Thalynder touched Bryn’s face. “As is ours.”
Bryn kissed Thalynder’s lips. “With Mediter following Meriel, there is hope.”
With every breath there is hope, Meydra replied.
Meriel let the wind carry her, and she glided silently above the boat. She could pull out of the tether easily and escape the Norsemen, but she did not. She watched the sky change color as the evening approached. Soon, the stars would be there to welcome her. Meriel felt something stir deep inside. She looked within her heart, as dragons often do, and she smiled.
I will not be alone.
