Chapter
Seventeen
We were all unprepared for snow. Even the dragons were beginning to feel the low temperatures, their body heat not enough to keep them warm.
âWhat do you hear?â Philit asked me as he stepped over a log, the claws on his feet dragging over the surface and leaving four long lines in the snow.
âDo you mean besides all of our teeth chattering?â I was in no mood for this. I gave him a look, and he glared right back. âDo you really want to play this game right now?â
âNo. I want to know if you can sense any place for us to buckle down for the night. The snow will only get heavier. Itâs best if we set up camp now before we exhaust ourselves trying to walk through snow and freeze to death.â
Right. Of course he was asking for a completely logical reason.
Philit stopped the procession and faced me, waiting.
âGive me a second.â I closed my eyes, not that I needed to block out a sense to enhance my hearing, but the deep ocean blue of Philitâs eyes were distracting. Beautiful. Even without staring into his eyes, it was hard to hear past all the snow and wind. I shook my head, blowing out a frustrated breath.
âItâs windy.â
âNo shit,â Landers snapped.
âIâm not saying itâs windy. Iâm saying itâs all I can hear.â
Neither Philit or Landers were amused.
âFocus past that,â the Fae said, all of the dragons turning to him and snarling. âThe wind is only white noise. Block it out. Hear beyond it.â
He sounded like some of the elders back home, the old ladies who sat and knitted and talked about how things used to be. I knew I shouldnât listen, knew he was probably lying. But I couldnât help myself; there was something in the way he spoke that pulled my eyes closed and my mind to focus not on the white noise of the wind but on what was behind it.
âSomething sounds⦠solid. As though the wind is hitting against it, but itâs unmovable. When the wind hits it, the sound changes.â
Philit stopped snarling at the Fae at that. âWhere?â
I pointed in the direction of the sound, and everyone turned. We battled against wind and snow with Landers giving me more than one concerned look before we came to stone outcropping. The rock was massive, stretching high overhead with another one on top that created an overhang. It wasnât much coverage, but it was better than freezing to death out in the open.
âThank fuck,â Landers said, already moving closer to the rock. I followed him but so did the wind. Maybe this wasnât as much protection as I thought.
âEverythingâs too wet. The fire isnât going to amount to much,â Zilon said, kicking a few of the soaked sticks on the ground.
âNow would be a good time for dragon fire,â I said, teeth still chattering.
The Fae chuckled but cut himself off when all the dragons turned to him and snarled.
âSomething funny?â Landers took a step toward the Fae, who didnât even have the decency to cower.
