DreameNovelV**Cassius** My mate is absolutely amazing. She didn't make fun offor playing the piano and singing. I had always kept that talent hidden because I was afraid of what others would think. My parents had each of us learn various skills. They wanted whichever of us becking to have a diverse skillset so that he could better serve our tribe. Avery just has so many of those skills that took us a long tto master. Clint toldhow quickly she learned to fly and despite her fear too. Next, Conner toldhow after he corrected her just once, she got consecutive bullseyes and even split arrows. That takes immense skill. And just now, she learned to play the piano and I have no doubt that she could master it too. What can't she do? When the piano crashed to the floor, my brothers crunning followed by a few servants. Avery blushed as I shielded her with my body. I whispered, "You are so sexy even when you blush. But don't be embarrassed. Mates seize the moment." She bit her lip as she adjusted my pants. "Including wrecking pianos," she quietly joked.

Staff, work your magic,” I said as my brothers held in their laughter. They are such assholes, but admittedly I would have teased them endlessly.
Our coronation vacation flew by and before we knew it we were back in our school routine. However, we made sure that one of us was always with Avery. Which was a good thing because tension among tribes are mounting. Sometimes uprisings are almost cyclical but I have a bad feeling about this one should it escalate.
**Avery** It feels odd being back at school after the coronation, but we have not graduated yet. Once we do, our official duties as queen and her kings begin. I still notice a bit of jealousy between The Tbut it has lessened. I now stay after school and watch football practice. The coach letssit right behind the bench. I think it has more to do with Cassius making threats to quit the team than Coach letting me.
It was a nice fall evening so we decided to walk home. We had been walking to and from school more often. I think they do it so that we all can spend more ttogether. We were almost to the palace gates when Momma June approached us.

When she said the word river, I felt a chill and as if I was gasping for air. I look at The Trio, "No tto explain. We need to go now." As I said that, Regina's wings emerged and rocketedinto the sky. We flew as swiftly as we could. Clint was the first to catch up to us. As we neared a section of the river, the other two brothers joined us. We descended as a group. As soon as our feet hit the ground, we began to look for clues. I stopped searching and sank to the ground. I quieted my mind as I closed my eyes.
I heard birds and other wildlife but that's not what I was listening for. Finally, I heard a faint mooing sound followed by incessant splashing. I bolted upright and rushed in the direction of the noise. The Tfollowedand soon we cupon scows. We got them out of the water and onto the bank. Conner said, "I will stay and heal them. Go find the farmers and Anton." I heard churning water. There must be rapids nearby. I started running towards them and the guys followed me. As soon as we got there, I knew that I had to act fast. I saw a hand reach up out of the water. "The falls, they're being pulled towards them!" I yelled as I let Regina out. Asher and Carter joined her as they flew over the raging water and swooped down to pluck out a farmer from the water like an eagle catches a fish. However, they could only pick up one or two men at a time. They needed help. I made a rope out of vines and the guys' shirts. "Clint, can you get to the other side?" He nodded, so I found a descent-sized rock and attached it to one end of the vine. I gave the stone to Cassius as I held the other end. I had Cassius throw it to Clint. After Clint caught it, we rushed to just below where the men were struggling.
Once we secured our ends on opposite sides of the river, we watched as the last few men including my adoptive father grabbed ahold before they plummeted to their deaths.
Once the farmers were safe, our dragons returned. However, the farmers weren't healing. Something is wrong. "Why aren't their dragons healing them and why did they let this happen?" I ask.
Cassius runs his hand through his hair, "I honestly don't know."
