[I'm listening.]
Lilith's voice reached him without a sound in the room. Simon turned his head toward the window, watching fire pass behind the buildings outside.
[How much do you know about this place?]
[Enough to know it looked very different once.]
He pushed himself up against the headboard.
[You've been here before?]
[Yes.]
[Then you know the dragon we're standing on?]
[Yes I do.]
She paused.
[Veyra. One of my mother's followers.]
Simon sat forward, letting the pillow slip behind his back.
[That dragon served your mother?]
[Yes. Long before anyone thought of building cities here.]
Lilith paused before adding, [I remember visitors being made to remove their weapons before entering this dimension. Veyra wouldn't tolerate even a scratch on anything here.]
Simon glanced at the floor beneath his bare feet.
[I doubt the people building houses on the corpse asked permission.]
[No. A shame to end up like this.]
