rumored that the fire dragon was born during the war, nearly seven hundred years ago. With no more information than that to go on, I resolved to ask the dragons themselves when I saw them; maybe there were feuds or problems between them I could use to gain some inside information.
The previous night, more women had arrived, but few. Besides, it wasn’t them who worried me but Odsar, who was further along than me and had devised a plan to prevent all others from catching up with her.
She wanted Shen Mu all to herself, something I would not allow. Not in any lifetime.
