Chapter 249

• [Ursa]
• With a strong push, Kora pushed her entire family from the ledge of our tower window. It all happened so fast, I barely had a moment to catch my breath.
• “Catch, Primus,” she laughs as arms outspread. She falls backward after her husband, shifting into her bestial form to writhe in the air like a snake in the sand. Without reservation, I jumped out after them both, but I could only catch one of them within my flame-edged talons, and Kora, despite her weak wings, was still safer than her husband and eggs trapped within a prison of metal and glass.
