It had been a month now since the rescue party went their separate ways. Amrufel sometimes wondered what became of Hrothgar and Tanya. He could tell the two humans never fully trusted him, but he did not bear them any ill will for it. He was accustomed to such things. But then again...
Amrufel glanced down at Yewka, the pixie sleeping soundly beside him. He couldn't help but smile. She was the only woman since his mother to ever love him and accept him unconditionally. She didn't mind that he was a half-dragon. Even after she learned that his father was the cruel and infamous Vorn, scourge of the western mountains, she didn't turn her back on him. She knew that he was his father's son in blood only.
Amrufel pulled her closer and wrapped his leathery wings around the two of them. Bright orange eyes, the same color as the fire that illuminated the small grove they slept in, looked to the clear sky to watch the stars. He knew that he did not have to be alone. Yewka had proven that to him. But there was still one thing that bothered him, one thing that would haunt him until he went to make things right.
He gently brushed a little of Yewka's hair from her face as he made his decision and whispered softly to her, "Darling? Are you awake?"
