Piece by piece, the stone walls fell away, first one layer, then another, then faster and faster in a blur until the whole landscape collapsed away and spat them and the waters below into the abyss that was the Gliding Dragon Gorge, the great rent in the land torn by the might Fury River below. They crossed the gorge, using it as cover, climbing steadily, creeping up to the cliffs on the other side so low that the tails and talons of their dragons scraped the stone. When they emerged on the other side, there it was.
You tell me, dragon, how do you know that she didn't particularly mind? ' An arrow in the eye will hardly kill me, Kemir, but it would leave an unpleasant sting. Slowly, Kemir lowered the bow. He could almost believe it. Nadira had been the one who'd made them wait while Snow lay deep in the lake. If it hadn't been for her he'd have left days ago, She'd made them stay because she couldn't let go ... And he'd seen her, after they'd failed, after Snow had vanished into the lake. He'd seen her curled up when she thought he wasn't near, sobbing softly, talking to the children she no longer had as though they were still there, to the husband she'd seen murdered.
Kemir froze, rooted to the spot. The dragon was rising out of the lake as white as the glacier ice, clouds of steam billowing around her. And she was hungry. Five days lying at the bottom of a frozen lake would do that, I suppose. She was probably going to eat him then. Somehow, he couldn't bring himself to be properly terrified. In some ways it would be a relief. 'Right. So you're not dead,' he growled. It was just as well, he decided, that Nadira wasn't anywhere nearby. As last words went, those definitely weren't the best.
