Akiana walked forward on the narrow path up the mountain. "Come on, Noka." Her dragon was not very big yet, about the size of a small adult giraffe, but at least she could ride her. Noka was a strong flier, but most of the times she was on land.
Suddenly, a smaller, younger girl appeared at the top of the mountain. "Give me back my sister!" she stammered angrily. "You shall pay!" she cleared the altitude between the top of the mountain and Akiana and Noka in one effortless bound, almost landing on the "half-breed".
