"Oh, they almost certainly do." He said in an explanatory tone, "There's one in Aracrest, Fares, Majido, Aurcuin, and Dahlan. Those are the 5 I know of."

She blinked rapidly. “So? Just because there are cities near their supposed locations doesn’t mean they exist. They’ve never been seen before.”

"How do we know gravity exists because we can't see it? If we can't see it it obviously doesn't exist. How do you know the sun exists when below the horizon? How do you know there are distant lands if you have not seen them? What of the celestial bodies? The plants? The stars? Do they not exist because you cannot see them?"

“We can’t see gravity itself, but we see its effects. And I once spent a day chasing the sun. It doesn’t go away. You know of distant lands because of travelers and nomads. And you say that like no one has ever seen a distant land. The ‘dragon stars’ have never been seen.”

“Have you read these accounts? Draconian is rarely written, and if they’re millennia old, it’s highly likely they were altered over time.”

She frowned. That wasn’t the answer she’d been hoping for. “How could you tell?”

"The sky dragons, at least the sect I visited, are meticulous about ritualism and tradition; many of the texts they have have not been touched, let alone altered, for years."
