Reborn to Marry My Ex’s Dragon Uncle fullmovie engsub
Transcript
00:00My cousin Sarah and I were both given to the dragon court. I went to the firstborn, Aldric. She went
00:05to the second son, Dorian.
00:07A year later, Sarah bore a white dragon. While I came out, nine, ugly, malformed, nothing resembling a dragon.
00:13The dragon king cared deeply about appearances. He named Dorian his heir on the spot.
00:18Aldric, in his fury, handed all nine of my children to the phoenix court as blood catalysts, me along with
00:24them.
00:24If I marry Sarah, the throne will be mine.
00:28I couldn't survive the shame. I walked into the sacred flame and let it take me. He didn't know. Sarah
00:33was hybrid. I was pure.
00:35My children had been ugly because they took after him. When I opened my eyes, I was back on selection
00:39day.
00:40Aldric, Dorian, the fox clan has sent two. Each of you choose.
00:44I understood immediately. I had been reborn. This life, I could not let Aldric choose me.
00:49But as I stood there scheming, Aldric walked past me with a look of distaste and pulled Sarah forward instead.
00:54I understood immediately. Aldric had been reborn too. I reached for Sarah's hand. Shook my head at her.
01:00The dragon king wasn't a tyrant of these things. If she refused, she could go home. Sarah yanked her hand
01:05away.
01:06Liar.
01:06Satisfaction dripped from her voice.
01:08Don't tell me you're jealous that Aldric chose me.
01:11The dragon court passed its throne the same way most courts did. Bloodline first, then birth order.
01:16Aldric and Dorian were both sons of the dragon queen. Aldric had precedence.
01:20Sarah was blinded by the crown she thought she could see. I cursed her silently for a fool, then let
01:25her go.
01:26If Aldric took Sarah, that left me with Dorian. Except Dorian refused on the spot.
01:31Father, I'm not ready for a consort.
01:33I blinked, touched my face. I really wasn't that bad.
01:36Fine, go home. Find a fox-blooded man who actually deserved me.
01:40I was pleasantly imagining exactly that when a figure stepped out from the back of the hall.
01:44He wore a mask. Two short horns curled from his brow.
01:47Brother, did you forget I haven't taken a consort either?
01:51Brother? Was this Kaelin? The dragon king's youngest sibling?
01:54Rumor had it the dragon king doted on him. Had even once considered naming him heir.
01:58But Kaelin was wild, unpredictable. Refused to take consort or sire children. The idea was shelved.
02:04He hadn't appeared in my first life at all. Kaelin strolled toward me, easy and unhurried. His dark eyes fixed
02:10on me.
02:10Brother, she's beautiful. You let your sons choose first and didn't think of me? Hardly fair.
02:15The dragon king called him an insufferable wretch and waved his hand. I was given to Kaelin.
02:20Aldric, still holding Sarah's arm, couldn't resist.
02:23Uncle, don't let her face fool you.
02:26Kaelin's fingers locked around my wrist. His dark eyes sharpened instantly.
02:30Who I choose is not your business.
02:33Kaelin brought me to his quarters. No intention of removing the mask. Not even that night. Alone, together.
02:39What surprised me more? He had no intention of sharing the bed.
02:42He placed a folded blanket down the center of the stone bed. Divided it precisely in two.
02:47You sleep on the inside. I'll take the outside.
02:50I sat there clutching my blanket, genuinely confused. Dragon men were known for their appetites.
02:55In my first life, Aldric had been relentless. Illness didn't slow him. My discomfort didn't slow him.
03:00Was Kaelin, perhaps, unable? He seemed to read my thoughts. His expression cooled.
03:05I married you because I pitted you. If I hadn't, do you know where you'd be right now?
03:09Aldric had planned to have me killed again. He wasn't going to marry me, but he wasn't going to
03:14release me either. The moment I stepped outside the dragon court unattached, I would have been
03:18bound and delivered to the Phoenix Lord as a gift. Aldric carried memories from our first life.
03:23He knew the Phoenix Lord wanted me. He intended to use that. The thought of what the Phoenix Lord
03:27did to the women in his court made me cold all over. That cold fear turned quickly into hatred.
03:32In our first life, Aldric had bled my nine children dry. He had cornered me into the flame.
03:36Now, reborn, he still wasn't finished. How could something so brutal claim the right to rule?
