Freckles turned away, the mystery and excitement of leaving suddenly gone, but knew she still had to say good-bye. She walked over to Khala and Madra. {Khala... it isn't forever. We'll see each other again, you'll see. We'll come back to visit, and if you're getting lonely, you can always come searching for us.}

Khala nuzzles Madra and Freckles. {Thank you both so much.}

Sfor nuzzled Khala. {We'll be back. Not all who wander are lost. We will bring back as many young dragons as we can find. It's time for dragons to live again. Good-bye,} she said, swallowing the emotion that clawed up her throat. {But not forever. Never forever.}

Tired from his long run - not to mention hungry - Old Silverback slowed to a trot as he neared the hatching cave. He could smell the dragons inside, but there was no scent of humans - all to the good. He clambered inside, only to be greeted by the somewhat odd spectacle of Sfor nuzzling Khala while Madra curled up on the floor nearby and Freckles just stood around. Was Khala sick? He stiffled the worry in his heart; there was no scent of illness and although many of the gathered dragons appeared to be sad, they did not look unduly concerned.
The cave sure felt smaller with so many dragons in it... good thing he had found a new one, where he had safely transferred a fresh bash of eggs. {I'm back!} he announced. {What did I miss?}

Pax saw Old Silverback running back to the cave after he finished his fish. He went running after him going as fast as he could. Paz reached the mouth of the cave as Old Silverback spoke. He took a deep breath, gathering himself to speak. {What...Old Silver said.}

Khala raises her head. {Grandfather! The others are leaving now. Have you found a new nest?} She rises to her feet, trying not to disturb Madra, and nuzzles Sfor. {Take care of yourselves, you hear? We're going to be hunting and providing for new hatchlings, so don't come mooching off us or anything.} She turns back to Old Silverback and nuzzles him gently and submissively. {We're ready for the next nest whenever you're ready to take us there.}

Cart nodded. {We won't. Good hunting, Khala and Old Silverback!}
He turned to the others. {Time to go.}

Jabari has been sitting off to the side and watched the others. He had not gone fishing and it seems that the others had decided that it was time to strike out on their own and form their own pack. But he was not yet ready to leave, he wanted to learn more from granpa before he left to face the world. Though he didn't see the need to say goodbye to the others, they would return someday.

Freckles turned sadly to the dragons in the cave. {Farewell... I shall miss you all. I shall return... some day.} She nuzzled Old Silverback on the way out, and ran out of the cave into the bright day outside. I'm free! And ready to go on adventures...

Old Silverback looked at the young ones gathered in the cave. {I have found another nest. It is time for us to go take care of that nest. Come with me.} Without looking back, he turned back and headed for the new cave with its nest of collected eggs. Stepping outside, he saw Achat standing on the edge of the clearing outside the cave, waiting patiently. {Oh, I forgot. Young ones, this is another dragon I met while collecting eggs into a nest. His name is Achat.}

Jabari was happy to see the return of Granpa and getting up he followed after the old male dragon. It was good to hear of yet more eggs that have been found and yet another cave to explore. Though he was getting a little old for such things. Stepping outside he looked around and then focused his golden gaze upon the outsider that had joined Granpa. He knew nothing of this newcomer and greeted him with a friendly smile.

Achat smiled at the young yellow-and-blue dragon. {Greetings, little one. And hello, to you all too. I met Silverback while hunting today. I told me that you were hatching some eggs. May I help?} His eyes were bright--he had never hatched eggs before.

Achat nodded and followed the grizzled old dragon.
