'What do you mean; you think someone could have slipped through with the audience? Listen to yourself.'
The shouting was getting louder, so I had to yell too. 'Listen to yourself, Hilgarda. They couldn't defeat us in battle, so wouldn't this be the next objective?'
Hilgarda shook her head. 'But, we are secure, Jake. These idiots want to stir up trouble for us, is all. Some people do things-'
'Come on, who would stand to gain from sabotaging this meeting?'
'Elves, Faeries, Ingarans, basically anyone who hates you.'
'And that list has grown lately.' I admit reluctantly.
'Well, we can't let anyone leave in case the culprit gets away.'
Amidst the constant squabbling and splashing water, it was proving impossible to identify our tormentors. Then at the back of the cavern, I saw a projection disappear into the cliff wall. As I flew over everyone, Hilgarda followed close behind, again using her low centre of gravity to navigate around the springs.
