It was an unheard of plan for a dragon.
Dragons were an independent species that considered their children to be self-reliant
as soon as they reached young adulthood.
To set them up within your own territory
and to encourage them to build themselves a stronghold?
This was something new.
Thereanthor was aware that one day these
children would be forced by their very nature to battle each other and eventually
even her for supremacy.
Still, by then she’d probably have reached
her twilight years.
Ultimately though, Fissa was hers and after
all her struggles, even after her death, Thereanthor was determined to keep it
in the family.
Her ‘lost’ daughter Sybille was safe in
Fewham. A princess waited upon hand and foot. Thereanthor had recently even
managed to send a message to her despite the wards and protection spells placed
over her.
It was time they reconnected; especially
now that she was letting her other children spread their wings.
Her other daughter, Uwibami was sent far
north.
Her largest son, Yddraig to the south.
And Narsiss, her handsome but conceited
son, was sent to Khajag.
Khajag is a diamond-mining town. Profitable
but unfortunately close to his cosseted, human raised sister.
A story well spun.
