Day 055: Nose Dive
It only took a moment for Eeno to realize where he was. He quickly relaxed and looked at Nynn. He was rubbing her eyes trying to get them to focus to the waning sunlight. She lowere her hands and squinted at Eeno. She smiled.
“Hold on you two.” Athvor warned as he began to decend. It wasn’t an easy drop in elevation. He pulled his wings in to his body, letting his body drop like a stone. He pointed his nose at the white sand below and dove to deck.
Nynn held on for dear life, not knowing what was going to happen. He was sure that Athvor would not let her get hurt. She was sure that he would not plow himself into the ground killing them both. It didn’t make since. That knowledge didn’t make the speedy decline any less terrifying.
Eeno could not take the dive. He pushed off Athvor’s back in self defense. He opened his wings catching the wind. Nynn’s face passed by his scales with only the width of hairs keeping his tail from making contact with her face. She could have been sliced open, or worse, she could have been knocked off Athvor’s back sending her to her death.
