“Get onto my back,” Mortugal said. The three of them made their way towards Mortugal and a wounded werewolf tried to attack them. Amit kicked it on the head. They climbed onto Mortugal’s back.
Mortugal flapped his wings, ready to take off.
“She is with us!” Amit said, pointing at Breda, who was fighting with a werewolf furiously, trying to rip of its ears. Amit recognised Breda easily from the other wolves due to her dark brown fur.
“Is she?” Mortugal said. “Urgh!” A wolf had bitten Mortugal’s leg taking advantage of his distraction. Mortugal grabbed it with his claws and threw it away.
“She does want to come right?” Mortugal said.
“Hey Breda, come with us!” Amit called the she-wolf.
Breda looked towards them and froze for a moment, as though in a dilemma. She then turned towards the grey wolf, who hadn’t participated in the fight thus far. And then she abruptly turned and rushed towards Mortugal. She leapt, changed into her human form in mid-air, and climbed atop Mortugal in an instant.
“That was fast,” Amit said, while Breda panted furiously.
“Now that’s quite a load for my poor back,” said Mortugal, “but I guess I’ll manage it.” He flapped his wings and got airborne.
The werewolves below looked up at them angrily. Most of them were bleeding at some parts of their bodies, thanks to Mortugal and Breda— who was definitely a better fighter than many of the other wolves—, while some wolves lay unconscious. The grey leader was the only one who stood without a scratch.
“Breda, you are a traitor!” he shouted from down below.
“I promise I’ll end this war, sir,” Breda replied.
“Look,” Mortugal told the werewolves, “I never wanted to injure you, but you were attacking me. Now fix those wimps!” And he flapped his wings harder and shot to the skies.
“So, where are we headed?” Amit asked once they were high up amongst the clouds. Mortugal was flying rather fast despite the weight of the four passengers on his back, and he seemed pretty sure of where he wanted to go.
“To Dragonland,” Mortugal said.
“We’ll get there right?” Amit said. Ever since he had decided to help the vampires, Dragonland seemed where they were always headed.
“We will,” said Mortugal, “let’s hope.”

Thanks for reading the story. I hope you enjoyed it. If you didn’t, I am sorry, I tried. Be sure to leave a review on Amazon, as reviews are an indie author’s best friend. Praise me like I am Shakespeare or shoot me down with criticism. I’ll be thankful for both.
