From Sand And Ash の小説・ストーリー

Sienna’s throat locked. “What’s that—” The wall behind them cracked, a loud snap splitting concrete, widening fast. Water roared in, black and freezing, smashing her legs out from under her. She went down, Roman’s hand grabbing her arm, but the flood climbed quick, and something crashed overhead—wood splintering, stone falling, the house breaking apart.

As soon as Bryan left, Sandro picked up his mobile and seemed relieved to notice that Asher didn't disconnect the call. "Man, that dude is crazy. Almost as crazy as a Psychopath" Sandro muttered, trying to calm down his pounding heart. Bryan is not here, yet Sandro couldn't relax.

How were they faring? The sun was making its way to the horizon already. In less than an hour, it would be nightfall. She would either have her dragon before then or be an addition to the black sand below, as the hot wind would assist in spreading her ashes evenly. Olive suddenly shuddered. What if the sand truly had ashes of dead people? “That was certainly not a helpful thought,” she said out loud before tossing her jacket off.

The sun had begun setting in the west, and in the east, the full, grey moon began rising above the clouds.
