Now being kidnapped by the Dragon Booster I gripped tightly to his back as his dragon raced through Word Payne's citadel and as I sat behind him I wondered where we were going.
"Umm...excuse me but where are you taking me?" I asked as I looked down at the ground and after a few seconds I felt a little queasy. "Note to self; never look at the ground while travelling on a dragon's back." I mumbled swallowing and that's when the black and gold dragon stopped abruptly. "Ugh...feeling a little sick." I groaned as I jumped down and his dragon stepped away from me and gave me a wide-eyed stare.
"Please don't throw up on me or Beau." Dragon Booster said and I glared at him before I clamped a hand over my mouth. Thankfully I didn't hurl but it was a close call as I shook my head. "Hey I remember you. We saved you from falling when you tried to fly." He said and I crossed my arms frowning a little. "Just kidding." He added before he jumped down from Beau's back. "So what's your name anyway?"
"Rayne. You haven't seen a black and silver dragon around here have you?" I asked as I looked past him into the distance.
"Do you mean Quiksilva?" He asked me and I nodded before something occurred to me and I stared at him.
"How do you know his name?" I said a little suspicious until he coughed. "Have we met before? Other than when I fell?"
"Uh no. I remember Artha Penn mentioned him. So let's find him." He suggested and I shrugged before Beau magged him onto his back and he leaned over offering me his hand. The moment I climbed on behind him Beau shot forward and I had to grab Dragon booster's back. With a laugh at my expense Beau raced through the citadel and pretty soon I saw a familiar face and I grinned as Beau came to a halt.
"There you are. Why did you take off like that?" Moordryd asked now sitting on Decepshun's back and as I watched his eyes narrowed as he saw me sitting on Beau. "Oh I get it. You wanted to hang out with him." He grumbled and I grinned before I jumped down and walked over.
"Excuse me Mr Jealous but he found me after you left me behind." I pointed out and I heard Decepshun chuckle as Moordryd stared at me, his grey eyes going wide.
"Mr Jealous?" He repeated and I giggled before he shook his head. "So are you coming or what?" He added before Decepshun turned around though not before I saw his cheeks turn red and I giggled. "I'd better go. Thanks for the lift guys." I told them before I hurried after Moordyd.
By the time I caught up with him Decepshun had slowed down a little and once I reached her side she magged me on. "Thanks Decepshun." I said and she snorted before she started walking again and as I wrapped my arms around Moordryd's waist I heard him mutter under his breath. "Okay I got lost and they found me. What's wrong?" I asked and he made a snort noise that sounded so much like a dragon that I giggled and he turned his head to stare at me, one eyebrow raised.
"I was...looking for you." He muttered and I grinned touched that he was worried about me. "Never mind. Let's just find Quiksilva and go home." He added and I frowned slightly.
"But I thought this was your home." I said and just for a moment I saw a sadness in his eyes before he blinked and looked in front of him. Getting no clear answer I eventually gave up and as Decepshun kept walking I started to feel a little tired. I wasn't sure why but as my eyes started to close I blinked suddenly hoping the feeling would pass. When I found myself being to nod off again I moved a little closer and suddenly Moordryd felt something press against the middle of his back and he turned his head slightly only to find me resting my head against his back.
"Hey wake up." He told me as he tried to glare at me but I just snuggled into his back, wrapping my arms tighter around his waist.
"Sleepy...night." I mumbled before I started to doze. Moordryd glared at me for a few more seconds before he realized that I was fast asleep and he groaned.
"Scales." He muttered under his breath before he stared straight ahead trying to ignore me using him as a pillow. Decepshun snorted, laughing at her rider and he just growled at her though at one point he did sneak a peek at me and he actually grinned for a moment before he shook his head. Decepshun looked up at him knowing exactly why her rider was looking at me and when she snorted he frowned at her. "I do not like her. She's stubborn and annoying..." He started to say before I rubbed the side of my head against his back still asleep and he stopped in mid sentence blushing. "WelL...maybe she's not...that bad." He muttered and Decepshun laughed as she headed for the Dragon Eye crews hideout. I'm not sure how long I slept but the next thing I knew someone was carrying me and even though I wanted to know who it was I was just too tired to care.
"Is she ever going to wake up?" Cain asked as he stared at me and Moordryd shrugged. Lying near their feet and wrapped in a blanket I shifted in my sleep and Cain rolled his eyes at me. "Hey wake up." He said to me and when I snuggled into my blanket he frowned at me. When Cain went to nudge me with his foot Moordryd glared at him and he stopped more than a little confused. "Hmph whatever. I'm going to go feed Coershun. Have fun with your girlfriend." He added and hurried away before the leader of the Dragon Eyes could yell at him.
"She's not my..." He shouted at Cain before I groaned and rolled over. "Girlfriend." He added in a whisper. Wait why did I just whisper, he thought himself before he left me sleeping. "For dragon's sake what am I doing? She should be looking for that gauntlet not sleeping." He complained but then he glanced back at the stable where I was sleeping and for some strange reason he didn't have the heart to wake me. Which really confused him.
