Fable - Ask The Warmth of Dragons

[Cressida]

Cress shook her head, clearly unimpressed with Errune.

"You can't really be good at Dragon's Hit." Her lips pursed as she studied Rune. Baron at least had the good sense to position himself inbetween the two and she rubbed under the hound's chin as she explained. "You simply throw down a coin onto one of the two spots before you."

He would notice a gold and a red square before him. Every seat varied between whether they had an odd number or even number as well as what colors they had. For Cress she had a square of green and yellow.

"He'll flip his dice, if your number is divisible or if your color comes up, you win." She ceased rubbing Baron's chin and instead gave Errune a genuine smile. "Commoners like this game because they can sit and drink for hours," her voice hushed so as not to be overheard.

 

[Bani]

Bani had known she might be overtaken in this first section. Ok… would most likely be overtaken, but that didn’t make her simmer with any less anger. Nymbos’ four-winged dragon was making short work of this sheep section, and Bani was focused on her long enough not to realize how thick the air above them felt until Malennis was almost on top of them.

It was Vex that gave an alarmed bark and leaned to the side to get out from beneath the great aggressor, but Malennis’ mount pressed them further, forcing them nearer the shining sea.

“Back OFF!” Bani yelled into her facemask, but her words were lost to the wind. This asshole could have passed them by now, he could have gained airspeed to catch Nymbos. He would rather take her out now than win himself? No, he was far too proud. He thought he could drown her and have enough time to win.
A swarm of obscenities bubbled from Bani’s lips as she veered to the side again, having to dip a good ten feet lower to avoid a sweeping claw. Vexillion could have flown agile circles around the larger dragon were he not weighed down by the wooly cargo. As it were, they were being steadily forced lower, and the seafoam fogging Bani’s goggled was managing to rattle her. A key difference between her family’s dragons and the others, the difference that made them so light and nimble, had a glaring weakness.

Feathers got rather heavy when wet.
