Chapter Twelve

It was at least another hour before we found them at the base of the mountain. Even on the ground, the wind was too powerful to hear words. Savette crouched under her dragon, the two of them tucked up against the mountainous cliff, trying to avoid the worst of the wind. I fought my pack open and pulled out my last blanket. Savette’s dress wasn’t warm enough for this wind.

Dismounting awkwardly, I stumbled to where she was and offered her the blanket. She mouthed a “thank you” but her words were lost in the wind.

She feels a great evil – like the Ifrit. She thinks the wind comes from it. I know there are other healing arches. Not all of them are on maps or even known to dragons. Perhaps the Dusk Covenant raises more Ifrits somewhere close.

This felt even worse. To cause winds so strong, what sort of ominous magic could they be creating? Was this what it was like when they made Starie into whatever she was now?

Maybe. I noticed an anomaly when we were landing here.

An anomaly?

Part of this mountain looks like it was carved out by the hands of man. If we investigate, there might be shelter there.

I motioned the Dragon Rider sign to follow to Savette and then stumbled forward, but the wind was too strong for me. I stumbled, falling hard on the rock and cutting my hand. I pulled myself up, only to lose my balance again.

You’ll have to ride.

I climbed back on and clung to Raolcan as he struggled forward against the wind. Behind us, Savette and Eeamdor did the same. She shouldn’t be alone against an enemy who could affect the weather. Couldn’t she understand that?

Look!

He was right. A crevice between two rising mountainous cliffs was in the rock we approached. It was clearly carved by humans. A large pillar it stood just outside the crevice, its shaft carved with swirling dragons. I’d never seen a pillar just left somewhere with nothing to support.

There are grips on one side. You could climb it and stand on there to look out over the horizon.

Or you could fly to the top of one of the mountains.

Not everyone has a handy all-purpose dragon, you know.

Point taken.

Behind the pillar was a crevice. It had seemed small from our angle until we drew closer. It was tucked between the rising mountains in such a way that you had to follow the curve of the land and really get in close to realize that there was more than enough room for a dragon to enter it.

We pushed against the wind – it was particularly powerful rolling over the mountain and through the narrow canyon between the mountains - and entered the crevice. Once we were inside, we immediately saw the door. It was along the mountain side of the crevice, a wide, yawning black hole, but with a carved-stone frame and steps leading into it. It was still wide enough for a dragon, so I stayed on Raolcan’s back as we slipped inside.
