Toes and Tails

I mentioned in other posts that dragons are sensitive about their tails, fingers, and toes; much like human males are sensitive about their balls, females protect their breasts, and both human sexes defend their faces.

I might have neglected to mention that dragons are also sensitive about their wings, although not in the same way. A dragon with a permanent injury to a wing might consider ending his or her life on the rocks rather than live without flight.

In an upcoming book, (book 8) readers will meet Jommy who aside from other challenges, she has a severely injured wing. It is painful, but it also messes with her confidence and self perception. A flightless dragon is considered of less use to the planet. A dragons most important purpose is to serve the planet’s needs.

When you meet Jommy, you will be rooting for her recovery, almost as much as Thane is.
