The silver streak lingered for a moment before it shot off ahead of them, as if expecting them to follow. It disappeared into the forest ahead in the blink of an eye.
"Okay. What in the world is going on here?" Kirgan asked in a low tone. "Why is..."
"Where's Adrienne's body? You laid her to rest... didn't you?"
It was not uncommon for a Dragon Lord to pick out a private, untouched location to lay his bonded to rest. Usually, it was the same spot he would be laid to rest if...or more often, when the severing took him.
At his own time, before the Dragon Lord's death, he would then reveal the location of his final resting place to someone trusted, and after the rites of honor were performed, his remains would be taken to that chosen location.
It was believed that only in this way could both be reunited in whatever lay thereafter. For this reason, Kirgan had not sought to know where Adrienne had been laid to rest.
