"No," whispered Stonemover, his eyes widening.

"Don't be scared," Moon said quickly. "He's not here to hurt us."
"He saved your life," Sunny added. She rested one of her small talons on Stonemover's petrified shoulder, a tiny island of gold among all the black scales in the cave.
"With magic?" Stonemover said, sounding half-panicked. "No. You can't. It's wrong --- my claws! They're not mine!" His eyes rolled wildly toward his talons and Turtle saw the stone cracking all along his arms, crumbling back to release the scales underneath.

"What do you mean?" Sunny asked. "What's wrong?"
"These aren't my claws!" Stonemover shrieked. "What are they doing? Stop them! Somebody stop them!"
Bewildered, Sunny pounced on one of his front talons. Darkstalker dropped the stalactite and gently pinned the other.
"Don't panic," he said. "You've had a shock. Someone tried to kill you, but you're safe now. Your petrified scales are healing, that's all --- you're not used to being able to feel your limbs anymore. In a moment all the rock will be gone and you'll be back to normal."
"They're not mine," Stonemover said again, in a low, desperate voice. Tension radiated through his muscles, down his arms to the claws that twitched and twitched, breaking free. "No. No, I gave mine up. My talons are gone. These are monsters crawling out of the earth and they will rend the sky and crush the wings of small dragons and I can't let them I wont I won't I won't let them be used again!"
