Chapter One
Snow crunched beneath Keira's cold paws as she hobbled away from her village burning to rubble. A smoky haze drifted up into dreary sky where vicious dragons cast a rain of fire over her town. The smell of smoldering death was strong in her stinging...
Chapter Four
** ** Fallon tilted his wings and dived down toward the city. The wind roared in his ears as he plummeted from the sky like an ebony arrow until his wings shot out and ripped backward to slow his descent. He landed on his hinds first before bouncing...
Chapter Fifteen
Fallon hovered over Ruari's bedside with gentle, hopeful eyes looking down at him. It had been two days since Ruari had feinted, and every hour that passed made Fallon's stomach twist into a tighter knot. Rarely did he leave his son's room unless it...
Chapter Two
Ruari scribbled furiously in his scroll, drawing lines and forming runes with his ink-tipped claws. Every so often, he would dip his white claws back into the black inkwell and hastily go back to writing his runes, spilling black splotches on his...
Chapter Three
** ** Keira shifted around in her bed and then felt an aching pain suddenly jolt up her spine. With a weak yelp, her eyes shot open as her body crumpled forward. Just as quickly as the pain came, it disappeared. She panted and winced, a dull ache now...
Chapter Sixteen

Chapter Five
Ruari stared listlessly at his dragon-shaped plushy that his sister had given him as a third birthday present before she had left--over a year ago now. It was a toy she had played with when she was younger, but it still looked like it was almost new....
Chapter Eleven
The flight back to her old home was long and strenuous, but at least Keira had the chance to talk with Fallon to help pass the time. Learning about magic distracted her from the ache in her wings. She wanted to try and discover her magic when they...
Chapter Seven
Ruari could hardly sit still; he fidgeted on his talons, constantly adjusted his wings, and flicked his tail back and forth nervously. Too many thoughts nudged at his frenzied mind, trying to find their way into his head, but he just couldn't calm...
Chapter Seventeen
** ** Fallon smiled and watched Ruari and his friends play on the icy river that had been a beach a few days prior. They laughed and slid around as they attempted to see how far they could slide across the ice. There were a few others playing around...
