Sidaire was watching his "brother" Oropo fight the Eliatrope dragon Grougaloragran (dragon who has a brother/sister Eliatrope). Standing with him, Echo, the demigoddess Eniripsa, and three other Eliotropes, Bouillon, Atone and Ripulse, are also watching the fight in silence. Suddenly, Sidaire seems to sense another presence and his eyes scan his surroundings warily.
