āSeascale has been growing really well!ā Lukas told his father, practically screaming over the roaring wind. Lukasās father chuckled.
āYou expect anything less?ā
The two were on his fatherās dragon, Seascale, soaring in the air. Seascale had dark blue scales tinted green and has a 70 foot wingspan, was 3 stories tall at the shoulder and 60 feet from snout to tail. Dragon Riders were to not take any other sort of transportation if their dragon was fly-ready. They were doing a steady 95 mph. Lukasās dragon Fireworm was in front of Lukas, his back pressed against Lukeās chest. His father was in up front and Lukas was in the back. A dark dot came into sight. The Mansion. They were flying at airplane level, and yet they could still see the roof top. It was when Seascale suddenly turned her head to the side, furled her wings in and dove strait down.
Lukeās father was just as perplexed as Luke was. His, and Firewormās, stomachs seemed to rise up as they were plummeting to the ground. Lukas could see another dragon of a blueish hue, with a rider. Luke wondered if Seascale was going to go territorial on the other dragon. But she knew something was going to go wrong. It was not a moment later that the rider seemed to slip off, completely unaware of the fact that she was falling. Seascale passed the other dragon before it even realized it lost its rider. Luke knew if they continued at the rate they were going, Seascale would crash and most likely not save the girl. But Luke had a plan.
āFather! At five stories pull up! Iāve got an idea!ā Lukeās father was puzzled, but nodded anyway. Luke could land a ten story drop without breaking anything, but the odds were he would hurt his leg or his ankle. Luke looked at Fireworm. āGrab her shirt collar and slow her decent. I know you wonāt be able to carry her. Iāll just need some extra time. Do not let go until I give you the signal.ā Fireworm nodded as well and leapt off of Seascale, strait at the falling girl. Luke watched as his little dragon latched onto the back of her shirt collar and flapped with all of his might. Luke looked down as Seascale opened her wings to stop from hitting the quickly rising earth. Lukas swung his leg over and leapt off the dragon and fell five stories to the ground.
He landed on his feet with his knees bent with a thud as a jolt of pain coursed up his ankle. Luke clenched his jaw and leapt to stand back up. He immediately sprinted to where Fireworm was trying to hold the girl. Luke could see his little dragonās strength diminishing. āFireworm! Release!ā Luke shouted. Fireworm opened his fanged mouth and the girl began to drop again. Right into Lukasās arms. Luke had to bend his back to make sure he didnāt drop the girl. He straightened back up, with a slight smirk. āGood evening, Miss. Mind if I drop in to crash your party?ā Luke joked. He let her back down to her feet. Fireworm then dive bombed onto Luke, making him topple backwards.
āI did it! I did what you told me to! I didnāt let go!ā Fireworm cried happily as he began hopping around Luke in a circle. The black and red dragon licked his face and Luke let out a chuckle as he sat up.
āYes, you did do it. Iām proud.ā Luke scooped up his squirming dragon and stood back up, facing the girl who had momentarily been falling to her death. āAre you alright?ā Luke asked, making sure to keep most of his weight off of his ankle, which was painfully numb. Luke looked up to see his father waving and Seascale let out a triumphant roar as she darted off into the other direction. The two faded into a distance. āPerhaps we should go inside?ā He said letting Fireworm drop back onto the ground as Luke began walking to the mansion, a slight limp prominent in his walk.
