Later that day I regrouped with Serena and Rachel. I introduced them to Ealandor and explained his part in the battle. He wordlessly carries off the dragon corpses to an unknown location and comes back. "You know." I say. "There is a pretty large cave just to the east of town that I haven't figured out what to do with yet. It could fit you with room to spare. It goes back and down pretty far. I haven't even explored all of it. We would love to have you live near us, you were a great help in the town's defense." He thinks for a moment, and smiles as much as a dragon can smile. "I would be honored to. Is there anything else you need?" He asks. "No I don't think so. Thanks for your help." "Ok. Then I'm off to check out the cave." "It's in the side of a hill. The hill goes up, then cuts off to a cliff. The cave is at the base of the cliff." I say. He lifts off, then flies away. I help with clean up and repairs for the rest of the day. Then I go home with Serena and we prepare for bed. I gained four more citizens today. Rachel and her parents, and Ealandor. What a success.
