"What happened to Morris?" Mary asked.

"Crushed under a falling dragon," Roy answered.

Mary blinked at him. "Crushed by a dragon?"

He nodded. "The previous owner of this mansion. There are large caverns under the house where Walter Zhao could drop his glamor and stretch out his wings. He couldn't fly down there, but he could be what he was." At Mary's incredulous stare, he continued. "There aren't a lot of dragons left."

"What... what happened to this one?"

Roy scowled. "Walter was a slippery one. He tried to do something I'm not at liberty to talk about, under a Hidden Races Council edict. Trust me when I say it was evil on a level that makes Hitler look like a schoolyard bully. Caught us all off guard... except for the witch-"

"Ok, who is this witch you keep talking about?" Mary said in frustration.

"I'll not speak her name as that might draw her attention," Roy snapped.

Mary gave Roy an evaluating look. "Superstitious?

"Cautious," he grumbled. "Listen, if you want more inf

    She nodded and closed her eyes again. Frowning, she recalled the meeting and her mind jumped to kissing him in the entranceway to Sandy's condo. Her frown slipped into a smile. She opened her eyes and there was Henry smiling at her."Oh! You're you!" she squealed excitedly. She looked to the doorway. "Michelle!" The woman beamed a smile at her. Dayshia looked to the two who had been Succubus and Incubus moments before. "Marisa! Oh, hello! Youaretall, dark and dreamy! Enchanté indeed!" she purred as she looked at Nate. He grinned back at her.Finally, she let herself look to Mahati and sighed. "You don't look like a snake lady anymore.""What am I wearing?" Mahati insisted for proof."Dark blue suit jacket over a crisp white blouse and matching blue skirt. Black, tall boots," Dayshia said in relief. Henry was smiling at her with a thoughtful look, and she caught it. "What?""It makes me wonder what else you can do with yo

    He got up and made his way to the doorway, but passing by Camila, she caught his hand."Is everything all right?" she asked.He smiled down at her and Sigrid who were seated next to each other at the dining table. "Yes, I'm ok. I'm just feeling a little tired, so I thought I'd get a little more fresh air before I went to bed." He kissed Camila's hand then lifted Sigrid's to kiss hers as well. Their eyes happily twinkled as he turned to head towards the back of the house.When he opened the back door, he noticed the air temp had dropped, so he pulled a hooded cloak from a nearby closet. While he didn't feel the cold, he knew he had to keep up appearances. Not that there was any expectation of being seen in the private backyard. Still, a good habit to build. He pulled it on but wore it open as he walked outside and followed the path once more to the gazebo. It was quickly becoming his favorite place on the property.He sat next to the railing this time so he could look up at the stars.

    Henry's rising cock was trapped under Tish pressing against her firm ass cheeks. When he pulled the hem of her dress up, he quickly discovered she wasn't wearing panties.Tish pulled back from the kiss and raised herself to let his cock slap against his stomach. Now she began rubbing herself along its length, and her eyes widened nervously. "Shit! You are big!" She recalled Dayshia's comments about anacondas, but her perception had never indicated this. "How did you hide this?" she gasped quietly.Henry's body was trembling with need as Tish continued to rub her wetness up and down the underside of his cock. "Camila said... my glamor... it adjusts based on the needs of the observer." He squeezed her ass tighter as he stroked her against his cock faster."Oh fuck, Henry! That feels so good, but I need you inside me! If it fits," she finished with a tremble in her voice."We're Satyrs, or Fauns if you prefer. We were built for this," he growled with need. He lifted her effortlessly as s

    "What's wrong?" Sigrid asked as she settled in on the other side."I've gotten used to having my mattress on the floor. Regular beds feel too high now but this one..."She snorted softly and cuddled in against his side. He glanced down at her head on his chest and settled back and the pillow. This was definitely more comfortable than the couch downstairs, but his mind wasn't ready to settle down yet.He was going to find out tomorrow what the Queen wanted in return for the glamors, and he knew, whatever it was, he'd pay it for the sake of his friends.He owed them that much.It took two large SUV's to carry all of the people accompanying Henry to the Queen's Manhattan residence. They pulled into the underground parking and took the ramps to the lowest public level where a gate blocked the next ramp. A surly looking goon stood guard. Roy showed the card Henry handed to him and gestured to the truck following them. The guard returned the card with a nod and raised the gate for them to c

    Henry shifted uncomfortably. "Her transformation may have happened that way because I was in contact with her during her entire change." At her raised eyebrow, he sighed in exasperation. "I'm not a wielder! I don't understand how magic works! I don't even want to know how it works. I'm happy to leave it to you!"She nodded as she agreed magic was for wielders to control."You've brought me three... individuals who need glamors. If I do this for you, I expect three favors in return."Henry felt Mahati's hand rest lightly on his shoulder, and he closed his mouth as he'd been about to agree."These favors must be defined in scope if not in substance," the lawyer said in her calm, professional manner."Scope?" Mab said, her eyes locked on Mahati's. Henry felt a pressure building between the two women. Wills were clashing."Yes. The favors cannot, in any way, impinge upon Henry's physical or mental freedom. They must not, in any way, endanger him physically or mentally. And those two condi

