CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Ilith lost herself in the beauty of flight, the wind ripping past her wings, the hot sun above her and the rippling land beneath her. The lessons Ryu's dragon had forced on her had strengthened her wings and whatever had forced her into that unnatural sleep had given her the missing piece she needed to fly. This was the best she’d felt since she and her Savior had returned to the world.

Right now, she felt like she could circle the globe and still have energy to burn afterward.

Her body still wasn't quite comfortable, but her muscles were beginning to remember this activity that had once come to her as easily as breathing.

For a stretch of time, Ilith forgot what she was supposed to do and simply became a creature of air and sky, content to feel and exist.

Eventually the drag of her passengers reminded her of her purpose. She banked, circling before changing direction as she soared away from the dunes. The shadow of her passing rippled over the land as it gradually became rockier, leaving the sand dunes behind in favor of hard-packed dirt.

A small tug inside her chest compelled her onward.

Ilith obeyed.

The sun was beginning its descent when she saw green dotting the horizon, the beginning of a jungle in the distance promising relief from the endless brown and reds.

Ilith's sharp vision picked up more and more signs of activity of the two-legged nature. She altered her flight path, following the tracks of what looked like a large caravan. There were signs of wagons and footprints trampling the ground, easy for any creature with a speck of intelligence to follow.

Ilith banked again, arrowing through the sky as that same tug increased. She was close to whatever was drawing her in this direction.

The white tops of tents began to take shape below her, where their owners had elected to camp on the very outskirts of what promised to be a lush jungle

A small figure pushed out of one of the tents and looked up. They pushed their hood away from their face before shouting over their shoulder. They raced for the outskirts of the little camp as a furred creature quickly followed, weaving between obstacles with a predator's precision.

Ilith circled the camp once, her altitude dropping as she prepared to land. Except, she hadn't taken into account how difficult that would be while clasping her mate in her front paws.

Her back feet touched down first, her tail lifted unnaturally high as she flared her wings, trying to maintain her balance with her unwieldy cargo.

She wavered, trying not to tumble headfirst into the dirt. Instead, she flopped onto her side, her passengers held up off the ground. She gently lowered them before she struggled back to her feet, shaking herself all over.

She kneaded the ground with her front paws, grateful to have their full use again. Carrying things in them was hard. She didn't know how all these two-leggers did it.

"Ilith," a voice cried, right before the boy Tate called brother threw himself at her chest.
