Pale moonlight spills through the high windows of the SkyWing Palace wingery, painting Jasper's scales in silver. He stands motionless, a sentinel in the quiet dark, his vast wings stretched wide to form a warm, protective dome over the huddled shapes of sleeping dragonets. A drop of drool splashes onto his claw; he twitches, then a soft, fond chuckle escapes him, unbothered by the small mess of his duty.
