Eulia And The Butterfly Dragon

Chapter 15 Soaring with Dragons

"Mari, Boo why are you here?" Eulia said as their dragons landed behind the barn at Mable's farm.

"Your island home has been discovered, We grabbed the saddles and your saddlebags and left." The butterfly dragons circled with Pinkey landing on Eulia's shoulder.

"So these are butterfly dragons," Mable said as two landed on her shoulder. "They are so beautiful."

"Good thing we put our flight suits and boots in the saddle bags," Phoebe said.

"Looks like we lost our refuge," Agnes said.

"Agnes and Becky can stay here," Mable said, "You may be safer in the Republic."

"Our home is in Beaconsfield," Phoebe said.

"We were planning to travel to Novi next week," Eulia said, "after settling Agnes and Becky back home."

"I'll take care of Becky," Mable said, "I have a plethora of great-grandchildren in the area.She will be safe here and looked after."

"Don't be afraid to leave us,"Agnes said. "You are in the middle of a great war, you are key to that war. You don't need to worry about us. Besides if it starts looking bad we can call on the covens assistance."

"We can fly all of you out," Eulia said.

"Right now I'm running a safe house for the resistance," Mable said, "I'm needed here."

"We lost all the food storage we had accumulated," Eulia said thoughtfully then suddenly looking surprised. "A SAFE HOUSE!, you never mentioned that."

"Well you never mentioned you were dragon riders."

"We're both full of surprises," Eulia said then laughed.

"I want to see you in your uniforms," Mable said. Phoebe and Eulia carried their uniforms into the house and using the room they shared changed into them and returned to the parlor. "You both look simply beautiful," Mable said.

"They are a little different than the west coast dragon rider uniforms," Agnes said.

"I like the black shirt and white vest. And those boots, that has to be a four inch heel," Mable said, "put your jacket on now."

"It's black leather Granny," Eulia said, "and ends just at my waist."

"It fits you both well. I take it those pockets are actually vents."

"Yes they snap closed, without them and the ventilation this jacket would be hot."

"Your shoulder patches are different too."

"Yes we will be the fourth coven," Phoebe said, "each of the covens flight have a different color and shaped patch."

"Keep your uniform on for a while I like the effect."

"Granny I'd like to take Becky and Phoebe into Dexter. They have never seen a real city."

"I take it you enjoyed yourself when I took you there in May."

"Especially the book store."

"We can go in tomorrow, I'll have Wilbur drive."

"We all can fly in," Eulia said smiling brightly.

The next morning the five of them dressed and made ready for their flight. They wore their travel dresses and hooded capes. Rebecca was excited to go and was elated when she was told their trip included visiting a coffee shop that served ice cream. "This is your second day wearing shoes Euly," Agnes teased her.
