Catch A Ride?
You decide that you've seen enough of Tiamat and wonder if one of the riders would be able to give you a ride to someplace else. You frown slightly, they all seem so busy.
Excuse me...but...did you want a ride?
You jump, startled, where had that voice come from. You look around and notice a Green dragon look at you, her head cocked to one side.
Yes...That was me.
You blink, getting closer. She's very big compared to you...even if Greens are supposed to be the smallest.
You did want a ride...didn't you? I could have sworn it was you...You think awful loud you know...
You stutter a "Yes", still not believing that a dragon is actually talking to YOU.
Well then...I'll just get my rider. We'll take you anywhere you want to go.
The Green's eyes whirl a happy blue-green slowly and she seems to almost smile at you. But...dragon's can't smile...can they?
"Why hello again! Nyhiemoth tells me that you need a ride."
You turn away from the dragon to see Gerina walking towards you. Glancing back at Nyhiemoth, you wonder how you could have known that it was a dragon you'd already met. They all seem to look the same...
Gerina smiles at you as you nod an affirmative about wanting a ride. She hands you a riding jacket and tells you to put it on.
"/Between/ is VERY cold. Ever ridden a-dragonback before?" You shake your head "no". "Well then...Ny and I are glad to have the honor of taking you on your first trip...aren't we Ny?" She beams up at her dragon.
I've never been first at doing something...This should be fun.
Her eyes whirl a little faster, she seems to be getting excited.
I will be very careful with you since you have never gone /between/ before.
She adds to both you and her rider, who grins at you.
"She takes transport very seriously. I think she likes taking people places more than she likes fighting Thread." Gerina laughs her dragon's disgreeing snort. "Come on, I'll help you up."
You follow Gerina around to the side of her dragon and watch as she climbs up effortlessly. She turns and looks down at you, then holds out a hand. Nyhiemoth thoughtfully holds up her foreleg to help you mount. You settle on the Green's back, attatch the safety straps, then wait for take-off...which is smoother than you expected. Well, Nyhiemoth had said she'd be careful with you.
"Ready?"
Ready?
Both rider and dragon as you at the same time. When you nervously tell them "Yes", you barely hear Gerina tell her dragon to...
