ToT Drabble the Second
For maeritrae
The wind, the sky, the sun and clouds. It was a beautiful day and the guards standing on the wall were lounging against the warm granite. Rumours were flying - today was the day that the treaty was to be signed and -supposedly- the Lady of Light and her sister were to oversee the ceremonial matters. No-one really believed in it and the guards were starting to laugh about it...when the sky fell.
Or at least that is what it felt like. One moment the sky was blue, the next moment the sky was blocked by a massive black dragon who shot overhead. They cowered as the huge shape tilted, banking sharply to circle around the outer wall. The wind of its passing nearly knocked them off the wall and they clung to each other and trembled as the huge dragon back-winged and began to sink slowly towards the ground. They gibbered as the red eyes drew level with them and the dragon houfed.
Elina leant forward as Black Rose began to chuckle. "What did she say?"
Black Rose pointed to the two disheveled guards clinging to each other just as the downdraft from Ka'neesh's wings sent them tumbling down the stairs. "She said "Oops..."!"
