Much cleaner and less smelly than before, the party left the hot lake
behind them. "We shall have to go carefully," Francis told them. "The
Dragon must be aware by now that the Princess has been freed and that his
skeletons have been defeated, so no doubt he will be searching for us. One
advantage we have is that he doesn't know that we intend to make our way
out of the caves, rather than come looking for him."
"These Philapetra Fields that you speak of," Astra said. "I take it that they are well-known in Allaria, for Fred and Velus seem to know of them, but we have not heard of them in Aqualaria." "They are a region of fertile land on the lower slopes of the northern side of the Shreken," Francis explained. "There are a number of villages, and so we should be able to replenish our supplies and get clothes or armour and a weapon for you. We can also all have a night's rest in a proper bed, which I'm sure will do us a world of good." "Relations between Allaria and Aqualaria are unfortunately a little cool at present," Astra said. "I wonder how I shall be received." "I'm sure that won't be a problem," Fred reassured her. Francis nodded in agreement.
