Uje nudged your legs with his snout and shook his head. He was kneeling on the ground, and waiting for you.

You guys were very so close now. You could see the island clearly, less than 500 meters away. That's when the birds launched another surprise attack, this time tearing the dragon's left wing membrane completely, making it flip. He tried to grab you with a claw but missed, and he roared, falling into the clouds below. Just as you, too, were beginning to fall, claws grab you from behind.

It took Kaylah a moment to realize what had happened. It all happened so quickly.

"Dragon!" she cried.

(Since you didn't kill me for Galvana...)

The white mochi popped out of your mouth, making you choke for a second. It then fell to the ground in front of you, a bit dazed. The bigger mochi and all other animals stared at you weirdly, as if you'd just gave birth to a mochi with your mouth.

You could see no trace of the dragon as he fell below the cloud level. The claws grabbing you tightly began to take you higher.

Kalyah cried, there was nothing to do but get taken away and watch her first friend fall.

A blast of fire from above nearly singes you as it passes by, missing you and instead charring some too-close-for-comfort flesh eating birds.

"You want me to hop on you?" she asked

"Ah, right." The dragon seems to remember something. "You humans don't know this stuff. So, a mother lays a bunch of eggs. That bunch of eggs is a clutch. What's the human word for this? I think sibling, correct? I'm the prince's sibling."

"Aren't you a prince then too?" I ask

Uje nodded furiously. The fire was creeping closer second by second, it was now licking at your toes.

"Hmm?" The dragon tilt's his head. "Oh, no. The eldest is." He winged his way around the island towards some caves in the bottom half of the island (check image on first page for ref if u want).
