Brought to the Dragon

As Astra and Stacy clung on to the floor for dear life, feeling as though they might fall at any moment and with their eyes closed as that helped a little, the orcs arrived. Since the women were incapable of walking, one orc slung Astra over his shoulder, and another did the same with Stacy. Then the women were carried to the dragon's lair and dumped on the floor in front of the beast. (Lassie had been left behind and unfortunately had been in no condition to follow the orcs.)

The dragon looked down at the two women who, now that they no longer had the relative security of being held fast by the orcs, once more were clutching at the floor, twitching and moaning. "I suppose that I had better negate that spell if I want to get any sense out of you," he said.

Suddenly the world seemed the right way up again to Astra and Stacy. Stacy cautiously opened her eyes, and gasped as she saw the vast form of the dragon.

1. "Hello, Stacy," the dragon said. "I was responsible for the portal tht you came through. You see, I wanted somebody from far in the future. It turned out to be you."
2. "Please explain how you arrived in my caves," the dragon told her. "I have all the entrances monitored, so I know that you did not arrive by any of them. Was it some mage's doing?"
3. "Thank you for turning off that spell," Stacy said. "But where's Lassie?"
