Chapter Eleven

We flew down the rocky coast, avoiding any sign of people or cities. It was difficult to do. The Rock Eaters were far more populous than I could have dreamed of and their cities sprung up all along the coast, with small villages and large fishing installations in between the cities.

“Shouldn’t we fly out to sea away from them all?” I asked when we skirted the first town, flying low through the trees in a nearby forest to avoid notice.

“The Troglodytes have arranged a meeting with you south of here. This is the fastest route to get there,” Vyvera said. “And despite the danger, the meeting is too important to risk missing. We have to get you and Nasataa there as quickly as possible.”

Despite the need to avoid towns, Vyvera talked often when we were in safer locations.

“Baby dragons grow quickly,” she said about an hour after we took off from the cave. “He’ll double in size every week for the first few months and he’ll sleep most of the day.”

Nasataa was sleeping in the pack on my back, completely unimpressed or unafraid by our flight through the air.

“He’ll eat almost anything he can, so make sure you keep him fed or he’ll eat that bag he’s in,” Vyvera warned. “He doesn’t need a lot, just constant care and love. He’ll get into trouble if you aren’t watching carefully, and dragons need a close bond with the ones who raise them – in this case, you – in order to grow to healthy adult dragons.”

It was a big responsibility, but of course I was willing to do all of that for Nasataa. He deserved a protector who was willing to care for him the way he deserved.

“He’ll start talking soon. Dragons learn that quickly. So, be ready. It can be a shock when they speak into your mind.”

She paused as we all went silent, avoiding a large, sprawling farm.

“How do you know all of this?” I asked her when we’d passed the farm. “Do they teach this somewhere?”

Vyvera laughed. “There are training schools for dragon riders, like Dragon School in the Dominion. And there are other lands where dragons are ridden – a different type of dragon than the dragons descended from Haz’Drazen. I was trained in Dragon School, but I didn’t stay there. I was visiting Haz’drazen’s lands on a request from the Dominar when the Truth Wars started. I would have wanted to return home to help defend my city, but Damokas was wounded and we had to stay while he healed. I was found by the Troglodytes while I waited there and they set me on a different course.”

“What course?” I asked.

She laughed. “Finding Nasataa. His birth was prophesied and so was yours. I only had to find you in time.”

“I guess I’m lucky that you found me now,” I said.

“I was almost too late. The staff can help guide me, but it is not very clear sometimes. I’ve been looking for months. If you hadn’t used those portals, I might not have found you at all.
