The wrong task, indeed. Wessex's silence should have been a warning that she was up to something, but Jigano never would have expected the summoning of a giant into the confined space. He turned to face it as it struck down, landing a blow harder than any other he'd taken since arriving on Caido.
The bard twisted as he fell, seeing stars.
Stars, like the world beyond Safrin's eyes, where he had been shackled and felt his chest and back begin to tear.
Stars, like skies above Numeria, twinkling with the promise of distant worlds beyond his own.
Stars that glittered and gleamed on silver scales, on mountain snows, above pale clouds that reflected moonlight back to the heavens.
Stars
and wings.
The dragon rose with a deafening roar, serpentine body curled comfortably within the confined space as it circled its long, strong tail to lash at the back of the giant's knees and lunged at the summoned beast to knock it back - into the portal of light, and away from the well and its guardian.
Jigano discovers his dragonshift and attempts to knock the giant off balance with his tail while ramming it back into the portal with a scale-armored shoulder!
