66 Life and Death Bond

"The dragon's spirit," Tarah breathed, her voice barely above a whisper. She couldn't quite believe that she had successfully connected directly with the dragon spirit, bypassing both Vulcan's soul and Ezekiel's. This bond had been on her mind ever since she absorbed the magical scrolls, kept as a last resort should the need arise.

Taking this risk was a calculated decision, prompted by Queen Dana's plan to expel Vulcan's soul from Ezekiel's body. If Queen Dana succeeded, it would drastically alter the course of events Tarah had foreseen. Ezekiel would lose the power of the dragon, and the opportunity for Devon's demise at his hand would be compromised.

What she had done was a gamble and a risk, but Tarah felt relieved that she had managed to successfully connect with the dragon spirit directly, without Ezekiel and Vulcan's knowledge.
