Chapter 7
She stared in awe at the scene that played across her view; the moon was so bright; it sent a luminescent reflection to the ground that produced several moons in several places, one she figured was a lake. It showed the moon exactly as it looked in the sky. There were several large puddles that tried to hold the mass of the moon but only half could fit on the earthy canvas. Gliding along she could see hills, but they didn’t look like hills, they looked like an uneven bump on the floor, one you only noticed because it was a shade darker on the other side and in the snow they almost were nonexistent. The trees were invisible in the snow. Unexpectedly interrupting her moment she heard an annoying voice break through her concentration.
“I see you’re still attached, so that's a good thing” a voice came below her, looking down she saw Ben on a scaly creature whose head had turned to look at her.
“Ug” she said looking at them “Yes well, we all can’t be supernatural freaks on wings now can we?” she smirked
“Oh I see we are still touchy, well just to let you know your “high-ass”, we will be flying for about five hours or so, we need to make up some time, I was going to land us in Russia but we need to hit Mongolia as soon as we can.”
“Wow Mongolia, that’s far. Fine just lead the way” she said not wanting to continue talking to him, then her stomach began to rumble, she remembered that that is why she went into the kitchen before she met Lady Pilini.
“Hey any chance you can throw me one of them muffins you snatched from my house, I'm kind of hungry, y’all messed up my midnight snack with all this crap”
“Arg, fine, hang on I’ll do a swoop over you and drop it down, you better catch it.” He said pulling his reins to the side, making his dragon move away from them. Those were some long reins, the dragons head was at least 30 feet from his body and where Ben sat.
Suddenly she saw them gliding back at a very odd angle, he was about 20 feet lower and coming in fast; he had the muffin in his left hand. Yummy she thought I wonder how he's going to get it to me. In a split second Ben and his dragon ducked right under her and Malldhor, whipping around in a high circle like a plane in a barrel roll, and flew only 5 feet above her head. Bailey reached out not sure if that was what she was supposed to do but Ben dropped the muffin and she managed to catch it, just as Ben and the dragon finished their barrel roll; swooping themselves right under her and Malldhor again. Astonishment was chiseled on her face.
Ben and his dragon levelled out on her side, and glided next to them. “That is how you fly, little lady, skill and precision. Even with years of training you and your winged pony will never fly like us. But no worries little girl, at least your still hanging on”
“Hey I don’t laugh at you do I, no!” she said embarrassed, not that she could help for her lack of flight experience.
“You don’t laugh at me because there nothing to laugh at.” He said
“It’s not my fault you’re not funny or even remotely interesting.” She grumbled back
“What, what did you say, Oh Princess I'm sad now. You hurt my feelings” he said flying further away from her.
“Your such a jerk!” She yelled “Don’t talk to me anymore! just show me the damn way and shut up.”
“Are you pmsing? Because that would be some vital need to know information, I don’t want to do anything to make you’re PMS any worse than it already is Princess Cranky Pants.”
“How old are you, you act like your five. No scratch that a five year old has manners you’re just an asshole! I'm tired of listening to you, please leave me alone.” She yelled.