03:41The thought followed me into sleep. Dawn. Kaelin pulled me up to pay morning respects to the
03:46Dragon King. I was still yawning when we arrived. Aldric and Sarah were already there. Composed.
03:51Impeccable. Sarah looked radiant. Her legs were shaking slightly. Marks on her neck. A great many
03:56of them. I winced. That must have been brutal. Aldric was rough even when welcomed. For Sarah's first
04:01time, she probably needed help getting out of bed. She caught my expression and mistook it for envy.
04:06She tugged her collar and leaned close. How was your night, Lyra? Word is,
04:11he didn't touch you at all. I glanced pointedly at her inner thighs.
04:14Worry about yourself, Sarah. She drew back with a huff.
04:17Enjoy it now. Wait until the King finishes with you.
04:20Sure enough. The Dragon King's voice came cold and measured.
04:24Kaelin. Explain yourself.
04:26Kaelin looked entirely unbothered. Thought she was interesting yesterday.
04:30Changed my mind by evening. The Dragon King hurled his crystal goblet into the courtyard.
04:35Disgraceful. After the morning audience, the Dragon King summoned me privately.
04:40He wanted to know what had actually happened. I told him I'd been too shy. He studied me for a
04:45long time. Told me to give Kaelin an air soon. Then sent me on my way. I returned to find
04:50Kaelin
04:51waiting, frost in his eyes. What did he ask you?
04:53I told him everything. He was quiet for a moment. Then he told me to avoid private meetings with the
04:59Dragon King going forward. If anything came up, redirect it to him. It only deepened the mystery.
05:04The dynamic between these two was as unreadable as the mask Kaelin never removed. Before I could
05:09untangle any of it, news swept through the entire court. Sarah was with child. A golden light surrounded
05:15her belly. Aldrich was beside himself. He invited the whole court to witness at dawn. I was invited
05:20too. Of course. Sarah opened with a performance. She dropped the Dragon Pearl on the floor and smiled
05:26at me sweetly. Leia, I'm carrying Dragon Young. Could you pick that up for me? She was barely a
05:32month along. She could bend perfectly well. This was theater. The court watched with amusement.
05:36Aldrich joined in, implying I was a pretty bird who couldn't lay eggs. I was about to respond when a
05:41sharp
05:42gust lifted the pearl, knocked it against Sarah's face, and dropped it neatly back into her hand.
05:47Kaelin lowered his wrist. He looked at Sarah with no particular expression. Did you lose the use of
05:51your hands? Sarah burst into tears against Aldrich's chest. Aldrich, humiliated, redirected me.
05:57Uncle! She only asked her to pick something up. Why the outburst? Lyra's pretty, I'll give her that.
06:02But she can't even carry a dragon child. You're the only one who sees anything in her.
06:05Kaelin's response was immediate. She's beautiful at least. The two of you are ugly and useless. That puts
06:11her ahead. Aldrich went white, then shifted into dragon family. He looked ferocious. He fought like
06:16a beginner. Kaelin played with him, barely tried. The court watched Aldrich crumble under what
06:21amounted to light sparring, and the question moved quietly through the room. Was this really
06:25the man meant to be king? Aldrich stopped before he could lose more thoroughly. He grabbed Sarah and
06:30walked out. When my white dragon is born and takes the throne, none of you will be laughing!
06:36Gone before anyone could point out he'd forgotten entirely about the golden light he'd summoned
06:40everyone to see. Aldrich didn't forget to slice. He waited until Kaelin was away, and came for me.
06:46He wove mist across the back courtyard, trapping me on the hillside. Called wind and rain down until
06:51I was soaked through and shaking. Only then did he appear. He looked at me, drenched, and something
06:56greedy moved across his face. Lyra, he still hasn't touched you, hasn't he? He came toward me. I backed up.
07:03He seized my wrist. Your bloodline isn't quite right for a proper consort. But a secondary one?
07:09That could work. I slapped him. He grabbed me by the throat. I couldn't breathe. Then he let go.
