Hate

Torrance was fuming that stupid girl was supposed to marry him. That's what both their parents wanted. The only reason he'd joined the dragon riders was so he could seduce her get her with child and then.

He took a deep breath, that path was closed. Zara was never going to be his. He would not get the blood match, that would put him on the path.

Now he needed to be a dragon rider for real. Make a name for himself as a hero. He was done with this training camp. He reached over to the long-range com crystal built into the wall his mother would fix everything, she always did.

*************

Ruth was frantic, she tossed her horns and let out irritated barks, the other dragons were giving her space. Where was Morris? It had been him howling. She knew it. and there had been a fight if something had happened to him who would stand up to Beatrice, show her a way to retain her pride. She'd never even talked to him. Then Sickle came back. She could smell Morris blood on her. A long growl erupted in from a primal place within Ruth t and she attacked.

Beatrice smiled at least something had gone well today Ruth and Morris were registered as a good option to pair she couldn't wait to tell Desmond the good news.

Morris was angry and filled with loathing. There must be some way to end the boy. He thought and looked around his movements painful. Zara sat a short way off her expression vague and absent, the power beh9ind her grey eyes somehow absent. he'd seen that face in the mirror before. There was something more important than revenge.

 He stated up Zara's song. She joined in on the second verse. It was a start, This old elven lullaby seemed to reach her.  The tune was happy. although he listened to the words, for the first time. "sleep now my baby, your mother will miss you, while you're gone,... one day we may meet again" hmm, it almost sounds like the baby died. Why are lullaby's so weird?

 As the song ended and Zara moved over to lean against him and write in her diary, he thought there could be worse things than being forced to be her friend.     

Authors note****

yes it's a short one  the next one will be longer and is taking longer to edit than planed however Chapter 6 Pride  is now my main objective 

P.S on advice, I updated the prologue to include a bit of Morris before he arrived at the Arcanists Guild so you may want to go back and read that. or not I guess.

P.P.S all the former stuff is now moot except the bit about this chapter being short
