What if Joyride is alive, but injured? What if she needs help and all he did was lay here and be afraid for himself?
Apprehensively, Emerald stands and takes a step towards the road. He then remembers the box, and looks around. He finds the biggest log he can and puts it on the box. He is pretty sure that Stargazer can’t get out of the box, and even if she did she is bound… But it doesn’t help to be too careful.
The trip back to the road is made much easier without the box, and what he sees concerns him greatly for Joyride’s welfare.
The road is lit by several small brushfires around the road. The earth is scorched black in many places, and bushes and trees are cracked and strewn across the road, or otherwise ripped out by their roots.
There is one giant, smoking crater in the middle of the road, and approaching it Emerald sees nothing inside but more blasted black earth.
Emerald’s mind starts to race. Is Joyride okay? Will he be okay? What should he do? What if more of the soldiers come? What if another dragon comes?
Emerald takes a deep breath. Don’t freak out. Just take things as they come.
