“Did you survive the flight, Fidelity? Domi thought as she walked along the shadowy streets. Do you wait for me here? This was an old neighborhood, and this was an old city, an ancient port on the edge of the Commonwealth. Some of the houses here predated the Commonwealth itself. They were built of wattle and daub, the timbers dark and chipped, and their roofs were triangular and tiled, not the clay domes of those houses the Temple had built across the realm. Lantern poles rose at every street c...orner, and flames flickered within the glass panels of their lamps. Domi could not yet see the ocean ahead, but she heard its whispers calling to her, and she smelled the salt on the air, a smell that triggered so many memories that she shivered. "They'll be here, Domi," Cade said softly. He patted her hand. "Fidelity and Roen are swift dragons, faster and stronger than any drake." She nodded silently. Cade could not understand her, she knew. He had no memories of the lamplight against the wet cobblestones, the sound of waves, the smell of salt, but to her Lynport was a place of an older life.MoreLessRead More Read Less
