The Land's Threat

Arad smiled, "An invisibility cloak for Jack, a bag of holding as a pouch for Aella. And an armor for me. That will do it, but I have something else to ask about. I still have the scales of the red dragon."

Merlin looked at Arad, tilting her head. "You're already wearing your scales, and you will get an armor made of them. I suggest saving the red scales for the future."

"Hoi! Merlin, this thing is boiling. Is that okay?" Alcott pointed at the prototype heater. "AYA!" Merlin cried, rushing with her wand and waving it around.

The bubbling faded, and the heat subdued. Merlin fell on her butt, panting, "It was close,"

Ginger approached Merlin, standing beside her. "If that were large enough to heat the city, it would have caused a fire."

"You're right. I need to make sure it is stable so people can survive the winter." Merlin sighed.
