After the incident, Zmerr decided sleep was an absolute necessity. He slipped away from the group, trying to go unnoticed. He did not want to wait any longer. On his way back to the room, the depth of the situation hit him. Evil dragons? he didn't know there was such a thing. Maybe he had just assumed that all the remaining dragons resided within the school walls. Sometimes his own naivety surprised even himself. 

He shook his head to clear it. The horse that had ran at him earlier was now quietly following beside him. With a large hole burned into the stable, this poor beast was without shelter. Zmerr figures he'd house the animal in his personal stable until the main one was fixed. In the morning, he would find the owner of the horse and inform them of it's temporary change in location.

Zmerr undid the padlock on his personal stable. There wasn't much room for the large horse. The stable had been made to fit Zmerr's pony. He had to ride a pony because he was too short to reach the stirrups on a horse. He led the animal inside and placed it right in front of the hay trough in case it was hungry. The horse turned around to face him. it had a knowing look to it's face as if it were more intelligent than the rest of its species. He pet the horses nose.

"They gave me the credit, but I think you're the one that saved the day, my large companion. In the morning, I will bring you a treat." he gave the beast a final pat before turning around and heading to his room. 

Zmerr flopped down on his bed causing it to creak loudly. Thankfully, no one else could hear it. He sprawled himself out and closed his eyes, rethinking the situation. Who could possibly want to challenge Cadmus? Who could possibly be THAT crazy? And why the student stables? Zmerr had an off feeling that perhaps the attack was not a challenge for Cadmus, but rather for all of Crescent Academy. A great evil looking to destroy the prestige and honor of the staff and students. Once again, Zmerr resented his naivety. He'd thought no danger would come to the school, but this night had proved otherwise.
