Sandry descended the stairs the next morning to find Jamara, already awake, seated by the fire. She softly approached and took a seat beside the royal.
"Good Morning" Sandry said cheerfully
"Morning" replied Jamara dully
"Is something the matter?" queried Sandry
"I am just worried"
"About what?"
"That I am going to get you all hurt"
"How could you do that?"
"I've dragged you all in to my problem when I should be handling it on my own. My Father will not hesitate to get rid of any obstacles in his path and if I stay with you then you all become obstacles."
"We are bound to you. We're not going to leave just because of your Father. There is someone out there who is trying to hurt you and we are not going to just let it happen. Your our friend now whether you like it or not"
Jamara laughed at the last comment.
"It's going to be difficult finding this mage and beating them"
"Yeah I know but -" Sandry started to say but was cut off when a huge explosion ripped through the building.
Jamara scrambled up from where she had fallen and quickly helped Sandry up.
"It came from upstairs!" she cried before racing for the smoldering stairs.
"Jamara" Sandry shouted rapidly following. She eyed the unstable stairs worriedly. "How are we going to get up there?"
"We aren't, you are going to help get everyone else out down here while I get the people out upstairs"
"NO! I'm helping upstairs! Niko, Briar, Tris and Daja are up there!"
"Niko and Tris went out early this morning."
"So, Briar and Daja are still in danger!"
"And I am going to help them"
"I'm coming too!"
"NO!" Jamara snapped "You can get people to listen to you, persuade them to get outside" She gestured to the people cowering under the table, frozen with fear.
"But-"
"No buts!"
Sandry was pushed towards the main room but turned and watched in amazement as Jamara floated from the ground. She swiveled round and saw Sandry staring.
"Go on! I'll get them out safely!"
Sandry spun back and began gently convincing terrified individuals that outside was a much better place to be. Meanwhile Jamara was using her control over fire to move the flames out of the way as she swiftly flew up the stairs.
Upstairs was barely recognizable. The roof had collapsed in many places and was blocking some of the doorways. Jamara called to the water in the troughs outside and used it to douse the flames licking the entrances. She manages to make a hole in one of the piles of rubble and stood back as a man squeezed his way out, wrung her hand in thanks and disappeared down the stairs. The princess moved on to the next room and released its occupants. She worked her way down the corridor until she reached the room that the blast had come from. She didn't know who have been staying in there but she knew that there was no way they could have survived. Jamara kicked the wall in frustration and sadness. She then spotted the room that the four girls had slept in the night before. Quickly removing the damaged door and peered inside. The room was almost totally destroyed. The furniture was strewn about the place and the walls were cracked. Daja was nowhere to be seen; Jamara prayed that she was somewhere safe. Something caught her eye. Daja's staff was propped in the corner, intact. Jamara swept it up and ran from the room.
Across the hall was Niko and Briar's room. The door was hidden behind a blazing beam. Jamara sent out her magic but was unable to find any water close enough to bring. She didn't want to cause a riot by scaring people with floating water. Instead she spread her magic over the fire and smothered it. Using her power of flight she cause the heavy beam to rise up high enough for her to break down the door. Through the hazy smoke she spotted briar trying to wake an unconscious Daja.
"Briar!" she called.
He turned and spotted her.
"Come and help me with Daja!"
"I can't!"
"Why not?!" he demanded
"The beam-" She gasped trying to keep the heavy wood from falling and from bursting back in to flame. "Quick!"
Briar's eyes widened as he saw the size of the beam being supported by the acro-mage. He quickly gathered Daja in his arms and staggered to the door. Ducking quickly under the beam he turned and watched as Jamara let go of the heavy timber. As soon as her magic left the wood it burst it to flames leaving Jamara very close to being scorched as she collapsed. Grabbing the back of her shirt Briar dragged her backwards towards him.
The beam began to burn fiercely and set ablaze the walls and doors around it. Jamara groaned and opened her eyes. She sat up and looked around before scrambling to her feet.
"We have to get out of here!" she exclaimed.
"Good plan, help me with Daja"
"Here" Jamara held out a hand and Daja rose gently off the floor.
"Part of my flight magic" She replied in answer to his questioning look.
"Oh"
The group hurried to the stair well to find that the stairs had collapsed.
"Uh oh"
"Wait here I'll take Daja down then come back for you"
"I thought you could float things? Just float all of us down."
"I can't fly and float something at the same time plus the floor down there is too dangerous for me to put you down on."
Jamara seized the metal mage round her waist and flew hastily out of the inn. Laying her on the ground near Sandry, Jamara spun and raced back in to the inn. Once inside she noticed the huge crack that ran through the ceiling.
"Oh on!" she thought "The floor's going to collapse"
She swiftly flew up she stairs and to Briar.
"Quick, hold on to my waist"
Briar pulled a face.
"Now's not the time to be immature!" she yelled "The floors about to go!"
"Fine"
He gingerly put his arm around her middle. She rolled her eyes and wrapped her arms round him. Just as they left the ground it gave way and crashed downwards.
"Whoa" breathed Briar as they sped out of the entrance.
They landed safely and Briar quickly let go of Jamara.
Daja smirked "Alright Briar"
"Yeah" he replied
"Here Daja" Jamara said handing her the staff she had strapped to her back. "I managed to find this"
Daja's mouth dropped as she took the polished wood.
"Thank you" she croaked
Jamara smiled.
"Who do you think did this?"
"3 guesses"
"But I thought he wanted you alive"
"He does but he doesn't want you four though, he knew I was downstairs"
Jamara sighed and dropped her head in to her hands.
"I'm sorry"
"It's not your fault"
"Yes it is" was the muffled reply
"No it isn't. It's whoever this mad man is"
"Yeah and we need to find him soon. Before he does more damage."
