Subject: +Thread will whither+

The Green launched herself from the cliffside, and rose into a vertical climb, her massive pinions scooping wingfuls of air, and throwing it to the side. Raen crouched forward, watching the blazing sky above. Piryth needed no urging to continue upward in their climb, but Raen could sense the Green's strokes becomeing shorter.
She said in her Green's mind Piryth go Between it's faster.
{That's a negative my dear rider...}
Raen sighed, she was in for a ride. She grabbed tighter to the riding straps, and wasen't to terribly suprised when her Green rose through the Thread's path, scorching the few that dropped around her. She then turned a neat somersault and dived folding her massive leathery wings and then sent out a wave of flame.
The Thread that was her target whithered and became ash to fall hatmlessly, but there was still work to be done!
Raen clenched her teeth at the thrill of holding death by the horns, but she wasen't going to let her Green become reckless as she was being.
After Piryth had turned a somersault and flame a silver strand of Thread inches from her dial Raen jerked the Green into reality Piryth, don't be so reckless!
{Who is?}
Just be more careful.
The Thread flaming continued, and soon Raen was becoming exhausted, and only held on to her Green's riding straps with one hand.
Just then, Piryth dived and Raen toppled, grasping desperatly for a hand hold, but her hands clutched empty air, and she fell.
Piryth felt the sudden release of weight, and saw er rider fall.
Time seemed to stop as the Green dove, and plucked the girl from her freefall with a deft talon. Piryth's cool rwply to the accident was {Who's being carless?}
Raen breathed hard, and with slight help from Piryth remounted in midair.
Then the Thread paid desperatly..
Between....the cold brought new resolve into both Dragon and rider and the battle continued, both in for the long haul.
Piryth swerved and felt the tail of a passing Thread dig into her wing, and she let out a shriek. Raen was on it right away digging into her pocket for a small vial of numbweed. She leaned over her Green's pinion and slathered the numbing medicine on the affected part of the wing.
