It was déjà vu all over again.
I wasn't the only one feeling miffed about this chance encounter either. The beast inside me was growling now too.
'Haʊl!'
In a fit of sudden daring, I strode forward, past Dalmatia's dad, and over to the first step of the dais. Now, to anyone else, this may have seemed a very rude gesture. Certainly, Rookwood, the dwarf whose rotund form was barely concealed by his full robe of black velvet, sputtered at me like he couldn't believe I was being this way.
Funnily enough, there were at least three people in this throne room who knew I was going to be trouble, and though I couldn't see them, I could almost swear that all three of them had sighed at the same time, with Regin the loudest.
