Darius starts flying away from the camp and Love. I turn my head to see Love making her way into the Log Cabin. There is so much that we saw today, and now we know one of Toron’s goals. “There is a traitor within the Dragon walls,” I say hearing Darius grunt.
The Dragons can communicate telepathically in their Dragon form with each other or with their mates, but not with anyone else. The way back is made in silence, my thoughts going over everything I saw today and what possible evil plan Toron can have that will draw us to him.
When Darius lands in the clearing before the Singing tunnels I step into his clawed paw to be placed on the ground before he changes into his human form. The cloaking spell still in place until I am sure we are safe inside the tunnel. Trek, Zain, Aqua, Drez and two Dragons are waiting, when we appear Trek walks over to enfold me in his strong arms.
“Are you okay?” he asks a minute later as he takes hold of my upper arms pushing me back to scan my body up and down.
“Yes, I’m back safe and sound.” I state as I look up at his familiar face.
“Did you find a camp?” one of the Dragons asks, but before I can answer Trek is pulling me behind himself.
“Someone is approaching,” he whispers. A few minutes later Rea and her Dragon are revealing themselves.
“You are back, how was it?” before Reality can answer I interrupt her as we can’t be sure of who to trust.
“Let’s wait for the others to arrive, I think we should all be together before sharing.” I see Trek frowning at my words, his gaze feels like he is looking deep into my soul. I take his hand squeezing it gently trying to make him understand without saying anything.
“Yes, we don’t need you to repeat yourself over and over.” I smile up at his words thanking him silently. I make my way towards Rea pulling her arm so she can follow me into the tunnels as she was about to talk to Zain, I want to talk to her away from prying ears.
“Stop pulling me,” she grumbles but she follows me until we are standing inside the tunnel, I see that Trek has come to stand at the entrance to the tunnel to make sure that no one follows us. I incline my head in thanks before turning towards Reality andexplain what I found today. I see her eyes fill with tears as I relate the fact about seeing Love and what I evidenced.
“He is going to go after the Fairy Ghost Quartz, we need to figure out what he wants with it.” I say, “But he seemed to sound like he has a plan to capture us, also he knew that we were here.” I see the surprise on Reality’s face. “There is a traitor here, or someone among us that belongs to his followers.”
“We also found a camp, but there were very few beings there.” Reality whispers, “It was strange as most of them were Goblins.” I frown at her revelation, why would Toron have Goblins working with him, I understand that they are mean little critters, but they are small, weak, and untrustworthy.
I hear Dream’s voice, glancing behind me I see that Trek has disappeared. Frowning I start to turn but then see Trek at the entrance to the tunnel, Dream is frowning as she stands next to him. “Your sisters would like to talk to you,” I hear him say.
Dream walks towards us, a clear look of confusion on her face. “What is going on?” Dream asks.
“Did you see anything while out there?” I ask.
“No, we didn’t find any camps just a lot of destruction. It was so sad!” there is tears in her voice which leads me to hug her as I understand where her sadness comes from.
“We didn’t see any beings at all in our long journey, is that possible?” Dream asks.
“They will all be in hiding,” Reality replies.
“What is going on?” Vain asks as she walks towards us, “As soon as we entered the tunnel Trek is ushering me here,”
“Did you see anything?” Reality asks instead of answering Vain.
“We found a camp…well, not really a camp but a couple of tents together.” Vain says, “there were only three Chimera in the camp.”
“We have a problem,” Rea explains, “Hope found Toron, and he has Love.”
“How is that a problem?” Vain asks as she stands before us.
“Toron knows we are here,” Rea says and continues to explain what I saw and what was said by Toron.
“Now we need to decide on who we are going to trust, and our plans need to stay between us because I think that Toron’s goal is to capture us.” I tell my sisters my suspicions and my plan on proceeding with what we need to do.
“I think we should trust the men that came with us,” Dream suggests as she looks towards where the men are still standing waiting for us.
“We can trust our guards too,” Vain says looking at Reality and getting a nod of acknowledgment from her.
“Good, we don’t want a large number to know our plan. We shall call all of them later and sit down and plan what our next step will be, we need to keep in mind that Toron seemed confident that we are doing what he expects, which means that we are playing to his plan, therefore we need to make sure that we aren’t predictable.”
“Maybe instead of us going to help the Druids in protecting the Fairy Ghost Quartz we send the Dragons, and we concentrate on the rescue of Love,” Vain suggests.
