Fred and Astra had managed to escape from the castle, and were running
through the streets of the city. They both had a variety of cuts and
bruises, but nothing serious. What was serious was that a large
number of the dragon's guards were chasing them, the nearest of them only
some fifty yards behind. Fortunately a running man can't fire a bow, or
they would have been in even more trouble.
People looked out from the shops and houses that they passed. Many seemed sympathetic, though not about to risk the dragon's wrath by offering help. A few made ribald comments. Then Fred saw a grating in the street ahead of them. "Down there!" he said, stopping and pulling up the grating. "It's our only chance." "Where does it lead?" Astra asked, as the two prepared to drop down into darkness.
