The Moments We Live For

While Rue took that moment to just soak in Davina's presence, they still had things to do. They were not just going down to check the eggs and make sure all was up to par, but because she and Parri had told them they were with child. 

They had felt it and knew. It seemed such a quick thing to happen. Dragons in the past did not so easily conceive but she had and Rue was happy for this. 

Perhaps you might think that here was a foolish place to live, to stay and continue to grow. A most deadly monster was down there waiting, but it was the smartest place. They could hide from the world. They knew how to keep the creature contained and abandoning it would just have it escaping once more. Besides, Rue and Nexus were pretty sure this was the original nesting ground of the first dragons, the first clutch.