    The four Fae wobbled and opened their eyes to glare at the woman on the bench."What happened?" Marisa asked as Queen Mab watched with interest.Joren spoke for them. "You were correct regarding the level of magic for this one. It will only take three mages to protect a fourth who does the work of implanting and binding the glamor. However, her will is abnormally strong. She must allow us in to complete this work!"Tish snorted. "Dayshia? Strong-willed?"The woman in question fixed an eye on her friend. "Hush you! They just caught me off-guard. Now that I know what to expect I should be ok."Joren traded a look with the Queen but received no sympathy from her. He nodded and gestured to the three others who would be his protection. He fixed a stern eye on his patient. "You must work with us, not against us."Marisa leaned over her slightly with a gentle smile. "Remember they are giving you what you want and need. Concentrate on the photo and soak in all of the details," she coached. Da

    Kesini lifted her gently and centered her on the bench. For anyone watching, it looked like Sandy was levitating. Camila made a mental note to speak to Sandy about how Kesini should behave."Shall we proceed with the final glamor binding?" Mab asked."We need a brief respite to recharge, my Queen," Joren replied wearily.She pouted but saw there was nothing for it. "Brief?""Certainly no more than thirty minutes.""You have twenty," she said with finality. She wanted her third favor sewn up, and there was a party to host. Her other guests would begin to grow restless."Yes, my Queen," he said and backed away with a bow. She returned to her chair under the umbrella beside the little table, and Joren returned to the mages. As a group, they dropped to the grass to meditate or sleep. The ones who had yet to participate looked at their colleagues with worried expressions. They kept glancing over at Tish then over to Henry who was back by the entrance of the room by a bench where Marisa was

    "STOP THAT!" Kallish's voice boomed.Tish felt the anger and fear from the mages as they prepared to complete their work."DO NOT CALL UPON THE MAGIC!" Kallish snapped.Tish hadn't been aware she was doing that but felt a thrill course through her to think she had."Prepare the image. We will bind the glamor now," Kallish growled, but Tish could feel his fear. She could sense all of their fear.Then the white-hot pain of the binding was the only thing filling her awareness. Marisa shunted some of the pain away, and Tish's mind came back to her. She wasn't sure how long she'd been out."Now! The image, quickly! We cannot hold this much longer!" The mage's voice showed the strain they faced. Tish pushed the image of herself onto the blank glamor, and the Fae sighed in relief as they fled her mind immediately.Then it was just Tish and Marisa, who remained to pull her attention to the trigger for the glamor. Tish felt two, but Marisa indicated for her to leave the second one alone, for n

    They stopped at the guardhouse where a startled looking soldier stared at them, then just waved them through. They returned to the building with the auditorium. The Colonel, the General, Hugh, and the lab coats were waiting for them. Corporal Dane handed the camera back to the technician, who accepted it excitedly. He immediately reviewed the recording and made excited sounds to his colleagues.The General was trying to school his expression but wasn't too successful."How... how are you feeling, son?" he asked softly from his tight throat.The big marine saluted him with a wide smile. "I feel really good, sir! So much better than I was after the explosion and maybe better than my best day."Hugh's expression was satisfied. "I know a lot of other soldiers who might appreciate the same chance."Mick stepped forward. "Sir, what we saw today was just short of a miracle. His body rejected the conversion, and we almost lost him. The injury he sustained created a break in the flow, and he a

    Gordon took in the ribbons pinned to the marine's dress uniform. He'd done some pretty impressive things in his career. He stepped forward and returned the man's salute. "I'm Colonel Gordon Crane.""Gunnery Sergeant Christopher Endale."Gordon smiled and gestured to the soldiers, who were now all smiling at him. "I suppose your security clearance has been escalated to allow you to witness this, so let me introduce you to my squad. Up until yesterday, they were a group of highly trained human soldiers. We were charged with capturing a small group of Silver People. Instead, my people got turned into Silver People themselves. They're still the same soldiers, but you can't really call them human any longer. Not that they've complained.""We can run so fast!" Yablonski gushed.The squad burst into chuckles, and the marine's eyes widened at the odd sound."Maybe discipline has been affected," Crane grumbled, and his squad snapped to attention as the argument was over and the two men returne

    "I'm not at my peak either. I had to use a fair amount to deal with Carl de Bellisle. But I don't intend to fight Nuru. I don't want her job!" she exclaimed.Sigrid snorted in amusement, and the phone chirped. Camila pressed the button. "Yes?""Your 9 AM is here," Felix said."Thank you. Please send them in."Sigrid stood to face the door as Camila joined her. "Remember our visit to Walter's cavern?" the blond asked quietly, and Camila nodded as she smiled at Nuru, who strode in with her bodyguards at her sides. They shut the door.The waves of energy radiating from the leader confirmed Camila's guess that she'd been overfeeding in preparation for this meeting. She sighed, as in contrast, Camila held back on her output the best she could. She forced a smile onto her lips."Greetings, Nuru Onwudiwe," Camila began and bowed her head to the other woman."Camila Villamor, you are not presenting the excess of power you did the other night," Nuru snapped.Camila looked up and nodded.

