Chapter 1
This was my third full-out sprint, just in case the Basilisks were still following me.
I collapsed against the brittle packed snow, dragging myself forward. It felt like the cold and the wind rend my muscles to shreds as I clawed myself foreward. It was almost funny; the snow and the cold seemed so harmless from the canyon, but it was so hostile and deadly.
Nope. It wasn’t funny, I’m hysterical.
For several minutes I laid in the snow, not fighting as it slowly carpeted me and pinned me to the ground as I waited to be recaptured. After I had regained my strength, I pulled my wings and tail out from under the ice and sighed in relief; they weren’t here.
When the tamed basilisks had ravaged the ravine, I had been certain that I would have been caught with the other unlucky juveniles, but they were too distracted with gathering the poor hatchlings and eggs out of unwatched nests. What you’d gain with those slobbery piles of scales and the eggs, I don’t know, but it couldn’t be good.
I couldn’t think for too long on this subject, though, I had to keep moving or I’d catch hypothermia.
I lifted from the snow bank and circled around in a spiraling air current to get my bearings. I could see the ravine, wyverns pooling above it like flies on droppings. I spotted movement to the left and I whirled my head, preparing a blast of fire, when I saw that it was another juvenile, a blood Crystal Wyvern, one that I didn’t know, also riding the updrafts. I started to glide over to them. “Hey! Who are-“ I started to say. Then the bolas came.
Six of them slammed into the blood juvenile, dragging them down, three more and multiple arrows tipped with narcotics hitting him as he slammed into the snow.
My heart jackhammered in my chest. The humans and their slaved mounts were still out there, and there was no chance of me getting back to the ravine without them spotting me.
I heard a shout from below, an alien rough language from one of the humans and grunts of excitement from their raptors and basilisks. They started moving towards me.
And I flew.
