As I fly for my life, a roar shakes the very particles of air above me. I don’t know what type of restraint Xander has on his magic—or his morals—because he could very well incinerate this forest in one breath. But that would land him in an actual beast prison or he’d become a fugitive they’d have to put down. Even so, a dragon flying through the air is an issue for the council and he’s giving our location away to everyone in the area.
