Chapter Interlude: Cori was a good good dragon

    Cori was a good, good dragon. But Cori missed her rider very, very much.

    Many, many moons ago a wicked, wicked scourgeling had knocked Debrah off Cori’s back while they were fighting.

    Cori had flown fast, fast but hadn’t been in time to catch her rider. Blood everywhere. Card in her heart torn in two.

    Remembering still hurt hurt.

    No one else’s card smelled as good good as Debrah’s. No one looked at a purple like Cori twice. They all wanted young hatchlings.

    They thought Cori was old, old.

    So Cori did her chores. She fought and fought scourgelings during eruptions. Sometimes she showed other purples tricks like how to loop and loop in the air.no?vel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.

    Over the last few months, her stomach had gotten big big. Cori was certain there were many many eggs in there.

    Her heart beat and beat in her chest. Harder than it ever had before. Though her stomach was big big, she pushed and bushed.

    One egg came out. With it, her big big stomach seemed to deflate.

    The egg was tiny, even from a purple mother. It was dark and dark and dark and dark like all light had been sucked in from around it.

    Not an Uncommon. Something better.

    Cori touched it with the tip of her snout.

    It was dark dark like the edges of her vision, all crawling inward.

    Exhausted, Cori curled around her perfect single egg.

    Debrah will be so happy happy, was her last thought.
