"Hey, hey, I'm lost here. What does the king mean by that?" one of Zara's friends blurted out. The others shared his confusion.
Wasn't the boy already a dragon?
This was the Dragon Realm, and only dragons had access to this place. It had been that way for centuries and would remain so for centuries to come. So what did the king mean—
Before the thought could settle, all five of them snapped their heads toward Zara, who had abruptly stood up. Just like them, she was caught off guard by her father's words.
What did he mean by that?
She had never heard of a human turning into a dragon before. Just what was her father planning?
Zara felt the piercing gazes of her friends stabbing into her back like daggers, demanding an explanation. She sighed. Her father had already exposed the truth—there was no point in hiding it anymore. Besides, these five were people she trusted with her life.
