Chapter 14

Duran trailed Royce through heavy trees some distance from the cave opening. The rumble of the river wasn’t far in the distance. Sparkling sunlight dotted the ground through the lush overhead canopy. If they’d been at home, it was the kind of day Duran loved getting outdoors to explore, letting his magic entwine with the world surrounding him, leaving him energized and at peace.

Today wasn’t one of those days though. Royce hunted for Kierei in his leopard form. As he followed at a meandering pace, Duran collected thin limbs and branches that were supple, stripping the shoots from the lengths before stuffing them into his pack. Remy was flying over the treetops, keeping watch for them. The reddish sun bore down on them from overhead, from a cloudless teal sky. The odd colors of foliage drew his eye as he moved among the trees. They’d experienced so much on this journey. A different world, the amazing creatures, discovering Kierei. And the fated crown. But they weren’t done yet. They had to try to patch up Kierei’s wing well enough to have him return home with them. None would leave the dragon to fend for himself. At least, no one that Duran called friend.

Finding a tree on the path with a drooping flap of loose bark, he tugged at it experimentally. It felt like linen between his fingers, supple and sturdy. Carefully, he peeled the white-hued sheet away from the trunk. He succeeded in pulling down the length to come away with at least a couple feet of long, wide, pliable ribbon. It was stringy if he tugged on the fibers on the drier end with his fingers, while the length felt light in his hands. It could be separated into thinner strips for ties or used as a sheet for stronger support. Rolling up the bark, it was added to his pack. With a hand on the tree, he offered a silent thank you then began to look for more in earnest. He found several trees with the same type of peeling bark to roll up and add to the one in his backpack already.

Needing to locate a few branches to be used specifically as support pieces, he was almost done with his searching. Duran honestly didn’t know how they were going to stabilize the wing without damaging the flight membrane, but he was going to do his best. He’d never attempted to set an injury like it. The dragon’s wing was shaped more like a bird’s wing. Kierei trusting them was an odd alliance, as well. That had to be Grayson’s doing, he realized while thinking over the day’s events. He was a very gentle sort, and the dragon had bonded with him quickly. Dragons, to his memory, had never existed on Kielbos, so it was impossible to say why Kierei was being so trusting or why Grayson specifically. Maybe it was the earth magic he’d explained connecting them? Was he able to understand the dragon so well
