Chapter 121: Eibhlin and Hannah
*** Kerrigan’s POV***“Eibhlin!  You came!”Kerrigan watched the little girl run up to her and take her hand. She smiled dumbly and squeezed, “Wh- What? Eibhlin? Who is Eibhlin?”“You are silly. Come and see.”Kerrigan let Reilynn wheel her after the little girl who let them to a wall with several pictures drawn in chalk.“What is your name?” Kerrigan asked.“I am Hannah, this is Maggie.” Little Hannah said, pointing to Maggie, who had followed them.“Hello, Hannah. What do we have here?” she asked gesturing at the chalk drawings.“This is Miss Cara. That one is Mr. Johnathan. We added Mr. Peter in next to miss Cara. He is nice.” Explained Maggie.Hannah pointed toward two other figures standing next to each other, “That one is you, Eibhlin, and that one is Mr. Conor.”“Me? You keep calling me, Eibhlin.

Chapter 122: "Help Her."
*** Conor POV*** 122Conor sat down hard. “I am sorry Johnathan. I didn’t even think to ask sooner what you all would need here. Are their families ok?”“Several are without power, but the city will have that fixed by the end of the day. The main issue is they live in basements, lower streets and other places that flood easily. Some still have standing water, but most just are very damp right now. Most of the town is prepared for that kind of storm. They happen often enough. But those people just cannot afford to live in better conditions.” Johnathan explained.A knock sounded on the office door. Conor nodded and Johnathan opened it to find Kerrigan and Reilynn. “Ah, ladies. Come on in if you like.”“Were we interrupting?” Kerrigan asked.“Johnathan here was just filling me in on the condition of some of the families of the kids outside. Some didn’t weather the storm as well as we mi

Chapter 123: Healing
*** Kerrigan POV***123Kerrigan lay in bed staring at the tiny bracelet. The green and black bands blended with highlights of gold thread. She remembered when Hannah had tied it around her wrist, “Now, Eibhlin, we are friends.”Hannah had handed her a set of other strings to take back with her if she wanted to make another. She looked at the colors Hannah had chosen. Blue, green, gold and black. She looked at the blue and thought of Conor’s eyes. She sighed. Since when was she a moon eyed girl thinking about a guy? She had a company to run after all. A life of her own that didn’t have time nor place for such nonsense.However, that name struck at her heart, a long forgotten memory.A knock came at the door and Evelynn came in. “Mr. Brantley would like to see you.”“I am decent, he can come in here. It will take me too long to get out there.”A minute later Conor came into the room. “May I

Chapter 124: Training on the roof
*** Conor, Jinstain. *** Colonel Eli proved to be a vicious task master. The second he learned that Kerrigan was able to walk on her own, he ordered that she come to the roof to be tested. “If the dragons cannot aid you, you must be able to defend them at all costs. It is our sacred duty.” He had said. Eli had paired Conor and Kerrigan up, along with Parker and Reilynn, Gabriella and Evelynn. As they began their initial warm ups, it became evident that while Kerrigan had training and skill, she was still suffering from her injury. She would guard her leg and cringe if her shoulder was struck. “Does it hurt?” Conor asked. “Not really. It’s more the fear of pain now. Let’s go again.” Conor enjoyed working with her. It was certainly easier than his bouts with Parker. The ease of training didn’t last long however. Soon, Eli swapped him to Reilynn, who looked like she was ready to pound him into the roof. “Begin!” Reilynn darted for

Chapter 125: Rats in the Walls
*** Breanne POV Targu Province, Temple of Abraxas*** Breanne slipped through the halls of the temple of Abraxas on silent feet. She had trained here every day of her life since she was five and knew every hall and every room better than the back of her hand. The kids who grew up here had always mastered these halls better than any one else thanks to their endless games of hid and seek, chase, and cat and mouse. Today, she was tracking Kelan Benedict.The traitorous bastard had been spotted on the trolly lift by one of her loyal guards who had alerted her. She had left Dragon Corporation and was now closing in on where that bastard had gone. Her sources had guided her to the wing where the Prima held his office. Fresh Dragoon guards patrolled the corridors now that she had never seen before. These men must be some of the Prima’s personal pets then.She twisted out of sight and down another hall and opened a small door. Brooms and buckets greet

