I have considered, by suggestion of a classmate, to give you an excerpt of a chapter from this book, which follows below.
As he and Tessiyon stared up to the sky, the darkder clouds in front of them promised a troublesome storm and was filled with at least four hundred red dragon images. What was worse is that they were sailing right into the heart of it all. Tessiyon knew there was to be trouble with the storm and fire breathing dragons, but she knew she had to be ready for whetever destruction was to meet her crew. Tessiyon did not have much of a company to begin with, for she had gathered at least twenty men before leaving. And twenty was not large at all, but all of her better choices have aged or passed in death. Troubled times were to be over, yet some knew they would return; when it did was not to be in their lifetimes and Tress would have been ready for whatever displeasures were to be breathed upon them. She knew without an army to help her with the fight against Zian she was pretty much on her own.
Tessiyon stepped over to the left from where she was standing on Filton's left side. With her sash and black robes they stood with eyes glued fully on the dragon-filled sky; she pulled back her robe from her side just to expose her sword before she drew it for battle against the dragons. She could see the red dragons descending from the sky to attack the drifting boast as it bounced on top of the roughly rapid waters, nothing was more disturbing than the sky. Black clouds rolled overhead to the fading orange horizon as sunlight vanished.
Thunder rolled with every flash of lightning. The dragons, with blood in thier eyes and fire extending from sky to the water below them, swarmed the ship, setting the sails and mast on fire from the top. Tessiyon and Filton started an immediate battle on the red dragons that were in range of their swords. Tessiyon could not understand how the dragons made their return. They could not unless summoned from their restful place of sleep. She was they only known Dragon Keeper, Keeper of the Star and Planet stones, which indeed controlled their existence, and she surely did not call them. Filton swung once then twice, slicing at the throat of the threatening dragon that clawed at him. Tessiyon dug into the eyes with Exiyon (her sword) as the dragon flew straight for her. The dragon screamed with pain. It picked up its big claws swinging at her, knocking her right to the deck.
Taken from "The Stones of the Hidden Power part one: The Fight for Freedom. Book by Kyann Zorain, chapter 4 The return of the dragons. pages 47 and 48.
