First Lessons (Hueroc/Ellora)
"Go on, Loria... don't you want to play in the water with your brothers?" Ellora nudged at her with her snout, trying to urge her daughter into the lake, where Neth and Taran paddled and dove in the shallows. But she stamped a paw and snorted...
Ragefire (Hueroc/Ellora)

Warrior's Blood, Chapter 15: A People Dragon
