Yin felt the weight of the basket he was carrying pushing him down hard as he trudged down the halls of the dragon king towards the well where he'd get at least a portion of the water that the Kitchens needed every day. He was supposed to be better than this. He'd worked his way up to team leader so he could send other people to fetch the water. Like Hilo. The kid who should be doing this job-

The kid who had disappeared -

Disappeared just when he was doing this job.

As he walked past the one tunnel he'd never had the courage to go down he saw something new. A tunnel no one had gone down in the thousand years since the Dragon Rebellion. And outside that tunnel a single footprint. Kid sized.

He was going to rescue Hilo. It would beat carrying the water.
