Dragons of Asgard 3 by Logan Jacobs (first ebook reader txt) 📗

hissed since he’d been too quick for me to stop him.

The huge dragon turned his head to look at me, and a small smile came on his face. He seemed to understand Blar was a baby, and he wasn’t upset about the little dragon climbing all over him.

Suddenly, Inger ran out to the dragon’s head as well, and Uffe tentatively followed her while Kas, Eira, and Asta climbed up the large creature’s back.

“Should we call them back to us?” Kas asked before she slipped and nearly fell down the huge dragon’s side.

“Come on,” Eira said, and she gave Kas a little push.

“Nah, they’ll be fine,” I said as I grabbed the strawberry-blonde’s hand and pulled her up the rest of the way.

Kas settled in next to me, and Eira and Asta joined us a moment later.

The girls all crowded around me and held onto me while the large dragon started to flap his wings.

Svass was still curled around Eira’s neck, but she looked out toward the three dragons on the large male’s head, so I gestured forward and told her to go.

The little girl cowered in Eira’s hair for a second, but then the redhead pulled her gently down from her neck and set her on the dragon’s back.

“Go ahead,” Eira said. “You’ll be safe. Blar, Inger, and Uffe will look out for you, just be careful.”

Svass hesitantly walked out onto the large dragon’s neck, but he lifted off the ground just then, so she quickly scurried back toward Eira and up into her hair.

“I don’t think she’s going to want to go out there now,” Kas laughed.

“You’re probably right about that,” I chuckled.

“She’s still so small,” Asta added. “Maybe she’ll want to go next time we ride on a dragon.”

“Does this happen often?” Eira asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Not very.” I winked.

I could sense the little dragon’s excitement against my chest, and I carefully laid my hand on his egg as we lifted toward the sky.

My stomach turned as soon as we were up in the air, and I looked down at the valley below us. Even though we were headed to save a dragon in need, I still couldn’t help but take in the beauty of the valley.

The cavern was filled with dragons, and the sun cast everything in a magical orange glow as it slowly lowered behind the horizon.

To think I hadn’t even seen a dragon before a couple of months ago was astonishing when I looked down at the glorious creatures below me. The massive creatures were a part of me, and I was a part of them, there was no denying it, and all I could think was how I wished I’d known about them sooner. I was sure it was fate I’d found Blar that day, but part of me wished I’d found him even before that.

The little dragon had changed my life so significantly, and I was now able to change the lives of other dragons because of it. The dragon slave trade had been going on for far too long, and even now, on our way to the injured dragon, it was only because of the slave trade we were having to rescue her.

As we flew through the air, I sensed the large dragon we were on had some sort of attachment to the place we were headed. From the flashes of memories I saw, it seemed we were headed to the nest he was born in, and I realized dragons shared nests, they weren’t all specifically made when a female was preparing to give birth. There were already nests around they could claim if they didn’t want to create their own, or if they wanted to have their babies where they’d been hatched.

The male wasn’t young, either, so the nest had to have been there for quite some time, and we were incredibly lucky he’d been near us in the valley because every second counted for the female we were headed to.

I remembered the feeling of her injury, and I had to clench my jaw against the memory of the pain. I could only imagine what kind of agony she was in at the moment, and I was sure it only got worse with every passing second.

We passed over the valley, and then the large dragon turned to the right and took us over a huge forest with white and yellow trees.

The sun was sinking lower and lower, and I was worried we wouldn’t get there before dark, but just a few minutes later, I saw a clearing down below.

The large green rock sparkled with the evening sun, and in the clearing, I could see the huge nest with the female dragon inside. The creature looked nearly dead already, and she didn’t even move as we came into view overhead.

“Oh, no.” Kas’ voice cracked with emotion. “We’re not too late, are we?”

I focused on the dragon below, and I was able to feel her loss and her pain from her injury. She had very little willpower left, and I was worried she might not make it, but we had to do whatever we could to make sure that didn’t happen.

I wouldn’t let her die, not if I could help it.

“No.” I shook my head. “I can still feel her presence. She’s alive, but she’s weak.”

“I’m ready whenever we land.” Kas nodded, and her violet eyes focused on the female below us.

The dragon lowered his head and dove down to softly land in the grass near the green rock.

The girls and I rushed down the side of the massive creature, more sliding down his scales than climbing down, and as soon as our feet hit the ground, Kas took off running.

The strawberry-blonde rushed over to the female dragon without regard for the fear she had earlier when
