The dragon that shows up, makes eye contact with Vlad, rips a Jenoine to shreds, and reminds Vlad of Aliera is actually Devera. Sethra comments on it to Aliera when the dragon joins in the attack on the Jenoine, apparently in contravention of Sethra's orders. Something like this: S: "Don't you know who that is?" A: "No, should I?" S: "Yes. Very well, leave her alone, we'll adjust." Note that the dragon is protective of Aliera, and when it gets knocked out by an invisible wall, shakes its head in a strangely human fashion. When Aliera gets knocked over by a Jenoine, she also shakes her head in a "gesture terribly reminiscent of the Dragon." ~Max Wilson Devera-fan -- Be pretty if you are, Be witty if you can, But be cheerful if it kills you.
