In fact, she's quite curious about it.</p> <p>She might get too close of a look at it, though. When Vera, another dragonling, rips open their tent with the intent of leaving with Karya in her belly, Maritza struggles to keep her charge out of the maw of malice.</p> <p>But it's looking like Karya's fate is to melt away while Maritza watches helplessly...</p> 2013-05-30T06:14:00Z https://writing.deliciousreya.net/series/protection/2013/05/30/protection-main-cast-bios/ <p>Short descriptions of Karya, Maritza, and Lethe to aid the reader and provide some backstory for the curious.</p> 2013-06-03T04:04:00Z https://writing.deliciousreya.net/series/protection/2013/06/03/protection-part-3/ <p>Temptation is in the air.

It's a really bad time, too - with Lethe still drugged on lamia venom, and Karya having possibly led their enemies straight to her lair, now would be an excellent time to have her head on straight.</p> <p>But maybe things will work out in their favor. Maybe nobody noticed their teleport. Maybe Lethe's going to be okay.