07:13Even now, Kaelin's name keeps him from going all the way. When he finds out the only things you can
07:18produce are malformed little monsters. Let's see how long he protects you. You're a low-clan princess,
07:23Lyra. When that day comes, I'll crush you like nothing. He didn't know. The clan he despised was
07:28about to ruin him completely. I cast my glamour. Between one breath and the next, we were standing
07:33in front of the Dragon King's council chamber. Every word Aldrich had just said had fallen on the
07:38Dragon King's ears, and the ears of every allied clan lord present. The Fox Clan was low-ranked,
07:43yes, but they were under Dragon Court protection. What Aldrich had said amounted to announcing,
07:48in public, that the Dragon Court held its subject clans in contempt,
07:52not something a future king could afford to say aloud. The Dragon King's crystal scepter cracked
07:56against Aldrich's wings. You have deeply disappointed me. Aldrich hit the ground. His shoulders trembled.
08:02The Dragon King stripped him of his privileges and confined him to quarters. The heir,
08:06presumptive, favored of the court one hour ago, became invisible by afternoon. I had won cleanly.
08:11Kaelin was furious. Do you understand how dangerous that was? What if he had actually killed you?
08:16He'd figured it out, of course. I had used an enchantment to lure Aldrich in deliberately.
08:20Revenge, yes, but also self-preservation. Aldrich wasn't going to leave me alone regardless.
08:25Better to move first. I hadn't consulted Kaelin because he didn't know about my first life.
08:30He looked at me, soaking wet, and couldn't bring himself to say much more. He exhaled.
08:34Don't do something like that without telling me. I'm your husband. Protecting you is my
08:38responsibility. Something warm moved through my chest when he said it. Something I hadn't expected.
08:44Time moved quickly after that. The night Sarah went into labor, a storm rolled in. Lightning,
08:49black clouds, golden light pouring off the palace walls. The court's ritual seers declared it the
08:54sign of a golden dragon's birth. The Dragon King got out of bed and went to Sarah's chambers to wait.
08:59I wasn't going to miss this. Aldrich's bloodline wasn't pure enough for a golden dragon. If that
09:04light was real, it wasn't his. Sarah labored all night. Dragon Young were large. She screamed until
09:10dawn. Then the screaming stopped. The child was not brought out. The Dragon King went by himself.
09:15What followed was a silence somehow worse than the screaming. Then came his order.
09:19Seal it. Tell no one.
09:21Word leaked anyway. It always does. Sarah had delivered something golden. It was not a dragon.
09:26A one-clawed golden serpent. A common golden serpent could, with enough medicine and time,
09:32be coaxed into dragon form. A one-clawed one could not. Too weak. It would never transform.
09:37And across its face, a large, dark birthmark. Ugly and unmistakable. The Dragon King took one look
09:42and left without naming it. The Dragon Court hadn't seen a birth to this poor in over a thousand years.
09:48In my first life, Sarah and Dorian produced a white dragon together. Sarah and Aldrich produced this.
09:53The bloodline failure was obvious. Aldrich's own lineage wasn't as pure as he'd always believed.
09:58The Dragon King began arranging a match for Dorian the very next morning.
10:02He also issued a command. I was to produce a dragon child within the year.
10:06The entire court now understood exactly what Aldrich had fathered.
10:10Aldrich locked himself in his rooms. Sarah's situation was no better.
10:14Aldrich blamed her for everything. Threatened to cast her out with the child and start over.
10:18My father wrote asking me to help her. I went, reluctantly. Sarah was not grateful.
10:23Don't look so pleased with yourself, Lyra. You know why Kaylin wears that mask? Because he's
10:27curious under it. You'll end up just like me, producing nothing worth keeping. And even if you
10:32do manage something, it'll just be catalyst stock for the King's workings. Ha!
10:36Catalyst stock. My blood went cold. I thought of my nine children in my first life, their deaths,
10:42and my hand went to my stomach before I could stop it. Sarah refused to say more and threw me
10:46out.
10:47I went to Kaylin. Asked him directly what was going on. He deflected. Said it was to protect me.
10:52My hand was still on my stomach. I was done being patient.
10:55Kaylin. Stop. I'm telling you I'm pregnant.
10:58He went very still. I held his gaze. That night. After the spiced plum wine.
11:03I'd caught a chill standing in Aldrich's rain. I'd demanded wine to warm up. Kaylin had relented.
11:09We'd both had more than intended. And somewhere in the middle of it, ended up on the same half
11:14of the bed. Why won't you let me see your face? I traced my fingers along his mask. He caught
11:20my
11:20hand and pressed his lips to my wrist. From my wrist, to my arm, then to my mouth.
11:28Dragons are creatures of desire. He said, voice low. I know. I reached up and pulled him closer by
11:35the back of his neck. Come here, Kaylin. I want this. Neither of us had expected it to matter.