    Keeping the destination drop zone in his mind, he opened the tear, and Henry fell through to drop three feet to the grass below. The back of his head landed on the small brass commemorative plate bolted to the stone next to the bushes. Xiong winced but quickly closed the tear as he saw the beam of a flashlight approaching.He hoped their friend was okay as they'd asked so much from him. He looked back to the pile of charred remains. Something shiny caught his attention. It was up where Henry's head had been. Xiong reached down and lifted the crystal ganglion from the ground. His body must have rejected it after he was healed.Xiong couldn't inform Henry that he no longer had their transplanted capacity to wield magic. He also had no idea how Henry got it out yet completed his spell.He looked to the others. "We will bury these remains in the forest glade to honor our friend, Henry."A feeling of joy and love washed through him from the others. The Glass People loved the idea, as they

    He felt Xiong withdrawing, and through the magic in him, he picked up snippets of a conversation Xiong was having with all of the other Glass People. The volume was a bit overwhelming as there were so many voices, and they were upset. They seemed to be talking about making him a Glass Person because of his injuries. To save him. Xiong was trying to tell them it wouldn't work as he'd already been subjected to the same energies, and he wasn't glass now.Henry was beginning to get seriously worried. How badly was he hurt? He felt someone close by and reached out to the mind. It was one of the Silver People.It physically touched him, and he linked minds with the young female. Concepts and perceptions were flowing through their link. She was sad. She'd heard he was the hero who'd saved all of the people on this planet and many on Earth. He imagined looking through her eyes at him, and she allowed it.He saw his Human glamor, and he looked no worse for wear. That was a relief. He dropped t

    Crane shrugged. "I might have gotten more information, but Palmer's team decided to make his attempt at capturing my team.""You informed your team to run. They're now on the loose," Palmer asserted."No, they've gone to ground and will contact me tomorrow. They're still my squad. They remain devoted to the mission, as do I," Gordon asserted."But they won't come in," Baines growled."Yes, they'll come in, but not if they're going to be experimented on. Fully human soldiers would behave the same way under this threat, and there's no need for it. They've already proven they'll tell us everything we need to know." He locked eyes with the General. "Having a squad of bulletproof soldiers able to move faster than we can register with our eyes gives us one hell of an advantage, wouldn't you say? And remember, we know how to make more."That got through to the man."I'd personally like to speak to one of these Silver People," said the man with the crooked smile.Crane nodded. "We saw a repor

    "Status report, Mick," Crane commanded through his mic. Their radios were shielded, so they still worked.The sergeant was still a little overwhelmed by the shared emotions, but she pulled it together and answered. "Colonel. The pseudo-clouds appear to be dead. The strike zone of the last prolonged bolt is too energized for us to enter. In the center of this zone is a body. We can't get close enough to make a positive identification or to determine if the person is alive or not. It looks to be a male based on body shape and clothing. The area is sprouting new growth unnaturally fast. Grasses and flowers are actually growing before our eyes. The four Silver People we met in Tennessee were here before we arrived, and they showed us how lightning affects the plant life where it strikes."And how exactly did they do that?" Crane asked, weariness in his tone.Mick felt a little uneasy with what she was about to confess, but she pushed ahead. "Uh, it seems we can speak mind to mind if we ho

    As he got closer, he could feel every hair on his body beginning to stand on end. Little sparks were jumping between the strands, and he could taste something metallic. The rain was picking up, as was the wind, and soon he was drenched. The closer Henry got, the brighter the sparks snapping across his body became. It felt like his entire body was being pricked by pins and needles. The woman suddenly looked up at him and stopped with a look of fear on her face, clutching her child to her side.Henry looked closely at her and realized her hair was as soaked as his, but hers wasn't attracting the sparks at all.He looked past the woman and saw the tiny sparks leaping through the gap between himself and the approaching storm. He was a lightning rod! FUCK! He had to get away from her and the children! He spotted two young men running by."STOP!" he roared, and they froze in fear. "Help her get her children to cover!" he ordered, and they rushed to her and got her moving, one pushing her ca

    "Shit!" Crane exclaimed.Sam looked at his friends then back to the Colonel. "These things duking it out over a city would not be good. I don't know what effect the lightning would have on people, but I can't imagine it would be good." A sudden pang of guilt made him look to the new Silver People they'd made. "You should know, we get our energy from the lightning. I guess it's how we eat."Jake scowled at Sam, but he just shrugged. He wasn't about to let them starve to death.Brenda and Jeannie went back into the barn and returned with handfuls of the silver strips, handing them out to the soldiers. Brenda took the remaining strips back to the barn when they no longer melted into the soldier's skin."We have to leave," the Colonel said, looking at Sam."That's cool with us. It's up to you what happens to your people. We're just going to keep running as that's what feels best. We won't interfere with you. I'd like to ask that you do the same for us, but maybe you don't have that author
