Ossac squinted his eyes against the bright sun peeking in through the mouth of his cave. He sat up, rubbing his eyes. Usually, he didn't spend the night in the cave, he preferred to sleep under the stars, but the rain last night had made him think better of it. A few of the more skittish sheep had joined him under the shelter. Standing up, he took his staff and herded them outside. Ossac put his boots on before stepping out onto the dewy grass.
Calypso noticed immediately when her rider came out into the open. She growled quietly in greeting as she slunk toward him. He reached out, putting his hand on her nose and sliding it up between her eyes to give her a scratch. "Hey there, Cal..." the dragon fidgeted her wings, indicating that she was ready to take a fly. She also created a small gust in the process. "Hey, I know! We'll go out soon. You know I have to look after these guys first," he said, motioning toward his flock.
Dragon followed rider as he stepped around the groups of sheep in his care, urging them forward as he made progress. The cold weather setting in was making the sheep lazy, forcing Ossac to give out more prods than usual in order to get them all moving. Once he had moved the flock down into the valley, he could take a fly, but he needed to have them closer to the village before he could take his eyes off of them for a few minutes. Calypso scared any sheep that strayed away from the group back into the flock.
Working together, they soon had the entire flock nestled into the valley. Ossac stopped and looked over the waking village. A few people mulled about as the merchants began setting out their goods, preparing for the day ahead. And up in the sky, he could see dragons flying high and low. Calypso gave him a longing look.
