As I crashed against the ceiling of the mountain above us, wrapping myself around Ilse, the air was knocked clean out of my lungs. And I blacked out for a moment.
I wasn't sure if it was a moment or an entire lifetime.
But it was probably a moment, because my eyes flew open to my vision already rolling. I landed on the ground, no, on the thing's surface, and bounced off it, still rolling with Ilse in my arms. Grit scraped along my cheek, and my shoulder took the second bounce.
Then, quickly, I used Feather Step again and vanished.
I appeared near Light. Three chains had already flown out of me in a blur. The first grabbed Light, who was quite close, the second glued Ilse to my side, and the third went looking for Bren.
I glanced around while I used my Enhanced Senses to search for her. Then I found it, an outcropping jutting from the rock up above.
'Let's hope this is not just another sleeping dragon. I swear, I'm going to lose my shit. Why are we surrounded by dragons?!'
