With every flap of Anastasia’s wings, the dragon carried the calf further across the sky. Soon, the duo reached an odd clearing within the Valley.

Ero was startled to see no ghosts roaming about.

When he asked about this, Anastasia said, “Ghosts don’t like dragon fire. They stay away from us as much as they can.”

The calf drew in a breath of fresh air, savoring his freedom once again. He noticed that Anastasia had a certain smell, too. It was subtle and made him think of ash and phoenixes.

Before long, Ana landed in the clearing where two dragons, both as large as elephants, were basking in the sun. The “clearing” was larger than it seemed; it stretched out like an arm and disappeared around the bend. A river cut through the land, and the burble of water was music to the calf’s ears.
