Its final line was: The dragons’ flare of emotions made Violet hesitate; had she overstepped a boundary?
 [Apologies for minor misuse of grammar to fit 10 sentences.]
“For hundreds of years,” Ythris hissed, “dragons were hunted for their shining scales.” “I’m sorry,” Violet said, “Is that why dragonlords restrict access to Sythos?” “One reason,” The Black Dragon whipped his tail, knocking stones off the stream’s bank. Keeping his tone calm, Athanor said, “I asked Stimon if he could devise an unbreakable container for the silver psi-enhancing liquid. The Nulls’ sonic weapon cracked the casing on our rings, and we lost the protective influence.”  Ythris remained guarded, verging on hostile, yet Violet sensed Istrelle’s attitude softening toward them. Conscious of the dragons’ mixed emotions via his link with Violet, Athanor shrugged, “No matter; we will not break trust with you.” Apparently unconcerned, he knelt by the gurgling stream and showed the children how to make a boat from a leaf. Little Istros was fascinated by the floating leaf, and poked it with his claws; Varan demanded a second leaf, and dropped it into the stream.  The adult dragons watched in silence as the children played.
