Finn’s sharp dragon eyes were the first to spot a black dot high above the plain stretching away in front of them. ‘There he is!’ Tia shaded her eyes with her hand and made out a jackdaw flying swiftly in their direction. He landed with a bounce on the grass. ‘Well?’ Tia demanded. ‘Don’t be so impatient,’ the bird said and started to preen his feathers. ‘What did he say?’ the little copper-coloured dragon asked. ‘He told me not to be impatient.’ Finn laughed and puffed out a smoke ring at Loki. The bird shook his wings. ‘That’s better.’ He cocked his head at Tia. ‘I suppose you want a report?’ ‘Yes, please, Loki.’ The jackdaw flew onto Finn’s shoulder so that he was eye to eye with Tia and said, ‘To the west of Iserborg town there are a few big hills. They look as if they’re covered in snow and ice but it’s dust from the white stone that people quarry there.’ ‘That must be marble – you remember Luona’s palace was covered with it?’ ‘Skadi’s castle is grey stone but there are marble statues all over it.’ Loki shook his wings.
