Time To Fly
The air was cold and the clouds were thin as pale brush strokes on a vibrant blue background.
The beast that she called Kraytu that carried the dragon rider was no more a pureblood as she was. The dragon had a wingspan greater than a hundred feet from tip to tip. Not red or black, but a mixture of both of the great dragons in one. Horns on its head and fire in its belly.
A saddle and halter had been rigged several years ago to him so that she could ride without falling off.
Vestra leaned in against the wind, not too far or she would have the dragon's neck butting against her face and doing damage. Crimson hair with hints of black in it flew back on the wind and wipped about, along with the cloak that she wore over her hunting leathers. Knees moved and boots got a better hold in the stirrups.
Over RhyDin, they flew. Over the great buildings and those of less worth. Seas and mountains, woodland and desert. They soared over all of them as one, vibrant and zealous heart.
Laughing out loud, for none at those levels above the lands and waters, she guided him out of the wind. Now that it was at their backs, they raced it to the reaches of the immediate continent's edge.
