When Merena heard the commotion, she eased toward the window. Soon she made out the 'hip-hip hurrays' and 'they're here' then the swooshing sounds of wings.

"Dragonkin?" whispered Merena.

Soon her feet raced toward Henry then halted beside him.

"Come with me," commanded Henry.

"It's the dragonkin?" probed Merena.

"Yes. The king wants to see you," replied Henry.

"You lead the way," commented Merena.

When he walked the way he came from, she followed behind him, making sure his body hid her form. Her head peeked out from behind him time to time, glancing around.

"Don't be afraid," reassured Henry.

"Will it be the Razor I know? Will he look the same?" asked Merena more to herself than for Henry.

"Don't worry. You'll remember him," answered Henry.

"I...," stammered Merena; her fingers twisted into his shirt and held there.

"Just breath," said Henry.

"Mmm-hmm," muttered Merena, her head nodded against his back.

"Hello, King Razor Talon. I'm Henry. I contacted you about Merena," informed Henry while he talked; his hand reached out.

"Yes. I would say the eyeball hiding behind you is Merena," remarked Razor; she took his hand.

"It is. Please don't judge this, King Razor Talon. She is shy at first," commented Henry.

"Please, call me Razor. She has been through a lot," said Razor.

"Follow me. I'll take you to my house for privacy," related Henry.

Every so often, she scrutinized him as he and his men followed diligently behind the pair. When she glanced back at the tall, blond-haired, green-eyed man out the corner of her eye, her heart fluttered. His lips curved when she jumped after their eyes locked and he glanced at White Scar then winked.

At the door, Henry ordered, "Sit down, Merena."

He took a step back and continued, "Welcome. Come inside, Razor. Gentlemen."

"Thank you, Henry. I am glad you contacted me," conveyed Razor.

Immediately, Razor sat in a chair close to Merena. She noticed his piercing eyes on her, and she lowered her head then placed her hands between her thighs. She watched her thumbs twist around each other.

"Remember. Breath," whispered Henry in her ear.

Instantly, her eyes widen and her chin raised by the fact she held her breath until Henry informed her. He chuckled while she inhaled.

"Yes," whispered Merena, her eyes darted onto her hands.

"Merena," said Razor.

Afterward, her chin raised, and they took in his handsome features. His lips arched.

"Yes," muttered Merena.

"I have to make sure you are, Merena. I will ask some questions," declared Razor.

"Of course. It would be unwise to just agree I'm Merena. Do me a favor and don't say I'm special. If I was special, people wouldn't betray, attack, or rape me," stated Merena.

"True. I'm sorry about all your hardship," related Razor.

"Ask your questions," commanded Merena.
