LionsandTrolls: Yes! :p thanks for reviewing this story as well :)
DeadGirl19: Here is the dragon fic! Puff. There will be a Puff! You'll just have to wait and see how, though... 😈 I thought of her and was like, YES! Friend for Val that could come in useful! And then I realised that I'd spelt her name wrong when you reviewed, and went back to correct my mistake... -_-
I went to my grandparents and did not have any internet so... Late update, unhappy Insanity people!
Puff the magic dragon, lived by the sea, and frolick-
Disclaimer: HELP ME PEOPLE! HELP! THEY WANT ME TO STOP SINGING PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON! Well I shan't! This may not belong to me, the song does not, but my Puffling does and HE WANTS TO BE SUNG TO!
Val was falling, but she wasn't out of control. She was most definitely in control... She just wasn't using any magic. Because her magic might attract the creature, and she didn't want to be in a race for life like last time. No, she would only use magic at the last possible moment, and even then she would use as little as possible. Which meant no light, and no deciding how fast she fell and which part of her body was facing downwards. Or how much she flipped over. No that she thought about it, this wasn't the greatest plan. In fact, it was one, quite possible the, worst plan that she had ever made. Even as Darquesse she had been more intelligent than this. Hello! The evil one herself cried happily in Val's mind. Val quickly constructed a wall between her thoughts and her evil persona. Her now irritatingly chirpy inner voice. Anyway. Valkyrie was scared, but she would never admit that. And the fact was partially due to the fact that if she opened her mouth she would scream. Skulduggery wasn't here, Myosotis wouldn't be able to hear her, Tanith was asleep, and everyone else she knew probably was as well. The fact was also helped into existence with the knowledge that if Val screamed, Gordon would most probably come and eat her. Not the nice Gordon either, instead the beautiful, fiery, dangerous, vicious, perfect, terrifying beast that was... A dragon… Valkyrie reigned in a delighted giggle. She would get the beast and she would tame it! It would be hers! An excited laugh burst out of the black haired, clothed and eyed girl. Then she gasped and stiffened her muscles until she looked like a human-shaped plank. What if the dragon had heard? That would be bad. She didn't know how to tame a dragon in the air! Bearing that in mind, she didn't know how to tame it on the ground either... Valkyrie suddenly had the thought that this might not have been the best idea. The she disregarded that thought- how could trying to get Gordon be a bad idea? It was a tremendous idea! Getting Gordon Op 1… Val congratulated herself on thinking up the amazing name in the air. She was amazing. She was so very amazing. Even as Darquesse she was amazing. Is this plan amazing? Of course it is, but it is also so very dangerous. It could harm her amazing self if it got out of hand!
As Valkyrie fell through the air she wondered- were the after affects of battle finally catching up to her and making her act in a totally irresponsible manner? Then she dismissed the thought- when had age ever been affected by anything? Apart from... It. The reflection. That she had killed! Mwahaha! Darquesse giggled dangerously. SHUT UP! Valkyrie screamed at her. Just because you let me come back in front and helped me kill the reflection does not mean that you are still allowed to impose upon my thoughts! Stupid true name. Always trying to take the spotlight.
Val was worried. She had been falling for ten minutes now, and there was no sign of Gordon. She wanted Gordon, though she planned to capture him on the ground, but he wasn't coming! Maybe she needed to make some noise? I thought we were going to get him on the ground? Darquesse commented dryly. Well, yeah, Val told her, but that was before I got bored. He's being very rude by not noticing me... She knew that Darquesse was laughing at her, but ignored that fact. She was worried about Gordon. He was supposed to be flying up to greet her, not staying in this lonely pit! Valkyrie screamed in the hopes of making him angry. Then she narrowed her eyes and glared because Gordon hadn't responded. Breathing deeply to taste the particles of air surrounding her, Val manipulated the molecules so they carried her through the air more quickly.
Far above her, Skulduggery Pleasant was holding tightly onto his hat as he fell swiftly in the hopes of rescuing his partner.
So... Worth the wait?
