Paz turned her face to me and sighed. "I'm sorry that I haven't been honest with you all these years. We've been together since school, and yet I've never felt that there was a time when I could discuss my old world with you. My old life, as a dragon." She looked away from me again, still on alert.
"As a dragon?" Now I found it hard to control my breathing. "That doesn't make any sense."
The woman with the sword – the dragon killer – emerged from between two buildings and walked calmly towards us.
"What are you just waiting out in the open for?" she asked. "I was wanted you to run further and corner yourself to make it easier for me."
Paz grinned, but her confidence was so fake even I could see she was nervous. "I'm not so stupid as to try running from a dragon killer I can't see."
