Torgrim has always taken pride in how his people, the Dragonkin, have flown. And with the Tournament of Njord coming up, Torgrim is eager to show off everything his human fledgling has learned. Boboh can do all the other dragon fledglings can except one:

The boy cannot fly, much like Torgrim himself.

But Torgrim has a solution – he will build fake wings to ensure Boboh enters. But with supplies short, an obstinate fledgling bully and his parents getting in their way, and the entire clan mocking the boy and intern, Torgrim, he rushes to prove himself through the boy.

But when his haste puts the boy in danger on the day of the tournament, both realize they only have one option – win the tournament, or fall from the sky.
