Chap. 248 Roany Rahman’s assistant approached him as he finished repacking Greta’s backpack. “Hmm,” he said, “Wonder who put a bug in HER bustle?” K’ndar looked up from his bench. “I’m..um, what?” The man laughed. “Oh, that’s an old saying. You know Rahman, he’s always coming up with these incredibly old sayings that have no…

Chap. 247 The Backpack Do I open it here? He regarded the soaking wet backpack at his feet. At the same time, he began to feel odd. His mind was fuzzy and he felt tired, as if he’d run a horse race with the horse on his back. And lost, he thought. Oh. I bet…

Chap. 246 Risky Recovery K’ndar, squatting on his haunches on the very brink of the cliff, wondered what to do. 1000 meters below him was the few shattered bones of a dragon and its rider. But the rider’s backpack was above the waterline. G. The rider was named G something. If anything survived the crash…

Chap. 245 In the Strait K’ndar wasn’t sure if he liked the time zone cure. He felt jittery, as if he’d taken some stimulant. Part of his mind was over alert, and his body was not. But he had to admit, it worked. He was wide awake in the daylight at Western. Raventh had landed…

Chap. 244 The Magic Potion Getting up much too early, K’ndar found himself wandering in observatory’s empty dining hall.

Chap. 241 Memories of a Mistake He had been fascinated at how adroitly the Serengeti‘s Master had eased the ship from the wharf. How a ship could move like that, with just sails? Now as she cleared the harbor, her yards blossomed with sails and she pulled away swiftly. He saw Harve waving good bye.…

Chap. 240 On The Wharf Raventh, hovering within meters of the surface of the wharf, felt the weight of the load of lightwood beneath him vanish. It’s down. Good. Quick releasing now K’ndar flipped the quick release on the harness and the cargo straps released from the netting on the load. “Well done, dragonrider! Load…

Chap. 239 Impromptu Dismount “That was fun, K’ndar, it was fun to go home and see Mum and our cousins! They’re so little but Natana can ride just as good as you and me. Her pony is so cute!!” Glyena said, as K’ndar released the buckles holding her into the harness. “I got on her…
