<p>What if, billions of years ago, the Earth formed a little differently?</p> <p>A bit more water, a bit less iron, and the first humans evolve upon a lone island, surrounded by vast oceans that cover ninety-eight percent of the surface of the planet.</p> <p>In the millennia that follow, mankind believes their island to be the only in existence – until primitive satellites confirm the existence of two distant islands.</p> <p>Galvanized by this groundbreaking discovery, humanity sends its best and brightest on an expedition, only for a series of disasters to wipe out all but one of the crew. Now, Dr. Alexander Pryce has the honor of being the first – and only – man to step foot upon another land.</p> <p>He wasn't surprised when he started drawing the attention of the local wildlife. He just didn't quite expect one of them to be a dragon – an intelligent dragon.</p> <p>Stranded, but not quite alone, it's up to him to represent humanity and build the foundations of a diplomatic relationship between their species.</p> <p>First order of business: how in the world is he going to teach a dragon to speak English?</p> <p>A work inspired by novels like The Martian, Project Hail Mary, and the Temeraire series.Special thanks to VikasRao on DeviantArt for providing and inspiring ideas for the speculative evolution.</p> <p>New chapters posted on Fridays, 7:01 PM GMT-5.</p> <p>I don't have much planned for it yet, but if you want to drop in and say hello, or to ask any questions, here's the Discord link</p>
