Chapter 5

The ute bumped over the rutted road, finally groaning to a stop beside a centuries old fig tree. It couldn't go any further. The road petered out, the boulders lurching among the trees making the area impassable for any kind of vehicle.

“Are we there?” Lisa asked, her voice hushed.

“Close,” Karla answered, and her heart started thumping harder. “I just have to get up this mountain somehow.” She craned her neck up, but it was hard to judge how high it was through the thick scrub.

“How do you know he's at the top, the GPS doesn't give height.”

Karla stared at Lisa in disbelief. “Do you really think a dragon is going to make his lair at the bottom of a mountain? Of course he's at the top.”

“Well, if everyone thinks his lair is at the top, maybe he decided it was safer at the bottom,” Lisa argued.

Karla didn't have time for this. “Look, it’s better if you stay down here anyway. I need you to watch for Taurian, and when he and Ultrima start fighting, start shooting arrows at them. Even if you don’t hit them, hopefully it will distract them, and stop them fighting.”

“Oh, I can hit them,” Lisa said confidently. Then her face clouded. “But if I do, then they’re going to come after me, aren’t they?”

“Of course not,” Karla said with a confidence she didn’t fully feel. “They’re going to be intent on fighting each other, not you.”

Lisa tilted her head to one side and raised an eyebrow.

Karla bit back a sigh. “Look, I know it’s risky. But it’s Bruce’s only hope.”

She had no right to ask this of Lisa. She may have told Ultrima where they were, but she really couldn’t blame her. She probably would have done the same thing if a dragon turned up on her doorstep. This was her responsibility, not Lisa’s.

But while she might be able to rescue Bruce without Lisa and her bow, Taurian would still be in danger.

Lisa sighed and nodded, a determined frown replacing her fear. “I’ll do my best.”
