PART 3: COHESION

Summary

• A child discovers a clutch of dragon eggs in a cave within the Clouded Mountains.
• The dragon mother is not present, and the eggs have inherent value that could solve the child's poverty but are too heavy to carry.
• An egg starts hatching in front of the child, revealing a small, sticky newborn dragon.
• The child and dragon hatchling, eventually named Crin and Nall respectively, form a bond.
• Crin stays in the cloud forest, not missed much by their impoverished family, while the dragon mother never returns.
• Time passes, and Crin and Nall grow, nurture their bond, and lose aspects of their respective kinds.
• Once Nall can bear Crin's weight, they fly together and discover a grand palace in the capital city, inhabited by other dragons and their riders.
• They struggle to fit into their roles but manage to find comfort and also joined in the fights against the threats to the land.
• Despite their new successful life, they still missed their home in the cloud forest, and one day, they leave the city and disappear.
