Chapter Six

It got noisy far too early in the desert. Mostly because a lot of people were waking up and talking to their neighbors and breakfast was sizzling over the fire. It smelled great, Aqua's rumbling stomach happily informed him.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw that it was just barely past dawn. The sun was visible over the endless horizon of tan scrub, but only just. Pink and orange colors streaked across the sky with only the barest sliver of bright yellow beginning to show. The chill of the night was still heavy across Aqua's skin, making him wish he had a blanket. It would warm up quickly as the sun continued to rise, Aqua knew. The sun would get unbearably hot, and Ash would burn and blister without proper shelter, which these dragons and salamanders lacked entirely.

Aqua carefully rolled away from Ash, untangling their limbs. Luckily Aqua had been using Ash for a pillow so it was easy enough to get free without waking Ash up. Aqua moved far enough away that his larger dragon form wouldn't squish Ash and then shifted forms. He crawled back to Ash and carefully spread one wing over Ash's sleeping form. With Ash completely covered in shadow, Aqua relaxed. He tried to go back to sleep, but the smell of cooking food was so strong and so yummy, he couldn't manage it.

A plate appeared in front of his face almost as if his rumbling stomach had conjured it. Aqua blinked at it for a moment before noticing the hand gripping the edge.

"I guess I shouldn't have brought you a fork and knife," Boron said with a laugh. "Good idea to keep your friend there safe from the sun. I'm sorry we can't do any better, but keeping him in the shade should help." He passed Aqua the plate, which he awkwardly took with his claws. It took all of three seconds for Aqua to lick the plate clean, which only made Boron laugh. "Looks like you're hitting a growth spurt," Boron said around a chuckle.

"Finally," Aqua grumbled. "Rios grew two inches over the winter and I didn't."

"Dragons have to grow mentally first before they start filling out physically," Boron replied with an understanding shrug. "Looks like you'll be catching up to Rios pretty soon."

There was a rustling noise from underneath Aqua's wing, and he suddenly felt a hand running gently across the underside of his wing. Boron winked at him and strode off.

"It's my wing, Ash," Aqua explained. "To keep the sun off you."

"It's still too bright. I can't open my eyes," Ash said.

"Well that won't do," Dr. Krantz said jovially.

Aqua jumped in surprise and craned his next around. Dr. Krantz was standing on Aqua's right side, away from his spread wing. He had a plate of food in one hand and a fork in the other. A woman was standing next to him. Her skin was darkly tanned from the sun, which made her vibrant red hair and scales shine. She
