Overheating
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 46522
|
Perhaps space itself was distorted inside this illusion of the dragon's,
if that was indeed what this strange place was. By rights, Irena was much
too far ahead of Fred for his despairing dive to come anywhere near her.
But somehow his outflung right hand grasped her ankle, and they both fell
full-length onto the golden flagstones.
The impact wasn't exactly comfortable for Fred, encased in armour as he was, but he was not hurt. Irena had been less lucky, however. She seemed to have banged her head and was unconscious. Fred bent over her anxiously. He hoped that she was not badly hurt and would quickly come round. The sooner the better, in fact, for it seemed to Fred that it was getting hotter all the time, as though all the gold that surrounded them was somehow radiating heat. Even Irena, though unencumbered by armour, was perspiring freely. When she came round, there would still be a problem, of course. With the gate closed behind them, how could they manage to escape before they were boiled alive?
