Chapter 98

 Present Day

“Well, this is great,” Valirian muttered under his breath as they entered the throne room.

Although the hour was late, the throne room was busy with noble men in their finery, word of the Silver Dragon having preceded his arrival. King Beiwarin rose from his throne as Sylvin’s captors brought Sylvin in. On the dais, a red-haired young woman reached out to place a restraining hand on the blue haired youth when the lad snarled and stepped forward upon seeing Sylvin bound and bleeding between the soldiers. A younger green haired girl just entering adolescence watched with wide eyes, clinging to the blue haired boy’s hand.

When the humans tried to force him to his knees, Sylvin snarled and spat, using elbows, head, and feet to send them scurrying and saw the blue-haired youth’s grin, and the red-haired woman’s expression change from despair to hope.
