Alixandrina Flandery McDermitt the Third (Part 2)

[Continued from previous post.]

It didn’t take me long to find the source of the sound: a rockslide. No doubt, a traveler had become trapped while sheltering in a cave. Or maybe it was a band of outlaws. I shrugged; I was sure a blast of fire would deal with the latter, and the former might offer me untold wealth for helping them. After all, I needed money. Inns weren’t cheap, even the kind I used, and my purse was flat.

“Who are you?” I called.

“Alixandrina Flandery McDermitt the Third, but you can call me Alix,” the voice replied.

That sounded promising. What self-respecting bandit would have a name like that?

“What can I do for you?” I asked even though I knew the answer. It seemed like a good warm-up question to encourage a bribe.

“If you free me, I’ll reward you well. Let’s see, would a robin-egg-sized ruby do? Or would you prefer a gold nugget?”

That had worked out better than I had hoped. “It will be a lot of work,” I said.

“How about both?”

Wow, this was a soft touch. It was almost disappointing how easy it had been.

“I’ll seal you back in if you’re lying,” I said. “I would hate to go through all that labor only to release a thieving beggar without a groat to her name.”

“Truly, I wouldn’t try to cheat you.”

I sighed, dusted off my hands, and began levitating the rocks out of the way. Even if Alex only had a bent copper, it was the right thing to do.

Gradually, a cave entrance appeared, though I couldn’t see anyone. “You can come out,” I called.

“It needs to be wider,” a deep, rumbling voice said. “It is too small for Alix.”

I frowned. How big was this individual? But rather than protest, I pushed a large boulder aside, enlarging the hole. “There, that should do!” I said.

“Alix can finally see daylight,” the voice said.

I readied a spell. By all rights, a trapped person, eager to leave their confinement, should have appeared by now.

The wisdom of this was soon apparent as a snaky head emerged from the cave's depths.

“You're a #dragon!” I said as I prepared to blast it.
