Fever - Selina Brinkmann (short novels to read .TXT) 📗

we will try to secure two of the buildings. It should be enough to keep some dozen safe.”

Roan nodded. “But make sure you are not depending on too many mors for supply. If they decide that it would be fun to see you guys struggle then there isn’t too much we can do from over the ocean.”

Drake accepted his advice with a short nod. “I went over some ideas but I will decide later with my team how we will do it.” Typing something in he looked up when Roan cleared his throat.

“A few months back we had an attack in New Terra. Someone from our own had given codes through to the government and opened the gates.” He decided to not include how Evy was the first who was admitted after the shutdown of the gates. “We are training our telepaths to detect if anybody coming new to our sanctuaries means us harm. The telepath would have to be a level four or higher but I might be able to send someone over to train them. “

Drake thanked Roan for his offer but asked in return. “So do you use the rating system that your government developed?”

“Not entirely. We created categories now and made it a bit more detailed. Telepath four for example means that they can receive and send acting like a radio station. And they can do that for quite long time without feeling the impact.”

“Maybe you can send someone over who can also categorize my guys then.”

“Not you?”

Grinning Drake exclaimed, “I doubt that you and me are even on a scale.”

“Still doing the little fire trick then?”

With a snap of his fingers Drake produced a small flame. Making sure Roan was paying attention he brought it to his lips. The fire was absorbed and with a roar he breathed a blazing flame.

Hearing Taylor gasp Roan just said, “He does it every time. Bloody dragon can’t resist to play with us.”

Her eyes widened and she whispered. “So it’s not just a tale. Dragons exist!”

“I do. Have no clue how many other grow a tail and wings now.”

Seeing how fascinated Taylor was Roan leaned closer to her and whispered in her ear. “Seriously I thought that you are grown up. And that you have seen enough by now to not surprise you.”

“But” she pointed at the smirking Drake on the screen “He is a bloody dragon. It is like a freaking fairy-tale.”

Roan just turned back to Drake and stated “We will talk later again. I doubt that my second in command will get any work done if she keeps on fascinating about dragons.”

Protesting Taylor turned her back to them “I am not that fascinated. And just so you know no woman likes men who brag!” and muttered “But our world has really changed. I wouldn’t be surprised if we soon have some fairies flying around.”

The two men looked at each other and with a short notice that they would try calling again later the week to arrange more stuff and give Roan a plan of the territory and layout they ended the call.

Wiping his eyebrow Roan couldn’t hold it any longer. “Bloody hell. I really thought that he was still with that snake Chamerley. Good for him to finally do his own thing.”

“That sounds really nice. But what did Drake meant when he asked you about the funding for our resort.”

“Nothing special. Trust me.” He tried to avoid her gaze but gave up when she poked into his chest.

“Ok I still do some missions from certain members of the military if they ask me. It brings in money.”

“So you haven’t cut all bonds with those mors.” Taylor narrowed her eyes at him.

“No I keep contacts among the governments and senators. By doing so I can ask for favours in return and funding.”

“But you are the one who warns us not to do anything with them.”

“Because I don’t want my guys making friendly with all of them. There are those who truly support the death sentence petition and think it is proper to do it their selves if they stumble upon one of us. And then there are the ones who would try to seize control through our power or to completely destroy us.”

“So not all the mors are against us.”

“It is a bit more problematic. Like the villages nearby there are some who don’t have anything against us and are even willing to help us. But as far as I know there are two parties who are both trying to get rid of us. There might be more but they haven’t yet shown their true faces.”

“If Riaz was member of one group who are the others?”

“The guy Drake mentioned, Chamerley, is one of the other groups but I have to talk to Drake again to find out who is supporting him and why.”

Taylor nodded understanding and promised not to tell the others for now. Because as Roan stated, “Some of us hate the mors very much because of their hunt. I don’t want to cause a havoc among our kind and I certainly don’t want to be seen as an aggressor. Therefore giving man like Chamerley a reason to attack.”
