    Thank you Brendin for saving Mayra you lifesaver XD I was getting worried that she would be crushed! Looks like she will be getting a dragon ride after all lol. This is actualy great, its hinting at whats to come for her in my WIP 🙂

     

    Mayra was being juggled about as if she was in a car going over a very bumpy road with potholes all over it. She groaned, her mouth still tasting of iron. What was going on? Did she just – <i>faint</i>?

    Shame rolled up into her face, heat rising as she struggles to regain her vision.

    Someone was holding her by the waist, keeping her steady as whatever thing they were riding on moved roughly. She slid sideways several times, her legs useless as jelly. She took deep breaths, counting in her head as she did so.

    The man holding her was speaking to her. Saying things like you’re gonna be okay and don’t panic.

    That was when Mayra realised that the thing they were sitting was warm. And scaly. And had spikes running up its spine.

    Slowly as her senses returned, it dawned on her. She was on the dragon. She – was on – the <i>dragon</i>.

    She didn’t scream. She couldn’t. That would show signs of weakness.

    The man holding her was saying that she was going to be safe. Nothing was going to happen blah blah blah.

    Her head was spinning violently. In her daze she began to mutter to herself. “My name is Mayra and I will not fear. My name is Mayra and I will not fear.”

    It was only after a few minutes that she realised that she had spoken her name out loud. And the man holding her could hear it.

    She swore under her breath, inwardly kicking herself.
