"Absolutely not!" one general shouts loud enough that I can hear her all the way from the little medical station that's been set up at the end of the bleachers for riders. It's nothing but a row of a dozen tables and some flown-in supplies to tide us over until we can get to the Healer Quadrant, but at least the pain medication is taking effect.
I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I have two dragons. Two.
I was shocked I even got one, let alone two. I know everyone is going to try and take them from me. Our bond is weak now, so they will take any open opportunity to break that bond and try to bond with Tairn.
'I'd like to see them try,' Tairn growls in my head and I roll my eyes, smiling slightly. He was always there, listening to my thoughts. It was oddly comforting in some creepy way. I have been alone all my life and now I never have to feel that way again.
The generals have been screaming at each other for the last half hour, long enough for a chill to settle in the night air and for an instructor I've never met to sew up my stomach and neck. I knew it was going to leave a nasty scar, but it will just add to the spots I have. I'm just happy I made it out alive.
Lucky for me, Tynan didn't sever anything important that I would need to function. He barely missed my jugular veins, now that would have been lethal. Literally.
Unlucky for me, Jack is getting his shoulder examined about a dozen feet away. He strutted over from the back of an Orange Scorpiontail to record his bond with the roll-keeper, who'd kept doing her job regardless of the generals arguing on the dais behind her.
Jack hasn't quit staring at Tairn across the field. He was one I needed to watch out for him.
"How is that?" Professor Kaori asks quietly, wrapping bandages around my wounds. There are about a million other questions in his slashing, dark eyes, like most people here, but he keeps them to himself.
"Fine, thank you." It hurts a little, but I've never been one to admit that. I am used to the pain, it's now a dull ache against everything else swirling in my head.
'You need to get your emotions in control. I can hear all of your thoughts' Tairn sends down our bond as Professor Kaori finishes the bandages and I roll my eyes.
