I could barely breathe. My back stiffened as I heard the horrible, rasping voice. I closed my eyes. A clattering sound came from nearby.
"Saphira! Answer me!" roared the voice. I knew instantly that it was a dragon.
"You never were a good mate, Rydon," hissed Saphira. "Leave. Our egg is bound to a master now." I slowly opened my eyes and the small dragon on my arm chirped quietly. A massive, blood red dragon snarled at Saphira.
"I will not forget this, Saphira," he growled. "Ashphodel will hear of this!" My heart quickened as he turned to me.
"Human boy," he snarled. "You will pay for stealing my Stonerod." I gave him a cool, defiant smile.
"You don't bother me," I replied. "Besides, Stonerod is mine now." The dragon huffed at me angrily.
"You won't get away with this," he cried before he launched himself into the air, flying away on the winds.
One more chapter. It's hard to believe. My first completed watty book will be this one.
