Dragonkeeper 2: Garden of the Purple Dragon (2013)
“It was a woman. Her head wasbent low. She was sobbing softly.
Early morning light filtered through the bamboo walls. Ping had hoped that she would dream of Danzi and he would tell her what to do. But she hadn’t slept at all. She remembered the old dragon’s soft voice, the way his mouth sometimes looked like he was smiling, how he would point out things of interest with one of his talons.
“Hungry, hungry, hungry,” said a miserable dragon voice in her mind.
Ping stroked the little dragon, ashamed... that his second word only proved how much she had failed in her role as Dragonkeeper.
She felt around for something sharp. She broke off a long splinter from one of the bamboo canes and dug it into her arm, but it only scratched her. What she needed was a blade or a piece of broken pottery or a thorn from a rose bush. She wished the guards hadn’t taken her bag and her knife.
Then Ping realised she had the thing she needed at hand. The very same tool that Danzi had used to cut his flesh—a dragon’s talon.MoreLess
