Suddenly from below the cliff, the red dragon, Formeathan,
flew up before the two on the cliff. The black dragon roared at the
sight of her brother, and he too roared in return.
"Blasted mortal!" Tel'Karak Zrahl cursed Garalt, jumping
into the air and flying away.
"Enjoy the day while you can, sister!" Formeathan called
out.
"She's getting away!" Garalt called up to the red dragon.
"Come, Garalt, we will follow her," the red dragon answered,
quickly scooping up the knight in his paw. Garalt was so surprised
by the huge fingers wrapping themselves around him and lifting him off the
ground that he dropped his shield.
"No time to go back for it now," Garalt said to himself.
"Hang on, I've never chased my sister with someone with
me before, so I don't know how humans will react to this type of battle."
"I'm ready for anything great Formeathan."
"We shall see," the red dragon smiled, flapping his
wings faster to catch up to his sister. Quickly he lifted Garalt upon
his neck, who quickly hung on to the dragon's flesh.
The two dragons darted and weaved around
the mountains of Ikros, chasing each other at blinding speeds. The
black dragon went into a dive, and then quickly banked to the right and rose
up back into the sky. Formeathan matched her move by move, but was
able to pull up faster than his sister. Garalt had never seen even
birds make some of the moves that the red dragon was making. Garalt
could feel his body become so heavy he could not lift his own arms while
the dragon pulled up from his dive. As the two dragons chased each
other, they gave off random growls and grunts, filling the countryside with
a chorus of terror. Garalt knew that whatever the two armies below
the cliff where he once stood were going to do that day, their plans had
just changed. Garalt could imagine his King and Daravon watching the
two dragons dueling in the sky above them, never realizing their own knight
was involved.
