Chapter Nine

Wind and rain whipped at Izzy’s face as she flew, but she would not allow herself to slow down. If there was a weak link in this army today, it would not be her. Izzy bent low against her broomstick and kept her squinted eyes trained on Noah’s dragon form, which sliced through the air in front of her. In front of him, Raven flew, leading the way to where Saul’s army would be overtaking the rest of the Falcon Cross army. The hundreds of Falcon Cross soldiers that were now armed with ancient artifacts leaned in on their broomsticks, flying behind and around Izzy. The group was strong, and well-armed: three of the five Redwood Dragons’ vaults had been completely emptied, and the treasures that had been hidden within were now worn by the Falcon Cross Wizards. Even still, would this group be strong enough? Would their strength, joined with the rest of the Falcon Cross army and Redwood Dragons, be enough to push back Saul?

Izzy did her best to squelch the sick feeling she got in her stomach every time she thought of Saul. Despite Noah’s apologies for all of the cruel things he’d said, she knew there was truth to at least one aspect of his words. She was a coward. Perhaps not a total coward. After all, she’d stepped up in battles before, and she had managed to save Noah’s life when the monster attacked him in the redwoods. But that didn’t change the fact that thinking about Saul made her feel like she was going to hurl. She knew the odds of her coming face to face with him in battle weren’t too high, but that didn’t matter. Just the fact that there was a slight chance she’d see that evil dragon’s face again filled her with fear.

The rain wasn’t helping her mood. It had been sunny in the redwoods, but as Izzy and the rest of the army started flying northeast, clouds began to gather. By the time darkness fell, those clouds had started to spew rain in sheets. Izzy had never flown through rain quite so thick, and she couldn’t shake the feeling that the weather was some sort of ominous, foreboding sign. It was looking like the battle of the century was going to take place at the same time as the storm of the century. Izzy tried her best to make her mind go blank, to only focus on flying and not on the destruction she knew waited ahead of her. But it was impossible to completely block out the terror slowly rising in her chest.

She saw the flashes of light well before she heard any of the battle noise. At first, she thought she was seeing lightning, but after a few seconds, she realized she was seeing the bursts of light that always accompanied wizard attacks. Mixed in with these flashes were frequent red-orange streaks, indicating that one of the dragons was breathing out fire. Izzy swallowed hard. The battle was in full swing.
