To Exotica's relief, her spell worked precisely as planned. She had been
slightly afraid that she might instead disintegrate Sir Erlend's armour.
Thanks to the magical draughts that the dragon had had her drink
periodically, [6578] her muscles were in good shape, and she was able to
take her first steps in many long days without collapsing in a heap. The
chains attached to her wrists and ankles clanked behind her.
Meanwhile Velus, whom Exotica had not bothered to introduce seeing as he was only a peasant boy, had introduced himself to Sir Erlend. "It seems that we have three options now", Exotica said. "We could follow Fred and try to help him slay the dragon. We could visit Velus' fellow victims of the dragon's transformation spells and I could try to change them back. Or we escape from the caves." "I'm sure that the King would want my priority to be to help you to escape, even above aiding Lord Fred," Erlend said. "Escaping may not be very easy," Astra said. "There are rumours that the dragon has had all the exits magically sealed, so that none may leave without his permission."
