Calder struggled to hold in a startled cry as Fourstone started
thrashing around wildly. The large dragon pushed itself out of the
water, the large force created by the dragons wings pushing Calder
down some more. Freed from the weight of his dragon, the dragon
rider swam up and instantly gasped for air. Once he felt more
stable he paddled over to his dragon who had hauled itself onto a
sandbar before collapsing once more. Calder's feet touched the
ground, his knees still submerged in the water and he collapsed
onto his dragon, exhausted. They were still a few miles out from
the Thorn Needles island, and he groaned in frustration. Fourstone,
sensing his rider's discomfort wrapped a wing around Calder and
pulled him in, where they both laid for a while. The venom from the
Deathgripper was still in the Stormcutter's system, so they
couldn't risk flying back to the island until Fourstone was fully
recovered. "Looks like we're gonna be here for a bit longer..."
Calder said with a sigh, leaning into his dragon as the waves
lapped against him.
Shin sighed as his lesson was completed, and he walked out the
door, making room for Jellyfish to dash out. The Scuttleclaw crowd
happily as it ran around his yard. Shin held in a small laugh
before walking out to walk around the Night Rider island.
Amari was hiding behind a building, snickering to herself as Ice
chased around a Shepard's sheep. The large Woolly Howl crowed in
triumph as it scattered all the sheep, leaving them with shocked
looks.
