Aket-Ten

Aket-ten tooke over Toreth's dragon after his murder. She is Orest's little sister and faked losing her gifts from the Magi.

Menet-ka had the boldest—who was pulling him into the center of attention, which was good for the boy. And

Pe-atep, experienced handler of big hunting cats, had the shyest—he who was best equipped to handle such a problem baby out of his own vast experience.

So Toreth has the quietest but the smartest, I've seen that, too, already.

Oset-re's Apetma is going to shred his best tunics and kilts so that he loses some of that vanity?

Gan's dragon meant tohim—Gan, who had never taken anything seriously before his dragon hatched, was utterly, completely, wholeheartedly besotted. He was just as in love with the gentle Khaleph as Khaleph was with him.

Kalen had brought all ofhis experience as a falconer to taking care of Se-atmen, who repaid his impeccable care with an outpouring of single-hearted love—which you just did not get from a bird of prey. So even Kalen, who Kiron had thought was probably the perfect candidate for taking care of a tame dragon without having to be taught anything, was learning something....
