I'm so sorry I don't update often! I mean to, I really do, but studying is
kind of more important at the moment. Anyone who has crashed and burned
their practice exams when they were supposed to ace them will know what I'm
talking about.
R&R!

Chapter 5: Flying Lessons
It took a full 5 minutes for Earth Dragon to stop laughing. Kitchel however, kept on going.
Whilst waiting for their female companion to stop laughing, Thatz flew to the table on Earth (although it took some convincing, seeing as Earth couldn't see why he should fly when Thatz had wings) and attempted to open the letter along with Ringleys. It didn't work however, and Earth Dragon only succeeded in ripping a large hole in the envelope.
So they waited.
And waited . . .
* * *
"Hah, O-okay, bah hah hah. I-I'm okay now!"
"Gee, are you sure?" Thatz asked sarcastically. "Its only been what? An hour?"
"Quiet shorty" Kitchel snapped back, staring down at the winged Dragon Knight. "You're in no condition to mess with me."
Thatz rolled his eyes. "Kitchel! If you hadn't noticed, all our stuff is gone!"
Kitchel blinked, and stared at the table.
"Hey, you're right! Where did you put it?"
Thatz fell down in sheer awe of his companion's stupidity.
"Kitchel, I'm eight inches tall. I didn't 'move' anything."
Kitchel was about to snap back a retort when she caught sight of Ringleys, dragging a large envelope towards her.
"We found . . . this . . . on the . . . table" he gasped. "What . . . does it say?"
Kitchel took the envelope, much to Ringleys relief, and opened it. The handwriting was terrible, but she managed to read it . . .
* * *
Dear Dragon Knight,
Think you can defeat and steal from the great Ekidonna and just get away with it? Sorry to disappoint you, but now the tables have turned. Don't bother trying to find me, I'm off to pawn off all your goods in some other town. See ya losers!
* * *
"And it's signed with a stupid little picture of a demon and Ekidonna's name underneath!" Kitchel shouted angrily, tossing the letter back down.
"I knew I should have killed him!" Thatz shouted, slamming his fist on the table. "Who'd have guessed he'd survive a tower falling on top of him?"
"So what do we do now?" Ringleys asked.
Kitchel sighed. "Well, since Ekidonna has the map, the stone and the Dragon Eye, I guess I'll go into town and see if anyone spotted him. I'll also ask them to hold the boat I got."
"What do you mean you?" Thatz asked. "We're all going."
Kitchel grinned, and picked Thatz up by his shirt.
"Hey!"
Kitchel grinned wider. "Thatz, you're in no condition to go anywhere. You stay here with Ringleys and Earth."
Ringleys grinned and jumped up to Thatz as Kitchel put him down. "Whilst she's gone, me and Earth can teach you how to fly!"
Earth snorted, holding in a laugh at the thought of his master flying.
"Words cannot express my joy" Thatz muttered, crossing his arms.
Kitchel ignored him, and walked to the door.
"See you later guys!" she laughed.
* * *
"So you haven't seen anyone?" Kitchel asked.
The girl shook her head. "But you might want to try over there" she replied, pointing to the pawnshop. "It would make sense to sell some goods before he left."
"She's got a point," Kitchel thought, walking to the building. "That's what I'd do."
* * *
"Okay Thatz" Ringleys started. "Flying is really easy once you get the hang of it."
Earth nodded in agreement.
Thatz frowned. "Fine, what's so easy about it. How do you fly?"
"Uh. It just is!" Ringleys replied.
Thatz sweatdropped. "Can you be a bit more specific?"
"Um well . . . first off, you have to figure out how to get your wings to move, then . . . um . . . "
A vein popped up on Thatz's forehead. "This is ridiculous. I KNOW you have to flap your wings, but I don't know how! They don't move. How did you fly the first time?" Ringleys looked sheepish. "I was sitting in a tree and I fell out. I kinda did it without realising it."
Thatz turned to Earth. "What about you?"
Earth sweatdropped, and held up a sign. [I fell off a cliff.]
Thatz collapsed. "I'm starting to see a pattern here" he groaned.
Ringleys looked at Earth. "I know he fell before and nothing happened, but do you think it could work this time?"
Earth held up another sign. [Worth a try.]
Thatz had just gotten up when Earth flew over him, and picked him up by his shirt collar like Kitchel had earlier.
"Earth!" Thatz shouted. "What are you . . ." he trailed off when it dawned on him.
"No!" he shouted, as Earth walked to the edge of the table, and let him go . . .
* * *
"A guy that looks like Ekidonna?" the shopkeeper asked. "Hm, yes. He pawned off a few trinkets, and headed for Draqueen supposedly.
"What trinkets?" Kitchel asked.
"Oh, these lovely items" the shopkeeper answered, going into 'business' mode. In the blink of an eye, several items were on the counter. Kitchel recognised the glasses Thatz had used to try and complete the map, and Thatz's stone, both lying on the map itself. She didn't recognise anything else, but the Dragon Eye wasn't there.
"Just great" Kitchel muttered. "I guess we'll have to go after him. I'll take these," she said, pointing to the stone, the map and the glasses.
The man smiled. "That'll be . . . "
Kitchel's mouth dropped. "How much for just the stone and the map" she asked weakly.
* * *
"Don't worry Thatz" Ringleys urged. "The twenty fifth time's the charm."
Thatz glared at the Faerie. Earth had been throwing him off the table for what seemed like hours.
"No. Way" he stated. "You are not getting me off this table top again! Why do I even have to learn? It'll be useless when we get the Dragon Eye back."
Ringleys shrugged, and Earth walked back over to Thatz.
"NO!" Thatz ordered. "Not again!"
Earth held up a sign. [But this game's fun!]
"FUN!" Thatz screeched. "Throwing your master off a table is fun! That's it! When I'm back to normal I'm going to tie your wings up and throw you off a cliff. See how much you like it!"
"Uh, Thatz" Ringley's interrupted, shocked at what he saw.
Thatz snapped his head at the Faerie, fire flaring behind him. "WHAT!"
Silently, Ringley's pointed to the ground, and Thatz looked down, to see his feet hovering a few inches above the tabletop. In his rage, his wings had started moving so that he could be eye to eye with Earth, and hadn't noticed.
"Told ya twenty fifth times the charm" Ringleys laughed, flying up to the boy. Earth sighed in relief, as Thatz's rage seemed to disappear.
Thatz blinked. He felt incredibly light. "Hey, this is pretty cool" he said, then realised something. Sweatdropping, he asked.
"Uh, how do you move?"
To be continued . . .
R&R!
