A gust of wind swept them right into a cloud of hot ash that only seconds ago had been Thread, leaving them just a bit singed.

Seeing a wingmate in a similar situation as they had been in, Turoth called out to the dragon as Ar'ad locked in on the clumps of Thread. They wouldn't make it in time to flame all three of them, but they managed to get two clumps taken care of and their wingmate jumped Between to avoid the third.
Firith swooped after another patch of Thread and burned it to ash.

The little green kept up the good work, successfully flaming down still more tangles of Thread.

Ambrin and Beylith were still flying well, flaming their enemy with gusto despite the scores they’d earned throughout the day. It was almost over, not even an hour left, and soon they would descend to the bowl for a quick checkup, a good meal, and even better company. Brin laid a gloved hand over the pocket where Jackie’s mark was, giving it a fond pat.
Perhaps it was that he was distracted, or that the other rider was—but whatever the reason, the result was the same. Another dragon appeared close by, apparently forgetting to check where it had “landed” before releasing its flame. Beylith backwinged sharply, grunting with the effort of slowing himself, but still received the burst nearly full in the face. Ribbons of flame sprayed past on either side of the brown’s neck and chest, catching his rider as well. The man slapped at his burning clothes as they made the transfer into the cold deadness of between. He would have words with that rider later, even if he had to go through the Weyrwoman herself to get to them.
Ambrin knew something was terribly wrong the moment they reappeared in the light and fresh air. Beylith’s wings moved as if through water, far too slowly, their sails slack between limbs that were even now relaxing. Bey? The brown did not respond, and they were beginning to sink rapidly down toward the lower Wings. He yanked at the dragon’s neck strap with one hand and slapped an undamaged bit of hide soundly with the other, knowing even the hardest blow he could give would be but a tickle to the great beast. BEYLITH, STAY WITH ME!
The brown’s neck jerked, his eyes swirling with confusion and pain, but he couldn’t seem to hold his head up for more than a few seconds before sagging again. I… can’t see…
And then they fell.

Amidst pain, sudden influxes of Thread strands, and general anxiety, Eirinth latched on to the one hope she did have, the one job she felt up to the task for, whatever her body or rider said. In that moment, she became optimistically reckless. She had done well with her catches up until now, surely one more wouldn’t hurt. Let her do something, anything.
< Come to me then, sweet, brave— >
Beylith hit her like a boulder, and the rest was forced out in a breathless yelp as he slid off for another to catch. Eirinth’s strength left her in that moment, her wings relaxing into barely moving sails as they too fell. < Oh, > she had the energy to think weakly. < I’m so sorry...for the inconvenience... >
Stay with me! Rhea’s voice was as sharp as the tugs on their riding leathers, but the queen’s vision dimmed and flickered as they dropped, and she could barely rouse the strength to feel properly apologetic, let alone obedient.
She could already feel that new bruise forming on top of the rest. Would she be brown and blue and green instead of gold at the end? Oh dear...Perhaps it was a flippant thought, but Eirinth was sure even as they plummeted that it would be alright. Her Rheasilvia was more hardy than the mountains. A fall couldn’t possibly end her. As for Eirinth herself, a little shut eye sounded more and more appealing...

From the Queen's wing, Khamaith had watched as Eirinth rose to catch Beylith. Though her frame was racked with pain, duty still filled her hearts. Her instinct had wanted to rise after Beylith, though she was content to watch -- and watch in horror as not only Beylith rolled off Eirinth, but her fellow queen had begun to fall as well.
Love--
I must. Khamaith insisted, as she shot up after the light gold. She tried to line herself up to have a softer catch -- yet the adult gold fell on her ruined back like a rock where she had not braced herself. It lit her spine up like a wildfire, muscles cramping as she wailed. Where pain had made her vision waver slightly, it was rapidly darkening now as she tried, in vain, to reach to Eirinth with her claws as if in some failed attempt to catch her, but she was well beyond her reach.
I tried.. I'm sorry.. No, no, baby please, keep your eyes open-- I cannot.. I'm sorry.. A nap had never sounded so inviting... As her eyes slipped shut, she had only wished she could have her Baihath beneath her wing. She'd reached out, if inadvertently, to the one dearest to her hearts before the world went dark, and the pair fell as Ezyzu held as tight as she could.

All it took was a little n** of the tongue to cause Cyndreth to roar with irritation. The tongue was far too sensitive, considering it was surrounded by sharp dragon teeth. Ugh! It was distracting, the pain, but he knew he shouldn't be so bothered by such a small thing.
