The son of Grendel blamed Beowulf, but that was his first impulse, the instinct of his human side. His dragon half helped him rationalize what really happened and who was to blame. Already, the Saurian god’s spells had twisted the surviving dragons into large reptilian lizards with wings and a wild feral mentality. Dragons had never needed wings to fly.

He flexed his powerful legs and jumped, his humanoid form sailed to the Orb like an eagle soaring the great air currents above.
