"Good morning Casa, glad you could make it," O'wain beamed at the young candidate. "I am definitely all ready, I even scrounged up some leathers for you to wear, I do hope they fit."
I am ready as well, it will be good to fly with you, Casa, The brown nudged the girl gently then lowered himself down to make it easier for the girl to climb up once she was ready.
"I also packed a lunch so we don't have to worry about going hungry and can take our time searching." O'wain assured her, grinning. He was quite eager to go on this trip with Casa, one of the very few things he did outside of wing practice and patrols that wasn't centered around getting laid. The challenge of finding firelizard eggs and raising up one of the little guys certainly made it worth the trip all by itself.
Once Casa was ready to go, he helped her up onto Nishkath's back, finding the girl had no problem getting up and settling down properly between neckridges. O'wain helped secured the fighting straps and took his own seat. Once he was secure he looked over his shoulder. "Tell your fair to hang on, we are taking off."
Nishkath crouched and spread his wings and with a powerful thrust of his muscular hind legs and a heavy beat of his wings, he lunged into the air. O'wain loved the feel of power in Nishkath's frame during those first few seconds of leaving the ground and climbing into the air. To escape the clutches of gravity was a full bodied effort for a dragon and the freedom gained once airborne was like nothing else O'wain ever experienced outside of sex.
Giving a whoop of pure delight, O'wain looked over his shoulder at Casa, grinning madly. "Flying, the best thing ever to happen to man," he shouted loudly.
Soon Nishkath leveled off, his broad wings beating slowly to keep him level, more gliding now than climbing. They were high enough the lower thermals made it easier for the dragon to stay aloft but not so high the humans couldn't see details of the land below them. Right now it was mostly jungle and mountains till O'wain directed them more to the north where they had better chance to find beaches and other suitable habitat for firelizards to lay eggs.
After about an hour or so of flying he noticed a sandy spot that looked idea. With a silent command he had Nishkath descent and find a good spot to land near the beach. Once fully on the ground, Nishkath sank down to the ground to make it easier for his riders to dismount. O'wain removed the fighting straps off himself and Casa and slid down to the ground.
"Lets take a look around here, see if we find any sign of nests," he suggested.
