  50. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Now that Fort wasn’t under the control of Q’baos, the extent of Gabriel’s betrayal hit him hard. Part of him couldn’t believe what Gabriel had done, but a smaller, darker part of Fort wondered if he himself would have done the same, if it had been the only way to get his father back. Would he have betrayed the entire world too? He couldn’t imagine it, but the idea of leaving his father behind absolutely ripped him apart inside.

But that was a question for another time. For now, he moved toward Gabriel, hoping to get some answers. But a fireball beat him there, flying straight at his roommate before Fort could move to stop it.

Gabriel saw it coming, though, and his hands glowed green as he opened a teleportation circle in front of himself, sending the fireball somewhere unknown.

Gabriel could cast Teleport? Since when?

“Traitor!” Rachel shouted, another fireball already on its way toward Fort’s roommate. As he dodged, she lowered her hands to the ground, and the earth beneath his feet jumped, sending Gabriel flying. He opened another circle in midair and emerged right behind Rachel, moving to bash her with his shield, only for Fort to teleport him away before his blow could land.

“What did you do, Gabriel?” he shouted, moving between the two.

“He tried to knock me out and go looking for the Old Ones!” Rachel shouted, lightning playing between her hands. “I got here after he told them where the last dragon was, but that one took over my mind before I could stop him.” She pointed at Ketas, the Old One with tentacles coming out of his skull helmet.

Fort turned to Gabriel, his mouth hanging open, but his old roommate just stared at Fort sadly. “It’s like I said, kid. You do whatever you have to do to save the ones you love. They have my brother. I hate them with every inch of my body, but I can’t beat them. So this was my only option.”

D’vale began to laugh again. “WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE WHAT HAS BECOME OF YOUR KIN. THE TWO HUMANS WE TOOK WERE MEANT TO TEACH US WHAT YOUR KIND HAD BECOME WHILE WE WERE EXILED. WHAT WE DISCOVERED, HOWEVER, IS THAT THE OLDER HUMAN NO LONGER HAD THE ABILITY TO CREATE MAGIC. BUT THE YOUNGER ONE WAS FULL OF POWER. AND WE UNLOCKED IT.”

Gabriel clenched his fists as he stared at the creature, then turned to the dragon. “You’re in control of them, right? Make them give me back my brother!”

“I CANNOT CONTROL THEIR ACTIONS,” the dragon rumbled. “AND I CARE NOT FOR YOUR KIN. I TIRE OF THIS, AND WILL HAVE MY VENGEANCE NOW!”

“Me too,” Rachel shouted, and sent lightning sizzling toward Gabriel. He dropped to the ground, then threw his shield right at her, but she slammed it with rock from the ground, sending it flying.
