Chapter Seven

Gill uploaded the coordinates Jollies had stolen from the facilities war room, and Team Boundless was off. Alex still hadn’t explained the plan to the rest of the team, but she knew what had to be done. She had seen what kind of fight they were headed toward through Manny’s eyes.

Every second spent talking and explaining was wasting time they needed. Alex just hoped she had the trust of her team. That was the most important thing at the moment. She hadn’t had much time to prove herself to them, but she didn’t think she’d disappointed them so far. Today wasn’t going to be any different.

Alex kept Team Boundless close to the ground as they flew away from the mountains, heading toward a green valley. Beyond the valley was a dying forest, trees gnarled and breaking apart, roots lifted from the ground, fighting for life.

Gill and Brath were having a hard time flying that close to the ground. Their dragon’s claws kept scraping it, slowing them down. Brath was getting audibly more annoyed, grumbling loudly and not bothering to turn his comm down.

Jollies and Jim, on the other hand, weren’t having a problem. Amber was small enough that it didn’t matter what height she was flying at; her speed was not affected. And Jim’s mech seemed to be able to take whatever you threw at it. The thing wasn’t fast, but it was stout.

Alex didn’t mind the closeness to the ground. She hadn’t noticed it, but she often took her flying skills for granted. It hadn’t crossed her mind that the other riders might have trouble staying so low without losing speed. That was something she’d have to keep in mind for the future. What good was trying to lead if you forgot about what everyone needed?

Brath’s voice broke through Alex’s musings. “Okay, I’m just going to say, this is idiotic,” he grumbled. “Why the hell are we staying so low? There’s a whole sky above us. And last time I checked, we were riding dragons, not horses.”

Gill sighed over the intercom. “For once, I am going to have to agree with Brath,” he joined in. “It makes no sense to be this low to the ground. We are moving slower and less efficiently.”

Alex countered, “Not everyone is moving slower. You two just need to concentrate and keep up.”

When Brath spoke, you could hear the sting in his voice. “’Just concentrate and keep up?’” he repeated. “Not all of us are riding micro-dragons. Furi is huge! Do you know how much it takes just to keep him from nosediving into the ground right now?”

“That’s not what, I mean, Brath. Sorry. I just meant, if you pay attention to—”

“Trust me, I’m friggin’ paying attention.”

Alex took a deep breath as she tried to find the right words. She was doing that thing where she got flustered and tried to explain herself. The right words just didn’t come.

In fact, they were the exact opposite; they were the wrong words. Most of the
