Running a hand across Comets glistening white scales, Techno gently climbed onto her back, Comet purring in delight to finally be able to fly with him. Techno had begged his father to let him explore the under-lands. The world below the floating islands the kingdom was restricted to. A place where dragons are scarce and hunters constantly roam the woods, though Techno convinced his father he could handle himself, he knew to never underestimate his opponents though.

With one final check up on his casual robes and Comet's saddle, he flew out of the stables in one swift movement and immediately took to the skies. He let out a content breath, breathing in the fresh open air, finally out of the constricting castle he was cooped up in so often. "This is the life, Comet," Techno muttered, scratching behind the dragons ear, to which the dragon yipped happily at. His tied back hair blew wildly through the wind as he dived past the floating islands and towards the under-lands. The ocean below them stretched on far, but he remembered the time he spotted a boat not too far from the kingdom, so he never once let his guard down.

Comet spun around in circles happily, occasionally splashing water onto Techno to help cheer him up. Much to the dragons delight, it worked. "Alright, enough! we could catch a cold if we get too wet," he fussed, brushing a hand through his bangs with a soft chuckle. Techno froze, eyes widening at the sight of a yellow sandy shore and fresh green grass. "Look! Comet it's a plains biome," He observed, the dragon letting out a soft purr in acknowledgment. "we'll have to be careful here on out..." He whispered, lowering himself up against Comets back as his eyes scanned the surrounding spruce forest. He let out a slow high pitched whistle, telling Comet to fly higher. Comet obliged, eyes darting around at the land below them.

"it's so peaceful, no sign of habitation," he muttered more to himself, but Comet let out a confirming chirp as a response. "We should probably turn back soon-" He was cut off by Comet lurching back, roaring in distress. Techno quickly peaked over Comet's mane, catching sight of a figure in the distance, hiding amongst the more denser part of the spruce forest. "Shit, let's get out of here!" He yelled over the howling of wind. Comet roared again, trying to flee. Her attempt was cut short by a metal net wrapping around her torso, tying Techno to her back tightly. "Comet, Dive!" He ordered, to which she understood, and plummeted with her wings close to her sides. The figure didn't seem to back down, immediately shooting another net that wrapped around the dragons head and tangling around her wings. Techno tried to get himself free, but couldn't quite reach his knife, he felt the tug as the hunter reeled her in harshly. "fuck," he muttered as they hit the ground with a hard thud. This wasn't good.
