I snorted. “Love is a fairytale. The only thing I’ll see is death, due to some ill accused imperfection.”
She shook her head. “One of these days, Eira, you’ll be free and you’ll find someone who will prove to you that love is something to believe in.”
I snorted again. “I’ll believe that when I can fly.”
My mother chuckled. “And he will teach you. That is how you’ll know it’s not a lie.”
I sighed and walked off. “You need to open your eyes, mother. No one can love a monster, not that there is any love in this world that can be given.”
She exhaled and spoke quietly. “You’re so wrong in so many ways, my dear. You’re so misguided. You will come to the realization of the truth I speak in time but… I fear I won’t be around to see that day…”
I stopped by the tree and clenched the box in my hand. “Don’t say things like that, mom. I can’t bear the thought of losing you.”
My mother exhaled. “All things die, Eira. It’s just a matter of when.”
I sighed. “I will wear it, but not because of him. You gave it to me, therefore it is from you and not him. I will wear this for you.”
“Thank you.”

About the Author
Shannon Pemrick, for as long as she can remember, has always been in love with dragons, although she never liked the constant portrayal of dragons being inherently evil. In a quest to find more diverse characterizations of dragons, Shannon found her passion for reading Paranormal Romance, Fantasy, and Science Fiction. With a creative and imaginative mind following her around, it was no surprise her two passions collided and created her first published work, Destiny, book one in the Experimental Heart series.
