It was always a long shot.
Perry and Parker waited until they could hear the dragon snoring (and good heaven can dragons snore) and then slipped out of their cave prison.
The mountainside was steep and there was rather a lot of it to get down ("highest mountain in the kingdom, I think" Perry told Parker, offering her his hand over a particularly treacherous bit of ground.) It was very slow-going, but they were managing.
And then . . . they heard the snoring stop.
Moments later they were both scooped up and, in under a minute, returned to their starting point.
Which is where they are now.
The dragon snorts a chastising puff of smoke at them and stomps off. The sheep looks over at them and Perry feels . . . oddly reproached.
Perry dusts off his trousers and sits down on a rock.
"Well, what shall we do now?"
