My shoulders relaxed. However, it wasn’t over yet. We still had to go into the Deathlies territory. Where every little thing had been touched and dipped with the poison from their contact, we couldn’t touch a single thing without bringing the plague upon ourselves.

Chapter sixty-four
AURELIA
We pressed forward toward the nest, the group of Deathlies depleting behind us. Their shrieks cried out in the air, piercing our ears. They were close. We didn’t have time to look back.
We were fighting through the clouds as they were thick, covering the sky like a heavy blanket, blocking our vision. The elevation and the strong winds made it difficult for us as we sought sanctuary. Forging ahead, the rain and storm clouds concealed our movements in the sky.
Belle swerved from side to side with her small body, struggling with the strength of the wind blasting past us, her wings shaking as she pressed forward, determined to not allow her size to become a weakness.
Wiping the dampness of the rain from my eyes, I saw as a glimpse of the deep void we witnessed come to view. More figures crowded the sky in front of us. They were dragons, using their thick bodies to protect us in a circle of Scalekind.
A few passed us in the sky, reaching the Deathlies behind us; they scorched them to crisps, helping us in this battle. Other dragons without riders swooped down toward the nest, blasting their flames, electricity, water, and ice from their snouts, combating the Deathlies in this war.
Being scattered from the remaining of the Scalebound, I searched for their dragons that held them on their backs. I found Clemmy on her dragon,Teiimanam1. His scales were a shimmery gold in the small light that bled from the slits the moon poked through. Clemmy utilized theirmaxz2 of light by blinding the Deathlies, skipping past them when they could, her dragon erupting flames to finish them off.
They both swooped to be by our side, with more Deathlies coming behind them.
“Teiimanamsays that the other dragons who escaped from the gate owe Damian a favor and promised to protect the outside to the best of their abilities as we destroy it,” Clemmy said. I thought it odd, as dragons had never owed anyone anything. It made me smile, knowing they would help us as we attempted to defeat the Deathlies. As I shifted my gaze toward Damian, a mischievous glint sparkled in his eye, followed by a subtle wink. In response, I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
I could see the deep dark nest below us, a gaping black hole in the center, with blackened terrain around it. Everything was dead and shriveled to a crisped, lifeless land. “How do we destroy it without touching anything?” Luella asked, reading my mind.
Abner and Angie pulled up right next to us on the back ofWaimanimet3,who towered over all of us in size. Damian was behind me, holding me tight and close. I almost forgot his presence, but the reminder made me smile.
The grass beneath was black and prickly, filled with swarming Deathlies. The dragons in the distance were fighting off theDeathlies that were originally following us. They fought them with fire and their other elements, killing them and making them plop down to their own damned lifeless earth.
We were running thin on time, and had to finish off the Deathlies for good. I thought of what the Scalekeeper told Damian,yamceeii4axuaeii5uama6. And how my father said the same thing to me as his last words.
“I thought by stopping the connection that it would work, but this must be a more potent enchantment, and need more strength. The only thing I could think of would be using the magic of the Old Religion to fight the magic of the Old Religion. My father’s last clue to kill off the Deathlies was the Scalebound. In my readings, I remember the Scalebound symbols. Fire, water, earth, and air. What does it mean, though? The Scalekeeper also told usyamceeii axuaeii uama: to use what is ours.”
