Wings Of Renewal: A Solarpunk Dragon Anthology - Plot & Excerpts
That was one of the first things Prince DeSanto had learned in pilot training. They didn't portal anyone without consent; they didn't portal sick or injured people; and they didn't portal anyone in a life-endangering manner, or to an overly dangerous place. The latter rule was the reason people still used starships: dragons would not transport humans offplanet without the protective casing of a ship around them. There was all sorts of scientific debate about why, but it boiled down to the fact that every time someone had tried it, they died. That left Prince trapped inside this broken-down ship in middle-of-nowhere space, with a portal dragon that was just about to bail on him. Please stay, he begged the creature, watching its body shimmer in agitation. When he was able to see it, it was pastel-translucent and shaped vaguely like a snake with no discernable head. It was picking up on his negative emotions, and nothing made a dragon vanish faster than fear. It wound around the empty copilot seat, communicating its displeasure at the situation.
