Ian = Female mage

The young dragon was still crying and seemed to be complaining with whiny yelps. It helped the termites to lock onto their target.

‘Damn!’

I threw the last piece of termite to it and began to run away.

‘There’s no way I can fight against those numbers but I don’t think I can escape, what to do?’

The termites had caught the scent of a dragon and were not far behind. The only escape route is the tunnel and I should choose my path carefully because otherwise I will lead them to Gwyn and Ian’s hideout.

I could also sacrifice the dragon, but that would mean giving up my fantasy dream of being a dragonrider! I kept trying to find a solution for so many termites but it was proving difficult. The sulfur gases could possibly take out a couple hundred and if I use inferno in tight passages where they are stacked together I can maybe take out another hundred but, looking back I noticed I’m being pursued by a swarm of thousands. I can’t seem to find a way out of this one.

‘Damn! How can there be thousands, just what do these guys eat?’ Climbing up to the tunnel I could only think of escaping when faced with such an impossible scenario.
