~~~Wythra's POV~~~
"Why did I think this would be a good idea!" I hissed as Sunfern dove through the air and into the forest.
She didn't answer as she was busy dodging the trees and keeping the other riders away. I huddled down even further until I was laying flat on Sunfern's back. I moved up and down with Sunfern with every wing-flap.
A blast fire landed beside us. Trying to drive us on a specific course are we? I scowled.
More blasts blocked the way and Sunfern had to stop suddenly to avoid being hit. A low growl shook my body as Sunfern got frustrated and shot straight up into the air.
We zoomed past the riders and continued into the sky before Sunfern turned long enough to look down on them.
She paused for a few seconds, just long enough for me to get look at the dragons chasing us. There was a gronkle, a monstrous nightmare, a hideous zippleback, another deadly nadder like Sunfern, and the dragon I didn't recognize.
He looks a lot like DesertFlower... I contemplated. A moment later as Sunfern dived again, trying to get past them and away from the island I shook it off. We need to get away from here for now.
I gasped as a net was dropped in front of us. "Look out!" I screeched and tried to pull Sunfern to a stop.
She let out a surprised squawk and flared out her wings but couldn't stop in time. The momentum sent us into the net and snatched it out of the other dragons claws. We tumbled down out of the sky to the forest below.
We landed on the ground with a crash. Sunfern roared as she scrambled to her feet shaking the net wildly. I covered my hand and curled up into the tightest ball I could.
Great, first we get caught and now I'm trapped inside a net with a panicking dragon.
Dragons landed down around us in a circle. I opened one eye to try and see what was going on through the wildly waving net.
A blurry image of someone approaching the net was all I could see. A loud battle cry suddenly split the air.
Typho. I recognized the large typhoomerang's roar. Something heavy landed on the ground with a thump and half of the circle shattered as dragons and riders alike dove out of the way.
A smaller dragon grabbed the net and yanked it off of Sunfern as she flew past to circle back and land beside Typho.
Sunfern finally stood on her two feet and snarled. I looked up from where I was still curled up as she hovered over me protectively. The dragons had lined up, all ready for a fight. I looked back. Typho, Iceywind and their riders were both standing there, equally ready for a fight.
My heart sunk. Their about to fight if I don't do something. And worse, I'm in the middle of the line of fire.
