I was so sad at the loss of Stephan and her young. The drastic climate changes would be beyond the dragons abilities and I saw that right at the beginning. I was happy to the clans returning to and gathering together to do something worthwhile not only for the humans but fo themselves. I was surprised that you ended the story where you did though. It seemed there would be more to tell. I especially, enjoyed the interaction with Trevor. He was an northbound part of a south bound mule. You have again captured and told us a great story. Thank you.
