Chapter 27

It took two more sunrises for the Dragons to spot familiar territory. The land had been altered by the recent quakes leaving deep slices in the ground. Still, a smile and a surge of energy drove the Dragons homeward.

Rynik saw the towers of their mountain home, dazzling with the Sun’s rays splashed against them. Natural instincts took hold. A Dragon’s call ripped through air. One after another, his companions joined in.

Kaida filled with her longing for home, repositioned herself. She crouched on Zlemtec’s back, slipped her feet under the bindings, and stood. Her lungs filled with air and she exploded a bellowing roar, which startled the peoples much more than the Dragons. Even so, Zlemtec craned his head backwards to look at his Kaida, as pride flashed in his eyes.

The call of the Dragons brought the Hails out of all their caves. They flew down to the open ground below and congregated in a large mass, each excitedly answering the call. Out in front of them all, stood Starleira, the Queen of Mursei.

She first saw her Bonded, her king, leading the others home. Then, Kaida … is that our young hatching standing upright on Zlemtec, she questioned her own vision as she stared at the girl. How could that be? Her thoughts suddenly deterred as the next view came in sight. She caught her breath. All others saw too. An eerie silence replaced the deafening roars the Dragons had just made.

All flying Dragons were carrying riders! They brought strangers to their home. The silence was broken by astonished whispers which buzzed from Dragon to Dragon. The Queen of Mursei lifted an arm to quiet the noise.

The King of Mursei landed a few Dragon lengths away and allowed King Togar and his Faery folk to dismount. As the other Dragons landed, the King of Mursei greeted his queen.

“Starleira, it has been too long!”

She responded by embracing him and held tight to his arm. “My King!” She looked behind him and then back to his sparkling eyes. Before she could ask more, Kaida had jumped to the ground and ran to her.

“Sipta! I am home!” Kaida ran and threw her arms around the Queen, which brought tears and smiles to them both.

“My little Kaida,” murmured the Queen, softly caressing her before lifting up her chin. “How is it you have grown so much in such a short time?”

Kaida, in a whirlwind of excitement and flooded memories, spewed out snippets of her story which included a quick introduction of the peoples assembled behind her. “I thought I would never again see you or the rest of my family after the mighty quake that swallowed us whole! It is so wonderful to be home again.”

The Hails of Dragons had begun to shake off their shock and welcomed their Dragons and Kaida home again.

Perthorn and Kiel approached Zelspar.

Zelspar saw the look he first remembered seeing when they met. “Do not be worried. They will not harm you or any we bring to our home. You are a curiosity to them and I might add, they have only seen Zlemtec and Kaida fly as One.
