Faris made his way down the steep slope as evening set. He glanced up at the, now, moonlit sky. He was looking for Furi, but he’d scarce had a chance to see her in the night. He breathed steadily as he controlled his moments. It was a new experience doing something dangerous, in his own mind this time. Finally, he made it to the bottom, and could see the dragon cages. He huddled beside some rocks and turned towards the towers. 
Furi’s attack on the camp would be his signal to start freeing the dragons.

Furi circled above, bracing herself. She had to be perfect. Taking a deep breath, she dove. Her wings whistled, and the dive bombed the first tower.
She heard the startled cries of the hunters scattering and yelling. She turned and took a look. It hadn’t toppled yet. But she had to move around to make sure it was distracting enough.
Turning again, she dive bombed the second tower.
Oct 26, 2019
Faris scrambled from his position behind the rocks, and practically did a belly slide as his tumbled over to the first cage.
Not as graceful as I once was…
He fumbled with the locking mechanism for a second, and then undid it, letting the gears turn. He pried open the door and ushered the dragons captured inside out. 
I’ll have to be quick! There are only two towers left and once Furi is done their attention will turn back to me!
Oct 26, 2019
Furi continued circling the towers, creating as much of a ruckus as she could. She even shot a few empty tents to try to get them on those. She was running a little low on firepower.
She also had to be careful not to be seen too much. She couldn’t afford to keep a pattern they could predict.
Furi did note a dragon leave in another direction, flying away as fast as it could. Farris was doing his part.
Oct 27, 2019
Faster! Faster Farris! She’s already having to find other targets!
Abandoning stealth and putting his full trust in the assumption that all eyes would be on Furi, Farris sprinted for the next cage and flung it open. He stripped away any further restraints the dragons might have had, praying to the gods none of them panicked and bit him.
It was fast, but also felt like an eternity as he finally made it to the last cage and hurled it open.
Oct 27, 2019
Furi heard some noises and saw something whizz past her. She turned up, startled. They were shooting at her. All it would take is a lucky shot.
She had to save the rest of her firepower, but she roared and circled again, hoping the humans would remain distracted.
Farris. She had to get Farris. She turned and began to dive into the clearing, noting that she was more visible as she did so with the glow of the fire. She spotted him crouching in the canyon, staring up at her. Hoping he was ready, she grabbed him in her claws and took upwards quickly.

Faris instinctively wrapped his one arm around her leg and used the other to draw his sword. “To the leaders tent!” He declared. “We must take them unawares before the other hunters catch up!”
Oct 27, 2019
“Right.” She puffed, turning for the large tent. She saw large man outside it, a frown on his face, immediately followed by a startled look when she set Farris down and landed behind him.
Oct 27, 2019
Farris immediately brought up his sword to the mans chest. “Hold villain!” He said. “You know well dragon hunting is not permitted in these lands! Answer our questions and we’ll see your arrest in a peaceful manner.”
Oct 27, 2019
The hunter huffed. “And who are you, w dragon rider or something? I ain’t answering to the likes of you. But please, stick around and we’ll take you and your beast. Night furies are pretty valued in some markets.” He laughed.
Furi snarled, baring her teeth and lashing her tail. How dare he.
Oct 27, 2019
“We are but two adventurers seeking to remedy the past. Your men are putting out fires on the other side of the camp and trying to recapture your haul of dragons. A night fury you have wrong is at your back and my blade is at your heart.” Farris leaned forward earnestly. “Now this shall be your last chance to cooperate peacefully. Agree to our terms!”
Oct 27, 2019
The hunter growled in frustration. “Fine. What do you want?”
Furi growled and bared her teeth. She very much wanted to kill this man. But she let Farris handle the situation.
Oct 27, 2019
Farris looked between her and the hunter, and then puffed out his cheeks. “Night Furys are rare. I want a charter of all the ones you’ve captured in the last…” He glanced towards Furi, wondering how long ago her brothers capture had been.
Oct 27, 2019
“2 years.” She growled. “You took him two years ago.” She snarled, furious and took steps forward, staring at the man.
“Where is he?!” Furi roared, barely keeping control.
Oct 27, 2019
Two years…oh boy…I hope these scoundrels bothered to keep that level of paperwork…
Farris cleared his throat. “You heard the lady. All night furys taken two years ago. And what became them.”
Oct 27, 2019
For the first time, the hunter was looking nervous. “Ah well, we have buyers in many lands who enjoy having night fury hides and well, you’d have to be more specific. All them critters look the same, ya see.”
Furi growled. “He could talk. Like me.”
“A chatty one? Uh yeah, there’s been one like that. Can’t forget the beast. Made quite a mess… uh sold him a month after we got him. No idea where he is now. Whoever bought him didn’t give much information.” The hunter stammered.
Oct 27, 2019
Farris met Furi’s eyes and then grunted as he put his sword away. “You’ll have to do better than that sir. An anonymous supplier perhaps, but a buyer? No…the gold must come from somewhere reliable in order for a sale to be arranged. Whatever information you have, however little, we will need it presently.”
Oct 27, 2019
“Yes, please.” Furi grumbled, stalking forward. “You and your men had my brother, and I want him back. You’d better spill all the information you can, or you’ll be spilling something more physical.” She bared her teeth and scraped long furrows in the ground with her claws.
The hunter clearly had decided that he didnt want to die to such a ticked off dragon and nodded. “Yes yes, I may be able to find some record somewhere in my tent. Let me look.” He began to back into the tent, keeping nervous eyes on the two in front of him.
Oct 28, 2019
Faris kept in pace with him to ensure he didn’t try anything funny, and ducked into the tent with him.
Oct 28, 2019
Furi peeked her head in, watching as the hunter grabbed a crate full of papers and started looking through it. Took him a few minutes but a paper he pulled out looked promising. “Ah here we go. A fella in the south bought him. Lives in Andaar forest somewhere. Paid a lot of money too.”
Oct 28, 2019
Farris snatched the paper, keeping a wary eye on him. “A talking night fury in Andaar forest…not a bad start. What did he look like?”
Oct 28, 2019
The hunter shrugged. "Wore a mask and cloak. Said he preferred going anonymously. Only name he'd give is The Indigo Phantom. A real kook, he was. That's all I got for you." He told them, grabbing the paper back.
Furi drooped slightly.
“A name…and a location…and a target.” Farris looked to Furi in hopes of raising her spirits. “That’s more than we had at the start of his journey.”
He motioned that they should leave. “I’d see you arrested myself trapper.” He told the man. “But my companion and I must move swiftly. I trust our report of your operations and your ill luck tonight will lead to your lawful arrest.”

Furi bared her teeth at him.
“And if he’s not found alive, I’ll be back.” She turned to Farris. “Let’s get out of here. I’ll carry you and we’ll fly. Now that there’s some hope,” she turned and left the tent. “We can go faster.” She saw that nearly all the fires were out, and some of the hunters were coming in their direction.
“Perhaps we should go speedily.”

“Agreed,” Farris huffed as he allowed her to secure his arms and take off. “Let us find the nearest village within that forest, and ask about for our mysterious masked friend.”
