Heron’s Bonds

Heron is of course the human that wandered with Grabon for 30 cycles. He knows more about dragons than he does about humans When the story begins. He was only twenty cycles when they met and probably twenty five when he and Grabon crossed their power lines and forged the intense psychic link that makes them companions.

Heron has at least fifty cycles when the first story begins, so the majority of his life has been as a companion to a dragon. Even though he had been engaged to make vows with a woman before her death, his concept of love and commitment is more in line with the dragon concept than the human idea of a match.

The tragedy of the fires wiped out Heron’s connections to most humans until he forged some bonds with Gordon and through him to the Farmers. Little by little as Grabon settles, Heron is reconnecting with his humanity. The planet offers him a rare and wonderful opportunity to share his mind in a full bond with a human female and you’ll have to read the story to find out what happens.
