As they flew further north, the cold grew and Amit’s hair stood on their ends even in the relative warmth of the shawl.

“We are nearing them,” Mortugal said. They had reached a cloudy area and it wasn’t possible to see more than a few metres ahead. “Hold tight.”

And Mortugal increased his speed so much that Amit could barely hang onto the great dragon’s neck.

“There they are!” Mortugal yelled, his voice like thunder.

Amit peered hard and saw two dots far ahead moving fast. As they neared them, Amit saw that the dots were actually two carpets with people atop them. One carried Ritika and Ruponi, along with two Bnomes. The other carried two more Bnomes and—

Mayesha?

It could only be her. She was clad in white as she had been in the morning. Had the Bnomes captured her too? He needed to save her at all costs.

“They have caught Mayesha too,” he said.

“Mayesha, who?” Mortugal asked.

“That girl dressed in white.”

Mortugal suddenly slowed down.

“What happened?” Amit said. The Bnomes were getting away, what was Mortugal doing?

“I-I,” said Mortugal. “I think I have seen her before.”

“You have?”

“Mayesha you say her name is?”

“Yes… You don’t want to save them? Why have you slowed down?”

“Mayesha is a mortal?”

“Of course,” Amit said. He failed to understand what was going on inside the mind of the dragon. Wasn’t it obvious that Mayesha was a mortal person, just like everybody else?

“Then how do I remember seeing her before? Ages ago, before I went to sleep.”

“Hey, put that aside, all right?” Amit said, worried the Bnomes would escape. “They are getting away!”

“Um, all right,” Mortugal said. The dragon increased his speed, but the reluctance was clear, like Mortugal was lost in thought.

Once again the two dots ahead began growing in size. The Bnomes increased their speed, while Ritika and Ruponi waved for help. Mayesha would occasionally glance behind, but most of the time she would look ahead. And as Mortugal and Amit closed in on the flying carpets, Mayesha’s face looked less and less like hers until Amit realised that the girl wasn’t Mayesha in the first place.

Mortugal pushed himself to his limits, and soon the two of them were hovering over the flying carpet that carried Ritika and Ruponi. Mortugal attacked the two Bnomes with his claws and they retaliated with daggers and swords. Mortugal yelped as the blade of a dagger hit the soft flesh between his claws, and for a moment his speed decreased and the Bnomes went ahead. But Mortugal caught up soon enough and was able to hit one of the Bnomes on the head, knocking him to the edge of the carpet. The Bnome failed to maintain balance and fell off to certain death. In the meanwhile the wind roared all about Amit, and he could only wonder how the second Bnome was still standing and attacking Mortugal. Soon however, the dragon succeeded in knocking the second Bnome off the carpet as well.

The carpet slowed down. Apparently the Bnomes and the carpet had some magical connection which had been allowing them to steer it whichever way they wanted.
