Chapter 2 Excerpt:

“Will, I am not your enemy here. Not only am I here to assess you, but to offer my services as a dragon mentor. There are… so many things I could teach you. Wouldn’t you like to feel in control of yourself and not afraid of the monster inside?”

Will finally looked into Hannibal’s eyes, seeing the danger in them and the seductive power, and let out a shaky breath.

“Why me?” Will asked, truly puzzled. He understood why Hannibal had been called in. He just didn’t understand why someone of Hannibal’s caliber would even want to try to mentor him. It made no sense to him.

Hannibal let out a soft sigh and admitted, “Professionally, it’s because I always try to help turned dragons since they have no one else to trust, no one else to help guide them.” He then offered his hand for a shake. “Personally, it’s because you interest me Will. I see the potential in you. And I am anxious to see you stretch your magnificent wings and conquer the skies and beyond.”

Feeling no more hesitation, the young dragon whispered, “Ok.”

“All you need to do is ask it of me. And I will assist,” Hannibal murmured, still holding his hand out.

When Will reached out and took hold of the older dragon’s hand, he felt like he was 1) signing his life away to the Devil, and 2) in for a most exciting and horrifyingly exquisite future.
