She handed it to him, eyes wary. She glanced towards the ground, though she could see no sign of the dragons.

Kye took the dagger and poured some sort of liquid on it. He then spun his torch and in a second it was lit. He held her dagger in the flames and it caught. Just the blade of her dagger was on fire now.
The Dilmars all shrieked. A creature like a monkey with tentacles fell from the tree.
Kye chose to ignore the sounds that were just made. He handed Hunter her dagger, and lit his dagger. "What just fell?" he asked looking at the thing that fell.
Hunter winced. "A Dilmar. They're ugly." She stood on the branch. "We need to leave. Dilmars only serve one master, and never do things by themselves. You were right. Something did want us to leave."
"Well, if they attack use your dagger, it'll burn for twenty minutes straight before the dilgo oil will burn out. Let's make our way too the dragons and get out of here," Kye said. He turned sharply when he heard one behind him. It shrieked and jumped away. "Let's move."
Hunter lept from the tree. She landed hard, twisting her ankle, but ignored the pain. She darted over to Magma and cut the ropes that bound her.
Kye leap after Hunter, landing in a roll, and cutting Cobalt loose. He mounted and took off.
Magma took off and flew in the direction of the tree in a burst of speed. Hunter winced, her ankle throbbing. She should have been more careful, but it was too late for that now.
Kye glanced back at the creatures climbing around the trees. He took out a rag and smothered the flame on his dagger. Then he turned so that he was facing back towards Hunter. Tossing the rag to her he called. "Use it to put out your dagger."
Hunter grabbed the rag and smothered the flames from her dagger, then tossed it back to him.
Kye caught it and placed it back in his satchel. He glanced back at her. "Are you hurt?"
Hunter shrugged. "Broken ankle. I've survived worse."
Kye nodded, he spotted a ledge sticking out from a cliff side. "Land there," he pointed to it, guiding Cobalt down to it.
Hunter shrugged and landed Magma on the ground. She started to get off, and winced as pain shot through her when she put weight on her bad foot.
Kye dismounted and walked over to her. "Survived worse, I'll believe. That doesn't mean we should ignore though." He crouched down to get a better look at it.
Sighing, she sat down on a rock.
Kye picked up a large stick and broke it in half, pulling a cloth from his satchel. He splinted her ankle. "That should work for now. Do you want to stay here for the night?"
Hunter shook her head. "No. I want to be out of this place as soon as possible. I've spent too much time here during my lifetime."
"Right, then we should get going," Kye stood up and walked back towards Cobalt. His satchel was still sitting next to Hunter.
Hunter stood up. "You left your bag thingy!" She called after him, reaching down to pick it up.
The satchel was very light, the only things in it were his torch, a little bottle of oil and the rock he'd picked up at the market. For its size it was light. Kye turned and walked back over to Hunter. "My bad, I gotta remember this. Thank you,"
Hunter gave him a sarcastic thumbs up and limped over to Magma.
Kye mounted again, and looked at Hunter. "Which way are we going?"
Hunter pointed towards the steadily rising sun. "That way until you see the ocean."
