《A Dragon Rider's Element》I Hate Plants ( 19 )
Advertisement
The ringing in my ears faded as Alex helped me up. I tried to get my legs under me but my legs couldn't support me and I fell into Alex's arms.
"You okay," he asked.
"I'll be fine," I said as I steady myself and tried to stand again.
This time my legs didn't give out thankfully.
"You don't look fine," Roy stated.
"Then don't look."
"Hey just trying to help, "Roy said putting his hands up in defense.
I shrugged.
"Nice timing," I said.
" Thanks, but next time you have to save us," Alex said.
"Let's hope there won't be the next time." Ray chimed in.
"Agreed," I said. " Do you know where the others are?"
"No. Up until now, we thought they were with you." Alex said blankly.
"I'm sure they're fine. Ty can handle himself just fine and Jason has his dragon if he's not with Ty." Roy spoke.
"Let's hope," I said worriedly.
"Come on will have a better shot at finding them if we look from the higher ground."
"Yay let's."
We mounted our dragons and took off into the sky.
"Athena can you smell Ty."
"No. I can't smell anything."
"What do you mean?"
"All I can smell is something sweet... I can't tell what it is but it's everywhere.
"Great."
I looked down at the ground trying to find anyone but I saw nothing but burning building.
Then a golden dragon caught my eye. I called to the others and we landed.
I scanned the area for Ty. Finding him wiping the Black blood off his face.
He stopped when his eyes found me. He smiled as he walked to me.
"Good to see you but you look hell." He said.

"Wow thanks," I said sarcastically.
"I'm kidding." He said."Are you alright?"
"I've been better." I said shrugging.
He was about to respond when he was cut off by the flapping of wings.
I looked up and saw Jason's dragon, Grey. Grey landed and Jason dismounted.
"Larisa I've been wondering where you've been," Jason said smirking at me.
I heard Ty rolled his eyes as Jason walked up to us.
"Hey, Jason good to see your not dead," Roy said waving at him.
" Larisa the smell its back. It's coming from under the ground." Athena yelled.
The ground shock. Then black vines shoot from the dirt and the creature climbed out of the cracked earth.
"Get back", Ty yelled.
We all ran as the creature fully spouted from the earth.
"What the hell is that," Ray shouted.
"A Snaptrapper," Ty said his glaring at the deadly plant.
"What's the plan?" Alex asked.
"Stay away from its vines and hit its weak spots," Ty answered.
"What's its weak spot?" I asked.
He was quite as he looked at me weirdly.
"You don't know, do you? ", Jason said angrily.
"I've never fought this creature before it's one of the newer breeds. Just try to find its weak spots and stay away from the vines." Ty said drawing his sword.
"Great we're going to die." Jason said waving his sword in the air angrily.
"Just shut up and fight" I yelled.
I drew my sword. Jason charged the devil plant and the wines acted like whips. The vines hit him in the chest and he flew back into Roy hitting the wall.
"What did I say", Ty yelled at him.
"Fuck you", Jason yelled back as he slumped against the wall.

Roy let out a groan as he lay on the ground.
"Oh great," Ty said as he ran over to the unconscious Roy.
This day just keeps getting better. I thought as the Black vines shoot at me. I raised my sword and cut them off. The hell plant scarmed and opened up its petals. In the center of it, a yellow orb hang.
"Alex I have an idea," I said.
"Okay what is it," He asked cautiously.
"Do you trust me."
"No."
"Smart man."
"What's the plan, genius," He sighed.
"I let it eat me."
" That's is a terrible, horrible, incredibly stupid idea .... let's do it.
"Give me a boost."
He nodded and we ran at the Snaptrapper we cut off the vines that attacked us. We got to the petals of the plant. Alex dropped and motioned for me to use his back as a step-stool. I jumped into the plant and it closed its petals, but not before I heard Ty desperately call out to me.
"Larisa, what are you doing?"
"I have a plan, Athena."
I raised my sword and tried to stab the yellow orb but in the closed area, it was hurt to reach. Then a dark bubbly liquid started to fill my plant prison.
Acid.
I kicked at the orb then threw my sword at it. The blade pierced the orb and black blood spared out at me. The petals folded back and spilt me out.
I sat on the ground crossed legged cover in black blood.
Everyone was quiet as they stared at me, but Jason was the first to speak.
"You know all that blood looks good on you it really brings out your eyes," Jason said winking at me with a smirk.
"Jason! Just please shut up!", Ty yelled at him before facing me and continuing to yell. "What were you thinking. You could have gotten hurt or worse." He cried out.
"Chill Ty it's okay. I'm fine" I said standing up.
Pain shot up my leg as I did. I missed out in pain. I looked down at my foot and saw that it was already starting to swell.
"What's wrong?" Ty questioned his attitude changing from angry to worry in an instant.
"Nothing, I just twisted my ankle. I'm fine."
Ty examined my foot and in one swift movement he picked me up bridal style in his arms.
"No your not."
"Ty put me down its just a sprained ankle."
"No."
"Ty, please put-
"No."
"I hate you." I groaned.
Ty then started carrying me back to the infamy.
"That was probably the most stupidest thing I have ever seen Larisa."
"Oh, I don't need a speech from you too."

Ph. D. In Sorcery
Follow Anastasia, the unlucky physicist turned wizard, as her reality gets turned upside down and she is plunged into a world of gods, magic, swords, and adventure. Short and sweet description, anything more would be a spoiler and I detest those. Now, what you can expect from reading: This is my first time writing, or better said allowing someone else to read that mess so don’t raise your expectations too much. Still, I will try to keep the story flowing, while also devoting as much time as I can to editing. In my opinion, the story is written at a faster pace than normal with time skips here and there. I will do my best to not allow the faster pace to ruin the story by using those time skips to raise the skill of the main character. I am mainly looking for feedback while I test myself in new and unexplored waters. I did put a lot of thought into worldbuilding and the magic system, it is something that has been mulling inside my head for years before I sat down to write anything down. First and foremost I am an engineer and not a writer. I will try to do my utmost to make the world logical and consistent, but sometimes I might not express that in a way that’s clearly understood. I have a rough outline with several possible endings, but the story will change and evolve as I do. But in case I have to stop for whatever reason, the story will get an ending. It will be done even if I have to send coded messages from a bunker. I am a big fan of the Dresden Files so you can be certain that everything mentioned will in most cases be used, with a few red herrings sprinkled in the mix. But that also means I will enjoy putting the main character through the meat grinder while I eat popcorn and laugh from my evil lair. Physics, and to be more precise electromagnetism, quantum field theory, general and special relativity are very interesting topics for me that I research in my spare time. That means that the premise of the story will be using that research to bring logic to magic. Stupid I know, magic is magic, but to me, there is no reason why there shouldn’t be a concrete set of rules there. But it is still magic and that allows me to play with some things that shouldn’t normally be possible. I will focus on evolving the main character and having her react as anyone normal would, from my perspective. There will be scenes of battle, gore, and sexy times, but I will not go into too many details, counting on your imagination to fill the gaps. There will be plenty of combat, even battles ranging from a few dozen, a hundred, and thousands of participants. I could go on but there isn’t much to say that would convince anyone to read, either you thought the title was cool or you liked the poster. Or not, but after several days in photoshop, that’s the best I could do. And the title was originally Sorceress with a Ph.D. The new one makes a little less sense but I like the ring of it more for some reason. I just hope someone enjoys what I write as much as I do. In the end that is the reason, I am doing this, because I enjoy putting my thoughts on paper and seeing the outcome. Credit for the art: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/e0o8nw
