Return to Dragontree — Shon M. Shaffer

“Why try and count the stars? Can we number the grains of sand? Or, consider the count of the drops of water left behind after the rain, they are in fact finite to a mind that's infinite but for us, can we hold them all in our mind's-eye?” Corylus asked many questions. There wasn't a hint of arrogance or correction in his tone. He simply scratched the surface of knowledge and focused particularly on that of the mortal creatures, thousands of them that currently surrounded him. His list was one of perspective and wonder. When he finished, a hush fell. It lasted long, but not nearly as long as the telling of the Tale of Days. “So, what now?” a familiar voice, one tinged with excitement and just a bit of impatience asked. “Ah yes,” Corylus said. “Though we never met, I know of you. I've been waiting for you and looking forward to our meeting.” “Well good, I can't say that I had that in mind when I flew pellmell for the horizon,” Briza said with a laugh. “But, I'm happy to make your acquaintance.” Courage… Teamwork… Trust… DragonTree - Return to Dragontree concludes the story of the dragonflies, Tussilago, Castanea and their various companions. They have traveled far, gathered many allies and wandered through strange lands. One final, penultimate obstacle remains for the League to overcome before they can rest in the peace they have long struggled for.
