Horek scrambled back up the hill. “The guards are taken care of, Sire,” he said. “But we’d better move fast. No telling when the watch changes.” Zarnak nodded. The plan was to get the dragons out of the cage and up into the mountains where the Kradens couldn’t follow. Darek, who had a way with dragons, was to go in first and try to get a harness on the lead male. If he was successful, the other dragons would follow. If he failed… Darek sucked in a deep breath. No sense dwelling on what would happen if he failed.

“Ready, Dragon Boy?” Zarnak asked sarcastically.

Darek didn’t smile. He followed Horek down the hill to the cage. The Reds were waking up, aroused by the scuffle with the guards, no doubt. They paced fretfully in their cage, sniffing the air, bellowing their anger at being disturbed. Soon their roars would be heard in town. Then Zahr’s men would ride out to investigate. Time was growing short.

Horek handed Darek a harness. “When we pull the doors open,” he said, “you go in. The lead male will be the first to approach.”

Darek nodded, then slung the harness over his shoulder.
