"fosterbrother" of hers fully Elven or perhaps human? No, if he was
human, there would be no need for all this secrecy and fiddlingabout.
But it was obvious that he wasn't going to get any further
in-formation out of the woman unless he did as she asked, so, witha sigh, he
gathered threads of magic and wove them into a net,casting it over the two of
them, just for good measure. He mightas well see if the Elvenbane herself was
under a glamor.
Nothing happened. The two of them remained exactly asthey had been
when they walked into the firelight.
Now Kyrtian was puzzled. Had the magic been countered?It couldn't
have been deflected; he'd have seen that. Couldthey have absorbed it, then
negated it? But how? "Are you carrying something new that works like iron?" he

asked. "Or have you "
He never got a chance to finish his question, because in thenext
moment, the young man who had been standing at the fire-side, looking
altogether as normal as it was possible for a wizard to look, suddenly began
to...change. He didn'twrithe, exactly,but he blurred and twisted in a way that
induced a really violentcase of dizziness and nausea. It felt as if something
was wrench-ing Kyrtian's eyes out of their sockets and stirring up his guts at
the same time, and Kyrtian clapped his hand over his mouth andturned away. He
wasn't alone; the rest of his men were doing thesame thing, their complexions
in varying shades of green.
What in the name of
As soon as he turned his eyes away his symptoms subsided,and he
looked up, glaring at Lashana, angry accusations on his lips.
Which died, as he continued to look up and up and up into the
jewel-like and surprisingly mild eyes of a very large,sapphire-blue dragon.
At least, he thought it was a dragon. He couldn't think of
anythingelse it could be. It was huge, scaled, winged, fanged and taloned.
There weren't many other creatures that fitthatdescription.
As he stared, he heard the men behind him reacting to the presence of
the creature. One was praying in the ancient lan-guage of the humans, one was
cursing with remarkable fluency,
and he distinctly heard thethud of a third dropping to theground,
presumably having fainted dead away.
Not that Kyrtian blamed him in the least.
"You can cast all the illusion-breaking spells you like, butdragons
can look like anything they care to and you won'tknow it. The dragons are
shape-changers, you see," he heardthe Elvenbane say, quite cheerfully, but it
was as if he heard herin the far distance. His mind was still too involved
with the im- possibility of what he had just witnessed, and the
sheerpres-enceof the dragon itself. "That's our biggest secret, and that gives
us undetectable spies among you Elvenlords. The drag-ons can go anywhere and
be anything or anybody, andyou cannever tell that they're there, because
they're not taking on illu-sions, they're taking on the real form of whatever
they imitate.They've been spying on your people oh,forever. From themoment the
Elvenlords arrived here, the Eldest say."
"Oh," Kyrtian said, faintly. "I suppose dragons must have been in my
camp, then?"
Lashana let out a peal of laughter. "My good Lord Kyrtian,dragons
wereguarding your tent. And neither you nor your good Sargeant Gel had any
notion!"
"Actually," the dragon said, with a note of apology in hisdeep voice,
"I was one of them. Sorry. Hate to eavesdrop andall that, but we really didn't
have much choice. We had to knowwhat youwere, you understand. Suddenly you
were doing allsorts of efficient things against the Young Lords, and we calcu-
lated that you'd be coming after us, next."
Kyrtian wasn't entirely certain how the dragon wasspeak-ing; the
voice seemed to rumble up out of the depths of thatmassive torso, and the

mouth opened and closed, but the dragon didn't have anything like lips, and he
couldn't figure out how itcould shape words with that mouth....
"At any rate,this is our biggest secret, and now you know it,"Lashana
continued. "So well, you can see that we trust you." [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
