Raph could see first hand the power of a dragon. It began shouting and soon enough shot a torrent that neatly split a minivan in half. No doubt Vandubad was finally seeing his enemy again and was furious at the fact that Usere was still free to roam the land. In a way, Usere was still one of the freer deities even in this ice age. Nothing can root out being a liar in human nature, no blizzard could eliminate the story teller within a creative human, no amount of snow could deter a hungry thief. Nuanen could physically hold Usere in check but her ideals live on in every human being, her influence still spreads to every newborn child, planting in them the seed of being a trickster. They all come out in varying degrees but the end result is still the same, Usere had touched them.
The force of the roar cracked the sky and unhinged a few of the dragon's scales as well. More came apart as the dragon suddenly bolted into the sky after Usere or the image of goddess in his head at least. Raf had to maintain that image but he also had to keep an eye on things that happened in the real world. It was like sleeping with one eye open.
The G forces nearly shook him off the dragon but he held on tight to a scale and prayed that it didn't tear off so soon. The wind all around him was deafening as the dragon began picking up speed to catch the goddess that was mocking him in his head. Each little insult added more pressure to the gas pedal of the dragon, soon enough Raf could steer the dragon into a building or straight onto the ground.
He had time to think about it while he enjoyed his ride. It wasn't every day one could ride a dragon and he needed a little physical touch of Usere's magic. He felt like a child again, soaring through the clouds on the back of a legendary beast that was likely to eat him if he gave his presence away. It didn't matter, there was still magic in this frozen wasteland. It was particularly cloudy overhead so Raf's curiosity was sparked and he made Usere bolt up past the clouds. The dragon followed suit and broke the clouds as well, the sunlight streaming into his face as he saw that the blue sky was his only companion here in above the clouds. Raf didn't certainly expect the clouds to be soft though, even at intense speeds he was enjoying his time on the dragon's back.
Raphael, I believe...nevermind. I shall leave you to your magic.
The voice of Usere entering his head shook him out of his amazement. As thrilling as this all seemed they had a dragon to put down. At the very least Raf experienced in a once in a life time event, no more like once in eternity. He had his fun and now it was time to dive back down into the harsh icy reality below. He made the image of Usere drop suddenly and the dragon flew down to follow the goddess blowing kisses his direction. Then as they neared the ground Raf braced himself for the impact of the dragon diving head first onto the street once more.
It occurred to him that he may just be facing the monster alone. He hadn't really thought out the landing point amid all his excitement and amazement at riding a particularly pissed lizard. He had to have faith in his abilities and dispelled the image of Usere from the dragon's mind. Just in time to have it see the solid pavement that it would abruptly crash into. Sure enough the mental image of the goddess dropped and so did the dragon but to the Vandubad's mind it was still as though he was chasing the goddess across open skies. Raf wondered at how much confusion the dragon must experiencing when the skies were instantly shifted to frozen concrete. Raf had a migraine after he dispelled the image of Usere but now was not the time to entertain such things, a dragon was more pressing than a migraine after all.
He braced for the fall.
