The great hall is filled with members of my clan. While they chat and
joke amongst themselves, I stand alone. The cold of being an outsider
wraps around me more tightly than my own wings ever could. I watch as
Dravon, our most skilled hunter, regales the younger ones with tales of his
latest conquest. The way his muscles bulge beneath his shirt is enough to
make even the eldest dragon shifters swoon, and his story is so enthralling
that he draws the entire clan into his tale.

But when he reaches the climax where he has to fend off an attacking
griffin with his bare hands, a small child interrupts him. “What about the
eggs? Couldn’t you have just taken their eggs? It would’ve been safer than
trying to kill one of them for meat.”
Dravon pauses, his golden eyes flicking down to the child. The adults
snicker, clearly thinking the question is hilarious, but Dravon’s gaze is
anything but amused. His face is an impassive mask, his tone controlled.
“And then what story would I have to tell?”
But the truth is, as we sit here, our store of food is running dangerously
low. A few griffin eggs would go a long way to ensuring no one starves.
As Dravon finishes his tale with a dramatic flourish, his audience bursts
into applause. I clap along with them, although inside I’m dying a little bit
more. I want to join their ranks; I do, but every time I try, I just can’t seem
to fit in. Instead, I’m here, nursing a mug of fermented berry juice,
pretending that the sharp tang doesn’t remind me of Bellatara’s favorite
drink.
Once upon a time, the angel was my best friend. She was a guardian
angel and the most incredible one I’ve ever met, at that. But after she got
married, her visits became less frequent. Then one day they stopped
altogether. I suppose that’s the way of life, but it still hurts. Now, I’m alone
and there are times when the pain is so much that I feel like it’s suffocating
me.
Don’t get me wrong. This clan welcomed me as a toddler when I
stumbled through a portal on the edge of the Enchanted Forest. They’ve
taken care of me since. They’re a tight-knit group, and they’ve always
treated me well. They love me. I know that, but there’s something that
makes me feel as though I just don’t belong here. And now as I listen to
Dravon talk, my chest feels even tighter. The feeling grows so strong that I
think it might devour me whole.
Unlike all of the adult dragon shifters, I agree with the child. The eggs
would’ve been the smarter option.
“Maybe it’s time to think practically,” I murmur under my breath.
Beside me stands Lyria, a petite dragon shifter with shimmering green
scales that catch the torchlight. She’s the closest thing I have to a friend in
the clan, and she’s always there to lend an empathetic ear or offer a
comforting shoulder.
