Xyreith hovered easily as they waited for the two girls to join them, R’nya watching thoughtfully as Aradissicath took to the air with a graceful leap. It always seemed to take the bigger dragons so much more effort to get into the air, while the smaller dragons – especially the green and blue – seemed to just dart around like oversized firelizards when it came to flying. Of course, their riders often flittered around like oversized firelizards too, so he supposed that made sense.
R’nya nodded slightly when Rhaedalyn’s glance was caught, with the bronzerider glancing down to confirm that there was a healthy amount of space between both dragons and the ground, as well as suitable wing space between the pair of them. Raising his arm, he gave the wing signal that he had shown the girls which indicated Xyreith would be sharing the image with their dragon. When Xyreith confirmed that the image had been sent and received, R’nya dropped his arm and the pair vanished between.
Trips between always seemed to take so much longer when there were lessons being taught. While R’nya could very well have taught his students to bounce between from ‘here’ to ‘there’ without the travel himself, he’d found it caused less confusion to give locations that weren’t simply a few dragonlengths in front of them. As a result, most of the lessons prior had been jumps to the lake’s edge and back, but he had opted for a different location with Rhaedalyn and Aradissicath.
While the location wasn’t really that discernible from anywhere else in the forested maze that was the Southern end of the planet, the area R’nya had asked Xyreith to take them to was very familiar; the spot they had spent several years isolated in. There was not anything of that left over, between the years that had since passed and R’nya’s own careful packing up before they left to re-join Nirinath and the other dragons. But it was a familiar sight none the less, even if somewhat more over grown than he’d quite expected.
Let’s land. The girls will be high on adrenaline. R’nya’s instructions were passed along to his dragon even as the sudden light of day burst against his eyes, and R’nya’s brows furrowed as his gaze turned towards where Rhaedalyn and Aradissicath should appear from the cold grasp of between. His heart was in his throat for those few tiny moments before he spotted the golden hide – an arm was lifted to wave them down and Xyreith started a lazy spiral, angling in slowly on a familiar landing area.
When the dragon landed, R’nya was already unstrapped and sliding down to land on the ground, helmet and goggles quickly taken off and gloves tossed on top of it by Xyreith’s feet as he waited for Rhaedalyn to tumble off her dragon. He was looking forward to seeing the expression hidden under her helmet and goggles!
