The entire huge Arsenal yard was packed with people. It seems that there were much more of them there than Drakan himself expected.

People sat on the roofs of the lowest buildings - forges, baths, on the top of the garrison gate, they hung from the windows of the eastern wing. Only around the scaffold and the dragon it was equally empty. And although everyone was eager to see the dragon, no one wanted to come closer to him. But just at that moment no one was looking at the monster. People bowed their heads, looked down or did not take their eyes off My Mother.
