"Indeed it is," the Dragon says it aloud this time.

I look at Mariella and Aurelia, Mari, as I have decided to call her, it's only fair, if she has a nickname for me, I get to have one for her, anyway, Mari has a smug look of glee on her face, I glance over to Aurelia, she has her arms crossed and a glum look on her face.

"Hand it over, little sister," Mari says, extending her hand towards Aurelia, sisters?, well, that explains the resemblence between the two.

Aurelia slowly reaches down towards her belt and unfastens a pouch from her waist, and pours five gold coins into her palm, and reluctantly hands then over to Mari.

Mari pockets them and then turns to me, "I see you have met Samira," she points out.

So my torturers name is Samira, interesting.

I roll my eyes "Well duh," I say, my fear of the older woman from earlier gone comepletely "She invaded my dreams and thoughts for the past two years. Two years!"

"Well, yes Samira does have quite a habit of doing that," she replies.

"It's true, I do," the green Dragon says, without moving her mouth, if I might add, "But your mind was most interesting, and when I annoyed you, you'd go up in sparks, literally, even If you didn't know it at the time."

"How did I not know that I was going up in sparks?" I ask, tentively.

"Because your father hid them from you, he could sense when Magick was flowing through your veins." Mari replies.

"What?"

"Anyway," she continues "Lets get inside, Samira, could you transform,so we can get in please?" She asks the creature.

"Of course, misstress."

Transform?

I open my mouth to voice my thoughts, but never get to because I am suddenly blinded by golden light, and my eyelids are glued shut.
