Hespa's Story part 12 - Plan B Etc

"Hmm, this definitely is a problem."

He ponders a bit looking around at the country side.

Emma looks on expectantly.

"Well, lets brain storm just a bit.  There might be someone else Here who could just send you back.  There is probably someone at the Dragon University.  Or maybe we could find something in Hespa's Hoard.  Or even something in one of the other shops.  Then there is the Library at the DU in which we may be able to find something useful.  Xaq comes to mind or possibly Aarnia.  I know Q could do it but I don't think he's around.  Then there is that wishing sphere that Karenji
has.  And Zon14 does this sort of thing frequently.  Or possibly Terratek.  And Shyriath has the Ouchmaker.  After all Alfandra *is* a nexus region; why a portal might just pop open and suck you back any minuet now!  You really do have to watch out for those trick portals sneaking up on you around here."  ];8)

"How's that for plans B through N?  Any other ideas?"

The dragon girl looks slightly overwhelmed.  "I reckon that should be enough to go on!!  OK, where do we start?"

"I would try the Library at the Dragon University.  The University is built in a not-so-dormant volcano a rocks throw off the North Alfandra coast, it's not far from
here."  He spreads his wings getting ready to take off and fly there.

Emma nods.

Hespa adds: **any of those sounds good to me, apart from waiting for a portal - that's just a *little* too passive for my taste...**

Agreed then.  Let's go!
<turns to leave, then turns back to the newly-draconified Emma, a questioning look on his face.>
Can you fly?  I mean, you obviously can physically, but do you know how?  Cira, do you know if the flying instinct comes with the physical form?  You could learn, I guess, but we *are* a bit short on time here...Try flying just a little, close to the ground.  If you can't fly, we'll get Cira to polymorph you back to human form and I'd be happy to let you ride on my back...

"Can I fly?"  Her thoughts returning to her new form, the change in Emma is immediately apparent - her eyes light up, and that draconic grin spreads across her features once more.  "There's only one way to find out!"
