Chapter 5066 Scales On Skin(Fan/Sci- Fuck):>Ep7
- "Malkuth!" he cried out, with tears in his eyes. He knew the moment it was about to happen, tightening his grip around his mount's neck as the great wings spread with a sound like a snapping sail, and then began to beat the air, stirring dust and bones from the stone floor. He kept his eyes open as the dragon launched them both into a broad corridor and out a colonnaded gallery, to soar away from the tower and over the mountainous landscape below.
- The wind whipping by on his bare skin felt amazing, but also quite cold even this low to the ground. Malkuth was aware immediately, and slowed. Tlan had ridden on a dragon once before, but he couldn't believe what it felt like to be doing it while as one with the beast. He could understand the eddies of air that Malkuth navigated with his wings. He knew when the dragon was going to tilt or swerve. At the same time, Mal knew when Tlan wanted to go one way or another, and Tlan could tell the dragon was finding himself wanting to comply, and enjoying the approval he could feel from Tlan in response.
- Dragon and rider arced around the tower in an upward spiral, and then caught a thermal, gliding on still wings toward a row of cliffs in the distance. Tlan looked back at the tower and saw a pair of winged forms flying out, beating at the air for altitude and angling toward him. As he watched one of the flyers dove at the other, which evaded and snapped back, appearing to miss. He shook his head and chuckled.
