Review the Hatchlings
Back to the Fledges
Bonded at Caer Talor Cliff
Dave and Bronze Saoith
Dave held on to the pack he had strapped down to the dragon's neck, and hoped that it would remain shut. "We're almost ready," he announced to Sabreya. The Caerlady nodded, but frowned.

"You're going to come back, aren't you?" She asked. "Your dragon might be... well, he'd be fine breeding stock you know."

"Yes, I know that," he said, and gave off an astoundingly egocentric smile. That smile slowly left his face. "When we do come back, I don't know about mating. Rita's ... well, Rita is the only woman who I know I could love, and if it's not her dragon that Saoith mates with, she might get jealous."

"You don't think it's because they're siblings, do you?" Sabreya smirked, and turning, she noticed the faint blush on the man's face. "They're okay that way, you know. It's nothing out of the ordinary. They did it in the wild before humanity bonded them, they'll do it long after we're done."

"I... See. Well, that might change things. Anyway, we do need to get going. I'm going to make sure our Clan is well and we're going from there."

"Then good luck to you three. You're welcome in the Caer if you need anything. But with your Clan's abilities in the wilderness I don't doubt you'll be back with more bonders before long anyway."

What an odd thing to say, Dave thought to Saoith.

I do not think so. You may underestimate your people. I would like to meet them now.


"Then let's get out of here." Dave walked to the ledge, and whistled loudly. It wasn't long after that Rita and Silver Asimith swooped up to where they were. "You ready?"

"Been there, done that," Rita announced, patting her own smallish pack. She traveled light.

Where is Pyr? Has he gone away again?


He's right over there, quiet. Dane is afraid to go home.


"We'll be fine, Dane," Rita said, and Dave nodded to her to encourage her. "But we do have to go now. It'll be getting on evening at Paniya and I don't really want to hunt around for a camp site the size of a coffee bean in the dark..."

At that, Dane perked up.

That's right, they have coffee on Paniya! I'd almost forgotten! I had coffee once! I liked it...

Dane thought to his brother, who rolled his eyes and chuckled. "Then come on, vibroboy, let's find you some coffee and our Clan."
