Not that there are too many surprises—Ram effectively told me the gist of it. But hearing it from my father, who lived it and loved her, something settles in the pit of my stomach—the determination to see her dreams fulfilled, to carry on her legacy, and all that.My father brings in meat and we eat while he finishes his explanation. “Eudora still wants to use the serum. She still wants to defeat the last of the dragons, to purge the earth of us.”“That’s why Ion was trying to capture me, instead of just killing me?”“Precisely.”“Why didn’t Ion insert the serum into me? He’s had plenty of opportunities.”Ram clears his throat. “Eggs?”My father looks thoughtful. “Faye told me everything she could recall about Eudora’s plans, about her philosophies. Eudora claimed she wanted to destroy all dragons, but she also tried very hard to convert Faye. It was almost as though she wanted a follower, more than she wanted to destroy her.”“And look at Ion,” I point out between bites of meat.
