"So who was responsible for bringing us here?" Fred wondered, as they sat
side by side on the cot (for there were no chairs). "The dragon, or
someone else?" He popped a piece of the beef jerky into his mouth and
started chewing.
"I don't know," Astra replied. She was feeling rather distracted. There were a couple of spots on her back, just in from her shoulder blades, that were itching terribly, but she couldn't quite reach them to scratch. She must have been bitten by a mosquito. In fact she thought that she could feel the swellings from the bites rubbing against the coarse material of the dress. Suddenly there was a moment of agonising pain, accompanied by a ripping sound as a pair of black, leathery wings burst through the back of her dress. She jumped to her feet in alarm, as the wings rapidly grew. Within a minute, they had reached their full size. Folded, they covered most of her back. Spread out, which she found she could readily do, they reached four feet on either side of her and down as far as her knees. "More magic!" she muttered. "Can you fly?" Fred asked.
