"The tunnel that leads onwards from this chamber seems to be high enough that I should not be in any danger of banging my head, and even if I did the tunnel would probably have the worst of it."

"I certainly don't mind," Astra replied. "Assuming that the metal of which you are made is not substantially heavier than flesh and blood, that is."

"I don't feel that I'm any heavier than I was before my transformation, but of course I'm not in the best position to judge. If you find that I'm too heavy then please say so, rather than risk straining yourself."

But Astra found that Shen Tso seemed surprisingly light, and she had no difficulty in lifting her to sit on her shoulders.

  1. They continued onward.
  2. Starting at her shoulders, Astra began to transform from flesh and blood into the gold-like metal. And their two bodies seemed to have fused where they were in contact, so that she couldn't put Shen Tso down.
  3. Just then, a mighty roar announced that the dragon was nearby.
