“You have got to be shitting me!”

“I’m not. That’s Keerah. And look when I do this.”

This, was arrow heads on the end of the lines, now extended just beyond the dots.

Willow looked totally shocked. The rest of the dragons were confused. But Bruce was enjoying our reactions.

“Are you saying Keerah was the dragon homeworld, and there was an exodus from there at some point fanning out into the core in all directions?”

“I’m suggesting it as an option we’ve not considered.”

“Fuck me!” exclaimed Bruce, suddenly. He looked around hurriedly, obviously embarrassed. “Not literally. Sorry. You remember when we were looking for water descendants of dragons?” I nodded. “Well, guess what?”

“No,” exclaimed Willow.

“Yes. There’s something underwater on that planet.”

Willow looked at me suddenly.

“What if that’s what the cave images were telling us?”

“It’s possible, but why put them out in the galactic boonies when their homeworld was in the core?”

“Maybe they put them everywhere they went,” suggested Rustock.

“Maybe they put them where someone told them to put them,” said Leanne.

“You mean highers?”

“Of course I mean highers. Some higher made sure we found them in the first place.”

Her face changed to one of major surprise.

“Now what?”

Another image popped up. It was a rock face, with what seemed like a random series of indentations in it.

“That looks the same to me,” said Bruce. “Isn’t it?”

The depression in the middle was deeper than the others, and when Leanne overlaid the lines, it looked the same. When she overlaid the map itself, only the Earth dot wasn’t there.

“How come we’ve not seen this before?” asked Willow.

“Bree only found it yesterday,” said Leanne. “It was in a different chamber, and a lot harder to see. She had no idea what it was, and neither did I until just now.”

“It still doesn’t confirm anything,” I said. “If the rock drawing had lines on it, then I’d believe it was a map. I can accept that it is a representation of where the dragons settled, but there’s nothing to confirm that Keerah was the dragon’s original homeworld.”

“Um,” said Bruce, getting everyone’s attention, but not saying anything else.

“Something to add?” I asked him.

“Just a wild stab in the dark.”

“Why would you stab in the dark?” asked Thanig.

“It’s just an expression. It means a leap of faith. Well, sort of. More like a guess from the ‘this can’t possibly be true’ category.”

“It can’t be any wilder a notion than we’re already dealing with,” I told him.

“I wouldn’t be so sure about that, if I was you.”

“Bruce,” said Willow. “Just tell us.”

“What if Keerah isn’t the tiger’s homeworld?”

That stopped all of us cold.

Another dot appeared on the map, almost touching the Keerah dot.

“Zoom that in,” Leanne told Oak, making me think it was Oak who’d added the dot.

It zoomed in, until it was obvious only twelve jumps separated the two dots. We had that whole area under live monitoring.

“Isn’t that where I ate the last emperor?” asked Willow, looking at the new dot.

“It is.” Leanne looked around at all of us. “Maybe that is the Keerah homeworld, and where Keerah is now was the dragon homeworld.
