The Dragon Healer of Tone (World of Tone)
unconscious and near death. Terra approached while Yellic watched. He placed one hand on the tail and one on the leg of the dragonette. His hands started to glow orange as before. Slowly, the orange glow covered the injuries. Through the glow, Yellic watched the tail tissues rebuild and the forming of new muscles. The little dragonette’s leg bones knit together and the muscle covering them. The skin came together and finally the glow fading to nothing. Terra dropped to his knees, completely exhausted. Fienna rushed to him, folding her wings around his small body.
    “I knew I should not have let you do this. It took all your strength,”
    Fienna thought to Terra.
    “I’m fine.”
    “No, you are not. You just lay here,” Fienna frowned.
    As Fienna held Terra, she felt his weakness. She pulled him close to her, and it felt different, strange. She slowly realized that Terra was blocking her somehow.
    “What are you doing?” she asked.
    “I felt your strength flow into my body, and I am stopping it.”
    For the first time, Fienna realized that she could give him her strength. Terra, in his weakened condition, could not resist Fienna’s will to help him, and her life-force filled him with renewed strength.
    The two of them were a little tired now, but both were well.
    Yellic could not believe what she saw. The little human completely healed all the injuries leaving not even a scar. Her son’s eyes opened.
    She nuzzled and licked him. She helped him stand, and he seemed weak but healthy.
    Her son slowly hopped to Fienna and seeing Terra in her wings said,
    “Thank you for healing me. Can I help?”
    “No, he will be fine in a little while,” Fienna said.
    Yellic went to Dawra and thanked her. She could not express the feelings she had at that moment. Dawra understood for she had the same feeling when Fienna was injured then healed by this little human.
    Although dragons were solitary creatures for the most part, word of Terra’s powers slowly moved through their society. Yellic brought her son to play with Fienna and Terra from time to time. The three became friends, and Yellic swore she’d always protect Terra.

Chapter 19 - First Flight
    (The First Step to Leaving the Nest.)
    339 set of seasons since the coming of the Averons
     
     
    As time passed, little Terra grew slowly but strong. His body was not slender and delicate looking but powerful and stocky. His muscular body resembled a dragon more than a human. Dawra even considered him attractive for a human. He could run and play with Fienna even though she was almost six times larger than he was. They were going to the grassy fields above the cave daily now. The two would play, but Fienna had started to flap her wings as they ran. It was her natural desire to fly that drove this unconscious action.
    The sun-risings passed, and Fienna’s wings grew stronger and stronger. Terra could feel her wings grow powerful. One sun-rising while running, she lifted off the ground. It was only for a moment, but she was definitely flying. Fienna was so excited she tried again and again; each time staying in the air a bit longer. Dawra decided it was time to begin Fienna’s flying lessons. Dawra’s mother had taught her, and it was now time for her to do the same for her daughter. Dawra took Fienna to the edge of the clearing, held her daughter up by grasping her body below her wings, and told her to spread her wings as far as she could. Dawra then launched herself and Fienna into the air. Fienna felt the wind flowing around her wings. It felt so good and seemed so natural. Dawra flew Fienna over the forest and the clearing for a long while. She landed on the edge of the clearing and put Fienna down.
    They did this every sun-rising for one moon turning. Then one sun-rising, instead of taking off, Dawra told Fienna it was time for her to fly on her own. Dawra explained what she was going to do and what Fienna should do. Then she held Fienna in the air above the clearing and
