"Then you find out

Caden scowled. "I would've noticed if you walked past me, and that window is always locked. How did you get in here?" Before she could answer, though, the door flew ...

"Where did you come from?" he asked tersely. "It's bad enough to have Liskano do this; don't you start, too?"

Caden sighed and ran a hand over his face. "It wasn't supposed to happen," He said quietly. "He was going to kill me, and i only wanted to hurt him ...

He nodded his head in the direction of the alley, where the young girl, only slightly bruised and cut, came out of the darkness, giving Syden a bewildered look. "There ...

Syden smiled and slipped into the alley. Riana had put her guard down when he had said he didn't argue with dragons, which made this so much easier. He could ...

Syden raised his hands. "Sorry, but i don't argue with dragons."

"Where are you going?" Syden hissed, struggling to keep up with her. she didn't answer, though, and he found himself following her into the dark alley.

Syden sighed and rolled his eyes. "Come on, if we keep arguing, we'll have to rush and make mistakes. Just let the girl go and get this done with!"

"Glad it's settled," Syden said. Lethero whirled on him. "You're not coming! to many people have talked me into it!" "I have no desire to go to town," Syden said ...

"I just gave you a day's worth of time, and i don't appreciate it being squandered on arguing," Syden snapped.
