  Sarilyn's joyful closeness with Billy was shattered as she heard the
screams of wounded dragons, and looked up to scream in terror.  

  "Billy!  They're killing dragons!  Dragons are killing dragons!"

  She buried her head in Billy's shoulder, and sobbed...never having
thought to see the day that dragons would kill their own.  And their
riders...her head snapped up...the riders would die too!  This was
entirely too much, and she slumped against Billy, quite shaken by her
'rescue' that had gone so horribly wrong.

  They are right outside the entrance, actually.  :P  LOADS of audience
potential there!

  Quite happily snuggled, as a matter of fact, and totally ignorant of
anything at this point.  Unless James wants Tem's dragon to hear about it
or something...
