DRAGONS!! XD Good thing Riure can’t see them; Sadiq is going to be enough trouble. 😛 And yeah, I’m starting to really wish I could hug her too… *sigh* BTW, the (figuratively) part seemed like it came straight from Wingiby’s comedy chamber. 😛 Well done!

Sadiq barked loudly, lunging to the side as something shook the ground, dragging Riure with her. Scales brushed against her arm as Riure fell to the ground, then wingbeats tossed her hair every which way as something colossal rose into the air on what seemed to be large wings.

Dragon. Riure had heard of them – plenty of legends of the mythical creatures existed in the Outer Realms – but she’d never actually seen one. Well, she’d never really seen much of anything since the disease took her sight. But still.

“It’s alright, everyone. That’s still Rilyn.” It was Konyar’s voice. Sadiq hauled Riure to her feet and trotted over to a tree, hunkering between the roots as Konyar continued. “We’re just dragons. We can turn into human form.” Riure ignored her dog’s persistent tugs, deciding rather to stand with one hand on the trunk of the tree, head cocked, listening and feeling for all her might. The air flowed in eddying currents around her, indicating something big straining to stay in the air. Gasps and whimpers ruffled through the gathered people, and the warm glow seemed closer than ever. “See?” Konyar said, and Riure stifled a snort. This was no time for laughter.

Sadiq barked once, sharply enough to bring Riure’s attention to her. “What’s wrong, girl?” Riure asked, kneeling by her dog and taking Sadiq’s pointed head in her hands. She could feel Sadiq’s teeth; she was growling. “Is it the dragon? I mean, dragons?”

Something brushed against her hair and a small hand landed on her shoulder. It must be the little person who’d helped her. Sadiq’s growl seemed directed in his direction. “Easy, Sadiq. Quiet,” Riure ordered. Reluctantly, Sadiq complied. Riure’s foot bumped against something, and she realized it was probably Ehud, obediently doing as Rosario had told him. Whether or not he was still asleep, she couldn’t tell.

She turned in the estimated direction of Little Person, flashing her easy smile. “Hey, can you tell me what’s going on?”
