Ailith set Dawn's spines at the multiple ships. "Have you ever seen these guys before, Austa?" The brunette yells as she tries to identify the tribal crest.

"Yes, But they've never hunted this close to the archipelago!" Austa exclaims, making Ailith slowly turn her head to the blonde.

"This close to the archipelago? You mean to tell me, that this island isn't in the archipelago? That Astra and I left the archipelago? That..." Ailith goes on with a shocked expression.

"Yes, Ailith you left the archipelago! Can we focus at the task at hand? Gods!" Austa snaps before Spark manoeuvres a chain without being told which comes as a surprise to Austa...sending her from the Razorwhip's back.

"Austa!" Ailith yells as she dives after her. Astra from the cave hears Ailith's cry and runs to the edge of the cliff, staring as Austa falls to her for sure death if she's not saved.

From within the cave, Astra's head lifts up, she stands and runs to the edge of the cliff outside their cave. She gasps as she sees Austa fall to her death, Ailith miles away from her. There's no way she'd save her, which makes her scream.

This scream got the attention of a man on the, He turned his back and stared looked up at the mountain, but falling Austa passed his vision and he ran to the edge of the boat, he kicked himself off the ledge and caught Austa in his arms then tumbled on the ground on the island, landing firmly on his knees.

Austa didn't pass out or nothing, she was in perfect condition. She looked over her body and sighed in pure relief before looking at the man who holds her in his arms. "Thanks." She said like this guy bought her ice cream, not that he just saved her life.

The man places her down then stands upright, he doesn't answer he just walks on around Austa. Then Spark lands before him with a growl. Ryker growled back and pulled his sword out from his back sheath. Austa ran to his left side and pushed her shoulders into his chest, shoving him back before she ran to Spark.

"A bit late, don't ya think?" Austa asks sarcastically before laughing slightly. The man gathered himself up and realised who he just saved.

"A dragon rider? Ugh! I should've let you fallen to your death!" He spits, gaining Austa's attention.

"But ya didn't, and thank you again, dragon hunter!" She spits while mounting Spark then taking off up next to Ailith and Dawn.

"I almost had confidence he could change." Ailith says sarcastically.

"Shut up you!" Austa says with a chuckle before the two sharp class riders dive back into the action.

Ryker climbs back onto the ship, his fists clenched and his eyes narrowed and teeth grinned in his mouth. "Focus fire on that Razorwhip!" He orders firmly.
