A scene
The Massawan herders wanted to water their cattle at the Lake of Dragons, and nobody wanted to be the first to walk down to the shore. Their druid, a tall woman named Makeda, climbed the ridge above the reeds and stood with her face to the wind. It carried frogs, birds and lowing cattle, and she let all of it pass, listening for one kind of creature only. At last she caught it, faint beneath everything: a long, slow breathing like a bellows in a cave. A dragon lay somewhere within the mile. She came down the ridge and turned the herd away.
