The dragon swooped down and grabbed Calus with his talons then soared high in the sky.
"You thought you could escape me but how many times must I prove you wrong" wheezed the dragon.
The knights watched in horror as the dragon squeezed their comrade but to their surprise no blood nor gore simply an explosion that rattled the dragon. Calus had not been squashed but shattered into a thousand crystal pieces that rained down in all directions. The dragon roared in surprise then turned his attention to the knights.
"What happened to my sister?" asked Jost.
"As I suspected, your sister dabbled in black magic and turned her heart to stone" replied Brock.
"Um so what about the dragon?" asked Beka.
"I brought something special just for him, Granas unleash the lightning!" yelled Brock.
A large buckly man lifted up a large urn aiming it at the dragon that simply watched them amused. The large man pried of the lid allowing bottled lighting to escape. The dragon was no longer amused in fact he was in pain and full of rage but he was not angry enough to take leave of his senses as he flew away weakened.
"He'll be back" said Beka.
"Yes and without Calus he'll attack any village in his path, at least with Calus alive we knew where he would attack" said Brock.
"So this victory wasn't a victory?" asked Jost.
"Your sister was the chain keeping the dog at bay" said Brock.
Elsewhere.
A man was walking down a the path towards the next village when he stumbled. He looked around until he noticed a strange pink stone. He picked it and was surprised by how warm it felt. He took note of the jagged edges that where actually quite smooth. He placed it in his bag and contained on his way as there were people in the next village that needed his medical help.
"Ok why is this last guy important?" asked Timothy.
"Second book" said Jude.
"You have plans for a second book already?" asked Timothy.
"I already wrote it" said Jude.
"Seriously?" asked Timothy.
Jude opened his book bag and pulled out several notebooks.
"Book 3 is halfway there" said Jude.
Timothy smiled as she shook his head. Jude and Timothy were meeting with the publisher that had published Jude's last book of Callie's short stories. They were sitting in the lobby waiting.
"Um so what's buckly?" asked Timothy
"Buckly?" asked Jude confused.
Timothy opened the notebook and showed him the word buckly.
"Oh I think I meant bulky" said Jude.
Timothy pulled out a pen and crossed out the word buckly and replaced it with bulky.
"There easily fixed" said Timothy.
"Adams Foster?" called the secretary.
"Here!" said Jude.
"He's ready for you now, you can go inside" said the secretary.
Timothy and Jude followed the secretary to the office of Timothy's friend. Jude sat down while Timothy and his friend caught up on things, told stupid jokes and made dinner plans.
"So Jude my man what do you have for me today?" asked the publisher.
Jude handed him the first book which took a while to read but read he did. He sat it down and gave Jude a smile.
"I like how you set it up for a second book, so what did you plan on calling this?" asked the publisher.
"Um I don't know I didn't think about" said Jude silently cursing himself.
"How about the Crystal heart?" asked the publisher.
"That works, so what did you think of the book?" asked Jude.
"I love it, you did an amazing job making me feel at odds with the hero and making the villain a charming monster, the hero using magic to harden her heart which also turns her abuser into a dragon" exclaimed the publisher.
"Thank you" said Jude.
The publisher called in his secretary and gave her the book to give to the editor.
"So with your first book being a minor success I'm authorized to give you $500 up front and if your book sells well we'll see about getting you an advance for your second" said the publisher.
"Thank you" said Jude.
