Eventually, Tarah managed to get enough sleep after she cast a strong spell on Vulcan to keep it still inside the cave. By the time she woke up, the dragon was still sleeping because of it. At least that worked unlike her attempts to coax Vulcan into telling her more about Hana and what happened in the past last night.
Staring at the dragon, she let out a sigh and muttered, "I wonder why Hana was executed and burned alive. Is that why you cursed and vowed to kill all Dragonriders?"
She had her speculations, but it was still better to hear the truth from the one who was actually there when it all happened. She could get it wrong, after all. As such, what could be the reason for the Dragonriders to execute Hana like that?
