The other dragons and I were slowly making our way towards the human settlement. I thought back to earlier before we left the nest.
The left head on a Zippleback had hiccuped. I remember the suspense and hope, but our Queen remained underneath the cover of the red mist.
She knew nothing of the prophecy . The one line that an ancient dragoness spoke before she took her final breath.
'A hiccup will be our saviour.'
But whenever a dragon hiccup's. She still lies there and we would be bitterly disappointed.
All dragons sighed when the island came into view.
We put the hiccup behind us.
We had work to do.
