Chap. 233 The Skull (Author’s note: a drawing of the skull (at the end of this post) can be seen if you access my blog’s website. (https://dragonnomads.wordpress.com or https:// dragonnomads.blogspot.com.) I don’t think it will come through in email format.) K’ndar reflected that this was the second time he’d unintentionally been released from a task…

Chap. 232 Headache The sun had set. Several dragons were launching in the last of the light, flying towards the mountain for the night. Are you going to spend all night out? he asked Raventh. I don’t know. I’m still talking to the others. I’ll be in after a while. Okay. What about Siskin? I…

Chap. 231 Sunset It’d been a long day. He and Raventh had made three trips, shuttling people to Landing for the selection of Council members. Now the ‘honored guests’ were comfortably settled into various dorms. Many were having an impromptu get together in the dining hall, as the entire next day was scheduled for the…

Chap. 230 Turn’s End was coming. The winter solstice was traditionally the end of one year and beginning of the next, and for millennia, the day had been called “Turn’s End”, with the week following the solstice called Turnover. It was a time to celebrate, to be with family and friends, to reflect on lessons…

Chap. 229 Innovation Breakfast over, he walked to his office. The concept of having a workspace all to himself was still something he was learning to accept. The red sky told him that wet weather was coming. Harve had said they were expecting a storm. I want to return those ropes, he thought. Serengeti will…

Chap. 228 The Burglar “It looks pretty stable, K’ndar. You might want to drop that crate downwind of the composting station,” G’aryk said. He, his wife Leana and K’ndar had launched with their loads. Raventh hovered, getting the feel of the heavy crate beneath his belly. “Good idea!” K’ndar called. Below them, Harve waved at…

Chap. 227 Dolphin recovery K’ndar looked with dismay at the size of the giant crate. “My harness isn’t going to be able to handle that big a load,” he said. “We’re just about to warp it over the side,” Harve said. K’ndar saw two crewmen finish harnessing the slatted crate. Inside was a large lump…

Chap. 226 Unusual Cargo This was a great idea! he said to Raventh. The dragon merely laughed as he swam. Cove Hold was beautiful. The beach was soft, white sand, the cove itself a perfect half circle. It was situated just so, the surf a gentle lapping rather than the pounding one that sometimes hit…

Chap. 225 Flight Non Ops “K’ndar, I believe you’ve a good grasp on what this job entails, ” Lefsa said, “and I’m confident that you won’t have many problems. The best thing about it is you may set your own schedule. Meaning, if you want to sleep in all morning and come to work in…

Chap. 224 Grafton “Good morning, Francie!! And who is your friend?” This is Grafton? K’ndar thought. The tiny, wizened man in the chair in a small office was NOT what he was expecting. For some reason, he’d expected a male Hariko, but with Oscoral’s build. It was hard to see him in the darkened room.…
