Chapter 19: Fire in the Hall
We walked into the great hall at sunrise, four abreast.
I wore the green dress again, creased from the floor of the tower.
Nobody had told me to, and nobody had told me not to.
The hall was full to the walls.
Every house of the Hunter blood sat along the long tables, wolf packs and dragon families and men with fox-red hair, and the students had crowded onto the balconies.
The dowager sat on her high chair with her hands folded.
Behind her stood the woman in red, pale and quiet.
"The den," said the dowager, "is a fairy tale."
"Humans burn."
"They wither inside a dragon's heat within a year, and the dragon learns what he has done, and then he is worse than before."
"I have buried two husbands and a son who learned it."
She said the last word so quietly I almost missed it.
"I'm not a fairy tale," I said.
"Then stand in the fire, child."
The candles on the walls went out all at once.
