Return Flight
It was the day after Autumn had fixed Eclipse's wing and Runa was lying in a patch of sun amongst the tall grass next to Autumn. Suddenly Firefly ran over and bounced on top of Runa. "Firefly, hey girl. Nice to see you again" Runa said as she scratched Firefly's scales. Firefly purred and rubbed her head against Runa. "Hey girl" Autumn smiled. Suddenly there was a loud screech from behind them all. Runa turned around and saw a bronze Razorwhip with two grey ones behind her. Firefly grunted something and the bronze Razorwhip grunted back. Then a grey Razorwhip flew away and Firefly jumped forward.
In a matter of seconds a hole pack of Razorwhip's came racing through the sky and landed in the meadow. A large silver Razorwhip joined the bronze one at the front, followed by a small silver one and Eclipse. The Razorwhips then proceeded to start growling, grunted and snarling at each other, this included Firefly. "What's going on?" Autumn whispered. "The pack found us and Firefly. They aren't going to be happy with her. They will probably cast her out and us too..." Runa whispered back. Then Eclipse went and stood next to Firefly and so did the small silver Razorwhip. The other dragons continued to growl and grunt. Then RainbowFlash looked at Runa and Autumn, then back at the Razorwhip pack in front of her. "They're making her choose, it's them or us" Runa whispered. Firefly stepped forward and snapped at the pack then she turned and seemed to talk to the two friends by her side. Then the bronze and large silver Razorwhip came over and hissed at her. "She choose us, they're casting her away!" Runa said to Autumn. "Whoa, that's one loyal dragon you've got there!" Autumn exclaimed.
Firefly turned to Runa and softly grunted something then gestured to her back with her head. Runa smiled, she knew what her dragon wanted her to do so she climbed up onto Firefly's back. Then she held out a hand and helped Autumn on. Runa held on tight as Firefly leapt into the air and started to fly away. Firefly chirped something to the pack of Razorwhips behind her then flew away from Shredstone Walls. Firefly flew over the ocean with great ease while Runa held on. "Okay girl, let's go to Golden Heart, that's my village" Runa told her dragon. Firefly swung her neck about then looked up at Runa. "I think she wants you to steer her" Autumn called from behind. "I think you're right..." Runa said. She slid down into the lower part of Firefly's neck and sat there. Then she put her hands in front of her and held onto the scales there. This way she could move the head whichever way she wanted and that's where Firefly would go. They flew over the ocean for a long time until they finally reached Golden Heart.
Runa landed Firefly by the arena and slid off her neck then helped Autumn down. "This way" Runa said as she ran toward the Great Hall. She reached the hall and knocked on the huge wooden door. The door opened and Runa saw her chief. "Runa, welcome back! And who's your friend, er, friends. Come inside and tell me everything" Silvia said as she spotted Autumn and Firefly. "Thanks Silvia" Runa said as she entered the Great Hall. They went over to a table where a boy and girl were sitting. "So Runa has returned and she brought back a couple of friends" Silvia said as she sat down and gestured for Runa and Autumn to do the same. "Hello, I'm Ruby, Silvia's sister. And this is FireStorm, my Triple Strike" Ruby said as she patted her black and red dragon. "I'm Luca and this is my Thunderdrum, WaveCrusher" Luca said as he pointed to his blue dragon. "I'm Silvia, the chief and this is my Razorwhip, SilverShadow" Silvia said as she pointed to her silver dragon. "Nice to meet you all, I'm Autumn" Autumn said. "And I'd like to introduce my rainbow Razorwhip, Firefly!" Runa said with a smile as she pointed to her dragon. All three dragons lifted their heads when Runa finished her sentence and went over to see Firefly. "So tell us everything" Silvia said as she passed Autumn a plate of chicken and vegetables. Runa grinned and started telling the whole story.
