"Oh, he's . . . ," Ruffnut looked to the sky and licked her index finger, sticking it up and waving it around as if that would help anything, " . . . that way!" she pointed in the direction they'd just come from. "Were you close to him when they attacked?" Gojo asked. &...

The thought of going hungry was not appealing, and the idea of catching something himself when food was right in front of him was stupid, so Gojo took out his dagger and knelt beside the pile of fish to start gutting a few for the Vikings to cook. "I will not rest!" Tuffnut stamped his foo...

Raiju squinted one eye open at the sound of Javon’s voice, but Gojo gave no sign of acknowledgement. His breathing was even and steady. Not long after the twins had left, he’d dozed off. But his peace didn’t last long. Only a couple minutes later, the faint sound of flapping wings and the twins’ scr...

The Riders landed at the bank of a stream. Gojo slipped out of the saddle and arched his back with his arms above his head. Man, sitting for so long could be a real back-breaker. Meanwhile, Raiju trotted over to the stream and lapped up the water. Once everyone had stretched and watered their dragon...

"Even those useless bits of knowledge may come in handy. Never know what'll drive people bonkers," Gojo pointed out. He was flying slightly ahead of the others; although not at a quick pace so as not to lose them. Since they were going slow, Raiju had decided to flip upside down for the he...

Raiju let out a cry of frustrated disbelief as the Nightmare overcame him by a couple centimeters. Before he could rush forward, however, Gojo pulled him into a hover as well and started clapping. "Good game." There was an unmistakable undertone in his voice that said it was over. His drag...

Gojo look back to see Firelash rapidly approaching. He smiled a little. Good. He'd taken the bait. And it seemed the other Riders had joined in as well; although, they clearly weren't as locked in as the Nightmare that was torpedoing towards them. He turned his gaze back to Raiju. "Hey, do you ...

Gojo raised a hand to his forehead and saluted Javon. "Cap'n." A playful grin danced at corners of his mouth, but his eyes betrayed him. Thank goodness for glasses. He didn't need the other man feeling sorry for him or worrying about him. The past was in the past. Well, the best way to cle...

Gojo looked straight ahead and pursed his lips, considering his response. "Sometimes." A long stretch of silence followed that made him feel the need to explain further. "We were taught that if you were an upright person, the dragons would leave you alone. If you were wicked, the drag...
