THE BLUE FEATHER

“Wow, that was close!” Lena yelled.
“Now, let’s kill some beasts. Hand me another arrow, Lena,”
Jonathan told her as he released another deadly arrow.
Kuó began handing arrows and bolts to both Bardala and
Viviana. Bardala kept her bow firing arrows, but had to stop long
enough to keep the spears from striking the group. The
protective bubble worked both ways, while they would protect
you from incoming attacks, they also kept anyone from shooting
arrows outward. It took several more shots this time to bring the
beasts down out of the sky.
The beasts had their own protective metal armor that the
warriors had strapped onto their vulnerable chests and around
their eyes. However, the massive blocks of limestone that made
up the pyramid were getting stained with dinosaur blood, and
littered with bodies. The last of the flying attackers to be killed
had one lone warrior directing the beasts.
“Don’t kill the raptor!” Bardala yelled to her siblings.
“Why not?” Jonathan wanted to know as he lined up a good
shot.
“Aim for the rider and only wound him, we need their rides.”
“You mean...” Lena started to ask.
“We’re going to ride them, just like those men are doing!”
Bardala yelled as she hit the last warrior in his chest with an
arrow. She then raised her hand and stopped the raptor in
midair. As the last warrior’s body started to fall to the ground,
Viviana, thinking quickly, pointed her finger and slowly lowered
him to rest at her feet. Both Moka, and Eegh grabbed up arrows,
and held them to the man’s throat, afraid he still might attack
them.
