Short

A couple of days quickly went by.

And then it was time to go into battle once again.

The army of thousands, which this time led by Klauz, was now lined up in front of the great abyss that was currently surrounded by tall ice crystals.

The ice dragons were scattered all about in the formation that Vera and Evie had determined to be best for this attack. Each ice dragon now has a rider who were dark faes. All were ridden by Klauz's elite soldiers for the exception of Sweetie, who had Azrael as her rider. The soldiers had somehow managed to pacify the dragons because of Klauz's secret knowledge about the magic of communicating with the dragons. However, the dragons still required their real master's approval before allowing other riders to mount them. Those warriors were only able to ride them during the war.
