Yet another chapter that took longer than it should have. And readers should expect that coming chapters may take as long to show as this one did. I was pointing out to Kathmandu that I've never written such a long story piecemeal before. It makes it much harder to deal with mistakes made in earlier chapters and can lock out ideas that may not work with what's been laid out previously.

I hope this chapter doesn't jar readers with its different POV. The dragon 'jargon' was difficult to do but I felt it was necessary to help explain how they look at their world.
