Chapter Six

The cadets raced down the changing halls of the crystal Nest. Alex had assumed the path would be straightforward, as it always had been before, but the Wasp’s Nest was doing its job. The nest was providing the cadets with what they needed: confusion to their enemies.

As the party ran through the hall, everyone trying to get their bearings, Gill shouted left or right as he saw fit. Alex could hear the orcs chasing them, their roars making them seem like a horde of nightmares eager for a butchering.

Gill was at the head of the group of cadets. He was doing a great job of keeping a level head, but Alex doubted he was ever anything other than calm. Regardless of the Nest trying to keep the orcs away from the cadets, Gill was making sense out of the ever-changing labyrinth.

Jollies had decided it made more sense to rest in Alex’s hand. She wasn’t used to flying so strenuously, and she was exhausted.

Brath, on the other hand, was up front with Gill, occasionally shouting to the cadets to keep going, rallying them.

Manny stayed at the back in case any of the orcs or Holmorth started to close in on the cadets.

Alex was replaying Manny’s battle with Holmorth in her head. She had never seen magic used in battle before. Not like that, at least. She had seen the Nest, and that was very different. Panic was starting to creep up on her, but she shoved it down as far as she could.

This isn’t the time to freak out, Alex thought. I keep telling myself that. When is the time to freak out? Freaking out would feel kind of nice about now.

For some reason, Alex had become extremely worried about Chine. She couldn’t get him out of her mind, and it confused her.

Gill pointed ahead and shouted, “Left now!”

The cadets took the left and the Nest closed the hallway behind them. They stood before a large crystal double door—the stables, at last.

One of the cadets reached out to the datapad next to the door. She pressed her hand to it, and the doors swung open. The cadets rushed in.

Manny turned to Gill and told him to turn the lights back on. It didn’t make sense to be running around in the dark. They might as well be able to see everything.

Gill did as he was told, hacking into the system as quickly as he could. The lights flickered on after a couple of seconds. Without thinking, Alex pulled off her blindfold. The light flooded her eyes, but she pushed past the pain.

The room was blurry but quickly coming into focus. Once her eyesight returned to her, she wished she could have looked away.

The stables were almost completely destroyed. There was rubble everywhere and no dragons to be seen. Alex thought back to the tremors and explosions she had felt when the invasion had first started. She hadn’t seen any damage to the rest of the Nest. The attack must have been focused on the dragon stables.