11:41I took his hand. I'm this child's mother. I have every right to know what threatens him.
11:45Let's protect him together. Kaylin looked at me for a long time. Then the mask slipped from his
11:50fingers and fell. I stared. Kaylin was not ugly. He was, without question, the finest looking man in
11:56the dragon court or anywhere else I had ever been. Except for the scar. It ran the full length of
12:01his
12:01left cheek. Deep. Old. Terrible. I touched it. A wound that left a mark like this had been profound.
12:07That night he told me everything. Kaylin and the dragon king were not full brothers. Kaylin had
12:13been born to the true dragon queen. The dragon king was the son of a lesser consort. A concubine
12:18elevated to queen only after the true queen died in childbirth. By rights, Kaylin should have inherited,
12:24but he had no mother to protect him, and the new queen had no interest in his survival. So he
12:28did the
12:29only thing that kept him alive. He destroyed his own face. There was an old rule in the dragon court.
12:34Unwritten but absolute. The king must be unblemished. A scarred face was a sign of heaven's disfavor.
12:39It disqualified. That was why the dragon king obsessed over the appearance of his grandchildren.
12:43That was why he had demanded I carry Kaylin's child, and why he wanted that child as a ritual catalyst.
12:49Pure blood, bound to the rightful bloodline he had stolen. No wonder Kaylin wore the mask. No wonder
12:54he hadn't touched me. He had been trying to make sure I never became pregnant at all. And now I
12:58am.
12:58I looked at him. Are we giving this child up? Kaylin gripped my shoulders. Lyra,
13:03this child chose us. I'm not letting go. Not of either of you. I'm done retreating.
13:11We decided immediately to conceal the pregnancy with glamour, until we had a plan. The physical
13:16signs I could mask. The body's reactions I could not. At the dragon king's feast, I vomited in front
13:22of everyone. Sarah was at my side in an instant, rubbing my back, radiating delight. Lyra?
13:28You're not pregnant, are you? What wonderful news that would be. The dragon king's eyes lit up before
13:33I could speak. The royal physician was summoned at a near run, his fingers on my wrist before
13:38he'd fully stopped moving. I kept my expression neutral and thought, this is over. Kaylin was at
13:43the eastern sea, reaching out to his mother's people. I was alone. The physician looked up from
13:48my pulse with great solemnity. My lady is not with child. A digestive concern, I believe. Nothing
13:55more. He caught my eye. He was winking at me. I understood instantly. I arranged my expression
14:00into embarrassment. I did eat rather a lot of roasted chicken last night. Five, I think.
14:06The hall went silent. The dragon king dismissed me with barely concealed irritation. On the way back,
14:11I crossed paths with a physician, who had caught the king's displeasure as a side effect of his
14:16performance. He told me he was making amends. I could not save the queen. Let this be what I
14:20owe, Lord Kaylin. The true dragon queen had been killed by the dragon king's household too. I couldn't
14:25let myself think about what would happen to my child if we failed. I sent a sealed letter to my
14:29mother
14:29that same day, requesting the complete glamour grimoire. As the fox clan's legitimate princess,
14:35I had the right to inherit it. As a reckless child, I had only learned a fraction of it.
14:39Learn it fully, and I could deceive anyone. My mother sent it within days. The weeks that followed,
14:44drilling the grimoire by day, managing Sarah and Aldric's attempts to catch me out by night.
14:48Sarah appeared at my door daily. She was certain I was pregnant. Confirmation would earn her favor
14:53with both Aldric and the dragon king. My glamour held. Then Sarah arrived with a small, ornate box.
14:58Your clan's radiance elixir arrived. I brought it over for you. The radiance elixir was a staple
15:03among foxwomen. Most took several times a month. It preserved beauty and complexion. It also contained
15:08one ingredient that harmed unborn children. Every pregnant foxwoman stopped taking it immediately.
15:13Sarah knew this. I didn't reach for the box. You've looked exhausted lately. Has the elixir
15:18stopped agreeing with you? She tried to watch me take one on the spot. I showed her the door.
15:23My refusal, of course, looked exactly like guilt. Within the hour, she was back. With Aldric,
15:27the dragon king and a clan priestess. Sarah pointed at me. The fox clan has a glamour craft
15:32that can conceal the truth. I believe Lyra is using it right now to hide her pregnancy.
