Ruby backed into the wedge, her breasts pressing against the cold mountain rocks.
"Oof!" She struck her head on a sharp edge and blinked profusely, but she wasn't injured.
She couldn't see what was going on, but she heard the whooshing and swooshing and flapping of wings. Sometimes she heard a scream and that meant a dragon had been wounded and turned back into flesh form.
It seemed to take forever and all she did was pray to the gods she'd be able to escape.
After a few minutes, there was nothing but silence and she feared that she'd either be stuck there or taken by an enemy.
"Oh no.."
Her head was spinning from being kept in a tiny space for so long and her breathing became deep and drawn out.
"Ruby.."
She looked to her left and saw Dante standing there--his eyes still turned, his body looking bruised and battered, but he was intact.
He held out his hand and Ruby didn't hesitate to take it.
Pulling her out of the small space, Dante studied her and knew instantly that she'd been injured.
"Ruby..."
His snarl was the last thing Ruby remembered before she passed out in his arms.
