Summoning Father 1

Watching the dragons [1] awaken one by one, Varden thought to himself, All of them are far more powerful than I am so how is it that I was born to this family? Someone just had a sick sense of humor I think.

Once all the dragons were freed of their ice prisons, they decided to rush to Alachia's aid--even the mammals [2] and Nissa were up for it. Following along behind the group, Varden thought, And I thought Flan was SMART. These people have a deathwish!

Realizing that Varda had dropped back next to him, he looked over at her and asked in their secret twin language, "What?"

"Bugged," Varda replied in the same secret language.

"Not."

"Too."

"Deathwish!"

"None."

"Too!"

Varda and Varden glared at each other for a moment before they said at the same time, "Trap and plan."

"I'll get the others to spring the trap," Varda said, still speaking in their secret twin language. "Only you can call Father."

"Will you be okay?" Varden asked.

"Dragon and her sisters seem like they'll be taking the brunt of it," Varda said.

< What're you two jawing about? > Flan's voice filled their heads.

"Nothing," the twins replied using regular speech. To each other in secret twin language, they said, "Ready when you are."

Slipping ahead with the dragons, Varda gave Varden one last look, Varden nodded--he knew the signal. Slipping behind the mammals and Nissa, Varden closed his eyes and sent out a call that only one person could hear. "Father. Sis and I need you. We and mother are in danger!"

Elsewhere, an ancient being opened a bleary, angry eye.
