Sadie’s son had a thirst for knowledge that Matthias admired, even if it did mean his quiet sanctuary was invaded on a regular basis by the child. Matthias knew who those steps belonged to, and his disposition lightened a bit. The soft thump of little feet echoed in the cavernous space, dulled slightly by the papers and leather-bound tomes that filled the shelving. As far as the horde was concerned, the vaults were Matthias’s domain. Since no one came down to the vaults, no one had challenged his claim. He was moody and antisocial at the best of times and preferred his own company to that of other dragons.Īt the back of the library, he dropped the scrolls unceremoniously on top of the desk he’d claimed as his, decades ago. Matthias often disappeared for days within the vault stacks, and no one cared. The sheer number of scrolls he was carrying guaranteed weeks of sequestered reading, and he was looking forward to it. He had no idea what was contained in the newest additions to the horde library, but Sadie had insisted he take them, look through them, and archive them appropriately. After adjusting the stack of scrolls tucked beneath his arm, Matthias opened the door to the vaults and headed down the stairs.