15:39The dragon king's scepter tapped the floor. His eyes settled on me. Is that so? I burst into tears
15:45and said I had no idea what she was talking about. Sarah's patience snapped. Stop performing.
15:51I brought someone who can see through you. The priestess stepped forward. I recognized her the
15:55moment she entered. Sarah had gone all the way back to the fox clan and brought Nora,
15:59the most powerful ritual practitioner our people had. Nora raised her staff toward my face.
16:04My lady, forgive the intrusion. She was talented, genuinely. Her craft swept through the room in
16:10broad circles. What Sarah had apparently forgotten, the most talented practitioner in the fox clan was my
16:15mother. Under my mother's direct instruction, I had reached the highest level of glamour craft. Nora had
16:20not. She had no chance. Nora circled me three times, then three more. Her expression shifted from
16:25confidence to confusion. That's impossible. She used her last resort. Sacred flame bloomed in her palm.
16:32Pure foxfire, the kind that burned through all illusion. Using it costs enormous reserves. Whatever
16:38Sarah had promised her, it had been worth it to Nora. Nora stood holding the sacred flame. I quietly brought
16:43out my reflecting talisman. Her expression troubled. Your majesty, I find nothing irregular about Lady Lyra.
16:51It's possible she has reached the highest level of glamour craft. That is beyond my ability to penetrate.
16:57The dragon king's gaze moved me. His frown eased into something calculating. I underestimated Kaelin.
17:03Something in his tone made my skin tighten. Before I could respond, his hand moved. Everything went dark.
17:08I woke in a quiet wing of the palace. I didn't recognize. The dragon king sat above me,
17:13studying my stomach with calm, unhurried interest. Awake. I have to say, you and Kaelin managed to
17:17hide it longer than I expected. I pulled my hands over my belly instinctively. No point in performing
17:21anymore. Is this what we're calling it? Imprisonment? He smiled the way people smile
17:24when they want you to feel stupid for asking. Imprisonment. I'm concerned for Kaelin's child,
17:28that's all. He's away. Someone should look after things. When he returns, you'll all be together again.
17:32He knew. He knew Kaelin had gone to the eastern sea to call in forces. I had to do something.
17:37After he left,
17:38I lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling. The chamber was sealed tight. Warding circles on
17:43every surface. My glamour was useless here. Nothing living could pass in or out. Then,
17:48the next morning, two servants whispered outside my door and forgot how thin walls were.
17:52Lord Aldric is taking a new consort. Already? His last one just gave birth. And didn't she do
17:57something for the king? Doesn't matter anymore. She's been sent back to the fox clan. Terrible, really.
18:06The child went with her, they say? Sarah had been sent away. No. Aldric didn't send people away.
18:11That wasn't how he operated. I reached into the lining of my robe and found the feather whistle.
18:16My father had pressed one into each of our hands the day we left home. One for me,
18:20one for Sarah. So we could always find each other. I had never expected to need it. Through the whistle,
18:26I learned the truth. Sarah had been handed to the Phoenix Lord, exactly as I had been in my first
18:31life.
18:31Her child was missing. Hearing my voice through the whistle, Sarah finally understood why I had
18:36tried to stop her from taking Aldric's hand that day. She was frantic. She begged me to save her.
18:41Save her child! I told her I couldn't do it alone. We had to work together. She went quiet. I
18:46started
18:47thinking of other ways to reach Kaelin. Then her voice came back through the whistle. Steady this time.
18:52She would help me. She would get a message out. Something had changed. She had found her child's
18:56body the night before. The one-clawed serpent had been too low ranked for a blood catalyst. So they
19:01used it for something worse. A test subject. The body was covered in bruising. Dark purple from end
19:06to end. Sarah had looked at it. And something in her simply stopped functioning the way it used to.
19:10She would get my message to Kaelin. And after that, she wanted Aldric. We made our plan quickly.
19:15My part was simple. Wait. Kaelin came back faster than I thought he would.
19:20Lyra, it's me. He was suddenly there, his hand around my wrist. No time. We're leaving.
19:24Then the Dragon King materialized in the doorway like smoke given form.
19:28Kaelin, you return and don't come to greet your brother first?
