The Time Of Dragons Has Returned- A Private Continuation

[loyal]

A rider without strength was a powerless rider. And a rider without power and a dragon was a dead rider, in Drake's mind. He swooped down closer, and smirked at Liam. He was still circling, deciding to draw this out and torture this rider before killing him, wanting to have his fun. He was irked that Kalia had slipped away earlier, and was gonna exact his revenge on this one.

He is here... Wolf's eyes widened, and she looked at Kiy, she heard Liam faintly. She jumped up, and onto Kiy's back. Kiy leapt into the air, flapping her wings powerfully. All tiredness and lethargy was forgotten, they were both full of energy now.

They shot over the ground, soon close to where Drake was circling. He'd drawn his sword by now, getting ready to cleverly cover Liam with thin scratches that would burn and bleed, but wouldn't kill... yet. When Wolf and Kiy burst into view, Drake cursed, and threw up a shield, before trying to attack his sister while she was far away, with magic. Kiy blocked him, and bore down on him. She slowed and got closer to the ground, even though this would put her in a vulnerable position to attack, Wolf was gonna get off. She leapt as they neared Liam, and tucked herself into a diving roll on the ground, thus safely landing. Kiy swerved, blasting at Drake with fire, but he dodged nimbly, his wings were smaller, made him quicker.

Wolf crouched next to Liam, and shook his shoulder. "Hey, you awake?" She asked worriedly, checking his pulse.

[Pengu.]

Liam blinked a few times, trying to figure out what had just happened. What that was..he couldnt remember. As if it was erased from his memory and replaced with darkness. Slowly, he nodded, but remained silent for a while. "You have bigger problems than me." Liam murmured silently, closing his eyes and feeling helpless. He moved his hand to the wound on his leg, feeling the makeshift bandage coated with sticky blood. "We need to get away...Now. I wont last much longer without attention, but...all of us need to get away." That much he knew. Feeling helpless made Liam shutter with annoyance. It was not him, and he felt weak compared to everyone else dispite his being older. Not a good feeling. Using his staff, Liam attempted to stand. He was shakey, but managed to get to his feet.

Wolf nodded. She glanced in the direction of Kiy, who was chasing Drake away from them, giving Wolf time to assess the situation with Liam. With a single thought in her dragon's direction, she had Kiy turn and leave the chase, soaring back towards the two riders as fast as she could. Her wings flapped and she covered ground faster than Drake did, she crossed double the distance when flying straight. She didn't have time to stop, so she just slowed, and reached out with her claws. As gently as possible, she engulfed Wolf in one, and Liam in another.

Then Wolf used a tactic much like an octopus. She threw out a large quantity of darkness in Drake's direction, to confuse him and give them time to escape. In the middle of the day, that was all she could do.

Kiy, who was older than the other dragons, could have her mind reach farther. She caught glimmers of thoughts from them, only enough to know the direction they were in, and that they were pretty far away. She turned in that direction, and looked back to see a dot in the distance, Drake was hovering in the same place he'd been in when the cloud of darkness hit him. She smiled, and threw the magical tag he'd placed on her onto a small, fleet animal that happened to be running below her. Now they could go without him knowing.

She stared ahead, and made a silent pact to keep going until they got quite close, she wouldn't allow herself to rest until then.

Drake was confident in his tag that he'd placed on Kiy, and grinned as it kept moving. When it suddenly dove down closer to the ground, and slowed, he figured that Kiy was just hunting. He turned when the dragon turned, and was in fact going the wrong direction from them, he was following a deer-like creature, without knowing it. He dared not get in sight range-he'd wait until they stopped.

(XP Drake is stupid sometimes...)

[Pengu.]

Liam heaved a heavy sigh of relief, squirming ever so slightly in Kiy's grasp. He winced with the sharp pain jolting up his calf and into his thigh, but remained stone faced as he watched the landscape blur beneath the group. Eventually, he turned to Wolf. "Uh...Thanks Wolf. I, guess I would be dead if you hadnt heard me... So..thanks.." he said, sort of reluctantly, as if admitting defeat in himself. "Do you know where the others are? Thorn or Tiral, Kalia? Any of them..."

[loyal]

Wolf shook her head. "It's kinda my fault anyways, I didn't realize that my brother was so..." She trailed off, shaking her head. "I have no idea where the others are, we lost track of them. But Kiy seems to know what direction they're in, she's pretty confident." The girl wished she had healing powers, or at least some kind of pain-lessening power that would help him... but she had no idea how that would come about.

[Pengu.]

Liam nodded. "It is not your fault Wolf, and dont try to blame yourself. I have been there, blaming myself for things for almost my whole life after my parents were killed. For my sister being lost from me. It does no good. Know that, okay? And that it is not your fault for his actions. I was just too stupid, being newer at this dragon rider thing than the rest of you, to try and get away with an injury I cant even fix." Liam chuckled a bit when he finished, a smile coming across his face. He didnt even care, he knew he was being stupid. Couldn't help it. "And thanks to you to Kiy." he added. "Glad you are confident.."

[blue_dun]

((... Hi guys. Sorry about not being on... Some personal problems have come up. And my parents almost completely cut me off from CS. It may be a while before I can get on consistently again...))

[Pengu.]

{MQ!!! -cyber tackles- <3 We missed you so much! Its okay, I understand. I am just happy you didnt forget 'bout us. ^,^

[loyal]

(MQ! Hai. xP. ~Throws cookies in air, gives hugs~ I agree with everything Penguin said.)

Wolf shrugged, and it took her a bit to answer. "I was stupid at first too, tried to go and capture my brother. I thought I could knock some sense into him somehow. How'd you get separated from everyone anyway?" She looked at him quizzically, realizing that Thorn was missing.

Kiy snorted. "I'm confident because we're about to get in range where we should be able to talk to them, like usual. They're still pretty far away, but then we'll be able to have them help us by coming this way instead of just sitting in the same place." She was glad they weren't moving. No matter how fast she went, she'd be tired, and she wouldn't be able to reach them by the time she needed to rest.

(I gotta go soon. :/ )

[Pengu.]

Liam nodded to Kiy, offering a small smile as he squirmed uncomfortably in her grasp. Turning to Wolf, he sighed. "I dont remember, actually. The last think I know, was that Kalia and Tiral had went off after your brother and Con and Tybalt followed. Thorn had said something to me as he we walked from our spot in the woods, and then blackness. I woke up in another part of the woods with a leg injury. Weird, huh..."

{Its okay, I am sort of spacey today..}
