10 Send the Dragons Away!

CHAPTER 10 SEND THE DRAGONS AWAY! Rory, Bo, and Ana came running down the stairs. They almost bumped into Drake and Petra. "There's an angry crowd outside the castle!" Rori cried. "A very angry crowd," added Bo. "We can't let them send the dragons away!" said Ana.

Griffith and Queen Rose came out of the workshop. The Dragon Masters bowed to the queen. "I must return to King Roland's side," Queen Rose said. "Griffith, please think about what I said." Griffith nodded. "I will do everything I can." As soon as the queen left, Griffith turned to the Dragon Masters. "Stay calm," he said. "How large is this angry mob?"

"There are more people by the castle gate than I've ever seen," said Rori. "The guards are trying to hold them back." "What if they break into the castle?" Ana asked. "What if they take away the dragons?" "Nobody is taking the dragons anywhere," Griffith said. "I'm so sorry!" Petra blurted out. "This is all my fault!" Then she ran off toward the Dragon Caves.

"Let her go," said Rori. "She's not going to help us anyway." "That's not true," said Drake. "She's been trying to help. She's close to connecting with the hydra." "Until that happens, we need to protect our dragons," Rori argued. "Vulcan can shoot fire at the villagers to scare them." "Rori, you must understand: The villagers are afraid. They are worried about their king," Griffith said. "Scaring them more won't help them. We need a peaceful solution to this problem. Let me find out exactly what's going on. iohlik. You four, get back to the books!"

The Dragon Masters rushed to the classroom. Suddenly, Drake's Dragon Stone glowed. He heard Worm in his head. Petra has run away with the hydra!
