The Seraph’s Deceit
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Nathan was confused; no one had lived in the old Caretaker’s Cabin since the new buildings at Camp Hagios were constructed roughly 30 years ago. The weekly summer camp speakers sometimes stayed there if they didn’t bring any camping gear of their own, but they always seemed to get better sleep if they stayed somewhere else. He could only remember one camp speaker who chose to stay there last year, and the guy only lasted three nights. By the last night, the man was so haggard that he just pitched a tent outside in an effort to get some much-need rest. Either way, it was a Saturday night and the next speaker wasn’t due to arrive until Monday afternoon with the new batch of campers. So even if the next one was a brave soul, there was no reason for anyone to be in there.

The Dark Summer
There weren’t always dragons in the valley. Not that it mattered now. Adrienne stood in her once-elegant coronation gown, frozen, as the boulder she had attempted to scramble up unfolded into a drake. His massive body slithered around until he stood on four legs, his tail disappearing into the trees on the far side of the clearing. His bulky wings balanced on his gnarled back. The great beast towered over his newly discovered treasure and dwarfed the trees surrounding the meadow. The dragon opened his mouth, displaying a cavity large enough for the princess to stand up in, and breathed his coal breath onto her face with a guttural hiss. The heat transferred to Adrienne confirmed his identity; Erobern, the fearsome fire drake that terrorized Erste these past months, stood before her.
