we have no idea what they said to each other during her lockdown. They may very well have been her only friends. Those on your side made sure to keep an eye on her from afar, but not to engage her much. They felt that would work best for the breakout and beyond. I didn't agree, but it was their choice. As far as Timothy and Sasha go, I offer you this advice, which you can choose to listen to or not. Be wary of them. They've done many questionable things in the past, and you saw one firsthand when they left right before Athena and Ares attacked you. I'm not saying they're guilty in that situation or any other time, but that incident was one of many mysterious circumstances surrounding them. Again, this is important, there is no true evidence against them, but you know the old saying: Where there's smoke, there's fire. I don't believe anyone on the council trusts them."
    "How did they get onto the council in the first place?"
    "How does any member make it on?" Felix asked with a smile. "Politics."
    Yeah, that all made sense. Hadn't he had the same opinion of Timothy and Sasha after that first meeting in the hallway of the Stronghold? Of course, Andi had it, too, but she'd certainly changed that tune.
    "Anything else about Alexandria?"
    "Yeah." He blushed.
    "Last night?" Felix asked. To his credit, he kept a straight face. Mostly. A small sliver of a smile tilted up on the necromancer's mouth.
    "Yeah. It was, uh, like she still had the chastity spell on. At least in her mind. I thought for sure we were going to have sex, but she couldn't do it. She said because her dad wanted us to wait until we had a normal wedding, we should honor his wishes. She never wanted to before."
    "She had a lot of time on her own to think, to decide how to mourn her parents. You were here with your own parents, spending most of your time engaged in magic or school work. From what my powers have picked up from her, there's nothing malicious. Everything you're saying pretty much backs that up. Unless you've sensed something mystical, I wouldn't worry." He winked and nudged Ben with his elbow. "And if you're patient and caring, you'll get what you thought you were getting last night sooner rather than later. If not, you're going to soon realize how fast a human year goes. You're too new to this slow aging thing to know that. Believe me."
    Ben had never found out about that aspect of Felix's life. He wasn't a dragon, nor did he have a dragon mate, so he shouldn't have a dragon lifespan. Before he could voice the question, Felix continued.
    "Scan her. I'm assuming you've given her small, unassuming scans, but get her permission and do it completely. I'd be shocked if she refuses, but if she does, it doesn't mean anything major is necessarily wrong. It will mean, though, that you need to keep your eyes open."
    "Okay," Ben said. Something else jumped into his mind, and he took the chance to ask. "On another subject, remember a couple of days ago when I asked of resurrection?"
    "Yeah. I'm not senile yet."
    "My mistake. You being ancient and all."
    Felix opened his mouth to issue a retort, but instead laughed. "I was about to say I'm not much older than your parents thanks to the difference of dragon and human years, but then I remembered you probably think they're ancient."
    "Well, they are." He did his best to keep a straight face.
    Felix shook his head. "I'm guessing your question is when. The answer to that is soon. Let's get Alexandria caught up a bit first, and then we'll worry about it. Okay?"
    "That sounds good, but my main question is about what it is. I mean, what do I have to do to get the spell? I take it it's more than training like with all the other spells?"
    "To be honest, I don't know. I wasn't allowed to take the trial, and those who do are discouraged from talking about it."
    "Wait, you weren't powerful enough to take the trial? That doesn't sound right."
    "Actually, I was given the choice of keeping my dragon lifespan or gaining the power of
