Moordryd's Lullaby
Chapter 4: The booster's united
The team stood on the track that morning Artha in open shock. Kit had been assigned to the Army of the Dragon crew and the colors looked good on her. She stood next to Wulph and Ferryt, and rode Wulpf's dragon. Like they were equals. Lyra and Kit eyed one another like rival she-wolves. Eyes narrowing, muscles tightening, the dragons they rode felt their quarrel. Beau didn't hate Alpha but he did want to make him submit to his leadership. The Girls turned to see Artha and Ferryt speeding towards them. And when Artha passed the Baton and once it was secure in her grip she was gone. "Go Beau! Not even the Shadow Booster will out jump us!"
Twisting, turning and leaping the two were as one. She had left most of the pack behind and now raced only three. Kit, Kari and Mefis. Someone used an disrupter mine and blew the track well behind her. She heard an explosion, hearing a scream and a dragon cry. Turned to see Kit hanging from her Saddle. Her parachute gone. "No! Not again."She whispered.
She looked at Beau. "I can not turn my back on them." and with no other explanation sent the dragon back up the track unknowingly under the eyes of thousands of eyes. She pulled the whip she borrowed from Moordryd and tossed the line to Kit while Beau Mag Locked Alpha. "Why!? Why are you helping me?" She pulled Harder. "My mother died saving the woman who married the man she loved. I don't know you. Your Artha's friend. Your Moordryd's Enemy. I love Moordryd. You Annoy Word. He's not such a bad Guy. My mother saw good in him."The support cracked. "Crow-Drag!" Kit smiled. "Let go.. I forgive you."Lyra shook her head. "A Heart of a Dragon crew member NEVER Leaves a friend behind. I need Help though."She sighed.
The others watched in shock and fear as Beau and Lyra dragged Alpha and Kit onto the track and all four were taken to the hospital, Lyra for having collapsed on the track from using too much mag energy locking with Beau. "We did It Beau... I felt Like I was someone special too..." And she slid into darkness on his back. When she woke up she looked into innocent eyes. "Hello Lance." He whirled and ran out of the room and yelled into the waiting room. "THEY'RE AWAKE!" They filed into the room and the openly smiling women.
"Hello" Word surprised every one and hugged Tannis' daughter who embraced him back. "Mother would be glad you are here' She whispered in his ear. He left shortly after leaving her with a few small gifts. Wulph spoke to Kit. While the nurse was poking and prodding Lyra for discharge. "Now young woman. You can not ride alone home, You could jar your injuries." Connor butted in. "Its alright nurse she will ride in the back of a dragon transport." She nodded and Lyra was finally allowed to leave. Lyra turned a corner to see Kit pinned by Wulph being kissed within an inch of her life. She kissed just as aggressively but Lyra smiled turned and left leaving them alone to their reunion not knowing Artha too had seen the kiss. And it had broken his heart.
Artha rode away hard and for some reason Moordryd followed him. They had been fighting Artha realized this was Moordryd's way of helping him working it out when his communicator went off. "We need the dragon booster Artha we are under attack from some upper city punks. They seem to be after Lyra or her dragon. Its a total mess up here. The men turned to one another. "For Lyra?" Moordryd asked. Artha nodded. "Release the Dragon!" "Unleash the Shadow!"
