Chapter 5 Wingtips & Wonder
Chapter five
Wingtips the tale continued on as if that year of time never happened.
I snapped the book closed in frustration. Every single text skipped that particular year, when he would have traveled through Washington. If my calculations were correct, and I was certain they were, Glacius must have passed through Willowmere on his way to Alaska.
So what had he been doing here all that time?
Since I had arrived in this small town, I had seen neither scale nor talon of any ice dragons. At first I thought Mei’s ancestors could have fought him off, but then I learned the fire drakes had only moved here a few years ago, so that was impossible.
I had tried asking a few discreet questions, but the answers I got were brief and unhelpful—if the person bothered to answer at all, instead of hurrying away while throwing worried glances over their shoulder at me.
How was I supposed to find the truth if I couldn’t get anyone to talk to me?
Well, there was one person in Willowmere who might answer my questions. But if my fleet ever found out I was working with a fire drake… I shuddered.
I’d better make sure they never found out.
