"It was if I heard the Dragon's voice not through my ears but directly inside my head," the King went on. "So there wasn't any pitch - high or deep - attached to it. I've been saying 'he', but the dragon could be female for all I know. I suppose he must have a telepathic ability. Since his mouth probably isn't shaped to speak our tongue intelligibly, that must be very useful to him."
"So what did he - or she or it - say, Your Majesty?" Fred said, trying not to sound impatient. "He said: Don't bother trying to escape from this part of the caves, Your Majesty. You won't be able to. In a chamber adjacent to this one, you will find what I assume must be one of your knights, and also a young woman whom I brought here from very far away. You are welcome to join them if you would like some company." "I naturally asked him why he had brought me here. But he did not reply, and left without saying another word." "I see. I wonder why he initially had you chained up, if he was going to release you?" "As a demonstration of his power, perhaps? But I wonder why you are still chained, as there seems no reason for it. I don't suppose this will work, but I'll try squeezing your cuffs like he did to release me."
