Cloud Cover

By Meyari McFarland

The mission went wrong from the beginning. Leto and her messenger dragon Cloud Song were left scrambling to make sure that the plans they'd stolen from the enemy camp made it home to their commanders. At first, Leto thought that their team would be able to get out together.

Then a patrol found them and Leto had to flee on Cloud Song's back. If they could just distract the enemy dragons then their team might survive. Leto directed Cloud Song ever higher into the sky in hopes that they could lure the pursuit away.

Cloud Cover is a tense fantasy adventure set in an alternate ancient Greece with dragons.

Cloud Cover

Enter the stream! Leto sang even though her head was swimming from hyperventilation.

This time Cloud Song launched herself higher instead of dipping down. Behind them all the dragons screamed. They sounded of horror instead of anger at losing their prey. Leto grinned. She heard something that reminded her of an earthquake rumbling through the earth and tucked her head down over her hands.

Let it work, Leto whispered. Please let it work!

The wind hit like being slammed into by a wall except the wall was moving, moving so much faster than Cloud Song and Leto. She screamed, breath hot then cold over her frigid fingers. Drawing in breath was almost impossible. The air was too fast, hitting her back too hard.

'Breathe!' Leto thought. 'Breathe, you stupid girl!'

This story is dedicated to one of my greatest inspirations as a writer: Anne McCaffrey for her Dragonriders of Pern stories. They obviously had an impact on me as a writer.
