else. He wondered briefly if she had on panties when she moved toward them with a limp. Pulling out a chair for her, he took her foot in his hand when she said she’d hurt it.
    “I took a little tumble in the bathroom. It’s not.... I hope you don’t mind, but I made it just a little bigger than it was. I can put it back should you not care for it.” Shane looked over at Keion and he grinned. “Or not. I don’t really care. I don’t think I’ll be here that much longer anyway, do you?”
    “Why not?” She said that people were looking for her. “Yes. The Herald. They’re looking for all witches. I don’t know what sparked them to life again, but they’ve been out and about making trouble for a few. I think, total, there are about nine of them living on this land. Witches, I mean. Also, I wanted to tell you about the others. The other dragons besides the family.”
    “Roger told me.” She pulled her foot out of his hands and stood up. “And about the other witches. I know that they’re here. I can feel them. A couple of them, you should know, don’t belong here. They’re witches, but have been promised things that won’t be delivered to them if they tell these people what they know about this place and the people here. The witches think to profit off the death of their sisters by keeping tabs on what is going on, the ways in and out of here, as well as how many people are not human. They’re especially supposed to find out all they can about Erin, who I don’t think they know has already been killed. Or if they’ve heard, they don’t believe it. They’ve seen me.”
    “You mean that these witches are working for the Herald?” She said that they were working with someone. “Can you tell me which ones? We can’t have trouble here. We have enough of that as it is with dragon slayers and anyone else that thinks to come here for personal gain.”
    “I don’t know them by name, only that they’re here with the idea that killing a witch will give them their powers.” He asked her if it would. “To a point. But you cannot kill us without reason. I mean, simply because you want their powers, perhaps, but you can’t kill for a profit. That’s what it would be should they take the money from the men that seek us and then kill.”
    “You mean they must follow the rules too, even in this?” She nodded and put a cup on the table. With a touch of her fingers, the cup was filled with hot tea. Lelani asked them if they’d like a cup before they left. “We’re leaving?”
    “Yes. The castle needs to be finished. Now. I need to go and make that happen before it’s too late.”

    Keion wasn’t sure what he was supposed to do. Lelani told him to stand behind her but not to touch her yet. It was the most difficult thing he’d been asked to do. But then, she’d not asked. He was beginning to think it was the way she did things all the time, just tell you what needed done and expect you to comply. It wasn’t that she was rude, but she knew how it was to work and didn’t care for anyone messing with her ideas.
    “I’m sorry. But once more. We’re going to do this how?” Asher looked at him and Shane when Lelani told him it was time to get the south wall up. “And why this wall only? I was under the impression that we had to build the walls up a layer at a time.”
    Daniel moved to stand beside them now, as had several of the other larger dragons. They seemed to understand the progression of things better than they did, but Keion didn’t ask again. He thought himself stupid for not understanding what she wanted.
    “Okay, first of all….” She turned to him. “You’re not stupid. And if you say that again, I’m going to hurt you. You’re ignorant of this process. That does not make you stupid. You just don’t know. Got it?”
    “Yes.” He kissed her then and she told him to behave. “Trust me when I tell you, I am. What I really want to do is take you over to that flat stone, lay you
