With a cry, the dragon launched into the air and out over the wall. Kara threw back her head and shouted at the sky, squealing with delighted laughter. Minutes later, the dragon had left the land behind and winged away out to sea with Kara on its back.

Alarm bells sounded across the Citadel of Melina, for a girl was missing. The panicked teachers led by the headmistress searched the school from top to bottom in every favoured hiding spot. They checked the seal at the gates and lined up the young men to quiz them in case this was some horrible prank instigated for the first day of school, but the girl could not be found.
An urgent plea went out to the Citadel and special guards were brought in to assist with the search. With military precision, they searched the school and the surrounding woods but to no avail. The gates had remained locked and sealed, and no one had accessed the sole passage to the school. Bastion had been robbed of its most precious treasure, and no one knew how. A first-year female child of Bastion was gone.
