Pumice Plains

On the fourth morning of their journey, Mack noticed Wren had doubled in size and was eating more. They had stopped for a break on a high plateau to feed him.

"Breakfast is served." Mack dropped a deer in front of Méi. He had been lucky enough to catch it on the way up to their hideaway on a high cliff. It had panicked when it had seen him and had run into a tree, making itself easy prey to grab.

"Thank you." Mei immediately sliced the prime cuts for Wren, then cut steaks for the riders.

"Look, it's the foothills of the Great Volcanic Mountains," Suki said, looking through her scope. She didn't sound as excited about the mission since she found out Méi was pregnant. Sending Wren home would not improve her mood, if anything, Méi would become more aggressive with anyone coming around her own pups.

Mack smiled at her as he took up his sphinx pose to sniff the air for any danger; it smelled earthy and emotional.

Must be Suki still upset.

Poor Suki was trying hard but had told him last night she felt like she was failing as a dragon rider. But the truth was that, of all the villagers, she was probably the only one who could handle a mother Fire Dragon. Méi had even growled at Mack twice and he was her husband, and the father of her eggs.

Méi waited for Suki to dismount before sitting up on her hind quarters and dropping meat in for Wren. Her scales bumped around as he played with the pieces of meat before eating them.

"Look, he is starting to hunt already, the dear," Méi cooed over him. He was no longer hidden beneath her hind quarters. There was an obvious telltale bulge of an infant, and he was bored. He wanted out to play. "Oh no, sweet Wren." Méi patted her pouch. "We are too far away from home to get out and run around." Apparently, he would not have any of her overprotecting. He climbed out quickly, nipping and wrestling with Méi's hind paw.

"Wow, he has really grown," Misty said, moving to stand behind Mack. “He no longer looks emaciated. In fact, he looks like he might be getting a bit fat.”

Suki also moved closer to Mack. "You know, I think he has horn and wing buds? His scales are deep blue-black and not jet black. I don't think he's a run-of-the-mill Stone dragon."

Mack was about to comment when the earthen scent became stronger.

A voice came from just over the edge of the cliff: "Don't burn me."

~~~

Dunia could smell the other dragons, and prayed it was the ones mentioned in the message she received from the White Witch. She dug her claws into the side of the cliff, and peeked an eye over the edge.

A red dragon quickly stuffed a small pup back into her pouch, and blew flames out over the entire area. She ducked to use the edge of the cliff to shield herself. What if they wouldn’t allow her to come with them? She couldn’t stay out here by herself anymore.
