Feeling the thrill of flight overtake the dragon's instincts, Kaida quickly grabbed her hat, which nearly flew off during take off.
Nightmare, instead of moving directly forward, shot towards the skies ever higher, even into the clouds.
The suddenly very dark, very thick storm clouds.
Had they been there before?
Kaida didn't seem afraid in the least. Her flying turned more steady, so they could move around even at the speed they were going. She spoke to the fox over the roaring wind.
"Don't blink, or you'll miss it!"
Lightning webbed silently through the clouds around them as they powered through, the air brimming with energy. The fog inhibited their vision, but static seemed to course visibly through the Dragon as the scales began to shift.
And then suddenly, the air was clear. The moonlight hit the top of the clouds like a cotton landscape as her wings lifted them gently across it.
Except... Her wings were bigger. Much bigger.
For a split second, Nightmare seemed almost the size of a small island, her eyes as big as the cabin in which they stayed.
Kaida lifted her paws as if she were on a roller coaster and screamed in excitement as the their reptillian friend dipped back down and dove out of the storm, returning to her previous size as they descended.
Through the wind and blurry vision, they could see that they were almost to the cave.
It was gonna be close!
