n the other side of the canyon, Florence, to herself, said,
"Sending a sorceress along with Jeanette on Kathy's back may seem helpful in dealing with
the dragon and while she is certainly light enough, her familiar isn't. Considering
the amount of time Kamida has been separated from her familiar, separating them even more
would not be wise."

To the others, Florence continued, "If we are to be of any help at all, we need to hurry."
With Pence carrying the backpack, he and the ladies hurried across the canyon but not to
the point of tiring them selves out.
As the three approached, Florence first spotted the dragon, then quietly told the other two
to lay low as she did the same. Florence perked her ears up just to catch any sound
she could; the booming sound of a dragon, the high-pitched sound of a female chipmunk.
Her nose picked up the scent of a dragon, unicorn, some chipmunks, a couple of ferrets
and a donkey. Nothing too surprising there. Telling the other two to stay,
Florence, still laying low, proceeded til she had a clearer understanding of what's going on.
Behind a rock, now closer, Florence could see Stan setting down while off to a short
distance she could see and hear Queen Olivia, Lady Rebecca and Jeanette talking.
Seeing that no plan of attack was needed, Florence called for the other two, and the
three proceeded normally. As they did Florence thought, "It's better to be overly
cautious than to walk right into the middle of danger unprepared."
