Desperate measures

'Is there really nothing that I can do?' I thought, watching how the Dragon flapped its wings only to turn into just a single dot of black in the vast, blue sky. 

If I allowed my momentum to carry me away, there would be no way for me to get back to the city in time. Yet, stuck in mid-air and without any wings to make the difference, what could I actually do?

'Should I just give up?' I thought, my eyes moving towards the direction I was moving in. 'It did threaten to attack Mia after all. Even if it does it again, there will be nothing I can do instead of rushing after it again,' I thought.

My instinct told me to bite my lips... But I was moving too damn fast for even a single muscle of mine to twitch. 

'How the hell am I supposed to do anything now?' I thought, despair starting to kick in.
