~~~Wythra's POV~~~
Typho let go of me with a surprised roar and I fell down to the land below. I pulled out the thin fabric that slowed my fall and dived for Sunfern.
She was caught in the middle of the group of strange dragon riders.
To fast. TOO FAST! Sunfern's head jerked up as she heard me coming. I landed on her back, very hard and uncomfortably. I heard a loud rip as I landed and glanced at the now torn thin fabric that had been my wings.
I reached up and gently yanked her horns in the direction of another island to get her into action. Her gaze landed on the rocky island and she off towards the sky, heading for the island. I looked behind me, none of them were in pursuit.
Sunfern stopped suddenly, leaning back to avoid the monstrous nightmare that just flew in front of her. The gust of wind it created threw me out of my seat and I was once again airborne.
Sunfern looked back and tried to dive after me, only the monstrous nightmare wouldn't let her.
I landed on the back of another dragon. "Are you alright?" I opened my eyes to see Alltiria looking back at me. We were on Iceywind.
We quickly gained altitude as Iceywind climbed higher into the sky towards Sunfern.
She braked suddenly as Typho came barreling in, on fire, knocking the monstrous nightmare away from Sunfern. I could barely see Altimore clinging to him as Typho growled.
A hideous zippleback swooped down to catch the falling rider and dumped him back on his dragon.
A few seconds later we were all lined up again facing each other. Alltiria guided Iceywind over to Sunfern were I jumped off to land on her back
"Hey." I greeted. She purred for a moment before turning her attention to the strange group of dragons.
Altimore flew closer to me. "Idiot! Why did you go after them alone!" She lectured mid-flight. "I wasn't alone. Sunfern was with me." I argued back. "Can you two argue after we're done here!" Alltiria yelled at us.
"I didn't start it." I grumbled, looking back at the riders. "Who are you?" One of the dragon riders yelled at us. Alltiria opened her mouth to answer when a new roar split the air.
"Gronkleiron." All three of us uttered at once.
I turned my back to see the grouchy whispering death hovered behind us. She snarled at us, looking very displeased. "Hey there Darkfeather." I waved, smiling. "We're so dead." I whispered more quietly looking away.
We all were flying behind Darkfeather in single file. We had left the strange group behind at their hideout without saying a thing. Now we were waiting for the inevitable scolding we were gonna get.
Sunfern landed in front of the cave with everyone else. I slide off, patting her on the shoulder. "Sorry." I whispered. She nuzzled my shoulder before walking inside the cave after Darkfeather, followed by Typho and Iceywind.
Alltiria and Altimore walked up to me. I looked over at them, waiting for the lecture I was gonna get. Surprisingly, Alltiria just sighed and walked inside the cave. I stared after her. "That's it?" I asked.
"A look of disapointment? No, punishment? No cleaning the entire cave? Not grounded for a week?"
Altimore punched my shoulder. "Ow!" I exclaimed, rubbing the bruise. "That was kind of awesome. I mean." She cleared her throat. "That was very reckless and you shouldn't have done it."
She had her best serious face on, but her eyes were twinkling.
"Uh huh." I nodded, then turned around and walked inside. I stopped, and shrunk back. "Uh, Hi Yfandes... Nice day out?"
