When the dragons first encountered the newly arrived humans, they saw them as beasts, fearful, gibbering, and hiding from everything. When offered a proper greeting the humans cowered and tried to kill the dragon who first approached.

Trissy, Heron’s mate, is as likely as anyone to call for someone to…
