[QUOTE="Lazybones, post: 2089428, member: 143"] Short update today, cliffhanger tomorrow. * * * * * Chapter 345 Beorna felt the rush of air past her as she tried to fight through the stabbing pain where the dragon’s teeth had driven through her armor and into her body. She still held her sword in one hand, but the other was pinned against her body in the drake’s mouth. This wasn’t good. Even if she could get free, which was a dubious proposition considering the dragon’s incredible strength—the dragon’s grip felt like a house had fallen onto her—they were already a good hundred feet or more above the rooftops below. And from what she’d seen of the farastus that had fallen into the city, that wasn’t a path she felt much like taking. But as the dragon gained more altitude, turning as it ascended, she realized that there weren’t any other options. With a heave, she managed to free her other hand, but her location, with most of her body pinned inside the dragon’s mouth, made it almost impossible to position herself for an attack. And the dragon clearly wasn’t interested in keeping her alive; as she struggled she felt a sudden surge of heat wash over her, moments before a great gout of flame erupted from the dragon’s mouth, pouring over her like a skewered hunk of meat thrust into a bonfire. There was no place to go, no way to avoid the full force of the dragon’s breath, and only the protection spell laid upon her by Jenya earlier saved her from instantly being incinerated. But she survived, and when she could actually draw a breath again, she gritted her teeth and ordered her arms to lift the sword dangling beneath her. Her helmet had fallen off at some point after the dragon had grabbed her, and the wind blew wildly through her hair. Her faith gave her the ability to call upon divine intervention to greatly increase her strength for a few flickering heartbeats, and she called upon that aid now as she lifted the sword and raised the tip of the blade against the base of the dragon’s jaw, the only vulnerable spot she could reach. “For you, my lord Helm!” she cried, as she drove the blade home.
