Sage ran out of the castle, breathing heavily, and smiled relievedly as her eyes met Katherine's widened ones.
"Katherine!" She yelled as she dashed down the stairs.
Katherine was perched atop a massive black dragon with sharp golden reptile eyes. Her eyes widened as she saw her friend, who was stunning and overjoyed to see her.
She jumped off the dragon, almost tripping over herself, but Sage arrived in time and embraced her tightly before she fell.
Katherine returned the hug without hesitation, closing her eyes. "Sage! I have missed you terribly." She expressed herself.
"I have missed you too, Katherine. So much has happened, I do not know where I should start from." Sage's eyes welled up with tears, and she closed them tightly to keep the tears from streaming out. She took a deep breath and hugged her friend tightly as they remained in the position for a long time.
