They
were
identical
to
the
first
two
,
except
the
scaly
one
was
closer
to
the
catlike
one
.
And
the
next
rolling
wave
brought
two
more
,
closer
together
yet
.
“
What
’
s
going
on
?
”
Sophie
squawked
as
this
third
pair
raced
past
,
shaking
the
stones
of
the
jetty
as
they
ran
.
“
Illusions
,
”
Michael
’
s
voice
came
out
of
the
horse
.
“
Some
of
them
.
They
’
re
both
trying
to
fool
one
another
into
chasing
the
wrong
one
.
”
“
Which
is
who
?
”
said
Sophie
.
“
No
idea
,
”
said
the
horse
.
Some
of
the
onlookers
found
the
monsters
too
terrifying
.
Many
went
home
.
Others
jumped
down
into
the
rolling
ships
to
fend
them
off
from
the
quay
.
Sophie
and
Michael
joined
the
hard
core
of
watchers
who
set
off
through
the
streets
of
Porthaven
after
the
monsters
.
First
they
followed
a
river
of
sea
water
,
then
huge
,
wet
paw
prints
,
and
finally
white
gouges
and
scratches
where
the
claws
of
the
creatures
had
dug
into
the
stones
of
the
street
.
These
led
everyone
out
the
back
of
the
town
to
the
marshes
where
Sophie
and
Michael
had
chased
the
shooting
star
.
By
this
time
all
six
creatures
were
bounding
black
dots
,
vanishing
into
the
flat
distance
.
The
crowd
spread
out
into
a
ragged
line
on
the
bank
,
staring
,
hoping
for
more
,
and
afraid
of
what
they
might
see
.
After
a
while
no
one
could
see
anything
but
empty
marsh
.
Nothing
happened
.
Quite
a
few
people
were
turning
away
to
leave
when
of
course
everyone
else
shouted
,
“
Look
!
”
A
ball
of
pale
fire
rolled
lazily
up
in
the
distance
.
It
must
have
been
enormous
.
The
bang
that
went
with
hit
only
reached
the
watchers
when
the
fireball
had
become
a
spreading
tower
of
smoke
.
The
line
of
people
all
winced
at
the
blunt
thunder
of
it
.
They
watched
the
smoke
spread
until
it
became
part
of
the
mist
on
the
marshes
.
They
went
on
watching
after
that
.
But
there
was
simply
peace
and
silence
.
The
wind
rattled
the
marsh
weeds
,
and
birds
began
to
dare
to
cry
again
.
“
I
reckon
they
must
have
done
for
one
another
,
”
people
said
.
The
crowd
gradually
split
into
separate
figures
hurrying
away
to
jobs
they
left
half
done
.
Sophie
and
Michael
waited
until
the
very
last
,
when
it
was
clear
that
it
was
indeed
all
over
.
Then
they
turned
slowly
back
into
Porthaven
.
Neither
of
them
felt
like
speaking
.
Only
the
dog
-
man
seemed
happy
.
He
sauntered
beside
them
so
friskily
that
Sophie
was
sure
he
thought
Howl
was
done
for
.
He
was
so
pleased
with
life
that
when
they
turned
into
the
street
where
Howl
’
s
house
was
and
there
happened
to
be
a
stray
cat
crossing
the
road
,
the
dog
-
man
uttered
a
joyful
bark
and
galloped
after
it
.
He
chased
it
with
a
dash
and
a
skitter
straight
to
the
castle
doorstep
,
where
it
turned
and
glared
.
