Chapter 62.3
Every few decades, a dragon would lay an egg. The hatchling that emerged from the egg would be raised by the mother dragon until it was capable of flight.
It was shortly after learning to fly that she met Bone. After leaving the nest and separating from her mother, she didn’t know what was right and what was wrong.
She had nowhere to go, but as a dragon, she flew eagerly through the sky. Dragons flew like that, and when they grew tired or found a comfortable spot, they would build a nest there. They did it instinctively, even if no one told them to. Eye was no exception. She found a comfortable spot and decided to make it her nest. But what was comfortable for a dragon was also comfortable for another. The place where Eye wanted to nest was Bone’s territory.
Dragons were territorial creatures. Normally, before entering another dragon’s territory, they would detect their scent and avoid it. Eye was still young and didn’t realize this. That’s why a certain incident occurred. Accidents happened quite frequently to dragons, especially to young ones.
When a dragon entered another dragon’s territory, there were two possible outcomes. One was that it would lead to a territorial dispute. They would fight, and the winner would take control of the territory.
The other outcome was that they would become mates. If the dragons were of opposite sexes, they would live together for a while and have offspring. Once they finished breeding, the male would leave the territory.
Only these two things could happen.
However, when Eye entered Bone’s territory, neither of these situations occurred.
To her surprise, Bone came to greet the foolish young dragon that had entered her territory. It wasn’t a violent encounter but a gentle conversation. “I have been living here for a long time. Let’s get along.” Ignorant Eye listened to this and responded with a greeting, saying, “Yes, I look forward to living with you.” She didn’t have any other thoughts than that. Or perhaps Bone did nothing upon realizing that Eye wasn’t hostile.
