Blizzard shook his head at her before making a gesture for her to turn around. “I’m going to change” he explained because the next moment he had striped down again, stuffing his clothes in the bag and tossing it to Ava. “Carry that for me. Only a fair exchange.” With that he sunk down as his body stretched and grew until once more he was the white dragon with the faint rainbow shine. He shook himself down as if casting off water and then barked to signify his readiness to go.

He waited for her to get upon his back once more and situate herself though it took quite a bit of patience on his part. Once he was certain she wouldn’t go tumbling off on take off he launched. With a few swift flaps he’d caught up with the nadder, startling the poor think by bursting past it- it squawked and momentarily lost it grip on flight due to its alarm before righting itself and turning back towards the island. Blizzard laughed low in his throat and drifted lazily to high altitudes.
