It was a beautiful sunny day in Tortall and the air was sweet smelling. Daine and her horse Cloud were riding past a small valley when they heard a call. Instantly Daine felt scales, wings, and big creatures.
"Cloud, I felt dragons," Daine spoke softy and the mare nodded as if it understood.
Then Cloud went into a galloped to the near by village. Inside they saw few people and most doors and windows were locked. Daine found a squirrel behind the bushes in the thick leaves.
"Hello, mind telling us what happened?" asked Daine.
"Oh the dragons came, they were sighted along the valley," replied the squirrel.
Just then a tall man rushed out of the inn. He wore a thick coat and armed with a sword. His dark eyes seemed to hide emotions and feeling. Daine sensed The Gift in him.
"Young lady, you shouldn't be out in the afternoon where the dragon roam," said the man in a deep voice, "Come to the inn to be safe."
Daine and Cloud followed the man to the inn. The inn was nice and cozy with wooden floor. Suddenly another scream came from the sky. The guests were terrified. Once again Daine sensed the presence of dragons. Using her magic, Daine spoke to one of the dragons.
"Winged friend, why are you here in the mortal's ream?" asked Daine kindly.
"I am Sliver Claw, I came for my lost son." Replied the dragon.
"Why are you son lost Sliver Claw?" Asked Daine.
"My dear son, Winged Sky came with me to the mortal's real but a mortal kidnapped him." Replied Sliver Claw harshly. "The Stormwings said that he and a man came to this village so that is why I'm here." With a loud scream the dragon flew away.
"You were lucky," whispered a girl with a blue dress with pink ribbons, "Last time she burnt 5 houses."
Daine determined to find the kidnapper set off with Cloud. Not far in the open fields Daine heard a loud cry that is even fierce than Sliver Claw's scream. The new green dragon said something that she could not understand. She wished that she bought Kitten with her rather than leaving her with Numair and Tkaa. Just then the green dragon did a straight dive at Daine.
