Snippet #1607845

After a few moments Elizabeth opened her eyes. Her Dragon was still hovering over her, she ached terribly. Groaning, Elizabeth pulled herself into a seated position, glancing around. The Dragon Rider had disappeared, that or she could no longer see him. Was he ever there.

"Liza? Liza! Oh you're okay!" Ayzik chirped, pacing back and forth, blubbering apologize.
"Ayzik, it's fine. I'm fine." Elizabeth muttered, touching his snout.

He nodded and helped her to her feet. She wobbled for a moment, but then found her balance again. Without a word she climbed onto Ayzik's back, and he toke off towards home. By the time she landed on her door step she felt steady again, normal if it weren't for the pain in her legs and shoulders. Stiffly, she climbed off of the Dragon's back and just stood in one place, breathing. She tried to force the pain out of her body, and it did lessen.

She slipped into the house, Ayzik following. They had installed double doors on almost all of the rooms except the bathrooms and bedrooms, excluding Elizabeth's of course. Once in the kitchen she poured herself a cup of black coffee, then pulled a raw steak from the refrigeration and fed it to Ayzik. She then sat down at the table and sipped her coffee, starting to relax a little.

Elizabeth wasn't happy about getting hurt - she might not fight for a day to recover - but she wasn't terribly bothered by it. She would heal, no big deal.

"Elizabeth, you're bleeding on my floor, go clean up!" A shrill voice pierced the otherwise silent room. Elizabeth groaned.
"Yes, mother." She muttered, then left her coffee and headed for the shower, Dragon following closely behind.
