Chapter 8
Thomas woke up in a hospital, surrounded by his fellow dragon riders. They explained to him that the crystal had saved them and that they had returned it to the dragon council. They also told him that the hunters had been defeated and that the kingdom was safe once again.
Thomas was grateful for his friends and for the bond he had formed with Ember. He knew that their adventures were far from over, but he also knew that they could face anything as long as they were together.
