The crowd grew tense and quiet as the explosion echoed over their heads. At last, they seemed to sense that this was not a show for their amusement, not a part of the city’s celebration. They stirred uneasily, all eyes staring toward the tower.

“If this mob panics,” Blossom whispered worriedly in Garett’s ear, “it’s going to be hell.”

Garett didn’t answer. He watched as the great bird began what he knew would be its final dive. It had admitted the strength of Prestelan’s shield, but found another avenue of attack.

The bolt struck the tower with thundering force. Too late, Prestelan Sun fired back. Stone shattered and showered outward. The tower shivered and groaned and collapsed in a great gush of dust and fragments. Prestelan Sun opened his mouth in a soundless cry of despair and was engulfed.

The crowd, too, trembled. For a fearful instant, Garett thought they would turn in panic and flee, lest the destruction overtake them. Hundreds would be crushed or injured in the flight. But it was only an appreciative, stunned silence that followed. Then the crowd erupted in wild applause.

They hadn’t completed their inspection tour of the watch houses. After events at the wizards’ guildhall, Garett had insisted on returning straight to the Citadel.

“Why, Captain?” Blossom answered in surprise. “\ou planning to go somewhere?”
