Dragonia: Rise of the Wyverns – Chapter 43

Paedyn laughed as his wyvern twisted and turned in the sky, spinning the two of them in circles. They wedged between two dragons, circled around, and blew fire on their flanks.

“And to think, I always asked my parents for a boat.”

The wyvern dove downward, avoiding dragonsfire that rained down upon them. Paedyn held on tight as the wyvern leaned to the right. They circled back around, hiding behind the dragons’ rear once more.

“Peek-a-boo!” Paedyn yelled. “Hit them with fire again.”

His wyvern complied; its mouth opened wide, and a flame of deep red spiraled toward the back of each dragon’s head in turn.

The dragons snarled and attempted to turn themselves to face their foe, but Paedyn patted the neck of his wyvern, and they flew upward to fly back around to the dragons’ other side.

“Fire!” Paedyn yelled

The wyvern grumbled, but complied. They’d repeated the same steps a few dozen times. It didn’t seem to faze Paedyn. His grin never faltered.

“You know,” Paedyn said, “my mother told me that I got distracted too easily … can you believe that? My friends’ mothers told me I was a distraction for their sons. My whole life … I have been told I’m nothing but a distraction.” Paedyn frowned for only an instant, then his smile returned in full force.

He shrugged. “As it turns out … it’s what I’m good at.”

The wyvern blew fire again as they prepared to make another pass. Once they were clear of the dragons, it twisted its neck to look back at Paedyn, a touch of sadness leaking through their bond.

“Do not be sad for me, dear Pyro. Look at the advantage our distraction is giving the others.”

The two of them circled around the dragons and looped a few times until they were gliding above the battle scene. Both caught their breath for a moment as they watched the battle. The dragons they had been tormenting were all out of sorts, constantly checking behind them as wyvernriders fought against them. While the dragons were distracted, one of the green wyverns blew acid at one of the beasts. It burned the rider, and he appeared in so much pain that he leapt from the back of the dragon. The dragon escaped most of the acid, but its wing had been damaged and it began spiraling toward the ground, flapping its one good wing to try and cushion its abrupt landing.

Pyro snorted. Paedyn grinned.

“See … I told you. Just because we’re not hurting the dragons doesn’t mean we aren’t being useful.”

Pyro’s head dipped in acknowledgment.

Paedyn’s eyes bulged as he saw dragonsfire consume a blue wyvern and its rider. Both fell to the ground, lifeless. Paedyn clenched his teeth.

He withdrew a green vial from his sash and tossed it up in the air an inch before catching it. “I found our next target, Pyro. Let’s get your flame on.”

Pyro roared before diving toward the dragon.
