RITA

Gosh is all this fighting ever gonna end? Are we ever gonna see the light of day without having to gasp through smoke and fire? When will I get to live in peace away from thr constant worry that all my friends will die? When will everything go back to the way it was?

Oof too poetic..But you get the point. I'm frustrated and sick of war. What week is this? Four? Or five? Something like that. Its been a long road of fighting. Everybody seems to have permanent bags under their eyes and we're all a little too thin for my liking. Freygair could only give us a small supply of food, the rest was for the people who were in captivity and waiting till it was safe to go home. Ugh when will it end..

Aside from like the every other other day we spent fighting, things were still running. Aud still looked depressed, which I felt a little bad about, but she'll get over it. Right now, I'm a free girl, and I used my freedom often.

I rubbed Nebbie's frill and sighed freely, my hands moving to the air. These little breaks from everything felt good to do evey now and then. Not that I didnt like being around everyone, but sometimes I just need a good hour of flying with my girl.

I layed down on Nebbie's back and gently brushed the small scars on her wing. It was frustrating that our innocent dragons had to suffer for the freedom of innocent humans. Gosh I just wanted all this pain to be over.

I sighed again but jumped when Vix and Tumble zipped out if nowhere.

"Ah, there you are! You've been gone for an hour," he said.

"I know, sorry. Just getting some air," I replied.

"Ah, okay."

It was quiet for a little, I was to tired to think of a conversation so I just layed where I was on her back.

Tumble suddenly burst into excitement when Titan showed up (out of nowhere too.) Vix chuckled. "Hang on buddy," he told him. He gently directed him closer to Nebs and jumped onto her back. "Have fun guys! Dont go far," he called while scooting closer and wrapping his arms around me.

"Your not going with them?"

"Oh gods no. Last time I went with them when they were this crazy I...well...I learned what a tree branch felt like when you fell into it."

"Ouch," I hissed. "Sounds painful."

"Eh,"he replied, quickly kissing the side of my head. I cuddled closer into his arms and sighed contentedly. This was perfect. ‐- "BAM! I GOT YOUR CHEIF! I WINNNNN!" Aud shouted at Isla who folded her arms and frowned. The rest of us all laughed at Auds (cringey) victory dance.

"Okay Aud," I laughed. "Okayyy. OKAY GEEZ STOP!" I Laughed and pushed her away from the board.

"Kate, Aidan, you guys are up."

Aidan cracked his knuckles and smiled making Kate just chuckle, "My my so competitive!"

He lightly laughed and sat down. They made their first moves when we all heard a sound.

"Wait shh," Michael commanded. We all quieted and listened intently. A faint crash sounded followed by a distant quake.

"Oh gods there here!" Michael yelled. "Go, go go!"

We all rushed and immediately got into battle mode, hoping on our dragons and flying out towards the sound.

It was the biggest army yet. Despite the growing fear of how the heck we were gonna do it, I had a small glimmer of hope that if we beat this, we would win.

So we went with the simplest plan possible, front to back, top to bottom, left to right, take out as much as you can from the air first. And so it began. -- “Um, Vix, the thing is, we’re… I’m just… scared.” I said quietly. After not seeing him for hours, I finally found him in his hut, safe and sound. "There’s so many of them, and more coming I don’t know if we can-“

"Rita," he said quickly interupting me, "I know it looks hard but we can’t give up hope because we ARE the hope. People are depending on us for their lives. And I will protect you, I promise.” I felt his comforting hand on my shoulder as he lightly kissed me cheek.

“We hardly got over the last one and then they surprise attack us, I don’t think we’re ready,” I sighed. “I want to believe that we can, Vix, but there’s so much happening…”

“I know, I know. But we have to put forth our best effort, go all out, all in and never ever give up. I wanted to be a guardian since I was little because I wanted to protect people. And after my dad was killed by them, I had an even stronger urge to do that. On one of the missions, I saw innocent families and kids and I knew I had done the right thing. We need to protect them. We knew the risks of being a guardian. I know that if I die I can die peacefully knowing I helped others,” he said. “and I understand. I’m… I’m still scared too.”

“Thanks,” I said, hugging him and once again feeling safe in his arms.

“Of course,” he said with a smile.

After checking on the unconscious, injured friend on his bed one last time, he ran out the door holding my hand.

"Oh good news is Aidan spotted Havardr with some guy, so we know this is the last of them," I said.

"Thank Thor, but then we for sure know this isnt going to be like before. You know, kill a couple badguys and defeat a fleet of ships and your done...this is the big deal. Theres gonna be a lot of unexpected stuff, so lets just stick together and expect the unexpected," he said.

"Okay," I nodded squeezing his hand. He smiled and then we both mounted our dragons and flew off to the battle. -- Haha I said I would write on holiday, and I did xP (I literally just woke up and wrote it all before school so Ig it counts 🤣)
