Page 35 of Fire Dragon
She kicked off her stilettos and didn’t care that she’d be leaving them behind on the pavement. She’d want to be free to walk up Liam’s long dragon neck and the points of her heels wouldn’t work at all.
Alarms blared up and down the street. Vehicles were left behind as people made their way into the shelter of nearby buildings.
Liam rose into the air and found a large enough area to make his shift. At the same time, she levitated far enough away from him to be safe, then landed on his natural saddle with barely a thump. She pressed her knees to his sides. She didn’t want to think about how much leg she was showing right now.
She felt Liam rev up his energy and she attached to it with barely a thought. She then left her seated position and stood up. Also with ease, she captured his mind so that he’d be able to see what she saw. Their daily practice had given them a seamless flow.
Ethan’s voice entered both her mind and Liam’s. The vampire had power.Your woman, Liam, is an Amazon. A fierce warrior. You should see her with the wind blowing her hair away from her face.
I’m lucky to have her as my battle-partner.
Emma’s voice intruded.I’m seeing twenty. Liam, why not take the vampires into your shield?
Good idea. What do you say, Ethan? You can leave the shield at the last second and give the dragons a surprise welcome.What the warrior vampires lacked in size compared to the dragons, they had in superb air-agility. They were also armed to the teeth.
Ethan agreed immediately. Vampires had strong battle skills and excellent instincts, but fighting dragons was tough business for those with only weapons on their side.
The vampires slid in behind Liam. Emma could feel each one as they took up their positions and Liam covered them with his flight energy.
Liam began to fly faster and faster, straight into the wind as he headed toward twenty hard-core Magi dragons.
The Magi wouldn’t be expecting to face an ADF dragon in battle. Though they were bigger and more powerful than Liam’s kind, as far as Emma knew, they still didn’t use riders. Apparently, they didn’t want women taking over their minds.
How we doin’, Emma?
I have my rifle at my shoulder and ready for the first shot.
Fire at will.
