Chapter 12: Truth Of The Battle


=Line Break= One Week Later

It had only been a week since we met our riders. They had shown us their parents, and they were completely fine with us having them as riders. I had told Alexa our names and the other kids finally got the pronunciation right. Alexa had to correct them more than a few times. The twins had finally figured out which head breathes gas and which head lights the gas on the Zippleback. We had also been given hand signals in case we ever get separated. We sat in the cove relaxing after all the flying we've done. Brandon and Night Fly had finally learned how to do a back flip. Brandon would jump off do a front flip while Night Fly would do a back flip, and they would both land at the same time. I had also noticed that each of us had formed a bond with our riders. Alexa was sitting over by Brandon, the twins sat on the left wall, Tammy was playing with Ember, Violet was still working on the hand signals and Logan was still working on a trick he was doing with his Gronckle. Night Fly walked over to me from his spot by Brandon.

"When do we tell them about the battle?" he asked as he sat down.

"I don't know." I replied, looking at Alexa. "I don't know if we're ready to battle her yet. I don't want our humans to get hurt."

"We need to tell them sooner or later."

"I know. Just give me a second." I got up and walked over to Alexa. "Um, Alexa. Can I talk to you in private for a minute?"

"Sure Nefera." she said as she hopped on my back. I took off to find a place on the island where I was sure no one would bother us. Once we landed, she hopped off my back and sat down next to me. "What's wrong?"

"You know about all the dragon raids, right?"

"Yeah. I think it's being caused by the dragon queen."

"On the nose. Do you guys think you can help us defeat her?"

"Do you think we're ready for it?"

"I think with a little more practice, we can be ready for it."

"Alright. I think I can, but we need to discuss it with the others." I nodded and she hopped on my back and we flew back to the cove. When we landed, I sat back down next to Night Fly and Alexa began explaining what we are going to do. The other kids agreed to it, but they knew they would have to ask their parents. The kids ran off into the forest to ask their parents. Alexa had told us to stay here until they got back. Alexa joined her friends and we waited for them to come back. My mind was already trying to figure out a battle plan.
'Okay, we could try and attack from behind to start off. But if she turns to quickly, then the others would be attacked. If we could get her into the sky, then it would be a fair battle. But, if the other Vikings interfere, then the plan will be all screwed up. The Vikings can not come to the island. It will put them in danger. Though, if they don't see it, then how will they know that the war is over? AAHH! Why do everything need to be so f***ing complicated?! It's too confusing!'

"Arg!" I shouted. I didn't care if I created an awkward moment, or if everyone was staring at me. My mind was going at a million miles per hour. I couldn't think straight, but I had to map out the battle plan. I pulled out a dying tree and began tracing the battlefield. The island was in the center and we were behind the mountain. 'If we were behind the mountain, then we couldn't attack fast enough.' I erased us from being behind the mountain and put us in front. 'If we're in front, then we would be an easy target.' I erased that, too. 'Maybe if we are separated into pairs. Then we could attack at different angles.' I placed two dots in front, three behind the volcano, and two to the side. Then I began the pairs. 'Alright, Raiden and Denkiri will attack from the front, Sky, Night Fly and I will attack from behind, and Ember and Razor will attack from two different sides. Yeah, that should work.' "Night Fly, can you come here for a second?"

"Sure." he said as he walked over to where I was standing. "What's this?"

"This is the battle plan. First, Raiden and Denkiri will attack from the front. Then, Sky, you and I will come from behind and attack. After us, Ember and Razor will come in from these two sides," I pointed with my tail to the other two sides of the island. "and attack."

"Pretty well thought out. We just need to explain this to the others and we have a plan." We waited for a while until our riders came back. Once they entered the cove, Night Fly said, "Guys, we have a plan."
