Kaz hurried along deserted corridors. Coming to a fork, she stopped. Where to next? Suddenly Zephyra squeaked behind her. Kaz turned around. Zephyra was looking very ill and weak, her wings hanging limply to the ground. She gestured towards the corridor to the right, sloping downwards. She tried to fly up, but her wings wouldn't carry her. Kaz picked her up and frowned. What is happening to her?
Neb has been poisoned, Aerynkoryk informed her. Zephyra is reacting. Kaz winced, imagining Neb lying dying in a corridor somewhere. She touched the antidote in her belt. We have to hurry. Kaz set Zephyra on her shoulder and sprinted down the corridor.
