As soon as they uncovered him, Seth felt the other Dragon Master tap-tapping at his

thoughts. Free me. Please.

Seth sensed the tendrils again reaching for him, tiny snakes trying to twine around his

brain. They met with the fiery tendrils of Carol's thoughts and backed away.

"He's in there?" Carol asked, trying to peer through the thick glass.

"Something is." Axel cupped his hands around it. They could see the outline of a human

body, but it was very faint.

Help me.

Carol stood up suddenly. "Are you hearing that?"

Seth nodded, but Axel looked puzzled. "Is he trying to talk to you?"

"He wants us to free him." Seth pushed his hands into his pockets, trying to shut out the

desperate voice. Sying couldn't still be alive—that was impossible.

"He sounds scared." Carol said, resting her hand on the glass. "I wonder what happened."

Seth wondered as well. He'd never found out the fate of Sying the Dragon Master; Seth had

only awakened free. He felt a tiny trickle of evil from him now, though not as sharp as

when they'd seen him in the larger warehouse yesterday.

Carol studied the column with a mixture of fear and interest. "If we leave him here, what

happens? Will more incubi come to serve the Dragon Master, or will they abandon him?"

"Who the hell knows?" Axel said. "If we make the building fall on him, will he die?"

Seth eyed the thick column. It looked like glass, but it was likely something held together

by a magical field. "I don't think so. He'd be buried here until someone else dug him out."

Carol shivered. "That would be horrible."

Axel put his hands on his hips. "What do we do with him, then? It's not like he'll fit in

Carol's car."

"I don't know," Carol answered. "I'm trying to decide if he's more of a danger if we leave him or hide him somewhere."

"The ocean," Seth said.

"Sorry?"

"I could carry him over your ocean and drop him in. He would be difficult to reach there."

He felt a shudder from the column, and a twinge of horror, but the deep ocean might still

the voice.

"Could the incubi find him and bring him up?" Carol asked him. "I don't know anything

about them—can they swim?"

"They are creatures of air and fire," Seth answered. "They don't like water, but in this human world, you have solved the problem of such things."

"Like boats and scuba." Axel barked a laugh. "An incubus in scuba gear. I'd love to see that."

Carol gave him an impatient look. "What I mean is, are we solving the problem by getting

rid of him, or simply staving it off? How long before the incubi or the Order of the Black

Lotus find him and make him powerful again?"

Seth had a solution, but he wasn't sure Carol would like it. A fire dragon's power could

destroy the column and also the man inside.

Axel watched him, his dark eyes glittering. He'd guessed what Seth wanted to do.

"Carol," the Baku said. "Why don't we stroll out to your car?"

"Why?" she asked sharply.

"It stinks in here, and you need the air."

Carol looked from him to Seth.
