Hidden Flame: Bound to the Triplet Dragon Kings

**Avery**

Based on what happened to Anton, someone had been tampering with the well which must have spooked the cattle.

Conner seems to think that I am some type of superhero because he suggested that I go look around the well. I thought

that he was crazy until we got there. “Guys, I feel weird.”

They each embraced me and I felt better. When my hand touched the lid of the well, I felt dizzy as a vision formed in my

mind. I saw hooded figures appear out of thin air. They pulled vials and herbs out from under their black and dark red

cloaks. I heard them chant in an unfamiliar language but parts of it I seemed to recognize. I must have said it out loud

because Conner said, “Nox affer. Exstingue lucem. Draconis fuga necatur. But that means, bring the night, extinguish the

light, kill the dragon’s flight. Avery…Avery come back to us.” Then he kissed me which made the vision fade.

“Avery, did you see who chanted that?” Cassius asks. I nodded and told them what I saw and heard. Cassius embraced

me and said, “You and Conner can purify the water supply. Clint and I will go into the human world to restock every tribe

member’s households.”

I look up at him. “What if someone in the tribe was one of those figures or is responsible for them attacking our tribe?”

He lowered himself so that he was at eye level with me. One of his eyes and one of Asher’s now looked back at me as he

asked, “If that is true, could you sense them?”

I chewed my lip, “Maybe. Since I am linked to Tiamat we know that I am not normal.”

He growled before he kissed me passionately. The other brothers pressed their bodies to mine and each kissed me.
