“Why did you leave my quarters?” He asks.
Hannah’s head turns from Zod, and I notice her displeased scowl. “Don’t talk to me like I’m a child. The Queen found me. I am not harmed.” She says, and proceeds to lift both my feet and place them in cushions on the table. Zod follows the action and I see a hint of disapproval.
I clear my throat. “It’s fine, Hannah. I can manage. You can…talk to Zod.”
She doesn’t look at me, but she stands and turns her full gaze on him. Chin almost fully up with defiance.Or is it something else?
“I am unharmed. And you don’t need to worry. I am fine here,” she says.
“No. You are coming with me,” Zod states strongly.
I only remember Faz in the room by the small chuckle. We both watch the two stand on either side.
“Um, Zod. Why is Hannah here and why haven’t you said anything?” I ask when it seems that both of them aren’t keen on talking.
His eyes still don’t leave Hannah’s. “No disrespect, but it was not anyone’s concern. I found this human on my own. She is no one’s business but mine.”
“I am a full adult.” Hannah states defiantly.
Zod narrows his eyes at her, I suspect to get her to submit but my little Hannah doesn’t back down, her hands cross over her chest.
After a few moments, Zod says, “Fine. But I want you back at my quarters. I found you. You are my responsibility. Do you want Aria to get in trouble for having you?”
That seems to do it for Hannah because she turns to me with a concerned expression.
“I will be fine, Hannah. I’ll talk to Masa about you. You don’t have to go with him.” I try to place her at ease.
“Yes, but I don’t want to burden you.” She says guiltily.
I look at Zod. I want to protest and ask her to stay but his expression makes me say, “Just don’t be a stranger. I will come visit you tomorrow. We’ll have dinner.”
That answer seems to make Zod relax a fraction and I really eye him.
Does he care for Hannah? What are his plans for her? I know I can’t have the conversation I want to have with him right now, so I bite my tongue.
Later that night, he comes to get her.
She didn’t seem uncomfortable with him so maybe they are some kind of…friends?
Time will tell.
When I roll myself in bed, sadness blankets me once more now that I am all alone. He may have been taken alive, but that doesn’t give me full assurance. I pray for his safety.
Igor, you promised me.

Itrytoopenmy eyes, but it is hard. I need to wake up, that’s all I know. I don’t feel restful, and it is hard to remember why. It feels like something is keeping my body still against my will.
I need to remember.
I try to use my nose to gauge my surroundings. Nothing I inhale smells familiar.Where am I?
My mind brings everything back and I flinch inwardly.The dragon.
