Episode 8
Mother and father dragon throw a big hatching party and feast for they’re hatchlings
The air thrummed with a joyous energy, a stark contrast to the recent shadows that had threatened their home.

The Father Dragon, his presence a comforting anchor, had taken charge of the hunt, returning with plump, fire-roasted mountain goats and a bounty of glistening river fish.
