The Look Inside

You’ve shown me pieces of yourself you’ve never shown anybody else. Both the good and the bad you’ve let me see it all. This look inside has shown me a world that I thought was lost to me. All I want to do is be a part of what you are.

Saving a Dragon’s Heart

The slow drip, drip, dripping of a water source filling up one drop of water at a time permeated my senses. It’s been a week since my captors strung me up in this cave and left me to rot, with a solitary guard to make sure I didn’t die before they came back. Idiots believed me when I said I left the treasure in my library. The chains clinked as I rubbed my stomach feeling the smooth surface and the steady beat of a heart.

A yell caught my attention followed by a short scuffle. “Kat! Kathrine!” A familiar voice echoed through the cave.  “Where are you?”

“Right here,” I croaked. I had to use the wall to stand up wincing at the pain in my stomach. A torch came into view followed by my boss in his wolf armor. “Hey Drake, you got a dagger?”

He pulled one out of his belt handing it to me hilt first. “Are you sure getting caught was the best option?” He reprimanded.

“I was out of options,” I explained cutting along the scar line just below my ribs.

“What the hell are you doing?” Jordan came out from behind Drake her face paling in the torch light.

I gave her a wane smile as I reached into the wound. “Lesson number one dear protege. If you want to keep something hidden. Keep it close.” I removed the green stone it’s light pulsing in my hand. “Pyra’s heart. Just like I promised.”
