Ciara's POV
I was still hugging the dragon for a while. She shifted a little but did nothing to disturb me as I thought through what she'd said. Something that she was only doing because of a message that she was trying to convey. My eyes caught sight of her talons. The ice was starting to freeze her legs. She wasn't used to this cold and it was going to make her go numb if she stayed here much longer. I focused on the ice and pushed it off her body. The ice listened to me almost immediately, something that had been hard for me before I was left in the chasm.
The explanation she'd just given me was only pointing to one thing. The dragon and I were bonded, but one thing still eluded me. Kevin had felt his severed bond with Ellimir without ever meeting the dragon and simply because he saw a dragon. I'd seen Regina before. I'd been around dragons before, why didn't I feel anything then.
"Regina, are we…" I asked.
