"AKARI!!"
Noah screamed at the top of his lungs while desperately climbing farther up her enormous neck. His voice was almost completely swallowed by the raging storm.
CRACK!!
Lightning tore across the blackened sky.
ROOOOOAAAARRRRR!!!
Akari answered with a deafening roar. Her massive head suddenly swung to the side, dragging her long neck along with it.
"WHOA!!"
Noah's entire body was nearly thrown away. His stomach twisted violently as the world spun around him.
"Wait! Listen to me!!"
Of course, she didn't. Whether she couldn't hear him or simply couldn't understand him in her current state, Noah had no idea.
Akari abruptly changed direction again.
FLAP!!
Her enormous wings pushed against the storm. The sudden acceleration nearly ripped Noah from her neck.
"ARGH!"
His fingers screamed in pain. His right hand slipped.
"No!"
Noah immediately slammed it against another scale. Mana rushed toward his palm.
Crack!
