Summary
Halt, seventeen years old, ran away from home. He couldn't stay there any longer. It would be a death sentence.
Lost, hurt, full of doubts, he wanders without knowing where to go. Until he meets Pritchard, who offers to take care of his injuries, and who ends up taking this traumatised teenager under his wing.
Their road to trust isn't an easy one. Halt's childhood haunts him, he has never known a proper home and doesn't know how to get one. Pritchard longs for his former home, unable to give that name to this new kingdom. Maybe they'll come to realise that the home they're looking for isn't as far away as they think.

Summary
Fishlegs is resigned, as he looks over at the box hiding the tiny Nadder, “That’s the risk of big clutch sizes too, it increases the chances of having a tiny one, or an- uh, weak hatchling? There’s a name for those types of births but I can’t-”
Astrid drops the mirror, and doesn’t even hear as it shatters on the ground at her feet.
“A hiccup.”__
Taking in a clutch of Nadder Natchings, the Riders expected dealing with an onslaught of stray spines, fire, and squwaks that kept them up through the night.
What they didn't expect, was for one little hatchling to remind them so strongly of their leader.
It all unravelled from there.
