one of the
drifting sailors before the waves swept the meal away. Imagining
the raging waters to be wind, the dragon dived as if he were in
typical flight. Below, the currents weren’t so forceful.
After what
seemed like an entire day, Gaar at last emerged on the beach. He
skulked out of the thrashing tide like a drenched cat, with a hole
in one wing and eyes stinging from brine.
After a brief rest, the dragon carried
his meager fodder into the cave. Gaar
brightened as joyful youngsters greeted him. Since the death of his
mate, he had to raise their second brood alone.
It would be
quite some time before he could fly. They would be settling for
small, coastline prey. Unpleasant for majestic dragons, perhaps,
but not dire. The young were nearly ready to hunt for
themselves.
As he settled
and watched their progeny, Gaar knew his mate would be pleased.
