Aeolus
Air Dragon | Male | Mentions: Troy Droit, Asmodeus, Nirmala, Orva

Indirectly: Mircea, Julien, Alexa, Tyrus

A yawn emitted from the dragon. He had been curled up in his makeshift hideaway and blinking his sapphire eyes slowly began to open. Aeolus moved outside his den and began to stretch his body, and shaking his cranium prepared himself to fly. He inhabited a large mountain and found it fun to live at the highest altitude possible. Why? Because he loved to dive down as quickly as possible. He looked down at the long drop below with a small smile one his features. Then without a second thought, he jumped and tucked his wings to his side, and hanging his tongue out, gave an excited whoop. He was free-falling from the heights and this was what he loved to do. Ah, the adrenaline rush was exhilarating and he loved the feeling of the soft mist against his scales as he plowed through the cloud cover.

As he feel he could see the rocky bottom of the mountain and a smug grin crossed his features. At the last second, he opened his wings and skimmed over the rocky surface. Tilting his wings slightly upward he caught an updraft and skimmed over the trees. The trees blowing behind him in his wake, and the male looked upwards and pumping his wings flew higher and higher until he was above the clouds. How he loved the crisp air and the feeling of flying free and unrestricted. Aeolus hoped his rider would like to fly high and not be frightened of heights. He held his gift for his Rider in his mouth, and it was a necklace of old dragon fangs.

Tossing it up he watched it fall and swooping down after it he used his crystal-like claws to catch it. He pumped his wings to gain quicker speed and soon the Riders and other Dragons came into view. He saw Asomodeus flying around scaring the daylights out of the humans, and giving a hearty laugh he shouted, "Oi! Pranking the humans without me Asmodeus? You're no fun fiery sir!”

He spotted the Water Dragon, Nirmala. Along with his friend Orva, the Light Dragon. "Looking lovely ladies!" he said complimenting them both genuinely, with a smile on his face. He would have to catch up with Orva later on.

He then skimmed over the future Dragon Riders careful not to hit anyone with his tail or wings. He then felt a pull and looking down he spotted a small group of people. It seemed to consist of mainly boys. And the male made a graceful landing without hitting anyone this time. He then felt a magnetic pull towards the group, and he carefully examined each child before him. His eyes tranquil, and observant. The one with the glasses wasn't his ride ,the young girl wasn't his rider either, he looked at the young male that seemed to be scared out his mind, definetly not his rider, he looked at the short one who blinked his eyes a couple times at him, but his eyes settled upon a dark-brown haired boy. It was his Rider! He felt his eyes widen in awe, and a deep rumble of approval come from his chest. Yes, his rider looked strong.

He felt the bond between them snap and contract in place. He hoped it wasn't too bad on the human's end. He gently used his wing to politely nudge the others away so he good get a better look at his human. This male was his, his Rider. Bonded with him until death. Oh, how he prayed this human liked dragons and scaling heights. He exhaled a small breath of an almost frost like vapor on him in a playful manner. Aeolus then decided to try the mindlink.

Hello human. I am Aeolus and I come bearing gifts for you, my Rider. What is your name? His deep baritone vocals speaking telepathically to the young man. He then motioned to the necklace of fangs that were wrapped around his claws. Do you like scaling heights, and feeling the rush of adreneline through your veins? He looked at his Rider with wide eyes ready to listen to every word he said.

Marcella

Female || Dragon Rider || M: Open

[ind.] Other Dragons, Riders, Nurzhan

Her attention was turned to her right, as the Fire class dragon landed. The creature took a couple jumps forward hissing at the terrified looking riders before him. Something then flashed out of the corner of her eye and she whipped around to see it. A light class dragon. She had only ever heard of the magnificent creatures and now one was here! She let out a low whistle, whoever got that dragon would be one lucky rider.

As the light started to fade she noticed another figure beside it, a fog curled around both of them and as it subsided Marcella realized it had been a Water dragon creating it. The two separated, and the water class dragon turned towards some of the waiting riders. Would they be looking for their rider already? It seemed to be moving so fast, but she was excited.

She looked back to the sky to find not one, but two more air dragons. One produced a cloud and water droplets seemed to freeze before they dropped out of it. The dragon making it dived, it looked as if he was about to hit the ground when it’s wings finally snapped open and he landed. Marcella looked for the other Air dragon, but it was gone.

She didn’t notice that it had begun to skim over some of the others, but soon it was passing over her. She didn’t allow herself to get her hopes up as it neared, it could be anyone’s dragon. It passed over her. It soon made a landing not far off from where she was standing and nudged some of the humans gently away with his wing. It seemed as if the first dragon had found their rider.

It all happened so quickly, there were so many dragons. But they were still greatly outnumbered by the people here. It all seemed to quiet down for the moment, she didn’t notice any other dragons executing extravagant shows, so she went back to searching the terrain in hopes for more. Maybe some were still out there?

It was only then, when she looked towards the forest when Marcella noticed a smog. It came from among the more shadowy parts of the forest though she couldn’t see a dragon. It was more of a wisp at the edge and she had almost passed over it. Marcella was intrigued, and she pushed her way through the crowds of people to stand at the front. Eyes narrowed as she watched for another sign of the dragon. She had heard of the Dark class creatures before, but like the Light class, she had never actually seen one. It would be interesting to see if the dragon would come out, or if any of the riders would have to be daring enough to approach it. The dragon might not come to them.

