75- Finale pt.3

Ok... Don't burn his whole wing off...

One second I'm looking at Xaden going towards more of those big ass wyvern and in the next second I'm examining Rhy's wing. 

" Tell me what to do." I pleaded.

" Cut around it, then burn it. Simple." Rhys growls back trying to control his pain.

" I'm not a damn healer.." I grumble pulling out another knife doing as he says slowly cutting. I hear the faint growl as I keep cutting " Don't cut slow.. hurry the hell up..." Rhys grits.

I huff, " Sorry."

I try to hurry for his sake as I cut a larger hole afraid I'm taking to much off, but he assures me a dragon can still fly with over half of their webbing off of their wing...he also told me to hurry every other second making my damn hands shake.

I let some fire out softly, though that was easy seeing I'm nearly out. For that he makes no noise surprising me until I remeber when I tried frying him at the isalnd it had no effect.

I sigh. " Alright..." I say softly looking at him. " How long until-"

" Now." Rhys says sharply, " Segyl has bled enough for me." 

I don't fight, instead I hop on once more and we're off again going for Segyl and Xaden who was fending off two wyvern... barely.

Rhys takes one's throat in his mouth shaking it viciously, dropping the corpse below. We circle once again, Segyl clawing at the beast biting it's literal face off nearing us. She nudges Rhys lovingly before we take off.

" Any more?" I ask aloud, though that was almost instantly answered as 3 more come at us. Not just any wyvern 3 of those wyvern gryphon mutts.... " I would think all these damn things would die once I killed her."

" They only die once their creators die. Why send their creator to a war, one hit and it'd take out their entire fleet?" Xaden says quickly.

Good point.

They split all flying at us from different directions, I throw fire at the one, though they dodge it. My aim is even getting thrown off.

" Focus only fire when they're close child." Segyl points in my head, her voice sultry mixed with her usual edge, but also....worry? 

I nod tough I feel myself grow a little imbalanced as I lean forward just catching myself with my arm preventing myself from face planting on Rhy's back. I feel Xaden, his worry for me, along with the dragons.

I can feel all our exhaustion.

" Just a little longer Freya..." Xaden assures and again I nod as we keep a tight formation watching the 3 circle us... waiting for their attack. One makes their break towards us flying at devilish speed. 

I wass just about to fire when I see Xaden make a spear like shadow hurling it at the beast, impaling it through it's throat. It croaks, trying to claw or pull it out though the shadow vanishes on the outside, I see just enough still inside, the black mist staying where it cannot be reached sending it without air...falling.

The other two circle again looking..outwards...

In that moment everything seemed to go silent... all I could hear was the distance beating of wings coming closer. I crane my head just enough to see....

No way in Hectate's cold hell....

I see the massive, broken, torn, bleeding bone showing wings... Black wings of Tairn.

" What the.." Xaden says looking equally as shocked. " I thought you killed them?!"

" I thought I did!" I yell back.

I see Temny, her clothes torn, her face skinned, part of it was just bone from the damn hard she just endured. How did she not die?!

" Xaden we need to go-" I feel the cold razor sharp sting all over my body as I was torn from Rhy's back.

I hear the three of them yell for me, I see Rhys barreling after me, then we plummet before rising once again. It took one look to see the dead gray scales covered with dull white feathers, knowing the damn mutt had me...how did we not hear it?

Why isn't it killing me? Whys are just flying closer to....

Dammit! We're flying towars Tairn.

I see Rhys still barreling, I see Xaden now fighting the other mutt... It's just up to Rhys...

Think Freya think.....

It's either going to Tremny or falling on the peaks...

I latch onto it's claw and send more fire on it's ankle making it scream. It tries shaking me but I held tight... Until it's whole talon falls with me.

Rhys roars again plummeting towards me, until the mutt clashes into him letting me fall.... Second time in the same day kinda sucks.. And no one is here to catch me...

We're all going to die...

Atleast we kept them safe...at least Hetta, Garrick, Bohdi, Imogen will be safe. Liam... He's safe..

I close my eyes hoping it'll go fast.

Until once again I was scooped up, my eyes flying open to half expect Tairn to be holding me...

It was red.

It was... Deigh.

I see the messy blonde hair of liam as he bent over looking at me. " Long time no see." He grins... That stupid grin...

" Liam?!"

" In the flesh." He smiles, " Climb on!"

I reaches over grabbing my hand, Deigh pivots so I basically become airborne falling right into Liam as he holds me firm.

" We told you to run!"

" Yea... then we decided to think and act like you two... We know damn well you two would've never ran, especially from a fight like this... So we didn't either. Good thing, you two are getting your asses kicked."

I chuckle clutching onto him in a hug. " You damn idiot."

He grins hugging me back.  " We save eachother's asses right?"

Rhys scorched the mutt catching up to us and was just flying slightly under Deigh looking up at my with anamused eyes at my stunt. I stand " Damn straight."

I jump down on Rhys settling in. " I think that was the dumbest thing You've done so far."

I chuckle, " I knew he was down there."

I hear a chuff, " Liar."

We both round to where the others were all facing to where Temny and Tarin were still coming at us.

" When we flew over the village everything was abandoned. They got whatever they came for." Garrick said quickly.  " Now would be a good time to go."

" I don't think they'll stop chasing us." Xaden adds. " No way we're leading her there, It's win this or get killed."

A wave of diminishing washes over me making my gaze blacken around the edges, I blink rapidly trying to maintain my focus. Please just give me a little more... I need a little more if we're going to live.

" She's nearly burnt out." Rhys shoots in Xaden's direction making his eyes snap to me as I try to look as uneffected as possible. He doesn't need to worry about me, not now.

" I can hold out." I shoot back quickly in my head.

" You look drunk." Xaden chimes, " Your on the brink of passing out."

" We need to fight." I urge.

" You need to live."  He answers.

" Freya!" Temny yells outreaching her hand making a spiked staff from her darkness standing on Tairn.

We all look at the two approaching. " We try to get them off our trail. We hide. then once we go the coast is clear we leave." Xaden says quickly. " Until then... fight like hell."

I see Deigh on the corner of my eyes and Liam, I look at him quickly he gives me a small reassuring smile before looking back at Temny,  " I call slitting her throat."

" I'll fight you for it Mairi." I say quickly before we all dive attempting to live another day.
