Inheritor of a family vendetta, getting revenge on the dragons has side effects that raise a lot of questions.
All Aeli wanted was revenge for her father. She planned and schemed in secret, finally carrying out a plot that she had designed as a disgruntled teen.
She takes the spell to the dragon council and lets the ball go, shattering, spreading the banishment spell, and kicking all the dragons out of the city in one large cascade.
Imagine her surprise when she gets sucked out into the open wasteland outside the city, and the dragons know who is responsible for her plight.
Councillor Kreelo comes to her rescue and flies her to safety where she comes to grips with what her banishment means and how it will affect her life. She had no idea she was a dragon and thinks it is ridiculous, but how else would the spell grab her.
She needs to undo the spell so she can return to normal. If anyone in Rekker City will accept her apology.
Excerpt:
Once the matron was out of the shop, Aeli caught a glimpse of the courier delivering down the street. She walked to the front of the shop and waited. The courier pulled up to the shop and stopped.
Aeli waited while he came around and opened the side of his vehicle. The pallet of plants was what she was waiting for.
Her father came out of the shop, dusting his hands on his tunic and wiggling his fingers. “What have we here?”
“The medicinals we are low on because you used the last of them without sprouting the roots.”
He sighed. “I get a little enthusiastic.”
She grinned and nodded to the delivery man. “Can you wait and take the pallet?”
“I will pick it up tomorrow, Miss Warrok. I am under pressure to deliver to city hall before the end of the day.”
Aeli's smile tightened on her face. She could feel it. “Of course. The dragons must have their deliveries on time.”
He nodded and closed up his vehicle. “I am glad you understand. Thank you, Miss.”
Her father was talking quietly to the plants in his arms, and she picked up three pots on her own and pried the door open before walking through to the back of the shop and out into the greenhouse.
The plants would remain in quarantine until they were acclimated to their new home in Rekker City.
Grand Master Mage Norman Warrok was chuckling and talking to the new arrivals, leaving Aeli to get back to the curb to pick up the last batch of remaining plants.
She was just entering the shop when she heard a voice saying, “Where shall I put these?”
She winced at the familiar and lightly rough voice. “Councillor Kreelo, welcome.”
A chuckle came from him. “A pleasure, Miss Warrok. Now, where would you like them?”
“Please follow me. We put them in the greenhouse until we are certain they are healthy.” She led the way and talked as she went, so he could follow her voice.
“A wise practice. Is your father in?”
She forced a chuckle. “He is speaking to his plants.”
She opened the door to the greenhouse and stood aside as the dragon representative of their area passed her and found a space to put the plants.
