Scene 85
The glider sailed through the air and we quickly left the airships behind. None of us looked back. We didn’t want to see what was happening to the Valiant.
“What do you think?” I asked Mike. “Do you think we can make it to the citadel?”
“Assuming the air currents hold,” he answered. “We should be able to land next to the lake surrounding it.”
We both jumped a little when the large shadow quickly passed over our craft.
“What was that?” I gasped.
“Whatever it was, it’s big!” Mike answered.
Deena spoke up from behind me. “We need to get away from here!”
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“If it catches us in the air, it will tear this craft to splinters. We need to flee!”
“Why, Deena? What is it?”
“Something from my world, something very big and very powerful.”
“No! No! No!” James blurted out as he looked out the window.
I looked in the same direction and saw what he had seen. “Oh, you can’t be serious!”
The large winged, sinewy reptilian form cut through the air towards us. The only name I could apply to the creature closing in on our craft, was Dragon!”
We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance. - Japanese Proverb
