"So you're saying the dragon that kidnapped you has been arrested by the city guard?" Mira asked, looking confused.
"Exactly, and I need you to help him get out. He offered to pay for the damages, but they said it's an ancient relic."
Mira placed her hand on Esme's forehead. "You don't seem to have a cold, but you keep talking nonsense."
'How could the city guards apprehend a dragon?'
Esme shook her hand off and frowned. "Wise doesn't just go around bearing people up for no reason. He's not like most dragons…"
"I see…" Mira paused and observed her closely. "So you befriended the dragon that kidnapped you?"
Once again, Mira was surprised by Esme's words. Not only did she speak so candidly of him, she was also actively defending him.
Esme did seem to be telling the truth. But a calm dragon? That was nearly impossible. Dragons were proud, brash and volatile in nature.
'I'll have to see him for myself.'
