ELEA'S POV

When you really start thinking about it, it's odd that the dragons haven't attacked in a few days.  It's a good kind of odd, but the most they ever go is a week.  You're surprised the king hasn't done anything efficient about it...not that you'd ever say that to his face.

You decide to talk to some of your friends about it.  It hasn't been a week yet, but the dragons rarely ever let Norrle go that long in relative peace.

Myazou is your most trusted friend, and she has a pretty good brain in her head, so you go to her first.  "Isn't it odd how the dragons haven't attacked for a few days?"

"I mean, I don't mind the peace, but it's...strange, I guess," she muses.  "I'd love to know why."

"I think I'll be investigating that," you say, "and you could help me out if you want."

"Sure.  But how will you investigate it?  They're large flying creatures that are hard to track," Myazou says.

"You remember how I told you I saw a girl riding the dragons?  I think we could start by trying to track her down."

"You also said you'd never seen her before.  That'll make it difficult," Myazou points out.  "I'm not going to track someone who's impossible to track."

"Not impossible...we just have to ask others and see if anyone else has seen her," you say.  "Even then, though, I don't know whether it will work, but it might."

ZIRCON'S POV

You return to your dragon colony's nest.  Cierein seems more than glad to drop you off.  Have you really overstayed your welcome?  Impossible.  Humans are better than dragons, therefore your dragons must listen to you.  You'll have to do something about that.

You glare at Cierein.  "I demand you listen to me!"

"No.  You're just an imbecile human.  The colony we just attacked launches regular attacks on your human kingdom of Norrle.  We're even stronger.  Imagine what damage we could do to you."

You flinch back.  "I repeat: listen to me, you stupid dragon!"
