8 Loving Danger

After the dragon spread its wings it gave one big flap which is all it took to get it high into the sky with Seth still attached to it leg. As the dragon was gaining height Seth thought to himself "(Looks like i really pissed it off this time, this should be fun.)" After the dragon had reach a certain height it began to the fly straight ahead with destination in mind. As the dragon was picking up speed the wind pressure increased with it. If there was on positive thing about everything that was happening it would be that Seth was really working out his new body's muscle to the limit. At this moment Seth was holding onto dear life cause if he let go at the moment he had the feeling that he would most definitely die. It was the that thought that was the only thing probably keeping him alive and it wasn't to crazy until the dragon decided to start doing special maneuvers.

That's right it started to do loops and barrel rolls. Seth couldn't help but complain "As if the wind pressure wasn't hard enough now you are doing this are you kidding me". As the dragon tried doing all kinds of maneuvers Seth at this time couldn't help but curse up a storm. However even during his current predicament he was thinking why getting on this dragon back was so impotant to it "I mean i know it really didn't want me on it back but now i really really know it doesn't want me on it back." A smile then appeared on Seth's face " However doing this just gives me a stronger urge to get on its back. I really can't help it, a part of me just really wants to go against it. In hind site i know i am acting like a child that just got told you can't do something and is doing it anyway and that it will be dangerous but a part of me wants to do it because it is dangerous. So, even with everything against me, i will use every muscle in my body to keep on climbing up and go against this dragons wish for me to fall"

With every reach of his hand Seth slowly kept on climbing and reaching closer and closer to the dragons back. Perhaps realizing that its method wasn't enough the dragon started reaching even faster speed. Along with that it started resorting to taunting. It started going on and on about how its laughable that Seth would even think he could achieve getting onto it back. Saying how he was weak,pathetic, a waste of a choice. It kept going on and on, and with every word Seth didn't feel upset but instead encourage to prove it wrong so he kept up with his climbing with the only reward on his mind was shoving the dragons word right back down into its throat.

At one point while Seth was climbing his hand slipped off from its grip from all the sweat he had accumulated from pushing himself leaving him dangling on one arm with all his weight including the wind pressure. With a grunt Seth tried to get his other hand back on the dragons body. At this point Seth was on its shoulder so close to the finish line. However he was beginning to lose strength in his arm. As his body was screaming in pain from going against the wind pressure Seth though to himself about his current situation "It looks like i pushed my body more than it could handle, did I get to ahead in myself". As soon as he second guessed himself other thought began to sprout within his mind. Some of them being part of him that wanted to give up, to just let go and accept that he bit off more than he could chew and as the time ticked by second by second this voice was getting louder and louder with every second until finally Seth hand started slowly began to slide off.

As his hand started to let go time seemed to slow down for him. Something in Seth knew that once he let go their would be no second chance. Then many questions seem to rapid fire off in his mind. The first questions to fire off where the simple one like "whats the purpose? Is it worth it? Will i really die?" then came the complicated ones "Why did i say yes? Why did Freya chose me? Will she be disappointed if i died this early or would she move on to find some one else?" More and More questioned started to form until one started to stick out from the rest and it started drowning the other questions. This question was both simple and yet complicated at the same time. It was "Can i accept this?". "Can i accept letting that lizard win, can i accept letting down Freya, can i accept not being able to go on amazing adventures as a Reaper. As that question formed in his head an answer also appeared and that answer was

"NO"

Seth screamed "Like hell i'm was going to give up now and like hell i'm going to let anyone get in the way of what i want to do especially some giant lizard like you". Once he answered that question some kind of unknown energy seem to come from within him. As he felt the energy Seth thought "I don't know what this is but if there was one thing i was sure of it was I liked it." When this energy stated forming Seth reached out his hand once again trying to grab back on, but he couldn't reach he had fallen to much. As his body was slowly getting farther and farther away all he could think in his mind was to reach and grab hold with all he had then he blacked out for a second for some reason.

When he woke up Seth found himself back onto the dragons shoulder with his finger some how punctured into the tough skin of the dragon letting some blue blood leak out. At this moment there wasn't time for questions so he focused on what he was trying to accomplish so he started climbing even faster then before with the only thing in his mind to get onto that back. At this point the dragon let out the loudest roar Seth have heard since meeting it and along with that roar Seth could feel it unleashing all its anger then all of a sudden Seth began to realize that the dragon was starting to turn. Realizing the dragon was going to try something else Seth made sure to have a firm grip and be prepared for whatever came next. What came next though was the dragon started fly straight up. It was now trying to use both the gravity and the wind pressure to go against him.

Seeing what the dragon was doing he knew that he needed top hurry or else he would run out of strength again and fast. So he just focused all his attention on climbing and ignored everything else. He kept on repeating in his mind "left, right" with every reach of his hand until suddenly he saw he reached his goal. He had finally made it onto the back of the dragon. Something that seems so simple to be said in a few word but it took all he had to accomplish it. As he realized that he accomplished his goal all he could do was laugh, he just kept laughing more and more with increased vigor and volume as the feeling of accomplishment began to set in. After a minute he stopped and looked at the head of the dragon who had stopped flying up and was now flying in a straight line, on its face even a dragon you could see both a despising and depressed look on it. When Seth saw that look he gave the biggest grin and said " I win"
