Chosen By The Dragon Kings novel Chapter 39

“That’s a dragon trait, not a fae one,” he says looking at Silas.

“Must be her mark” he answers, and it kind of makes sense. Silas pulls on my hand, wanting me to get up when I shake my head.

“Are you going to answer me?” I ask, looking to Dragus, his eyes instantly snapping to Silas for permission. Silas growls and I suddenly feel the bond go quiet and I know they have put their walls up blocking me out. They would not answer.

“It’s nothing you need to worry about right now” Matitus answers, but I knew they were lying. Silas tugs on my hand and I pull it back. “I’m not going anywhere until you tell me what’s going on,” I tell them. Silas breathing becomes heavy, and I can feel his anger radiating out of him, threatening to suffocate us. Standing up, I reach in his pocket and grab the key to the safe. He grips my wrist tightly.

“It’s the book isn’t it” I ask, looking at Matitus and Dragus when they don’t answer.

“Give me the key,” I tell Silas, but his grip only tightens and for a second I thought he was going to break it, when Matitus gives in and I am pretty sure it’s because he was worried Silas was about to hurt me.

“We need a magical sacrifice” My eyes snap to Matitus and Silas growls behind me.

“A magical sacrifice?”

“Yes, only the oracle can break the curse or spirit user” Matitus says. My mind instantly going to Abigail. She was a witch was she a spirit user though and when they say sacrifice do they mean to kill them.

“So, you need a witch or an oracle?”

“No, a witch is bound to their element and there are no witches left anyway so a new oracle can’t exist.”

“So that means?” I ask, confused where he was going with this.

“The book says only the blood sacrifice of the oracle can break the curse or a powerful magical sacrifice.”

“I still don’t understand, why would I be mad about that?” I ask.

“Because the Oracle doesn’t exist to break the curse, means we would need a fae to give up their magic, because besides, an oracle. fae are the only spirit users. Dragon magic can’t be sacrificed because we charge from the fire element, mermaids water, witches earth. The angel was air. Except the oracle, fae are spirit users. The oracle is also a spirit user without an oracle that leaves only a fae to break the curse.”

“So, you need my blood? And what else?” I ask, trying to remember how the pentagram balance worked.

“For the oracle to break the curse, we need her blood sacrifice and the blood of the night and light, so vampire or werewolf because they are cursed to the moon in a way and humans are light. It’s the same way they created the balance that created the treaty. Blood from each element and blood of the moon and sun binding us all to stick to the treaty.”

“Then how did the treaty break?”

“Because a spirit user broke the balance.”

“How?” I ask looking at Silas who looked extremely uncomfortable, and his aura was deadly.
