i pray day and night that they will be released and the terror of the dragons will end , said the lady of the mountains . theyre going to fix this tonight and youre going to be safe . without another thought she dropped to the ground , flattening herself against the cold wooden floor of the gallery . she turned it over and over in her hand as she stood at the window , thinking . and there was this : once pam started down a road , she rarely turned around .
