I don't have time for this. If we're not at the packhouse by ten, anything we've found will mean nothing for Nefera. The window will be closed, and she'll have to fight Aurora, even though she doesn't have to. Gladys warned me that the ritual had to be performed by the letter, or there would be consequences. I didn't doubt her on that. If the legends were true, our ancestors used magic to set those laws in place; without a royal, we couldn't change them. I doubted we could get the dragon king or any of his children here in ten minutes.
