The Last Dragon Chronicles: The Fire Ascending (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
The fire in the main chamber had been built up again. As I swept past and knelt beside the skull, a few flakes of ash spiralled up towards the roof. “Grella,” I whispered, half-hoping her face might appear to me, “is this you?” I ran my thumbs along what would have been her cheeks. “Are you mad?” Guinevere appeared at my side. “Put it back,” she hissed, “or there’s going to be trouble.” She is wise, said the Fain, swarming into my consciousness as if they had only just woken, too. Do not provoke the sibyl. And I was all but set to do as they wished when my gaze fell upon the cloth the skull had been resting on. To Guinevere’s dismay, I put the skull on theground and picked up the fabric. Slowly, Iunfolded it. There in my hands was the tapestry I’dstarted in Grella’s krofft. Finished. Stitched. In astonishing colours. An imageso alive I could almost fall into it.
