Final Day Free

I tie my sleeping bag to the top of the saddle on Lucien. I put some food in the pouches and a small dagger just in case. I walk over to my parents "well this it." I say as I watch their faces. My mother pulls me into a tight hug weeping. I return the hug and then hug my father. "Maybe I can come and visit" I say hope sounding in my voice. My mother wipes her tears "if you can you better" she says. I smile and hug them once more. I walk to Lucien wiping my eyes. "Don't worry you will see them again." He says in a comforting voice. I nod and mount him he stands. I look over my parents and see Ed in the doorway. I wave at him but he walks back into the house. I sigh and nod to Lucien. With one last goodbye we take off into the air. The air smelled fresh and clean. The setting sun casted a beautiful pink light against the clouds.

We fly for what seems like hours. "I'm sooo bored" I whine. "Well I'm sorry at least your not carrying a hundred pound person on your back." Lucien says frustration hinted in his voice. "Is that a fat joke?" I ask. "Maybe it is and maybe it isn't" he says. I roll my eyes as unclip my strap. I stand and balance on Lucien's back. I walk to the back of his wings and sit sideways on his back. "I have an idea. Why don't you launch me over there and you quickly come and catch me." I say in excitement. "Oh I see this is how you spend your time. Life threatening and scary." He says huffing. "Downer Debbie" I mumble. I balance my way back to the saddle and sit down. I reach in the pack and pull out an apple. I bite into it and close my eyes as the sweet juices enter my mouth. "You want something to eat?" I ask Lucien. He nods and I reach in the bag. I grab an apple and crawl up to his face "here" I say holding the apple. He opens his mouth and I rise the apple in after a few minutes of crouching it was silent again. The sun started falling and night laid around us. We stopped on a cliff that was safe and set camp. I uncurled my sleeping bag and laid against Lucien. "Hey Lu do you think we are going to die." I ask tears pricking at my eyes. "No I wouldn't let that happen" he says comfortingly. I smile and then drift to sleep.

We fly for a few more hours when a huge blue dragon comes in front of us. I grip onto the saddle tightly and holds on for dear life. The blue dragon roars attacks us. Before we were ordered to come to the military I taught myself how to fight on dragons. The blue dragon flys at us and Rams into Lucien. I swiftly grab my small dagger and pull it out of its sheath. I unstrapped myself and jumped across the two dragons and leaped at the other dragon rider. The person had a suit of armor on so I couldn't see if it was a girl or a boy. I leap across and hit the rider off of the dragons. We start falling and the rider punches me hard in the face. We get separated and I look up at Lucien. "You idiot!!" Lucien yells through our mind link. He scratched the blue dragons face and dives down towards me. He reaches me and grabs onto me. I climb up his side and strap myself to the saddle. We burst through the air to get far away from the blue dragon and its rider. "What was that all about?" I ask. I look behind us my eyes widen as the blue dragon and its rider comes closer at a speed like never before. "Lucien go faster its following us." I scream. I turn around and see the rider point a bow and arrow at us. "Go down"I yell. Lucien dives down through the air. I look up and see them follow. Lucien growls "enough!" He turns around and hits the blue dragon with all his force. I scream and hold on for dear life. The blue dragon grabs Lucien by the throat and flys downward towards the ground. We hit the ground with a huge thud. Before we hit Lucien grabbed me and tucked me into his body. I came out from under his wings and unsheathe my dagger. I stand in the attack stance and wait for the rider to come to me. "Put the dagger down and tell me your name" the rider spoke. It had a female voice so I'm guessing it's a female. I don't move as she walks closer. "I will kill your dragon if you don't put your dagger down" she says. I drop my dagger and glare at her. She takes her helmet off. She had black hair and brown eyes. She walked closer to me "I'm Ansel the patrol rider may I ask what you are doing here?" She raises and eyebrow. "I was summoned to report to duty." I say. She takes out a note book out of a pouch she carried. "What's your name?" She asks. "It's Nesryn" I say as I glance at the two dragons. The blue one was still holding on to Lucien which made me nervous. "And this green beast is yours?" She asks. "Yes that's why I was summoned" I say. She nods and snaps her fingers. The blue dragon steps off of Lucien. "I apologize for my behavior" the blue dragon says. "Next time just say something like hey stop instead of a attacking us." Lucien growls. I walk over to him and climb on top of him. "We can show you to the camp if you would like." Ansel says. "Ok thanks" I say nodding. She jumps on her dragon and they head off into the sky. Lucien follows still growling quietly. We arrive in a wood with huge trees. Lucien dodges and glides through the trees being careful not to hit branches. I keep my body close to his to make sure that I don't get hit by a branch. We fly for a while and finally arrive to a camp. People were walking around with armor and swords tied to their sides. There were houses in the trees and bridges that connected to the houses. The air smelled of smoke from camp fires and the sound of people laughing and talking. We follow Ansel to a huge hole in a mountain she goes in and Lucien follows. Inside smelled of Lucien when he didn't take a bath for a year. There were dragons perched on ledges and lazily sleeping on each other. There were people in there either cleaning up dragon mess or saddling their dragons. We land on a ledge with few dragons. Some of them hiss at our arrival but non of them attack. "Don't mind them they don't trust newcomers." Ansel says winking at me. I smile and nod. I dismount Lucien and walk over to where Ansel was standing. "Did you bring the scroll that summoned you?" She asks. "Um yeah" I say pulling the scroll out. "Ok well you are going to need it for the boss" she says pulling a sack off her dragon. "I'll take you to him." She says walking towards the exit of the cave. I look at Lucien who started to follow. "Maybe you should stay here with her." I say pointing at the blue dragon. Lucien growls in outrage. "I'll be fast" I say as I run to catch up with Ansel. We walk up a rope bridge and through a tunnel. We then exit the cave and enter the forest. We walk on the rope bridge for a while and on my right was a crater with high walls. I look down and see small baby dragons of all colors running around playing with each other. "That's the dragon nursery" Ansel says as we walk by. We continue up the bridge and get to a huge house. We go in and walk to a door. Ansel knocks and waits "enter" a male voice says from the other side. Ansel opens the door and beckons me to follow.

We go inside and see a man about mid twenties sit in a chair with a pile of paperwork on his desk. "We have a newcomer that was summoned yesterday" Ansel says. He looks up at me and smiles. His smile was charming and his blue eyes seemed to sparkle. "Well welcome our first newcomer in three years" he says as he holds his hand out. I shake his hand and take a step back. "Ansel you are going to be in charge of her, show her around, make sure she knows and follows the rules all that jazz." He says. "But Roland I have a lot of work to do with patrolling the border." She whines. "Then take her with you." He says raising his eyebrows. "Remember when Ember took you in. She didn't like you are first but then you became like a daughter to her." He says calmly. "But we are almost the same age" Ansel says. "That is not my problem" Roland said standing "now I have given orders now you follow them." He says waving his hand as a dismissal.  Ansel sighs and walks out. I follow still unsure about what to do. We walk down a bridge and into the heart of all the busy workers. We walk into a shop that smelled of food. "Hey Chopper I have a present for you" Ansel yells. "A present, for me, by golly I'm a lucky man" an old pirate voice says from the back. I look around the corner and see an old man with a peg leg and one eye. "How is this a present?" He says pointing a spatula at me. "I'm giving her to you until I get back from doing a certain job." Ansel says as she tightens a strap on her chest. " or do you mean going to see a certain boy." Chopper says winking at her. Ansel pulls a dagger out of her belt. "Speak a word about this an you'll be cleaning dragon dung for the rest of your life." She says pointing her knife at me. I nod my eyes widen as the blade gets closer to my neck.
