You keep looking up, but nothing seems to be heading your way. Your neck is starting to object, but it doesn't matter. You must be ever vigilant, or so the saying goes. The Queen's Wing is an important position, but it sure can be boring... Part of you wishes you could be higher up, where all the action is. Part of you is grateful you're safer down here.
Sobeth had been so antsy that getting her up in the air had been the right choice....but also there was so little to do down in the Queen's Wing that it felt like it wasn't helping. We'll have something to do soon, I promise, Nua assured. But she liked how safe it was down here.
But safe wasn't what dragonriders were meant to do.

This clump of thread had its eye on you. It defied all the odds and made it through not one, but three wings of dragon riders actively fighting above! It's up to you to flame it!
As if spoken into existence by the mere thought of giving Sobeth something to flame, there it was! That bubble of rage inside of the green swelled up and she went sailing after it, belching flame to rend it to ash.

Once the groove was going, that wave of antsy restlessness was gone. It helped soothe Nua's nerves as much as seeing Sobeth relish in what she was born to do.

Your dragon is starting to feel tired. This particular fight is wearing them down. A strong gust of winds tries to throw them out of their position. Roll a D4 to see what happens!
After weeks of resting, Sobeth's stamina wasn't built for long spurts of speed like this. Slow down for a minute, Nua urged. Then, came the wind.

Neutral! Your dragon begins to be blown out of position, but fights it by giving a few powerful flaps of their wings. There. No one noticed anything out of place.
A few flaps of her wings kept Sobeth from blowing too far - perhaps fueled by that little bubble of anger in her chest. Nua knew it was soon, but hoooo she was not ready.

Neither of them did well with even a little free time, and it showed.

At the very least this meant they could catch a risky play in the making. Rhea narrowed her eyes, looking ahead at the pattern of Threadfall as it weaved between the wings...She didn’t like the look of a particular patch as it hurtled, barely winged by a rider above.
“Hold off!” Rhea called to Sheyoth and Elysia, angling away herself and telling Eirinth to be ready to jump. “Winds can’t be trusted right now, that one’s thick.”

As you're looking for the rogue Thread, you notice one of your wingmates in danger. You and your dragon call out warning and are lucky to see the pair respond. Quote a Wingmate and have all damage removed from their most recent roll!

Rhea helped by leaning into her dragon as they maneuvered choppy winds. If nothing else Threadfall really did make them fully appreciate the currents up high, even though they weren’t considered high altitude.

Rheasilvia squinted up above through her goggles. Hrm. The wind was getting fickle again...
Speed up a moment, sweet peach.
Eirinth didn’t hesitate to obey, but she made a questioning noise. It was soon answered as Thread divebombed through their previous location, faster as a plummeting rock. Rhea glanced back and made a mental note of its location for the land crew.

It was.. quiet. Khamaith's wings quietly flapped, though sluggish in their movements. The pair was adjusting to the pain, though persistent, it didn't quite send them into shockwaves once more.
Perhaps tempting fate.

Perhaps their tolerance for pain was beginning to build, for Khamaith barely reacted to thread slicing through her wingsails once more. It left little holes, too small to be detrimental, yet Ezyzu urged her quiet dragon Between once more to dull the burn.

Ash felt like the most undignified of hurts after all this, with three jams in her flamethrower causing them such pains. It produced a low groan from Khamaith, and Ezyzu heaped as much love and support as she could onto her lifemate. It would be okay, this fall was almost over.
75-79. As you catch a small patch of Thread, the wind blows the ash right back into you and your dragon, leaving them a bit burned! Whoops! Moderate Damage: -3 HP

Ezyzu shifted in her straps slightly, patting Khamaith's neck softly as they waited, almost eagerly, to sear down more thread. For the more thread they seared, the faster the fall would end.. right?
