A Sending of Dragons
“The watch was set: three men and three women at a time, with a child between them, waited by the nest. Jakkin supposed they were there to guard the eggs from any flikka, though the caverns had seemed curiously without life. And to report when the eggs started hatching.
Jakkin and Akki were dragged along to make up one of the watch teams. They kept their vigil for less than an hour, or so it seemed, squatting on their heels and staring silently at the now-hardened pyramid of eggs.
Jakkin’s stoma...ch was still queasy and he wondered if he were clutched, which is how trainers linked to a dragon often felt when the hen was laying. But this wasn’t his dragon and he was hardly linked with her, at least any more than the rest were. He suspected it was just plain fear. And what was that fear? It had something to do with the bloody sendings, that much he knew. And something about the way the cave people greedily devoured their dragon stew. But he’d had friends like that at the nursery and they’d never frightened him.MoreLess