19:31Kaelin put himself between me and the door. I reached past his arm and took his hand. I wanted
19:35him to know I wasn't standing behind him. I was standing with him. The Dragon King looked at
19:40our joined hands and something crossed his face I hadn't expected. Something that looked almost like
19:44grief. Kaelin, why has fortune always favored you? Your father's regard, your mother's love, that face.
19:50And now a wife who would walk into ruin beside you. His voice went flat. I refused to accept it.
19:57He
19:57looked at me. Leave him. I'll see you safely delivered. Name you a lady of the court. Comfort
20:03for the rest of your life. What do you say? I almost laughed. Aldric had been disgusting.
20:10This old man was somehow worse. I looked at the lines of his face.
20:15Why would I leave him for someone who looks like you?
20:18The Dragon King's vanity was his deepest wound. In truth, he wasn't ugly. No man ruled the dragon
20:23court on an ugly face. But next to Kaelin, he had always known the difference. My words landed
20:28exactly where I meant them to. You've chosen the hard way. He gave the order. Armed guards poured in
20:36from every entrance. Take them both. Let's see how defiant they are after. But he didn't know. The soulbinding
20:42relic from the Eastern Sea was already pressed against his spine. Before his guards could reach us,
20:46Kaelin's forces had taken every one of them. The Elder Council entered from the outer hall and knelt.
20:51We welcome the return of our true king. The Dragon King stood very still. Then he shouted.
20:56Have you all lost your minds? I am king. This is treason. These elders had served the court before
21:03the Dragon Nord's time. They had always belonged to Kaelin's cause. They had simply been afraid for too long.
21:09The Dragon Nord had made too many enemies, pushed too many allies toward resentment. When Kaelin came to them,
21:14they did not hesitate. The Dragon King was forced to his knees. He kept his chin up.
21:19You're all blind. His face is damaged. A scarred king is no king at all. Release me or I'll have
21:24every one of you destroyed. I looked at him for a moment. Then I reached up and removed Kaelin's mask
21:29myself. The scar was gone. His face was unmarked, clean, because Fox Clan women knew, above everything
21:36else, how to heal what had been broken. From the night Kaelin showed me the scar, I had been treating
21:40it.
21:40The mask continued after the healing for one reason only, to let the Dragon King believe nothing had
21:44changed, right up until everything had. I looked at the Dragon King. I should have mentioned.
21:49The Fox Clan's greatest gift isn't glamour. I let him work out the rest.
21:58Facing the United Elder Council, Kaelin's forces, and a husband whose disqualifying flaw no longer
22:02existed, the Dragon King did the only thing left to him. He picked up the crystal seppler and drove
22:07it into his own float. Blood crossed the throne room floor. Aldric collapsed. He scrambled to his
22:12knees and begged. Loudly. Repeatedly. Technically, his fate was mine to decide, but Cera's price for
22:17helping me had been simple and non-negotiable. She wanted Aldric. A deal was a deal. I glanced at him

22:21the floor and patted Cera's shoulder. Don't disappoint me. Don't disappoint me.
22:26Cera looked at Aldric with the expression of someone who had thought about this moment for
22:30a very long time. I won't. I'll make sure he can't die and can't bear to live. She meant it.
22:35She kept it. The day she took him back, she had his bloodline formally tested. The results,
22:40which the Dragon King had been falsifying for years, showed Aldric at the lowest rank the Dragon
22:44Court recognized, barely above the one-clawed serpent he had fathered. Without Cera's own strong bloodline,
22:49even that much wouldn't have been possible. She made the results public. Every accusation
22:54Aldric had leveled at her inverted in a single afternoon. When Aldric saw the numbers, something
22:59in him broke. He kept saying it. He'd been reborn. This wasn't supposed to happen. He wanted to die.
23:05He didn't get to. Cera had him placed with the lowest-ranked clan in the territory,
23:09assigned as an alchemical thrall. He woke up to it every day. I spent my pregnancy eating well and
23:14watching events unfold from a comfortable distance. Perhaps it was contentment.
23:18Perhaps it was Kaylin. Perhaps it was simply this life being different from the last. When my time
23:24came, I delivered nine dragons young. Every one of them carried something from my first nine children.
23:29A feature, a quality, something I recognized. But this time those things fit. What had seemed strange
23:35before was beautiful now. Each one entirely, completely themselves. Ugly or lovely, it would not
23:41have mattered. Kaylin and I had already decided we would love them exactly as they came.
23:46Do you think about myself?
23:47Do you think Linda
