THE STEADY DRIP OF WATER was the only sound that could be heard within the cavern. Each drop echoing, growing louder as it bounced off the rocky walls. George and the Elves were frozen in place staring up at the Daemon crouched on the ledge above them. Its skin rippled, flashing green to black in the light of the torches scattered around the chamber. Eyes like glowing coals studied them closely. Skittering from the ledge — holding the Princess before it like some ill-gotten prize — it dropped…

The fields stretched farther than you could see, like an emerald ocean of smooth grass that served as the setting of all the grandkids' games.
