"Quinn! Anja!" Alex shouted. Theey came hurrying over and the trio squatted down in the scorched ring of grass. Alex pointed at a thin metal tube. It's nylon tether had been sawn through with the impact and now it lay half buried in the mud.
"Let's open it then," cried Anja.
Quinn wrestled with the rusted lid and eventaully it came free. He bent over and used his index finger to draw out the item within. It was a message. Written on three sheets of note paper in large swirling script. Quinn began to laugh.

"There's a colony in Quebec. Of over seven thousand people from across the world living in the ruins of the capital. Seven thousand!"
Quinn put his back to the dragon's paling body and patted it. And his hand met with the smouldering ends of some reigns. He shook his head and the smile flickered on his face.
"Some poor bastard had to ride a dragon all the way from America. To tell us that we're not alone."
Anja gripped his hand.
"And we've got to go and get them."
