Uther, Arthur, Merlin and the knights rode out at first light. Peter, Sylar and Morgana were allowed to sleep in since Peter could teleport and Morgana was, much to her surprise, going to be riding the Dragon, who was a little shocked, let me tell you. He hadn't realised the prince had such persuasive skills. But, he conceded, he'd need them, being a royal and all.

"You know, it pays to have a boyfriend who can teleport," Sylar said as he watched Peter.

Peter went very still. "I'm your boyfriend?" he asked, a small hint of wonder colouring his voice.

Sylar shook his head in despair at his slowness. "You really are the slowest person I have ever met," he said. "And that includes Matt's tortoise. And yes," he added, for Peter's benefit. "You are my boyfriend."

"Oh, well..." Peter said, a huge grin on his face. He punched the air half heartedly. "Yay."

Sylar just rolled his eyes. Within moments they were gone.

"Dragon, you really don't mind, do you?" Morgana asked her friend, worry in her eyes.

The Dragon sighed gustily. "No, Morgana, I really don't," he rumbled.

After a bit of hesitation, and some rather clumsy tries, Morgana managed to make her way onto the Dragon's back. She congratulated herself silently and then made the mistake of looking down. She hadn't realised how high the Dragon really was. She gulped.

"The brave Lady Morgana, afraid of heights?" the Dragon teased her, trying to make her forget about her fear.

"Shut it, you," Morgana said, trying not to vomit. His voice certainly helped. She felt his rumble right in her...oops. She'd forgotten about that. Dammit. She vomited over the side, trying to miss the Dragon's scales. She succeeded...partially. "Sorry."

The Dragon rumbled. Morgana gritted her teeth and tried to stop her eyes from rolling back. It was difficult but she succeeded. Sort of. "Are you ready now?" he asked gently after awhile.

"No," Morgana said.

He rumbled and was suddenly up in the air. Morgana instantly forgot her fear – and that other feeling – in the exhilaration of flying.

Galahad grinned. "She really has brought together a rainbow of characters, hasn't she, Henry?"

Henry sulked nearby. He didn't like what his master was doing. He grumbled in reply.

"Oh, Henry!" Galahad exclaimed, trying to hold back a grin. He really didn't understand why he was so darn cheerful but he wasn't in the mood to question it. "You're not still sulking over my troops, are you?"

Henry muttered under his breath and Galahad was able to catch one word: unnatural. He grinned. Really, Henry was just so quaint.

The Dragon landed gracefully. Not so for Morgana. She sort of sat there grinning and then slowly slid off, landing with a thump on the very hard ground.

Merlin rushed to her side, being a true gentleman (unlike Arthur who was laughing his ass off), but by the time he had reached her she had risen to her feet and was wobbling off in some random direction, a grin plastered to her face.

Gwen followed, giving very subtle directions to her mistress (read: moved in front of her whenever she went the wrong way – this obviously led to some difficulty since Morgana believed whole heartedly that the way she was going was the right way). "So the flying must have been marvellous, my lady?" she asked on one of these many instances.

"What?" Morgana said, a small frown creasing her brow as she slowly made her way in the direction Gwen was pushing her towards. Gwen repeated the question. Morgana began giggling. "Oh. The flying. Right." She giggled quietly to herself

"I don't remember flying having that much effect on me," Peter said.

The Dragon gave him a Look. Peter could feel the capitalisation. "Obviously you've never flown with a Dragon," he replied. Peter got the impression that he was some sort of snob. It didn't really surprise him.

Hmmm, that thought is still there. It has been germinating and I think I might actually go through with it.

Review please.
