The flaming horse—no, it wasn’t a horse on fire, it was a horse made of fire—struck the wall and disappeared in a billow of steam. Rodrick stumbled back, sword held before him, looking for further attacks, but nothing came. A pale man in dark robes hurried out of the same side street the horse had come from, looked at the ice wall, gasped, looked at glowering Nagesh, and gasped again. He bowed so low his forehead almost touched his knees, at the same time holding up his hands, palms turned towa...rd them. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it was an accident—”
“Fool,” Nagesh said curtly. “Begone, and don’t loose your abominable magics in public again.” The man backed away, bowing as he did, until he disappeared back into the street he’d come from.
“That was … unusual,” Rodrick said.
Nagesh thumped the ice wall with his knuckles and looked at the sword. “You acted quickly.”
“I don’t like fire,” Hrym said.
“Mmm, I understand. How long will the wall last?”
