But, I knew that was worthless, he had another human in another universe that he was spending time with. Cyn wanted to know what I was doing out in the cold if I wasn’t going to get a ride to another universe where it was warm and sunny.

Dragons can only move between, but Stars can create new worlds from scratch.
