The Moon's Light ➶ Rise of the Brave Tangled Frozen Dragons [ON HOLD!!]

Chapter 15

"Okay, Medusa. Are you a fast flyer?" I ask, my voice hinting the amount of anxiety I had built up inside.

As a reply, she growls at me as if I had insulted her ancestors.

I slowly take a step back, trying to keep my distance from her in case she decided to bite my face off. "Well, if you're so fast, let me see how you really can go."

She nods, accepting my challenge. With that, she spreads out her long, scaly midnight colored wings. As far as length goes, both of her wings together were nearly three times her size. When I'm next to the twenty-five foot dragon, I'm practically a mouse; she could easily overpower me without hesitation. Once she was able to adjust, Medusa immediately soars into the air. Luckily, the arena was large enough to accommodate a dragon's need to fly.

She flew around the air numerous times and in such an amazing speed that from my perspective it was almost impossible for me to keep up. All I was able to see was a big, black blob hovering in the sky. I suppose I should never test the speed of a Nightfury.

Before I could even focus my eyes on the being, Medusa swiftly, but gracefully, lands on the stone floor. Even from the intense flying, the Nightfury didn't even break a single sweat on her venture. While I, on the other hand, tried to steady myself; trying to spot a Nightfury in mid-air wasn't an easy task. I got dizzy after three seconds from trying to spot her as she took a few laps around the arena. But, I bet she meant to go in circles just to make me sick.

"Well, you are certainly, Medusa. I'll give you that. Much faster than Toothless is." I was finally able to regain my balance then turn to look her in the eyes. "Then, I suppose I should learn how to rise you."

She growls, showing me her sharp teeth. She wasn't to kid around; she was ready to maul me.

"Look, I get it that you don't like me, but what else are me suppose to do. Pitch is expecting us to work together, and as much as we both hate it, we have to learn to suck it up and train together."

She sighs and a puff of smoke escapes her nostrils; then, she relaxes her tense muscles. At least, she was toning it down a bit.

I take this opportunity to walk up to the ferocious dragon. Then once I near her, I saddle myself on top of her bare back. I try to get myself in a good position since there was a lack of a proper saddle on my tush.

"Okay, now why don't we take this nice and sl- Ahhh!!!" I scream just as Medusa flies off into the air, unexpectedly. I grasp onto the Nightfury's neck for dear life, fearing that I may fall onto the stone ground. As the dragon zips through the air, she continues to do sharp turns and daring flips while I strap onto her. Just when I thought I was in the clear, she makes an unsuspecting twirl, and I lose my handle on her. Once my hands completely slip from the dragon, I plunge towards the cold, stone floor. I scream in response, and since I was caught off guard, I could not bring myself to use my powers when I needed them most. Just before I was about to crash onto the ground, I land right onto Medusa's back once more.

I let out another scream try to relieve my stress. "Medusa, enough!! I get it! You don't want me to ride you; just land already!!" I shout into the dragon's ear.

Obeying my command, Medusa abruptly comes to a rough landing, causing me to jerk forward and land on my bum against the stone floor, which did not feel comfortable. Medusa merely laughs by doing a rhythmic grunt.

On any other day, I would've lied on the floor and writhe in pain, but I was too fueled with anger to even think about it. My face burn bright red, in embarrassment, and I turn to face to dragon.
