Riding the Zilant
Helka crouched upon the frozen mountain peak, watching her Zilant soar beneath her on red gold wings, proud scaled head tilted toward the double suns. Helka gave the low, long whistle that would summon Nikeet to her side. Helka mounted and together they surveyed the glittering kingdom below.
It was time for change. Rescuing distressed damsels and winning endless wars had long been the purview of men, but for Helka and Nikeet it was rote. The last enemy had fallen, peace reigned once again.
They swooped into the encroaching twilight, it was time to remind them who was in charge.
