The seek of the hidden dragons

Amphiptere 1

The next day I woke up with an ache in my shoulder blades. I smiled thinking of yesterday, I have wings. I can't believe it.

"Guys, could you meet me in the living room in five minutes?" I yell

"Sure" Apollo answeres, followed by Cleo, " Yeah"

I clear my head and roll my shoulders. I hear a cracking sound and feel wind at my feet. I look over my shoulder and see my emerald wings. I take a deep breath and go to the kitchen.

With the first step in sight of Cleo and Apollo, I hear a gasp from Cleo and a chuckle from Apollo.

"Could've seen that coming," Apollo says.

"Wow, that, these. Wings wow just wow." Cleo says

"I tried them out last night, they're very handy but also ache a bit, but I find them beautiful."

"Wanna race in the race course?" Apollo asks

"I'm going to be faster for sure," I say

"Okay, the loser has to pay for the next dinner," Apollo says

"You don't have any money," Cleo says

"You stay out of this, mortal," Apollo says

"Stop saying that, I don't like it," Cleo pouts

"Oh okay, I'll stop," He says

"Really?" Cleo asks surprised

"Haha, nope. You mortals really believe anything," He laughs

Cleo pouts and crosses her arms.

"Don't worry you'll get wings when you graduate from Hogwarts" Apollo adds. I chuckle at the joke.

"That doesn't exist in real life," Cleo says

"Exactly" Apollo jokes.

"Okay, now let's be Sirius for once," I say laughing together with Apollo.

"You're both nerds," Cleo says

"Just because we read all the books of Harry Potter and Game of Thrones and The Lord of the rings and- yeah maybe we are but doesn't mean it's any less fun to joke about it," I say

"You just gave me an idea. Listen, Cleo, I won't call you mortal anymore," Apollo says, while Cleo is nodding, "I'll just call you Gollum" He cackles. Cleo shakes her head and says,

"If you win you can call me mortal, but if Aurelia wins, you need to call me your queen."

Apollo and I start laughing with tears.

"Imagine you calling her queen," I laugh and Apollo laughs with me.

"You know what we'll do it if I win you need to call her queen and if you win you can call her mortal," I add, followed by Apollo saying

"And if I win she needs to call me the Great and Fierce Dragon"

"Hahahaha, deal," I say

We go to the race course and wait by the start sign.

"Okay! Is everyone ready?"

"Aye," Apollo and I say simultaneously

"READY. SET. GO!" Cleo yells and we start flying. I feel the wind through my hair. The adrenaline rushing through my body. The speed is overwhelming. We turn the first corner, Apollo is leading. I'm right behind him. The second corner I am first. We reach the finish line. It looks like I'm about to win but Apollo catches up with me and finishes first.

"Told you so, no one can beat me!" Apollo shouts

I am panting by the sideline.

"That was incredible, no wonder you always want to fly," I say

"You need some rest? Already tired, our big bad Dragonlord is already tired. Who would've thought that?" Apollo's sassiness always annoys me more than anything.

"Hey! You fierce hamster!" I yell at Apollo while flying at him, he turns around, sees me and immediately starts flying the other direction.

"What? Scared of me? I thought you were the fierce Apollo, who's never scared of anything or anyone?" I say while chasing him.

"You know, when you consider it, you might be a little frightening," He says flying away

"Who? Me?" I say

"Okay, okay I give up," He says

"Alright, now I've proven that I am a worthy Dragonlords. We need to continue our journey to Rio," I say, " The next town is just half a days trip, where we'll rent a car and drive to Rio."

"I want to rest first," Apollo says. I nod and chuckle.
