Red Like Ruby (Mostly RubyxDyrroth)

Ruby Fell Into the Abyss part 3

"Shouldn't you be hugging me instead of the lizard?" 

"I'm calling you Skywynne because you're blue and you can fly in the sky." Ruby declared to the beast once she pulled away. The wyvern seemed to be pleased by his given name since he rubbed his face against her cheek in affection. 

"Shouldn't you be naming him with a Demonic name like Dormos or Mephistopheles since he's Abyssborn?"

"He's mine so I get to name him. Come on let's go to where you're taking me already." Ruby said as she tried to mount the saddle with great difficulty due to the wyvern's height. 

"You're being too hasty. It's almost not like you but it's very cute. I find it charming to see more sides of you." Dyrroth commented as he helped her up on the saddle before mounting behind her and grabbing the reigns to control the beast. 

He whipped the reigns and the dragon took flight making the maiden yelp as her back collided with his chest. Dyrroth secured his hold on his wife as the wyvern ascended through the smoke and fog of the Abyss. 

It took a solid five minutes before they were able to leave the chasm. Ruby was still a bit traumatized considering where her last flight ended but also because of her little fear of heights. She's not really afraid of high places but of the thought of falling however, Dyrroth was able to somehow... make her feel safe in his hold. 

They flew over the crack of the Abyss towards the fading light of the horizon. The look of joy on Ruby's face is unparalleled as she finally got a glimpse of the sky, a smell of the fresh breeze, and temporary freedom from the Abyss. She spread her arms as Dyrroth led the wyvern over the ocean where towering islands protrude from the water. He maneuvered the dragon through the obstacles and did a spin to add some flair making her scream and laugh at the same time. 

After a few more tricks to impress the girl, Dyrroth allowed the dragon to glide softly over the water. Ruby leaned down and the demon held her waist to keep her in place as she dipped her hand on the water. She was startled when a dolphin suddenly popped out of the water before diving back followed by more of its majestic kind. A cute laugh escaped her lips as they ride over the sea while a pod of dolphins plays about around them. Surprisingly a few mermaids and mermen also joined in around them giggling merrily with their odd visitors and splashing them with water.

"Oh Dyrroth, look at them. They're beautiful!!" Ruby exclaimed in amazement. 

"Yeah, they're alright but you're much more marvelous." flirted the demon which was only ignored by the girl who was too distracted by her surroundings. 

Ruby indulged her eyes with their wonderful appearance and harmonious voices. Their tails are very vibrant and colorful making her amazed. One cute looking mermaid waved at them happily before using her powers and ordering the water to make an arc over them. The other merfolk also copied this and soon enough they are flying under a beautiful tunnel of water arcs. 

"Wow, they're very cooperative. This is so romantic." Dyrroth commented wrapping his arms around a very happy Ruby. 

When they reached the end of the arcs, a beautiful red-tailed mermaid threw a clam at Ruby's direction which she successfully caught. 

"Thank you!" Ruby happily waved them goodbye as the mermaids started diving down from the surface. 

"Up we go." Dyrroth announced ordering the wyvern to take them higher. 

It was already sunset; painting the sky and the clouds with warm summer colors and Ruby couldn't help but marvel at the serene look of the heaven that seems to accept both of them its comforting embrace. Excitement and immense happiness dominate her chest as she relished the smell of the breeze and the feeling of freedom completely forgetting about her company.
