After two cups of tea and pacing for two hours, she finished the history, and her brain felt fuzzy. Dragons had been the heroes and villains of their own story for thousands of years and had recorded it all.

The dragons who had earlier risen against humanity had written down their motivations, and with only a few exceptions, they wanted to better the lot of the people in the area under the boot of the nobility. Dragons didn’t hate all humans, just some select ones.

When she had gotten to her namesake, she had been surprised. Adolla had five children and a husband when she chose to make the exploration flight because only those with her speed and particular skills were suited to it. She forbade her children from following her, and that irritated them, but her husband stood by her on the day she took flight. He watched for her every day until she returned, and when she informed the council of the heading for the flight, he had the children start packing immediately.

Symran, the jet dragon, was a good and caring husband. When they made it to the new continent, he built their home, and eventually, they had three more children.

During the passage, Symran had carried an entire village on his back. Adolla had carried their children, and she had chosen the site of her home and the city they were currently living in. It was high, on stone, defensible and there were enough forests around to keep the other shifters happy.

Explaining to the locals that their people wore two forms had been tricky, but once the language barrier was worked through, the village explained their own history, which included strangers coming and turning their people into beasts.

That gave the dragons pause. They explained that it was the tradition for shifters to come to those of their blood and help to bring the beast out, to protect the change between human and animal.

A few examples later and a close bond had been made that now included an exchange of shifters and locals to increase understanding.

The rest of the history was dotted with human incursion into the new and safe land and minor territory skirmishes between dragons and shifter groups, which brought on the necessity for the councils. With the right to not only police their own kind, but also call on the dragons or others for help, the council system made things stable.

She closed the book and looked around. She had no idea where she had wandered to.

“Uh, Brommin?”

There was no reply for a moment, and then, she heard a voice from a distance. “Yes?”

“I have gotten lost near the collection of...” She looked around. “The erotic works of the lion shifters.”

“I am on my way.” There was laughter in his voice, and it took him five minutes to find her.

She sighed and walked toward him when she saw him. “Thank you.”

“No, thank you. Most start wandering toward my voice, and they get tangled in the stacks.” He smiled. “Have you finished?”

“I have.
