CHAPTER 553
Immediately Astrid's eyes opened, and she saw the flames around her had vanished. Sticking to her words, Draco's dragon flapped her wings and ascended into the skies.
Although one threat was gone, now Astrid had to bother with the destroyed mountain. The next thing she knew, the cracks began to spread out and the deafening sound of rumbling surrounded her.
"You have got to be kidding me." Her eyes scanned around and she caught sight of Nerissa still trying to fix things up. "Aunt Nerissa..."
Her heart flew into her mouth when she noticed that side of the mountain was about to crumble.
Diving straight for Nerissa, Astrid flew with the highest speed she had ever flown and swooped Nerissa in her arms.
"Astrid no!"
"You are going to die if we do not leave here now." Taking Nerissa with her, she charged away from there, dashing towards the others.
