A Terran Times Novella – Working in Mediation has been a challenge, but dealing with a temperamental dragon who claims her is a whole new job for Nya. Nya has enjoyed her time on Arcros, mediating minor disputes and arranging marriages. She never expected that she had been offered the position based on her suitability to be a Draikyn mate, and that her soon to be lover was working his way through stone pathways to her side. Hyfor is not what she was expecting, but as she was expecting to work in obscurity, she wasn’t really prepared for anything.
