R-265: Flash

Nightfall, in a deserted park. “This is a lot less spooky than I’d expected when you told me we were going to a cemetery,” Flash commented, looking up at the full moon in the sky. It cast long shadows across the grass, turned deep grey from the cold light seeping through the clouds. As an Earth rider primarily, Flash probably had a really skewed idea of what ‘spooky’ entailed- and by that, Nova meant that he probably would think a walking skeleton staring him in the eye was �...

After Quake and Flash’s escapade where Quake mistook an Earth dragon for a fish, and Flash managed to finally get some of that pumpkin stew after what felt like hours in line, they were both exhausted and agreed to rest a while at the farm before they went back to their Flight. It wasn’t too far away from their Flight, after all, and it was still not even midday yet. Walking...

Quake was surprised at the sheer amount of people and dragons she could see in the distance. Her rider, Flash, was flying next to her, and they were here on the farm to trade for some food to stockpile for the festive season. Even though she had expected a fair few people- of course, this was harvest season after all, surely a farm would be at its most popular at this time- what she did not...

Rain season is approaching, and a massive hunting party has gathered between the various settlements in order to take advantage of the herds that had gathered in search of water. Usually they would not hunt together, but the massive herds of animals makes hunting a difficult challenge for even the most seasoned of hunters- dragons or riders. Today Flash had brought Quake and Nova, two quick-running Earth dragons to flush the herds out, and he was met by Ashiwa with her Ouroboros (levitating n...

The rain pattered down on the two dragons and their rider as they walked through the city at night. It wasn’t heavy rain, by all means, but it was still definitely a thunderstorm judging by the flashes of lightning that would occasionally turn the sky white for a brief moment. The rain cast a foggy and almost mystical look across the tall-ish buildings, neon lights in shades of blue and yellow and pink diffracting through the mist and reflecting across small puddles on the ground. Water has...

By all accounts, Nova didn’t like people. No, he didn’t mean his rider Flash, or Flash’s few friends. He meant other strangers, and that is why he was sitting at the race feeling incredibly uncomfortable. Nova was like the guard raptor of Flash’s home. Any sign of danger and he would be jumping in front of it, hissing and flaring his feathers. Usually with a little intimidation the intruder would back off, but he was quite capable of making sure they never retur...
