As happy as Leonor wanted to be about the representation of her and Desmond's love growing inside her belly, they were in an underground bunker possibly waiting for the city above and around them to be flattened by a dragon. There was no silver lining at that moment.
She had someplace to hide where she would most certainly survive, but Desmond was out there in an unknown environment. Was he someplace hidden or was he sleeping under the stars and in the line of fire of a possible full-grown dragon?
From what she had been hearing from the occasional guard updating Stephano, the dragon had covered a lot of ground. Guards on the front lines themselves said it was much larger than the corpse they saw of the juvenile dragon. It slowed near the mountains between Burien and Eirenguard, but it occasionally returned, circling the sky as if it was looking for something else.
