“They see you and I together…” He started, searching for
the right words as Procyon rumbled awkwardly. “And they think… they hope they
see the future of the Tycho Star Traders.”
Capella cautiously growled in response to Procyon as Annie
blushed furiously. They had grown steadily closer since that fateful reception
at Gaanard when she had first met Elias and his parents. Since then, her fate
seemed to be racing down a predetermined path by the visions that continued to
haunt her mind. While she remained determined to control her own fate, her own
destiny, she could not help but feel her love for Elias steadily growing.
She was pretty sure he was falling in love with her in his own, sometimes aggravating,
sometimes romantic, always cute in an awkward sort of way. Had he seen visions
of his own? Or was he just driven by his powerful sense of purpose and duty as
the son of the StarHawke Tycho?
And then there was the Hawkkur Legion and its fanatically
loyal members. The Family Guard, the Gaanard Troop and the Hawkkur Combat Teams
embarked upon the Tycho Triumph and the Tycho Victory, whose members had fiercely thrown
themselves into the battle on Conborine. To rescue her from Reska kidnappers. To
rescue a family from the mercenaries who had taken over their business. To
rescue Tolen and Blom from the threats to their ill-fated terminal project. And
to rescue a city from the clutches of a Black Dragon – a Rahhol DragonHawk –
who was their sworn enemy. They did these things willingly because they were
driven by their duty as a Hawkkur Warrior, the honor of the Warriors who had
served and died before them. And for the glory of the Hawkkur Legion and the
generations of Hawkkur Warriors yet to be born.
Duty. Honor. Glory. It permeated everyone and everything at the Tycho Trade Station.
Coupled with Fate it pushed them inexplicably towards whatever destiny was in
store for the Tycho Drakkon and their people.
As always, thanks for reading! And don't forget to get your copy of Dragon Hunters and let me know what you think!
