Chapter Nine

Ashley and Todd were well on their way toward Firestorm Mountain. The two dragons flew for many long hours each day though they did have to stop several times to allow Ashley and Todd to eat and rest. They were also flying much slower than normal since the two dragons had riders.

“It’s almost dark!” shouted Todd. They were high up in the air flying over a desolate landscape. Occasionally they would pass over small areas of green but they were few and far between. “There’s a green area up ahead and what looks like a small lake.”

“Put us down there, Snowden,” said Ashley.

“We will,” answered the dragon. “Maybe we will find some food there.” Neither dragon had eaten for several days.

The dragons began to descend and landed gently next to the small lake. The land around it was green with a few tall trees. This area looked untouched by the Worldfire.

Ashley got off Snowden and stretched. She felt stiff from being on the dragon for so long. Todd climbed down from Braxam and began unloading their supplies and removing the harnesses they used to stay safely on the dragons. Once he was finished both dragons took to the air.

“We’re about halfway there,” said Todd as he sat down and took a deep breath. “Has Snowden said any more about Cathy?”

“Yes, he’s greatly concerned. He told me Gilmreth is awake and feeding on people.”

“Gilmreth,” replied Todd, a worried look appearing on his face. “He’s supposed to be the worst of all the dragons.”

“Also the biggest,” added Ashley. She placed her left hand upon her amulet, which began to glow dimly. “I’m scared, Todd. I’m not sure what Snowden expects me to do. We’re talking about fighting the biggest dragon ever created.”

Todd stood up and came over putting his arm around Ashley. “Don’t worry about it. We’ll figure it out when we get there. Also remember Cathy will be there as well and Snowden says she’s a very powerful sorceress.”

In the distance, they heard one of the dragons roar with triumph. One of them had made a successful kill.

“I’ll start gathering some firewood,” said Todd. There were several dead trees nearby that will be an excellent source.

Ashley nodded. “I’ll get some food out. I’m starving after spending so much time on Snowden.” She heard the second dragon roar as it too made a kill. She was glad the dragons had found something to eat. They needed to keep up their strength for what was ahead of them.

Digging into one of the packs she took out some of the food her mother had prepared for them. At least for the time being they had plenty to eat. All she had to do was toss it into a skillet and warm it up.

It didn’t take long for Todd to gather a large pile of firewood. Ashley used the fire spell to start a roaring flame and after a few minutes had their food warmed up.

“What do you think the people around Firestorm Mountain will be like?” asked Todd as he filled his plate and sat down next to Ashley to eat.
