You watched, nearly sick when he discovered that the portal had erred once again. How many times must this happen? Don't you realize how very important this mission is? Can't you get anything right? You growled and threw your clenched fist into the air. You felt your wings flutter madly beneath your cloak.
You and Drak stepped from the portal into a lush forest. The air was so thick you could feel its dampness sticking to your flesh and pasting his hair along your brow.
"Where do you suppose we landed this time?" Drak wonders.
"Don't know, but it could be just about anywhere. What a day! First I find out my girlfriend is cheating on me, then I get turned into a pre-pubescent brat, and now this! We're lost. Again." You was panting heavily by the time you ran out of steam.
"Get on my back and I'll fly above the trees to get a better view." Drak remarked.
You would think that that would be a good IDEA, but I know you what you might have done Bmao. I know you could have planted that warped page in the portal and purposely caused us to step into this sweltering wilderness. Then what will you do? Shoot us down when we reach the tops? You know I don't trust you! You could have written this story differently. You could have written in the warriors we'd need. Or better yet, make the need a moot point. But no, you just like toying with me. Torturing me!
"Are you quite finished?" Drak snorted.
You didn't feel like answering Drak. Instead you eased atop his spiny back and settled somewhere between his shoulders.
"Climb higher! You're not high enough!"
"If you think you could do better Gil, be my guest." Drak hissed back at him singeing the fine hairs that laced your arms.
The moment the two climbed above the tree-line you knew you were in trouble.
Dragons fought for space on land and in the sky. Now what? They had unfortunately reached Pern.
