I had to act swiftly. With a final surge of energy, I shattered the dome into a cascade of shimmering shards. I cradled the girl gently in my arms, my scales surely uncomfortable in comparison to her soft skin.
The guards would soon be after us, and my heart raced with urgency. With the girl in one of my arms, with the other arm, I shattered a nearby window and swiftly navigated through the rocky, sandy landscape.
