The dragons, proud and fierce in flight, Guard ancient truths and sacred rights. Their eggs are gems of breath and flame, Yet stolen now in power’s name. Ryuki How in the world did Skylar think she was going to leave her dragon? It’s impossible. Cyryl may not be able to fly yet, but there’s no way she’s going to allow Skylar to leave her. She may only be a hatchling, but that doesn’t mean she can’t and won’t call the thunder to war. ‘What does Ylys say?” I ask, leaning against Bynjym as I watch over Skylar and Cyryl. He’s quiet long enough that I turn to look at him. Rather than looking at Cyryl and Skylar, he’s watching Ylys. ‘She’s wondering if she missed something about Skylar. She’s wondering if she should have bonded with her before Cyryl did. She’s second guessing herself.’
