\u201cI might feel differently after a night sleeping in an actual bed.\u201d The room settled into quiet as they all turned in after the long day. Outside, the sounds of Spayton continued, the creak of wagons, the distant calls of merchants, the rasp of iron on stone as guards walked their rounds. Asher? Can you hear me? But the only voice she heard in her head was her own. Sleep came slowly, if at all.<\/p>\n

The ceiling above her offered no answers, only shadows, and Ny Keena found herself listening to the beat of her own heart, steady but anxious, echoing the truth she could not ignore: their mission teetered on a blade\u2019s edge, and tomorrow, she might have to sharpen it with her own pride. OceanofPDF.com Chapter Eighteen S THE FIRST LIGHT of dawn crept over the rooftops of Spayton, it washed the gray stones in pale gold, chasing shadows from the crooked alleys and cloaking the city in a hush of promise and peril.<\/p>\n

The air held a bite of morning chill, scented with damp stone, fading smoke from hearth fires, and the faint tang of the river that curved like a silver ribbon beyond the eastern walls. In the hushed hour before the city fully woke, Ny Keena and Darrion slipped from the modest inn with the quiet grace of those who wished to go unnoticed.<\/p>\n

oth had warned them to be cautious, and she knew why. Roth was well known here and knew this town, and though she herself was a new rider, Darrion\u2019s past training had been in Hodu, far from Spayton and Oldeton. The chances of him being recognized here were slim. Their footfalls were muffled on the dew-slicked cobblestones, each step purposeful but unhurried.<\/p>\n

They wore the illusion of simplicity well. Travelers, no more. A husband and wife with a cart full of grain and a future to sell. Darrion\u2019s hand brushed hers as they rounded a corner, a gesture too slight to be noticed by any onlooker but grounding to them both. Beneath their placid exteriors, purpose smoldered. Stayton was not a city that welcomed secrets.<\/p>\n

OceanofPDF.com OceanofPDF.com T Chapter One HE LARGE CHAMBER WAS steeped in shadows and smoke, lit only by the flickering tongues of flame dancing on the coals in the iron braziers spaced along the curved walls. The scent of burning cedar mingled with the deeper musk of damp stone, a scent as old as the Caldera itself. The rooms\u2019 occupants were shielded from the outside sounds of the Caldera\u2019s commotion by thick stone walls, as Insurgent forces returned from their encounter with the Parsan Dragon Rider\u2019s Guild at the border town of Dama.<\/p>\n

Some bloodied, some bearing news, all watched over by weary sentinels and restless dragons. And still more came, refugees fleeing through secret passes in the mountains, helped by the Insurgency, their lives reduced to bundles and memories. The Caldera, ancient and volcanic, had always been a place of sanctuary, but now it swelled to bursting with those seeking shelter from the Dragon Rider Guild’s wrath. The refugees were housed in the numerous empty rooms and caverns held within the walls of The Caldera, the secret base of operations of The Insurgents.<\/p>\n

The Council of the Insurgency stood around the chamber deep in discussion.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
