Welcome to Gaia! ::

Both of them placed one hand on either of her shoulders and continued their stare. "Oh thats no fun." Idalla whispered.

Followed promptly by, "Wed much prefer to have a third friend up there." Then they both hoisted her up by her arms, each gripping tightly to one limb as they scuffled quickly towards the door.

"Of course you didnt mean it honey!" Idalla said as she pushed out the back door and into the yard.

"But we oh so desperately want a little stress reducer." Calcryx said as he stepped away from Idalla, leaving her to hold Niah alone while he prepped by stepping out into an open area and transforming.

Meanwhile, Idalla now gripped both of Nailah's arms behind her back, attempting to keep her in line. "I promise we wont drop you. To much."

Idalla's wings sprung from her back and she carried herself as well as Nailah up into the air with a few powerful flaps and floated over to Calcryx as he shook off his confining human form. "Now dont struggle to much unless you want to hit the dirt."

Calcryx spread his wings apart and crouched for liftoff as Idalla touched down onto his back, releasing Niah now and kneeling down just a second before the dragon would leap. "You may want to hold on!" The creature shouted as its wings swept towards the earth and its feet catapulted it into the air, flying up quickly.

The liftoff was surprisingly smooth, not a bit of bumpiness as the great scaled flyer took higher and higher up in a cool slow flapping motion that lent just barely any sway to his flight. "Oh dont be such a baby. Its just a little altitude!" Idalla said, breathing deeply the cool and pleasant air while standing up on Calcryx's back as the dragon's magic made him expand slowly to full size now that he was in the air. Walking slowly up his spine, using the large spikes down his back for balance now and again, she glanced back at Niah. "Theres no going back now!"

Calcryx grinned as wide as a dragon could as he craned his head around to watch Nailah suffer. "Then we'll get you down the fastest way we know!" Idalla leapt over the side of his massive form and dropped down a hundred feet or so before stopping to a hover, waiting. Calcryx twisted his body and spun in a tight circle, seemingly at an angle that would drop Nailah off his back, but left her sitting comfortably, now with a clear view of the ground far below to her left. After giving her a moment to watch the spinning earth, he tipped further and she slid right off, going down his long wing quickly and off into the air without any magical support. Below, Idalla lined herself up for the catch and braced for the sudden weight that would land in her arms.

"OOF!" Idalla shouted with mock exhaust. "Dang, be a friend and lose a little weight! Its easier on this old back." She laughed heartlessly as she watched the terror in her victim and looked up to the dragon that spun down through the air towards them. "Okay, you dont want to be dropped? Alright, Im going to take you up there. And hes going to carry you down safely." Going up to meet the descending dragon, she trailed behind him as he dipped his tail downward, dropping her with a plunk on his tail. "But you'll have to really hold on this time!" Was the last thing she said as she dropped away and the dragon's tail dipped further, letting gravity drag Nialah down its scaled surface.

"Let the old fuss know! Doesnt really matter." Idalla said as she circled Calcryx's tail out in the air.
"She's got better grip than we figured!" The dragon bellowed in accordance. Then snapped his tail sharply up, catapulting Nailah skyward, only to tumble down into Idalla's arms yet again. Then in a crisp flash accompanied with a crackling sound, Calcryx was replaced by a much smaller man in a robe, now with large wings who flew over to Idalla smiling. "You ready for the finale?"

Yet again, both of the humanoids held Nailah by one arm each, snickering as she yelped for mercy. "This is the end of it, I swear." Calcryx tried to console her as he grinned from ear to ear.

"Dont tell her that! It ruins the surprise!" Idalla responded angrily, as she watched Nailah half dangle from their arms, still squirming. "But cats out of the bag. Might as well give you a bit of advice." Leaning in, Idalla whispered one thing into Niah's ear. "Just relax, and let go of evertyhing."

Nailah's world went dark as Calcryx put a small spell across her sight to take away the visual terror. Then both of the fliers' wings vanished into the air, and all three dropped like stones, unslowed by anything. Gravity carried Nailah, all outside influences far away, drifing down to earth much as she was. Only the powerful rush of air across her told her what she didnt want to know.
