“Jaevid?!” Felix was yelling at me. “Are you nuts? Get down from there!” Beckah was yelling at me too, but I tuned them both out. I closed my eyes, and let my mind go quiet for a moment. I felt a strange sensation in my chest, like pressure, and a tingling of heat in the back of my mind. Then it was my turn to yell, and I screamed as loudly as I could. “Mavrik! I need you!” At first, nothing happened. I started to feel like a real idiot, standing out there on that ledge, yelling for a dragon that couldn’t hear me. Minutes went by, and I started to give up. Then I heard him roar.
