Tour Of Kippernium Part 3
After the children & Jane quenched their thirst, Jane took the girls & Timothy up to Dragon's cave for a visit.
"Who would care for a dragon hug?" Dragon asked the four girls & Timothy.
"You know I would like one, Dragon." Jane said.
"I would also like a hug from you, Dragon!" Sofia exclaimed.
"Me too, Dragon!" Candice exclaimed.
"Me too, Dragon!" Dorrie agreed.
"How about you, young man?" Dragon asked Timothy in a kind voice.
"You mean, he doesn't bite?" Timothy asked.
"Of course not," Dragon said. "I am a very gentle creature!"
"With gentle people that is." Jane piped up.
"Oh, well," Timothy yawned. "that... sure... is... good... news... to... hear..."
Dorrie & Candice could hear Timothy's soft breathing.
"Timothy fell asleep." Dorrie whispered.
"He must be exhausted." Candice, Sofia, and Jane whispered.
"Quick, everyone, get on my back," Dragon whispered so as to not arouse Timothy. "I'll see to it that you all get back to the castle safely."
Since Jane had to hold the young magician taking forty winks, Dorrie sat near Dragon's head with Candice sitting between her & Jane.
A few minutes later, the girls arrived in the Kippernia Castle throne room with Jane carrying a still resting Timothy in her arms.
"Timothy!" Chef Andre exclaimed in a worried whisper.
"Jane," King Caradoc demanded in a low whisper. "what has happened here?"
