Eclipse soared high above the ships beneath her. At a nod from her rider, she descended down to the vessels below.
"Trader Johann"
"Mrs Katla Skardottir, a pleasure to see you! After the hunters attacked your father, I feared the worst. Wrongly, of course, I need never worry about your wellbeing."
Katla bit her lip, she had only shared this next piece of info with her dragon. "Well-" She was cut off by the sound of a dragon landing behind her.
"Trader Johann. Mrs Katla Skardottir." The rider gets off his dragon and bows. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Erp Steinolf Gunnisson the fourth and this is Mudhunter." He gestured to his Deadly Nadder.
"Erp! How is Gunni doing?"
"Not well he has fallen ill."
"How perfectly dreadful! I remember once when we were young-" Katla sighed and mounted Eclipse, taking off into the sky. A son of Gunni! Chief of the Runderlands! She shook her head, trying to clear it.
"Katla!" Oh no. "What's your dragon's name?" She abruptly decided to hate him. The last Gunnisson she met had immediately asked her to wed him!
"Eclipse." She stated.
"That's a cool name." Well, I guess he isn't as bad as Finn Gunnisson, but he's competing with Hallberta Gunnidottir.
"Thanks."
"Where are you going?"
"Why would I tell you? I'm not stupid!" she snapped.
"Why do you hate me?"
Katla scowled.
"Listen to me! My father has fallen ill and our healer died three months ago. Does the Highlands have a healer we can borrow?"
"I ran, flew, away two years ago! Who knows if they have a new healer?" she hissed
"Why would it be a new one? What about the one you had before?"
"Good day to you." Katla turned Eclipse away and dove right into the water. In the middle of nowhere. Erp stared for a few seconds, then dove in after her.
