Luther turned to Dimetraxia.
“Help me up, Dragon,” he yelled. “Let’s do this.”
Dimetraxia dipped her shoulder and bent her neck around to nudge the old knight up onto her back. It was all Luther could do not to cry out in pain, but somehow he managed to get onto the Dragon’s back with barely a grunt.
He turned once, nodded and grinned at Amira, and then a moment later the Dragon beat her wings, leaping into the air directly towards the stone arch.
A moment later they reached the strange light at its center and vanished.
Not much ever surprised Amira, but she stood open-mouthed.
An eerie silence descended over the courtyard. Even the Half Giant and his companions paused to look back and see what had happened.
Daemonic Torgan too, dropped his hands, the bolts of energy fizzing out, as he slowly turned to face the arch.
The light at its center began to flicker ominously.
And, just as suddenly, it winked out.
Torgan opened his mouth as if to scream, but no noise came out.
And the next thing Amira knew, the world span upside down, turned red, and exploded.
