Attack of the Lovesick Dragon

The spirit's voice broke off with a screech. A glowering rider mounted on a froth-flecked black steed bore down on them, glaring at them from dark eyes burning above a black face covering. He drew his sa ber, driving them towards the water. As Rupert stepped backwards, drenching himself to the knees, the sky suddenly darkened, the rider's horse shied, and the rider, not giving full attention to his mount, slipped sideways.
Grippeldice's front claws grazed the part in Carole's hair as the dragon overflew tthemand landed in front of them. flaming. The horse reared, screaming, and bolted, rider clinging desperately to its mane, streaming cloak trailing ssmokeand sparks as the terrified mount galloped heedlessly off down the trail.
The dragon beat her wings once and started to take off after it, but Rupert cried out and Carole, translating, stopped the dragon with a word.
"We must reach the desert before they discover we are coming. Otherwise, I fear we will never find Miragenia or the child again."
