"I don't know!" Larek exclaimed as he grabbed Nyx, pulling her away from another falling light, which exploded near them. "Toby! Toby, can you hear me?!"

The dragon swooped down, briefly. "Can't talk now! Wait a moment! This wave is nearly done!"

"This wave?! What's that mean?!" Larek asked. The dragon gave no response, but kept attacking the lights. After a few more minutes, he landed, gasping for breath.
