130 Summoning

Quetz refuted the claim that it was just a myth. 'No. It may take a long time to find him but I feel that Brantley has a lot of answers, clues and he isn't telling us.' 

"Can someone tell me what is going on?" Daryn protested. Dawn was talking aloud to Quetz as if she was in actual conversation with him. 

Quetz ignored him. 'Brantley wants me. I knew it the first time I saw him. I chose you as my rider, so the Aztec Court has to wait. Brantley wouldn't dare to slay you because he knows that we are bonded. He is aware that a rider is nothing without his dragon and vice versa. If you die of a natural calamity or natural death, he can claim me.' 

"What does he know about the Stone of Solaris?" asked Daryn. Ever since he mentioned it, Daryn had been impatient. 

'Dawn, if you want, we can find the ruby.'

"But— but people have died—"

'Yes, because none of them had a dragon.'
