  50. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

He had to put it directly above the portal to the Dracsi dimension. If it was anywhere else, the dragon might hit Gabriel or Rachel. But if it was that close, there was no way he’d be able to get free before they passed through.

But maybe this is what he deserved? The Old One coming to Earth was his fault, and he’d known from the start that one of them was going to be lost to the other dimension. If this was what it took to make up for his actions while still rescuing his father, then that was what Fort had to—

“THERE!” the Old One shouted, and they began to dive in the direction of the Pacific Ocean. “I SENSE IT, DIFFERENT THAN THE ONE ACROSS THE SEA. THIS MUST BE THE TRUE CHILD I SEEK! I AM COMING FOR YOU, LITTLE ONE!”

What?! The last dragon might actually be here? Fort hadn’t even considered that!

He had to get a teleportation circle open while they were still flying. That was the only way to get the dragon through it, to use its speed against it. Closing his eyes and mentally saying good-bye to his father and friends, Fort opened a circle…

Only for the dragon to dive beneath it. “DO NOT INTERFERE,” the Old One said, squeezing Fort tighter. Once again, Fort found it almost impossible to breathe, and the world began to get even darker than it was under the starry sky.

And then the dragon released the pressure as it did a barrel roll in the sky, avoiding something loud before them. Fort gasped for air as they passed directly under a police helicopter, then went blind as the helicopter’s lights focused right on him.

“MORE OF YOU TRY TO STOP ME!” the dragon shouted. “YOU BEG ME TO DOOM YOUR SPECIES!”

As the first helicopter turned to follow them, a second came up from another side. That wasn’t good. So far they just had their lights trained on the dragon, but if they started shooting, or even tried to head it off, there would be no way of stopping the creature.

“Hey!” he shouted, waving his hands toward the helicopters. “It’s okay! I’ve got this under control!” Yes, it was a complete lie, but he still had a better shot at fixing things than they did.

“Set the boy down safely on the ground,” said a voice over a loudspeaker from the helicopter. “We do not want to hurt you.”

“HURT ME?” the dragon said, sneering as it turned its head toward the helicopter.

“No!” Fort shouted, now waving at the dragon to get its attention. “Remember the last dragon? Don’t let them distract you!”
