Returning to his original self, Jayr felt drained, he rarely used that form. He frailly punched his rescuer's back. "Let me go! My home... I need to protect it," he screamed, sobbing into the wolf's fur. The snakes curled up close to cheeks, trying to comfort him.<br/>The dragon roared violently, gaining on them with each mighty flap of its wings. Jayr gasped, he hadn't realised they were being followed, and wiped his tears. "What do we do now?" he said, trying to suppress his sadness. As they flew, Jayr scouted for a place to escape to. "Down there," he pointed. "That cave, the entrance will be too small for it to chase us." Below them was a small cave, he recognised it from his hunting trips with his father, the opening consisted of jagged rocks which they had to slip by carefully.
