The dragon left the amphitheatre at the same time Kal did, except that as it was soaring upwards towards stormy skies, Kal was plunging to the city streets. But then the parachute snapped open, and Kal found herself gliding west above the rooftops, wafted away from the burning amphitheatre on a lucky updraft of hot air from the fire. She looked up: the chute had opened in a pyramidal shape, two yards square, held together by a frame of bamboo rods.

The dragon flapped off to the north, in the direction of the distant Starfinger Mountains. ‘Fine!’ Kal yelled after it. ‘Leave me to sort out this city’s problems on my own, why don’t you!’

She laughed as she flew: laughed at her own joke; laughed at the sheer exhilaration and relief of her escape; laughed at the sudden surge of power and confidence she felt as she traversed the city like a super-powered god. She also laughed as she wondered if Nim had personally tested her latest creation before entrusting it to Kal. As if!

Kal found she could steer a course by yanking on the handles of the chute. She passed by the Snake Pit, and shouted down when she spotted Zeb and Gwyn outside. They didn’t look up, and Kal passed on by, crossing the Embankment, the Cold Flow, and finally touching down on the university lawns at the foot of Arcus Hill.

A gathering of astonished students watched as she cut herself free of the chute with her dagger. ‘Don’t try that without at least three large drinks beforehand,’ she advised them as she hurried past and up the Hill.

Kal made it to Ben’s mansion five minutes later, a mere fifteen minutes since she had turned the tables on Cassava and freed the dragon. She could see that the lights were on inside, despite it still being early afternoon. As she ran breathlessly up the gravel drive, she could also make out the silhouettes of Ben’s guests behind the ground floor windows. There was no sign of the Senate Guard who were supposed to be on duty outside. Kal picked up her pace—

—and was stopped suddenly in her tracks as a blinding yellow light flashed from behind every window. For a split second the silhouettes inside were picked out in sharp contrast, before fragmenting into thousands of pieces as all the glass windows shattered.

Then the mansion exploded with an deafening BOOOOM, and Kal barely had time to drop to the ground before chunks of stone and marble began to rain down on top of her.
