A/n Okay. I'd like to say this is my first awkward romance/crushing scene, so please be understanding if it makes zero sense.
SuperSaberCat out!
APOLLO POV.
I grab the reins, and let Pandora glide along the trees.
The castle comes closer and closer, and I signal Pandora to go up.
I feel her go up, and Libby grabs the spine in front of her.
This is so awkward.
She's in front of me, causing me to have to reach around her for the reins.
I steer left.
Libby clutches the spike, terrified.
I whisper, "You sure you're okay? You can get back on Loki if you want to."
She screams, quietly, "No!"
I sit back, shocked.
She doesn't want her dragon?
Arthur flys up beside us, his wings glimmering.
He whispers to me, "I see you have a nice bond with your lady friend."
I feel the embarrassing heat creep up into my face.
No! That isn't... No! ARRRGGG!
I glare at Arthur, who is heading down to the castles' front gate.
A black tattoo suddenly appears on Libbys' arm, and Pandora warbles saddly.
Awe, bud!
I reach down, and stroke her.
She whispers, clarifing my understanding of the situation, "Loki broke the Drago Pact. He may need to go to court over it. The pact states that a dragon shall not throw off thier rider. Our bond is so strong that our powers make it impossible for you to fall... unless you were intending to."
I nod.
Libby is shaking, so I ask, "What's wrong?"
She keeps shaking.
I realize that I'm chilling the air, and stop the flow of power.
Libby warms up, and stops shaking.
I bump Pandora, and we go down after Arthur.
Libby asks, terrified, "How do you stay on?"
I whisper, in a secretive low voice, "My powers hold me on, no matter what happens. I suspect you and Loki can easily build that back up."
Suddenly, she's sobbing.
I panic, and try to calm her down.
I ask Pandora privately, "What is going on? I didn't think mentioning him would cause a complete meltdown."
Pandora sighs, "Most male humans do nit hsve such compassion for their ma..."
I growl, embarrassed again, "She is not my girlfriend!"
Pandora grumbles, "Ssssuuurrreee."
I growl. She warbles in triumph.
She continues, "When the dragon breaks the pact, it scars a rider until the dragon is brought to justice. If they never go to court, the rider is forever scarred of the dragon. They also will unbond after 3 weeks, so Loki better hurry up to court! If he unbonds her, it automatically un-mates us. But it doesn't hurt my feelings."
A grunt comes from in front of me.
I look forward, and sigh in defeat.
She feel asleep, leaning forward.
She's restricting my reins, so I try to wake her up.
She grumbles, "No. No five more minutes. No! Let me sleep, Luke! Now!"
I whisper, "Libby, wake up."
She shoots awake, and slaps me right in the face.
I shoot back, nearly leaping out of the saddle.
Pandora makes her own judgements while I try to put an end to my red hand print on my face.
We land, and the mark is faded.
I lift my arm back, and tap Pandora on her neck.
She crouches, and Libby slides off.
I slide off, quietly landing on the mossy ground.
A man in expensive robes rushes to me, waving his gloved hands like a mad man.
I feel my body take wolf form, but then I stay human. Phew.
The man cries, "Apollo Farthing! I saw what you did! I did! Why, I've never seen a rider risk his life for his girlfrie..."
I choke on my invisble drink.
Libby turns red, shaking from an emotional overload.
I whisper, "She... We... I don't think..."
Libby begins to cry.
I growl, a stranger invading me, "Look what you did!"
I calm her down, and realize what his looks like.
Oh $&&&.
I feel heat creeping into my face, and I hear Pandora laughing.
Arthur seems to understand my confusion, and whispers to the rich looking man.
The rich man bows, and I bow back.
He announces, "I'm King Herndon. I rule over the Fays. I heard you wish for answers, which I have plenty of."
