Thalia panted lightly a her fist connected with the Dragon's scaly hide, feeling her arm quake a bit. Ooph, she was going to have a few bruises on her hand tomorrow... But, there were more pressing matters right now. Thalia watched as the Dragon raised it's head, looking rather annoyed at her actions. "Yes, and a great General at that! You know nothing of me or who I am, you have no right to claim that I cannot become anything I wish!" Thalia screamed back, anger still boiling inside her, "I care not of who found me, only that you are the only thing between me and my freedom, and I will destroy you if it means returning ho-" Thalia was cut short, the wind being knocked out of her small form by a rather thick, scaly tail. The world lurched around her, and before she knew it, the little girl was soaring towards the clouds. She fought desperately to keep from losing her lunch, being lurched around as the dragon took to the skies. Before Thalia could fully grasp what exactly was happening, she was suddenly falling headfirst towards the earth! The wind stung at her eyes, and fear stabbed at her heart. The ground almost seemed to be rising up to meet her, and for the second time in minutes, Thalia looked death in the eye. She heard the dragon roaring over the wind, and saw the claw outstretched to her... But she smacked it away, glaring at the dragon. The action pushed her away a bit, but still within grabbing distance. She was keeping to her word. She would rather die than be forced in to being the Dragon's charge.
