"What's going on?" yelled Jane.

The crowd pointed to a distant figure floating on a cloud at the very centre of the storm.

It was the missing magician.

Jane and the dragon flew up to meet him.

"What was it?" asked Jane.

The magician clapped his hands together.

"Anger!" he roared, and the thunder roared with him.
