As it turned out, the enclosure did lead to something: a smaller bit of the same thick steel bar that kept them from going any further. Based on the complicated crane-looking apparatus attached to it, Ellie’s first guess what that she was looking at the feeding station for the wyverns. The wall was there so that people could see the wyverns without getting mauled to death, theoretically. Behind it, the cavern significantly shrunk down, and someone had carved stairs into the stone to wherever the human sized passage led.

“Dead end,” Ellie sighed, happy that they weren’t getting any deeper in the deserted graveyard but also unhappy that they were going to have to be hiking back up to the hole where they could get out.

“Not necessarily,” Sebastian replied, only irritating her for a moment before she realized that his chest had started to glow with a deep, burning orange. The glow spread out through his trunk and down into his arms as an intense heat emanated off his body. She took a few steps back, not entirely sure what he was doing and unwilling to get toasted because of it. To complete his act, he opened his mouth and exhaled flames that lapped around some of the bars.

“That’s the plan,” she muttered, taking his hand and carefully slinking her way through the hot metal. Right there, two or three inches away from her skin, was steel so hot, it could melt through her skin before she’d even realize she was burned.

And then she slipped. Her foot caught on a bone that skittered out from under her right as she straddled the entrance. She let out a frightened yelp, trying to catch her balance but completely failing. She flew towards the hot metal, already imagining it searing her flesh, before he grabbed her and pulled her straight through the hole, unscathed.

“Yikes!” she yelped, looking back in horror at what might very well have been a few instant third-degree burns. She whirled her head around to see Sebastian, who, by the way he’d pulled her, had
