Chapter 12

“Dion, you are in great danger,” a voice said to his left. Dion turned to see the form of his grandfather standing next to him. The old man had appeared out of nowhere, but he was used to it by now. Even his three companions didn’t find the sudden appearance to be of much issue.

“I’ve been in danger ever since I began this quest,” he told the older man. “What could possibly be worse?”

“Fire elementals. Salamanders are on their way here. You need to get out of the building right away. Take the nearest emergency exit. I’ve disabled the alarm, you can use it with your friends to leave the building.”

“Why can’t I tackle them inside the mall?”

“Too risky. They might burn the entire mall down in their anger. Several of their number was lost when your friend with the fire opal banished them today. They want to know where their companions are, but there is no way to know because the opal caused them to lose their sense of direction. Just get out now. I have to go. Bye.” And his grandfather vanished.

Dion turned to look at the emergency exit door on the other side of the concourse. He was close to this final destination, but he could not ignore this threat.

“We have to get out of here,” Dion told his friends as he took Lilly by the hand and hauled her to the door. Sean and Emily followed them.

Minutes later, they were outside the mall. Dion walked around the perimeter of the mall and saw no sign of the security guards. He walked with his friends and headed in the direction of the parking lot. There still were quite a few empty sections in it.

Dion walked around in the lot and waited. If his grandfather was right, they would be here very soon. He couldn’t understand why they held him guilty for the loss of the other fire elementals, but these creatures were not known to be the most rational of beings. At least he still had the censer in the bag next to him.

“You want me to hold the bag?” Lilly asked him.

“No, I’ll hold onto it for now.”

Sean stood there in the parking lot with Dion and waited. He seemed to feel something was about to happen. It wouldn’t surprise him. Nothing in this mall made the least bit of sense. He stood there with Emily and waited. It was hard to think of her as his fiancée, but Sean slowly adjusted to the idea. They had been through so much these past few days and knew more about each other than he’d believed possible before the adventure with the air sylphs. It wasn’t over yet and he wondered how Dion would deal with this latest challenge.

They were both about to find out.

Two minutes later the security guards poured out of the same door Dion had taken with his friends to leave the building. Dion counted at least thirty of them and the shoppers entering the mall stopped to look at the grey mob that flowed out to the parking lot.
