So, to start with, it should be said that this FF was created in collaboration with Nangala. Furthermore, I would like to give you some help to understand the signs:

"..." = someone says something out loud
'...' = the riders talk to their kites (you read that right) via thought transmission
//...// = someone thinks

That was it. We hope you like the story and you leave us your reviews !!! (Not only registered users are allowed to revive!)

enjoy the story

No matter what

Fly like the wind

The wind whistled at a height of 1000m and gave the birds perfect flight opportunities. But not only the hunters of the sky, such as the giant bald eagle, took advantage of the updraft ...

Two Chinese dragons cut the air like two arrows that had just been released from a string. One of them was snow-white and had golden eyes with night-black, slit-like pupils that perceived absolutely every movement.Right next to him was a black dragon with golden eyes and black, slit-like pupils. The scales of the two of them shimmered in different colors in the rays of the early morning sun.

The kites stayed in the air, twisting and twisting. Their elongated snouts, hiding dagger-like teeth, pointed downwind. Their fine noses absorbed every smell. On the back, fur, in the respective color, adorned her body up to the tail, which tapered to a point. Her elongated body adapted perfectly to the airflow. Their rather short limbs, with deadly claws growing on their claws, were, at least when flying, unused.

On her neck, just behind her head, sat two young women bent forward. They enjoyed the sharp wind that tore at their clothes and hair without ceasing. On the white kite sat Mailin, a woman of seventeen with shoulder length, dark brown hair and emerald green eyes.Amaya, also 17, on the other hand, flew on the black, her waist-length, dark blonde hair she had tied in a ponytail, which was held together by a black hair band. Her eyes, whose color was a mixture of sky and sea blue and varied depending on the incidence of light, looked around solemnly.

The two wore black armor that was very similar to that of the demon hunters and was tight-fitting. At the elbows, shoulders and knees it was reinforced by thin metal plates, which were fir green for Mailin and glacier blue for Amaya.

Directly behind them were saddlebags over the necks of the dragons, in which the everyday clothes, provisions and weapons of the women were kept. At the moment they only had a quiver of arrows and their bows. Mailin's Sai's and Amaya's silver longsword were securely stowed in the saddlebags.

'Where should we go, Akaru? 'Amaya asked her black dragon via thought transmission. That was the only way to communicate with the dragons, as they couldn't speak.Once you learned this art, you would never forget it. Another advantage was that those who mastered the transference of thoughts could also talk to each other in this way, unheard of by others.

'To Dragon Claw Rock. Namiromaru is said to be there or at least to have been seen ... ', Akaru answered his rider's question.
'And then they just send us?!? 'said Mailin in disbelief. 'Should we compete alone against the greatest adversary of the dragon riders?!?'
'Seems so! 'said Nimoe, Mailin's dragon.
'Then you trust and yes a lot! 'said Amaya dryly.

The bald eagle flapped its wings and looked at the dragons and their riders skeptically. With a scream he turned away and flew back to the sea, his ancestral home.

The kites flew through the air almost exuberantly. During the training, which they had to do almost all the time, they rarely got to fly really free.But now that she and her riders had completed their apprenticeship, they no longer had to worry about it. They were now free to roam the country and help wherever they wanted, as long as they did not join Namiromaru. The dragons were immensely proud of their riders, partly because they had an incredibly high level of self-esteem, which was rarely found, and partly because they were incredibly powerful, even for a dragon rider. Mailin and Amaya were teaching priestesses when they were called to be dragon riders. They were nearly finished with their teaching when this happened. Therefore, although they weren't real Mikos, they still had their powers.

For example, they could strengthen their arrows with their powers so that they pulled their target to their death with a huge explosion. With the help of their micro-powers, they had also done something else that was otherwise generally unknown: they had also reinforced their normal weapons.When Mailin fought her sais, like Amaya's longsword, they were lapped by deep red flames that could wreak havoc if they touched skin for even three seconds.

Amaya stretched her neck towards the wind. Mailin could only smile at that. Her friend loved flying and freedom, just as a youkai or maybe a hanyou did. Mailin was no different, but she preferred not to show her feelings so clearly, since, as she had experienced with this, one would reveal too much about oneself to the enemy.

