The dragoness glided back to the lair gently clutching the sleeping fledgling against her, shielding the little female from the spray of the falls as she made her way toward the nest.

Carefully placing the little injured one in the nest, she settled, wrapping herself protectively around the young one, studying her once more.

She noticed how the little ones ribs were showing, which told her that the fledgling was having difficulty finding food, she had found the little one in front of the Inn as she had been scavenging.

Now though, the young one would be safe and well cared for, a wing gently draping over the little one as the fledgling slept.
