Claug flew through the clouds, shifting her scales into light blue to blend with the sky and clouds. Upon reaching her lair she soared down, silently landing, and rushed inside. "You're back." Aella approached her. "What was all of that?"
"No time to talk. She's coming, we need to leave." Claug waved her claw and all of her hoard disappeared into a magical pocket that she swallowed. "We're starting the second half of my plan. Get on my back." She looked at the crystal, "Vollirin managed to avoid Glalorin who was on a hunt so she's arriving quite early."
As everyone climbed on her back, Eris asked. "Can't we just beat her?"
"I can defeat her easily, but that won't be any fun." As everyone got on her back, she waved her claws and changed the layout of her lair, turning it into a strange maze. Getting into the inner room was easy and straightforward, but getting out was almost impossible.
