Sapphire's POV
Skye, the dragon, and I had been chatting in my camp for the last hour or so, she had lit the fire as the temperatures dropped and night fell, we had become quite good friends, finding a lot in common with each other, going fishing together and generally mucking around. She had even let me see her in her 'original form' which was similar to a Night Fury, but coloured exactly to the sky but missing the fins on the tip of her tail. She was now covered in tiny, burning white points of light, the stars. She was so perfectly positioned so as to have the moon covered most of her forehead and face and also the underside of her head, her camouflage would be pretty useless without her underside being camouflaged. A cloud blotted out the moon for a moment, before drifting on. She shuffled a little bit, the stars shifting across her scales. I yawned, stretching,
"I'm going to bed. Is it okay if you show me what flying is like in the morning?" I asked, hoping that she would.
"Sure, since you asked so nicely, just don't try to order me around, deal?" Skye looked at me, expectant.
"Deal!" I grinned at her, then entered the cave to sleep.
…
The next morning, I woke up at dawn and went outside to find Skye sitting up, practically glowing with the red-gold dawn,
"Morning!" She said brightly, no pun intended, "Ready to go?" I grinned,
"You're bright this morning, pun intended, and I'm as ready as I'll ever be!"
"Hop on then, I love flying at dawn, it's beautiful!" She offered her back, I clambered on, clinging tightly to her back as I could, as she vanished, almost literally, everything was moving in a blur, I yelled in excitement, this was faster then I'd ever moved, then I looked at Skye's back and almost threw up, her back, a perfect reflection of the sky, was all blurred, like the sky around us. Suddenly we slowed, to a gentle, gliding flight,
"Sorry about the takeoff, it's when I'm most likely to be seen. That, my friend, was about half of my top speed, I'm not used to carrying someone." I suddenly saw something, like a huge rock loom out of the morning light, and realised we were flying back, over the island,
"Watch out!" I yelled at her, "Go down!"
Sorry about the shortish chapter. Next chapter will be the start of ending 1. This is the split off point, so I had to finish here. Please review, and friend-IRL-that-I-mentioned-last-chapter, you know who you are, please don't bite my head of.
