The Dragon Savior of Tone: World of Tone: Book 2
sun-rising. I have to find out what is happening in the world. I must know this to be able to protect you and our daughter,” he said in a sad voice. She knew he did not wish to go, but he needed to understand what was happening.
    “I understand. I will stay here. We will be safe,” Fienna said with a confidence she did not really feel.
    The next sun-rising, Terra and Fienna walked out into the crevice and went for a swim in the lake. They then moved onto the edge of the lake and lay in the sun to dry.
    “You need to ask your mother about where to go,” Fienna said with her eyes closed.
    “I know. I really do not want to do any of this,” Terra said as he turned to Fienna and put his arm around her waist.
    She opened her eyes, turned toward him and hugged him tight.
    “You need to see the human world. You were raised by dragons; your friends are sea nymphs and dragons. You know nothing of your own kind. You need this, my love,” Fienna stated with tears in her eyes.
    They stayed together, making love, and then went back into the cave. There they met his mother and sister. Sifar was still asleep.
    “I need to know how to get to the other villages,” Terra said to his mother.
    “The path that you followed outside the village will take you north and south. Follow it the opposite direction that you went to find those men and it will lead you to the larger southern villages. I don’t know much about them, but one is where the sisters live. I think it is the largest village in the north on the Great Lake,” she described, while drawing a picture in the dirt with a stick.
    “I will fly down the path and then change when I get near the larger villages.”
    “When will you leave?” his sister asked.
    “After high sun,” Terra replied.
    “We need to put some supplies together for you,” his mother said.
    Terra spent the rest of the time before high sun with Fienna and his daughter. He finally walked to the water's edge to talk to Setilan and the other sea nymphs that guarded the crevice and his family. “Can you stay with them, Setilan, while I am gone? I would not worry so much if you stayed,” Terra said to her.
    “Of course I will stay. We will also increase the guards throughout the crevice,” Setilan told him with the understanding that Terra needed to know his family was safe. Terra looked up and waved at one of the dragons on the crevice's rim. The great blue dragon Hectise took off and landed close to the group near the water. He was Fienna's father, and though he had not helped raise her, he did love his daughter.
    “Hectise, I am about to leave. I am counting on you to protect my mate and daughter,” he said with a serious, but sad, look on his face.
    “Do not worry, my daughter and yours will never be harmed as long as I live,” Hectise said with iron in his voice.
    Terra walked over to his mate and child at the cave opening. His mother came from the cave with a bundle in her hands. “Here are your clothes, food, and water. The clothes are old and tattered. I want you to look poor and not be noticed. Well, at least I want you to be noticed as little as possible considering your size.”
    “My size?” Terra asked with curiosity in his voice.
    “You're the biggest man I have ever seen,” his mother told him.
    His sister came out of the cave, heard the end of the conversation and said, “Terra, you’re more than big; you’re the most powerfully built man anyone has ever seen. Here, you think of yourself as small when you're in human form, but you are not. The clothes we made you will help hide your muscles and size, but only so much. Just be careful, I don’t want you lost from me again.”
    “I will be,” he said, as he hugged both his mother and sister. He then walked over to his mate and daughter and hugged and kissed them. Terra walked away from the cave opening and started his transformation into his dragon form.
    As the change completed, his mother walked up and tied the bundle to
