cried. It hurt!
Leon whined so Nyle carefully bent down so his pretty wolf could see.
"Nyle!" Gail gasped as she rushed into his caves. "Don't move, we'll get that fixed. Right Toel?" she called behind her.
Toel changed into his human form as he entered and nodded. "Aye. Nyle, let me see."
Leon braced his paws down on Nyle's hurt one, careful to avoid the claws as he held Nyle still. Toel reached for the hilt.
"Change to human form when Toel takes it out," Gail said gently, turning human herself and ripping off long strips of cloth from her dress.
With a grunt, Toel pulled the sword free. Nyle screamed again; his paw hurt!
Leon's whining reminded Nyle that if he wanted to hug his pretty to feel better, he needed human shape. It took a while because it was difficult to concentrate with a gaping hole in his hand, but Nyle finally found his human form. He immediately wrapped his good arm around Leon and buried his face and his tears into the wolf's shaggy shoulder.
Gail was gentle as she wrapped Nyle's hand. "It's not so bad," she said soothingly. "If you're careful it should be fully healed by this time tomorrow."
Nyle whimpered and took his injured hand back so he could carefully wrap it in Leon's fur. Three of his fingers wouldn't bend, and his hand hurt!
Gail sighed and moved away. "Well?" she asked.
"Tis naught save a bump on his skull," Toel rumbled as he stood after checking on the human lying on the floor.
"It looks like his shirt was shredded by claws," Gail said with a speculative giggle. "I guess that's why Leon's fuzzy instead of human."
Leon snorted and nuzzled Nyle's hair gently.
"You saved our Nyle," Gail agreed.
The man on the floor groaned and his eyes fluttered as he slowly regained consciousness. He had black hair carefully cropped tight to his skull and his eyes were blue. Nyle thought he looked familiar, but his hand was more important than the human who attacked him, so Nyle didn't worry much about it. Toel and Gail moved to hover menacingly over the man.
"Thou hast broken hoard law, human," Toel snarled, his face human but his voice very clearly not.
The man blinked in surprise and struggled to sit up properly.
"If you are the dragons, then you have committed the first crime," the man snapped back groggily as he dropped his head into his hands.
Leon whined suddenly and pulled away from Nyle with a gentle lick along Nyle's cheek. Nyle curled himself around his hand and glared at the human. Leon began to shift into his human form at Nyle's side.
"You hurt me!" Nyle whimpered, his voice punctuated by the snaps and moans caused by Leon shifting. "Why did you stab me with the sword you stole?"
"You kidnapped my brother and have to ask why I have done these things?" the man asked incredulously as he glared through the fingers holding his head up.
"No one has kidnapped me, Bast," Leon said as he struggled to his feet. "I have a feeling you've been lied to."
Bast lifted his head slowly to look at where Leon had just appeared in the place of the wolf.
"That's not possible," Bast said slowly. "My source would not lie to me. I was told my brother Leon had been captured by marauding dragons and forced to become a werewolf. If I could free him, Felix and I would have a powerful ally against our father."
"Which brother are you?" Gail asked.
Leon sighed. "This is Prince Bast, Captain of the Guard and the Royal Forces, and the king's second son. Prince Felix is the heir, but I don't know where he is. And I have not been kidnapped by marauding dragons, Bast. I think the magi found your source."
"They are subjugating the human populace now that their presence has been exposed?" the Eldest asked as he strode into Nyle's caves. "I expected something of the sort to happen, but not to be attacked by one of the men for whom we were searching."
"Eldest!" Toel and Gail gasped.
The Eldest nodded politely to the dragons before turning to Nyle.
"Young An'nanyle, I heard your pain. Are you all
