The fleeing pair were surprised, but relieved, to find that the door to the tower was unbarred. They splashed across the flooded square and slipped into the nearest building. In the cool confines of the palatial building they held each other tight. They were both shaking, Flix was near hysterical, “Was it… could it… no, no, no… those dragons were EATING Arkain!!” She shivered, cried and nuzzled Alan, “They’re going to eat us, aren’t they?” Alan stroked her, “Not if they don’t find us. Let’s get away from the tower. I left Lily hiding in one of the buildings on the edge of the city. I promised I would go back.” He gave Flix a kiss, but his mind was filled with fear, of huge, slavering maws and gurgling hungry bellies. They were both dragon chow unless they got out of this place.
