It felt like I had been stepped on by an elephant.

  I remembered the dragon running over me. I remembered Mei grabbing me. Both of those memories were fuzzy. After that is when things got clearer.

  The white runes on Mei’s arms were gone. She had used all of her healing spells to fix me. I didn’t want to think about had badly I had been beaten up. It was like my nightmare the night before was coming true.

  “Are you okay?” Mei asked. When I didn’t answer right away she shook me. "Are you okay?”

  I nodded. I was still in shock. It had been a good plan, but it hadn’t worked. Billy hadn’t shown up. The dragon was out in the open. We didn’t have any more healing spells. It was my nightmare come to life.

  “Is she going to be okay?” Michael asked

  “She’ll be fine.’ Mei pointed towards the exit. "Help the Mage.”

  Michael gave me one glance before he ran towards the exit.

  Mei slapped me.

  “Ow!” I exclaimed. "What’s that for!”

  “You let your nightmare come true!” She chided. "You were so focused on what could go wrong. It was all you could see, so that’s what happened.”

  “It’s too big.” I said. "Too strong. I don’t know how to beat it.”

  “Too bad.” Mei walked over and grabbed my sword. She brought it back to me. "We followed you into this death trap because you had a good plan. You can still come up with a plan to get us all out of here alive.”

  I took the sword and stood up. We still had magic. There was plenty I could do with that. I started thinking about the spells that they had.

  “I’ve got an idea.” I ran towards the exit.

  Outside the fight wasn’t going well. Michael was running low on arrows and the dragon kept blasting them with fire. My enchantments might be better than average, but the fireproof enchantment wasn’t going to hold for long against that continuous of an assault.

  I pointed to my left. "Mei move over there and hit it with a fireball.”

  “Fire doesn’t affect dragons.” Mei said

  “I know.” I looked at her. "Do you trust me?”

  Mei ran to my left and shot a fireball at the dragon. It turned and blasted a breath of fire at her. The fire washed over her, but her enchantment held.

  I ran over to Jonnie. With the dragon moving to its right to track Mei, its left side was to us. The side I had blinded.

  “Can you freeze its wing?” I asked

  “Baby, I can freeze any part of if you want.” Jonnie smiled

  “Then stop talking about it and do it.” I ordered

  Jonnie stood up from behind the rock. He let loose a hail storm that clung to the dragon’s left wing. It staggered in the air once, and fell to the ground.

  “It will just melt the ice.” Michael said from behind the rock.

  “I know,” I popped up. It was already working on thawing its wing. “Jonnie Keep that wing frozen!”

  “You got it!” Jonnie yelled

  I turned to Michael. "Aim for the eye!”

  He nodded and stood up. While they were shooting at it, I ran straight at its face. One way or another I was going to end this.
