Elliott, Kate - Crown Of Stars 1 - Plot & Excerpts
Withi's interest seemed uncouth. "I've heard a worse story," said the sergeant, settling a hand on her hip. "If you're brave enough to hear it." "I am!" He grinned. "Well, then. It was once told me that Eika came about by foul magic, and a curse. That a great dragon was killed and as it lay dying it cursed any who might dare profane its corpse. But all the women of the village had heard stories of the great power of the dragon's heart—power they could use to charm any man they wished, so they had been told. They cut open the dragon's body and pulled out the heart all bloody and steaming hot. They cut it into many pieces and shared it out between them." "They ate it?" Withi made a face, pulling away from the sergeant's casual embrace. "Ate it, every bit. And soon enough all those womenking's dragon were pregnant, and when they gave birth, they gave birth to monsters!" His audience was hushed, and every person in the hall jumped when he spoke the word "monsters." The sergeant chuckled, pleased with the success of his tale.
