Liam Ironarm

As a Shang warrior, Liam Ironarm knew that his time was coming. He knew that Alanna wasn't exactly fond of the idea; he was fairly young, and their relationship…

Liam got out pen and ink and wrote the hardest letter he'd ever had to write.

Kitten, Knowing you, you think it's your fault I got killed when I did. You're thinking if you hadn't dragged me along… Forget it.

If I can protect this beginning, I will have died a Dragon. You should grow old, and testy (testier), and raise lions and lionesses with a man who loves all of you. Even your Gift, and you independence, and your stubbornness.

Practice the kicks off your left side-I don't care if they tire you out more than the right-side kicks.

Remember to rub that balm I gave you into the scars on your hands.

There. It was done. But how to give it to her…

The Wildcat. Eda Bell owed Liam a favor.

And this would be it, the last favor of the Shang Dragon.
