Aella grasped Arad's neck, feeling the violent wind blowing on her hair, "ARAD!"
"Don't worry. I'm keeping you on my back with Gravity magic." Arad turned his head toward her.
Aella held tighter, "What about the rope and rug?" She searched around.
"They are behind you. I missed the hit."
Aella looked behind her. The rug hugged Arad's back with the rope around it.
Aella let go of Arad's neck, her arms shaking as she looked back. She grasped the rug and rope and pulled them toward her. "What should I do?"
"Sit on the rug, tieing the rope around my neck," Arad slowed his flight. He hovered with weak flaps as Aella started working.
"Like this?" Aella folded the rug twice and sat on it after wrapping the rope around Arad's neck and using it like a leash.
"Yes." Arad turned his head, glaring at her, "I can know you are sitting on my back, but I can't feel your touch on my scales. They are like armor."
Aella glanced at the rope and then at Arad's head. "You don't mean!" She gasped.