Meanwhile, Nimoe and Akaru had their own thoughts. It was strange that they should be sent alone to a place where Namiromaru could be. He was a strong enemy, and if you underestimated him, you would lose your life. And yet they had been sent. Did she consider the body of dragon riders so powerful to send her alone against her archenemy?!?Akaru sighed inwardly. The committee was not predictable anyway. Every time he thought he saw through it, it did something completely unexpected ...

He turned his head elegantly and looked at Amaya, whose face was covered in a shadow.
// She's been wearing this shadow for years ... and yet she's not losing it. The loneliness in her life took a toll on her. Even Mailin and I couldn't take her away from her ... she would need someone she loves ... but the way she behaves towards men, cold and dismissive, it will never be anything ... But she also has a reason to be like that. After all, she owes the biggest scar on her soul to the men ... I remember when she told me about it ... she collapsed crying ... // thought Akaru and looked at Amaya with a pitying look. // Will she ever tell anyone but me?!? Not even Mailin knows about it ... //

Nimoe, too, had turned her head and was looking at Mailin, who was watching the clouds pass by.// Oh, Mailin ... // Nimoe sighed. // When will you finally stop being so gloomy?!? When will you be able to forget?!? I know it's hard, but what happened once is a thing of the past. I know that you hate people more than anything, even though in some ways you are one of them. You are a dragon rider, and not a human, but still: Before you were called, it was you. But no matter how often I try to persuade you, every time you turn away or close your mind. A people-hating demon would have a lot of joy in you ... //

The four flew on in silence, each indulging in his own thoughts. Amaya sighed in resignation when she felt Akaru's eyes on her.
'What is it? Are you thinking about that shadow that is in my face again?!? 'she asked him, almost annoyed.
'Yes. How can you not do that?!? 'Akaru replied. Amaya smiled weakly and said nothing.

Mailin also noticed Nimoe's looks and asked: 'What?''Be happier! We are finally on a real mission and have completed our apprenticeship! 'said Nimoe encouragingly. Mailin sighed and was silent. Then she turned anywhere but Nimoe's direction. The dragon sighed.
// If something doesn't happen soon, it will stay that way forever ... I wish something would happen that changes everything! // thought Nimoe. Little did she know that her wish would come true ...

Shah Rukh floated silently in the sky. His rider made it clear to him that he should hurry. Immediately he struck with his mighty wings, which were innate to him as a dragon of darkness. Its red scales shone like fire. His master, who was sitting right behind his head, was wrapped in a fiery red cloak. He had pulled the hood up to his eyes so that no one could see the blood-red eyes underneath. A diabolical grin played around his lips.

'May the games begin ...' he said to Shah Rukh.The more powerfully built than slender kite nodded and started to dive. He cut the air silently and shot down unstoppably. He flew noiselessly through a cloud and ...

Akarus and Nimoe's heads popped out and their ears perked up, but by then it was too late. Shah Rukh shot right through the middle of the two dragons. Amaya and Mailin just got to see the rider's cloak when he and his dragon were gone again. But they didn't have time to worry about it. Shah Rukh had struck him in the neck with his forelegs while he was flying between the two Chinese dragons, so that they passed out.

"Nimoe !!!", Mailin shouted, while Amaya called: "Akaru !!!" The two of them didn't hear and had stopped moving. They were now in free fall, which was completely uncomfortable for the riders. But Shah Rukh didn't stop there. He shot over a second time, dragging Nimoe and Mailin with him."MAILIN !!!!!", Amaya shouted almost desperately. The dragon Namiromarus had dragged them along with Nimoe.

About a kilometer from Amaya and Akaru, Shah Rukh also let go of Nimoe, who was still unconscious. Mailin had desperately held on to her fur to keep from slipping off her friend's neck. Now that the dragon had let go of them, they were in free fall again. The body of Nimoe fell almost lifelessly towards the earth, still sitting on her neck Mailin, who was also apparently doomed to death. Shah Rukh and Namiromaru flew away to their base ...

"AAAAAHHH !!!!!" Mailin yelled, clutching Nimoe's fur.
'NIMOE WAKE UP !!!!! 'she screamed in her mind, but no answer, as usual, echoed through her mind. She looked down against her will, to the earth. Inexorably she came closer and closer and she was too preoccupied with her fear to have noticed the youkai
