They stayed in the dragonlands two days longer after all was said and done. The dragons, thankful to the little dragon they had so long derided had taken them gratefully back into their midst once their nightmares and curse had been cured. Meranax was found later, after much searching and before much digging into her horde. There was no set rules in the dragon law regarding the horde of a dead dragon short of it going to their young, if they were strong enough to get to it first. Ember had intervened and allowed a somewhat organised dispersal of her treasure. It would still take over a week to sort it all out that way, but it was better than causing a mad scramble and this way the younger dragons could add to their horde before the elders realised the situation was over and returned to the dragonlands.
