Allysa was in among the trees now, her side aching from the run and the arrow. She slowed, trying to keep the treetops and trunks between herself and the dragon and using the lulls to catch her breath. He was a fire dragon, she couldn't stop for long, he was searing the foliage around her. A flaming branch dropped beside her and singed her leg. She bit down on a scream. Why doesn't he go after the damn soldiers?

She finally reached the summit of the trail and slid down on her ass and into the river. A bear roared upstream. No good going that way. Up the other bank she scrambled and on to the road. The dragon seemed to have taken an interest in the bear. She pelted toward Fort Amol.
