Aloe wrapped a MudWing's battered tail in soft cloth.

"There." Aloe said. "See me again if it starts bleeding. Remember to clean the bandge!" 

The MudWing gratefully walked out of the tent. Aloe sat down with a sigh. It was exhausting to run a practice. Sandstone poked his head into the tent. 

"Have you seen Dusty?" He asked in a worried tone. 

Aloe sat bolt upright. "No. Where was he last?"

"Playing in the desert."

"He couldn't have wandered off, could he?" Aloe asked. She furrowed her brow. Her dragonet was usually very responsible, even though he was only a year old. Aloe flew off to search for Dusty from the sky, but had no luck. Sandstone greeted her when she landed.

"I saw small talonprints. Jackal said he saw a small dragonet wandering off. He also saw a bigger dragon, but he couldn't make out any details." He said.

"I'm going." Aloe said firmly.

"I thought you'd say that. Take this flask of water, at least."
