  Lugus had spent weeks locating where the rare blue dragons were. It had been a surprise for Ahryn after their wedding. He had just thought she had been emotional at the wedding, but once she discovered his surprise she had cried for hours.

  He grinned inwardly and loosened his hold on her as he climbed atop the mountain. He reached down and helped her.

  “Now I know why you wanted to climb it instead of using our magic,” Ahryn said from beside him.

  Lugus nodded as he looked out over the vast mountains and endless stretch of blue sky and mist swirled around the tallest of the mountain tops.

  “I’ve never seen anything so beautiful,” she said in awe. “I don’t think I ever want to leave.”

  “We don’t have to,” he said and moved to stand behind her. He wrapped his arms around her and rested his chin on his chest. “Are you ready?”

  “For what?”

  “Listen,” he whispered.

  Just on the tip of the wind it reached them, the beating of a dragon’s wings as it soared through the air. Lugus searched the skies until he found the small dark blue dragon.

  “There,” he said and pointed to their right.

  She sucked in a breath as she spotted the dragon. “You found them.”

  “No, my love. We found them.”

  She turned her head and Lugus bent down to claim her lips. He deepened the kiss and was about to lay her on the ground when he heard someone clear their throat behind them. Reluctantly, Lugus pulled away and turned to find Theron.

  “Brother, I said you could meet us here, but I would have thought you would realize now wasn’t a good time.”

  Theron chuckled. “With the way you two are always occupied, I’d never be able to speak.”

  Lugus could tell by Theron’s pinched mouth that something was wrong. “What is it?”

  “We’ve received a message from Draconia. Tane is in trouble.”

  Lugus glanced at Ahryn, and at her nod turned to Theron. “Then we must go.”

  “Be careful,” Theron said and then was gone.

  Lugus turned to Ahryn. “I’m sorry, love.”

  “Don’t be. We owe Tane, and if he is in trouble, then we need to help him. We’ll come back here.”

  “Aye,” Lugus said as he took another look at the magnificent blue dragon. “We’ll not only come back, but we’ll build our house here.”

  “And raise our children.”

  His eyes slowly moved to Ahryn’s. “Children?”

  “Children,” she repeated, a huge smile on her face.
