(Hunter's P.O.V.)

The dream had left me confused because I still felt the pain that was inflicted in the dream. I wanted to talk to her about it but didn't know how to start the conversation. I was terrified that she was so calculated and maniacal. I figured the best way to understand would be to talk to the only person who knows what happened. It was time to talk to Kiara about why she truly left Micah's thunder.

I sat in the kitchen waiting for everyone to wake up. I figured it would be better than disturbing people while they slept. It is always a bad decision to wake up a dragon. I decided to make breakfast for the thunder when suddenly I felt a presence standing near me. This was presence I had only felt once before. It was powerful and dangerous, it wasn't as dangerous as Elizabeth the other day but still dangerous. I knew before turning around that it was one of the council's pets.

"May I help you? You know you are not allowed on my territory without invitation, yet here you are. There must be a liable explanation or you wouldn't risk it knowing that I usually kill trespassers," I said, annoyed as hell.

"I am Damos, Richard's messenger. I am here with a message for Elizabeth. Bring her to me now."

(Elizabeth's P.O.V.)

I woke up knowing that Hunter had felt and saw what I saw in my dream so I knew he would want to talk. I was scared and knew he was scared as well. I knew there was nothing to be done though because it needed to happen. I got in the shower thinking about how to broach the subject.

When I got out I heard a voice downstairs I knew all too well. It was Damos Santoya, Richard Mulligan's "messenger". He was trying to command Hunter to bring me to him so I got dressed quickly, masked my scent and walked downstairs until I was right behind him.

"I am Damos, Richard's messenger. I am here with a message for Elizabeth. Bring her to me now."

"Damos Santoya, so nice to see you again. Messenger is such a vague word to describe what you are to Richard. I heard you have a message for me, although I find it funny that you think you can order your king to do anything. Let's see the message. Ah yes, the Council think it wrong I killed my father and so many others and if I don't seem remorseful a war will be waged against me. Let's see do I care, no not really. See I am way more powerful than the council knows. Damos Santoya, messenger to Richard Mulligan, listen to me and listen well. If the council wants to sit on their ass while I do all the work protecting our people then they are in my way. If they want a war, then a war they will get. I am a queen and the council will bow down or die that is the way of the True Dragon."

I perhaps should explain that there is a prophecy. It says that one day a dragon will be born and rise to rule and protect all creatures. The dragon will be more powerful than all others and will be a hybrid of two species. This dragon will rule with a mate by its side after taking out those who would oppose them. This dragon will be the past, present, and future of all dragons. This dragon will rise to save everyone.

"If you want to be here when the council is not. Tell Mr. Mulligan to kiss your ass and join your queen. Damos remember what it was like growing up. Please, brother, try to come back to me."
