Penley has his dragon back, but he's not sure what to do with him.

When the mages followed the trail leading to Peyton—who's now Meyer—they didn't expect to find that he wasn't alone. Penley is glad to have Devon—Bennett—back, but he feels it would have been better to find one of the two dragons they're still missing instead. His ability to use earth magic isn't very useful, and he feels guilty that Keylon and Dallin are still missing their shields while he has his.

Bennett doesn't remember his past life, but he doesn't need to. He and Meyer followed the mages back to their castle, and he believes it was the right choice. Here, they're not only protected, but they're also given the chance to get to know other dragons.

And Penley.

Bennett wants Penley, but Penley is resisting. He doesn't feel like he deserves to be happy considering the circumstances, but Bennett wants to show him he does. He just needs Penley to give him a chance.

With two dragons still missing and Carlyle gearing up for trouble, the mages and the dragons they've already found can't afford to be distracted. Love isn't a distraction, though. It's a reason to fight, and both Bennett and Penley are ready to do just that.
