THE FIRST SHIMMER OF magic through the sky interrupts a mouthful of
fried bread and a convoluted story about a drunk wyvern.
“Did you see that?” Lark asks, to check that the flash of blue hadn’t been
their dragon eye playing tricks on them.
“See what?”
Gravy stains Wren’s chin from how quickly she has devoured her own
bread, and her face is still caught in laughter. It should be a crime to look
away from something so wonderful and yet —
Lark glances up. The sky is clear now, and they mourn the days when
they could trust their first impression of the world around them. The market
they are standing in is full of people who haven’t paused and are continuing
to shop and chat.
“Come on, what happened after it got kicked out of the vineyard?” Wren
asks.
“Oh, I offered it a lift, wherever it wanted,” Lark says, snapping back to

voice and the person it belongs to.
“Oh, Wren. You wouldn’t believe me if I told you,” they say. That part is
truthful enough.
A flash above them — magic like crushed sapphire in an arc, revealing
the dome shape of the city wards. Horns start blaring and a hush falls over
the marketplace, followed by a wave of uncertainty and hesitation. A
moment later, people begin to disperse at top speed. Fearful whispers of
dragons linger in the empty spaces.
“Alright. That one, I saw,“ Wren says, gaping. “Are they right? A dragon,incoming?”
A dragon would make the most sense in the current war climate. Lark’s
hometown, being in fact the holiest city of the Theocracy and the most

in the city, they have only heard the horns once, when the first dragon
