Jolss researched the dragon book when he was able to and found out more about magic dragons and dragon mages. He also told Shira more about tracking dragons. There was a story about battle dragons and the description fit Drace perfectly. When he told Cyerant what the book said about mount dragons which bond with nobles and form dragon knights the young baron seemed to become upset and turned away from the boy. Jolss had even figured out what kind of dragon Green Eyes was. She was a poison dragon which rarely bonds and when they do it is to someone very unpleasant. Even when poison dragons stay non-bonded they like to remain around people and they occasionally will bite people with their venom.
As they moved south Cyool was able to scout and keep them away from any parties. Most of their travels were on the trackway but they were able to use the forest to avoid the occasional party of foreigners or guardsmen. One morning Cyool spotted some men moving north up the trail a few hours ahead of the companions and she sent the glimpse to Shira.
