Chapter 253: Dragon (2)
A scream erupted from Evanna’s mouth as her stomach dropped before falling from the skies. Her scream caught in her throat as her body tumbled, swirling around, the wind blasting her face, whipping her hair around, untying the plait as icicles scratched her. She forced herself to focus on the dragon that started to fly towards her.
It was almost like he wanted to watch closely how the ground would crush Evanna’s bones before she drowned. She couldn’t let that happen. Too many people relied on her.
She would not die today! With great power surging through her entire being, tensing her muscles, she forced the black tendrils of her dark power to crash into the dragon. With full force, she swiftly unlocked her mind and started controlling the beast. The dragon flew closer and closer, its wings moving rapidly to catch Evanna.
When she was close enough, the beast caught her and slowed its descent. Evanna clutched at the dragon’s clear, sharp claws with her hands, overlooking the icy lake below. The wind blew her hair back, and she almost lost her concentration from how proud and amazed she felt.
She was controlling a dragon!
It didn’t last long, though, because she felt the beast quickly putting up a mental block.
Just a bit longer! Evanna clasped at the edges of his mind, watching the ground grow closer. She could still get severely injured from this height.
But the power she had zapped all her energy. A wave of dizziness and nausea crashed through her just as she coughed up blood, gagging on it whilst her nose and ears bled.
"How weak," the beast growled.
