Many of the soldiers had not been carried by dragons. However, they knew that the dragonkin and some of the others had been before. What struck them was the fact that the dragonkin all moved to thank the dragons immediately when this was decided. The respect they had was ingrained within them. But to be carried by their lords was more than just an honor. It was a great promise that they were trusted to be with their lords under any circumstance.
That was why the strongest dragonkin had come with them. The royal dragons had not selected just any dragonkin. They had brought their best of the best with them. While some had remained at the ships, at the embassy, and would also remain with Terron in the earth wyvern cave, they still moved with the entire army.
