Chapter Text
Interlude – Queens and Dragons “Ferris Thycarl.”
Interlude – Queens and Dragons No rank, no affiliation. Rafaema didn’t ask further. She knew what he was. People liked to joke that Manus was full of war-minded idiots, but the training schools in the City of War produced more than just officers and [Strategists]. Some, like Ferris, performed duties in secret. But he had to be good, if he knew who she was.
Interlude – Queens and Dragons Ferris had to grin at that. He bowed, slightly.
Interlude – Queens and Dragons The Gnoll who called himself Ferris paused. He was smart, because he didn’t waste time.
Interlude – Queens and Dragons That was all Ferris said. No ‘is that wise?’ or ‘what do you think?’. He was trained not to ask those questions. If he had an opinion…
Interlude – Queens and Dragons “How much do you report to your superiors, Ferris? I remember one of your people said you have to make a weekly report on how I’m feeling. And of course, you’re the one responsible for me. Rather than a team. Because I’m old enough not to need one.”
Interlude – Queens and Dragons Ferris paused. He thought about his reply and went for the truth. Which was wise—Rafaema could cast spells as well as many [Mages] and she’d mastered [Detect Lies] long ago.
Interlude – Queens and Dragons Ferris’ gaze flickered.
Interlude – Queens and Dragons Rafaema’s eyes glinted. Ferris nodded. Keeping her happy was an important job. He’d been chosen for it.
Interlude – Queens and Dragons Ferris sighed through his nose. He straightened, adopting a military pose for a moment as he clasped his paws behind his back.
Interlude – Queens and Dragons She paused. Rafaema went to the battlements overlooking Manus. She stood there, on the inner walls. Then she looked suddenly at Ferris.
Interlude – Queens and Dragons “Do your books tell you about Dragonspeaker Telimer, Ferris?”
Interlude – Queens and Dragons She was in a bad mood. Ferris’ fur tried to stand up on end. Rafaema stared across her city, moodily. There was an outer city as well; Manus’ outer walls had only been taken twice. The Walled City was huge. But it felt small to her.
Interlude – Queens and Dragons Rafaema looked at Ferris and he went quiet. She was the image of a Drake. If you stared at her shadow, it was just her. She wasn’t concealing anything. Her body was the size of a Drake. But the magic only went so far. Her eyes sparked.
Interlude – Queens and Dragons “I didn’t step outside the keep until I was fifty years old. And when I did, they put an entire army on watching me. I like Manus, Ferris. I really do. I know how much I owe the city…did they tell you what I did for my eightieth birthday?”
