Brixaby suddenly dived, and for a terrible moment, Arthur felt his rear lift off the dragon's scaly neck.

"Brix!" he yelled, clutching desperately at the ridge in front of him and used the strength of his legs to pull himself back down.

Arthur couldn't quite catch what Brixaby called back to him, but it sounded something like, "If you fly with me, be prepared for surprises."

He managed to regain a firm seat before the dragon leveled out of his dive.

At least he got another dragon riding skill out of it.