Chapter 126: This Dragon has Wings and Claws Now
JinstainTraining that week was brutal. Conor and Kerrigan worked together every morning along with the dragoons. With each day, Kerrigan’s wounds continued to heal and her old skill and speed returned. By the end of the week, the Dragoons had little hope of keeping track of Kerrigan and Conor as they twirled in and out with their practice daggers. Their fights often took them right through the midst of the other training sessions, the dragoons cursing as a whirlwind tore between them only to have Kerrigan or Conor materialize seconds later on the other side of the roof top.When their final session ended , Conor was putting away the training blades when Kerrigan looked up at him and said, “Conor, Your Gala is coming up soon right?”“Yes, Peter is about ready to let us make it public. We have been talking to the community, and many of the major CEO’s in the area and setting everything up, but I think Monday we have a planning sessio

Chapter 127: Zelgan Dries
Kerrigan donned a black face mask. She had gotten used to wearing one in Targu Province just to help with the cold air. Now it helped mask her identity to some degree. She also put on her knee high boots and a light gray sweater. She liked this outfit that Evelynn had gotten her, but she was thrilled to finally get a chance to have some clothes tailored to her again. Most of what Evelynn picked out tended to hide her figure, not complement it. She wondered if it was intentional on Evelynn’s part. She made her way out into the hallway, still marveling that she was able to do this under her own power again. Her hand went to Abraxas’s pendent.             ‘I will find a way to restore your power.’             Only a gentle brush of consciousness reassured her he still resided within the stone.         &nbs

Chapter 128: Memory lane
*** CONOR’s POVWhen Mr. Dries was done with Conor’s new suit measurements, he promised he would have it ready for him in a few days and delivered to Vokrizin. Conor headed to the front of the store to wait for Kerrigan. After they had been in the store for over an hour, Kerrigan emerged. At first, Conor though she was wearing something similar to what she had come in with, but soon realized her new sweeter dress was black and tailor fit and followed her figure beautifully. She had new tan knee high leather boots over black pants and had a long tan coat that matched his suit. She had a new scarf as well with swirls of green that made her eyes pop.“Wow.” Was all he could say.Carlos chuckled, “I think we did well if that is all he can come up with. The rest, my dear will be ready soon and we can have it sent to you.”“Thank you, Carlos. You and your team were amazing.” Kerrigan said“Other thing

Chapter 129: Kerrigan's Delight
As they headed back to Vokrizen, Kerrigan let out a small squeal of delight. “OOOO please stop the car and pull into that little shopping center!!” “What is it?” Conor asked, perplexed. “You will see. Come.” Parker turned in and found a spot, jumping out to open the door for Conor and Kerrigan. Conor watched as Kerrigan giddily made her way over to a small shop he had never noticed before. “I know its random, but… well indulge me, please,” She said. Conor smiled at her genuine joy as she opened the door and slipped inside. Conor looked at Reilynn who just shrugged saying, “I tend to not argue with her. Parker and I can handle guarding the door. Go on.” Conor opened the door and stepped into another world. The air hung heavy with the smell of wood shavings, varnish and dust. The hammered-tin ceiling shone high overhead, while open sided wood cases lined the walls, filled with violins, violas, guitars and mandolins of every color and des

Chapter 130: Dating advice
When Conor dropped them off at Vokrizin,  Kerrigan felt a small pang of loneliness at his departure. She knew it was silly, he would be back Monday at the latest. But still, he had been genuinely warm to be around. She hugged her new violin to her chest as she walked into the building and waited for the elevator, Evelynn and Reilynn flanking her. “So, what do you think is the best way to a man’s heart?” she asked suddenly. “Thinking about our new friend, the philanthropist CEO, Mr. Brantley?” Evelynn asked coyly. “He would be a decent catch from what I can see.” Kerrigan did her best to suppress a blush. “He is rather good with the kids, and it is amazing what he is doing here. So how about it, what is the best way to a man’s heart?” “Between the fourth and fifth rib normally works best for me.” Said Reilynn. “I am not trying to kill him, I am trying to date him, you loveless gargoyle.” Kerrigan retorted. Evelynn smirked, “I alway
