Chapter One-Hundred-and-Forty-Four
Adam was able to keep an eye on Julie the entire time as the others brought the Golden Slug airship to Iffenguard, parking it almost directly above the slug dragon’s fortress island. He was glad to observe that she had no schemes in mind nor any thoughts of malice.
Almost as soon as they had stopped the ship, Iffen started to move, albeit slowly. Adam quickly swooped in with the Hippogriff, landing it in the middle of the Golden Slug’s deck. The others all climbed on board, leaving behind the giant vessel.
As Adam pulled the cloud ship away to what he considered a safe distance, Iffen lifted his enormous body with two salamander arms that pushed against the city he slumbered upon. Then two more grew to support him as he rose higher and higher, reaching for the Golden Slug with arms and tentacles.
As soon as he had a grip on the airship, it began to sink down towards him, but he kept pushing his mass up against it, growing more and more arms and tentacles to wrap about its large bone and gold hull.
