Kastron nodded. “True, but it might be easier if one of us lifts the other out, or at least hoists him up good so that he can get out, then help the other.” He assessed the hole again, squinting slightly against the ghostish blue light that sifted in. “Then again, your right it’s too high up…”

“Well, maybe there’s a good pedestal or table or something that we can use….. come on help me search,” Eldor said getting up and looking through the treasures surrounding them.

Kastron aided Eldor in rummaging around the room in search of means of escape. Somewhere in the distance, the dragon have its threatening sounds. Kastron continued searching then stopped. “Wait a fathom.”, he said and motioned towards the egg. “If this be the dragons egg, then that be its mother.” His head motioned towards the hole in the spiky ceiling. “And when she comes back…” , he silenced and pressed his lips together in thought.

''Maybe she'll help us get back,'' Eldor answered off-handedly.

Kastron nodded wisely. “Ah yes, no doubt she will, the question remains in what form we will be by the time she does that. This is, after all, HER egg.” He continued his search for something to put it in.

Eldor nodded, ''you're right I suppose,'' he picked up a piece of purple silk,'' we can carry it in this,'' he suggested. He walked around the room, ''and look,'' he pointed to a curtain pole made of mahogany, ''we can stand this up and climb out.''

Kastron surveyed the pole and nodded quickly. “Give me the cloth piece.”, he instructed. “I think I remember how the women in this country named Indian use it to wrap things so as to make them quite secure.”

Eldor handed the silk to Kastron with a look of confusion on his face, his mind was running though all the geography lessons he had ever had and not one brought the name Indian to mind. He shrugged, it was probably one of Kastron's fanciful ideas, he began setting the pole up.

Kastron took the large piece of cloth from the somewhat befuddled looking Eldor and spread it out on the floor, folding it close by the corners, but not quite perfectly diagonal. Then, in a rapid succession of ticks and folds, he finally came out holding a somewhat container like looking basket pouch, some of who he’s loose corners he secured with his fishing line. “Ok, it’s done, place the egg inside.”

Eldor gave a last adjustment to the curtain rod before walking back to Kastron, he hefted up the egg and laid it gently into the sack, ''think we can take any of this with us,'' he asked gesturing to the glittering objects surrounding them.

Kastron tucked some cloth over the egg and glanced over the other valuable items. “Beyond doubt.”, he assured, although he wasn’t quite so sure as to how to go about that.

''Well I suppose I could start filling my pockets, this coat has some pretty deep ones,'' he looked around trying to chose what to take.

Kastron checked through several things, trying to decide on what to take. He came across an enormous straight tooth, about ten inches long. “Think this is something?”, he asked Eldor.

Eldor looked up from his own rummagings, ''looks like it was broken off a statue,'' he grunted. Picking out a medallion he turned it over in his hands and observed the intact Celtic design, this was definitely coming with him he thought dropping it into his pocket.

Kastron somehow pocketed the tooth, which looked like a saber tooth. He then shoved some large vases aside and found a small spring case locket, similar to the one Gereneway kept the image of his great aunt looking wife in. He carelessly opened it, already ready to cast it aside, when the inards caught his eye. Inside the small locker like case, there lay a medallion, similar to the one that they had found in Gerenways rummage junk box. He triumphantly held it up. “Look what I found!”, he called, taking the medallion out and extracting a thin leather strap from his pocket.