Would she dare walk after it? Not knowing if she had a chance of bonding with it or if the creature might be aggressive if it saw her. If it was still planning a grand entrance still, she also didn’t want to be the one to ruin it by approaching first. For now, she would watch and wait.

Brontes

Male || Water Dragon || M: Persephone

Brontes had always enjoyed his conversations with Persephone, but this one was by far the best. If you are truly not sarcastic then take better care to hide it, I can still hear it leaking into your speech. He said, speaking through their mindlink. He grumbled out loud as she mentioned how dumb he had looked trying to impress another water dragon. He had given it a good attempt but in the end, he was rejected.

Actually, her name was Ticali, and that is absurd! I never swoon over any dragon….she was just a close friend of mine. And hey- it’s not funny when you exaggerate, it was a very serious time in my life!..... And it was three months, not two. He added hastily, voice dropping to more of a whisper, a sheepish expression crossed his face. It was a rare one, but Brontes was still capable of becoming embarrassed in his rider’s presence, though it didn’t happen often. The water dragon let out a little growl and turned his head away from Persephone in mock annoyance. Watching her clutch her heart and pretend to faint.

Yes, I need to replenish my water source, I’m nearly out. You made me cry with all of your teasing about my horrendous rejection, and now my water supply is wasted. He said sarcastically, faking a sniffle before turning his voice to a more dramatic tone. I shall now die because of you! Whoever thought, a Rider killing their own dragon! Gahhhh. With a gasp, Brontes flopped onto his side and stuck out his tongue in an attempt to play dead, before sitting back up when Persephone scooched closer to him. In all seriousness, I would like a refill before meeting the new recruits. I want to be able to put on a spicey entrance that will knock their socks off, and I’ll need lots more water for that.

Brontes wanted to make an entrance, now just being there was enough of an introduction, be he wanted something that would inspire respect or even fear. Turning his attention back to his rider, he used their mindlink again. Blaming a tree now, are we? He asked, blowing a small puff of mist in her face as she stuck out her tongue. When we got the news that you would be Squad leader, I actually got the opposite reaction among the dragons. I was a literal god to some of them.

At the mention of Augustus, Brontes gave a nod. Ah yes, Augustus. I have to agree, he did look like a rat. I wouldn’t be surprised if his dragon mistook him for one and squashed him by accident. Once Persephone had become Squad leader, the little brat was constantly on their backs trying to correct them or tell them what to do. Brontes would have eaten him, except he was Ticali’s rider, and he didn’t want to explain to his friend why her rider was missing.

“Ah yes, most of the rider’s have potential if they are willing to work hard and treat their dragon correctly,” he added out loud. He heard Perse groan as he used his nickname for her and playfully hit his side. Brontes quickly did the same, taping her shoulder with his tail. “Rides like that are fun, especially when it involves dropping your rider a few times,” he joked.

“It’s funny that you ask, I actually am hungry. Hungry for some unimpressed children'' he grumbled, “They better like our entrance or I’ll eat them.”

Agneya

Fire Dragon | Female | Mentions: Other Dragons, New Riders, Kianna

A young female dragon lay basking in the heat of the sun. She was perfectly content in staying where she was. Her residency was an oasis in the desert. She enjoyed the heat of the desert during the day but never the desert nights. The desert nights were cold and she hated the cold, but oddly enough she enjoyed cool water. The oases she inhabited seemed to have been abandoned by humans or was an old area they resided. She could tell by the small amount of scattered buildings, but those were rare, it was the wild growing crops that could only been brought by human hands. It was the zangy scent of lemons and oranges in neatly made rows that caught her attention when she first started living here. She quite enjoyed the scents, and was intrigued with how the palm trees lined around the oases provided a barrier of protection for the crops from the desert winds.

The female slinked through the vegetation and made her way to the springs that was the lifeline of the oases. She had chosen a good spot. The water wasn't too mineralized as to cause the water to be undrinkable. It was pure and fresh, and she enjoyed every sip of the water she took. She then began moving to the edge of the oases and found a nice area of sand. She rolled her body, much akin to a cat rubbing against the ground. She let sand get upon her scales, and then she shook it all off. It was what could be described as a "sand bath" one to keep bugs and parasites of her body, and for good measure she shook off a bit more. Exhaling a bit she went to the fruit trees, and began sniffing them. Gently she began plucking fruit off. She chose three oranges, and she secured them in a large palm tree leaf.

She took one last look at her home before taking off to the sky. She was careful not to drop her gift for her human. Her wings curled at the tips as she flew. The breeze was calming, and she enjoyed the feeling of the air. As she flew closer to the valley, she noticed the crowds of humans beginning to come in along with the entrances of other dragons. The female watched how some dragons found their humans, and she hoped she found hers. She had five digits which made it easier for her to "grab" and "hold" things. And she gripped the leaf containing the oranges tightly so it wouldn't spill any contents. Opening her mouth, she let out a small plume of smoke, before releasing her bright and hot fire. She weaved through her little ringlets of fire she made, and flew with a small aerial display. She was not using all of her fire reserves at once just to show off. After her small display, she fell something pulling her. And she gently landed following the pull.

She decided to carry the leaf with her mouth now, so she didn't squash the oranges. She soon found that where the pull was the strongest, an air dragon was near. She felt her eyes sharpen at the sight of the dragon. He was near her human. Now, as a Fire Dragon she was territorial. And he was in the way of her "territory" that was her Rider. She noticed a girl, one with caramel brown hair and warm, dark brown eyes that was gawking at the male Air Dragon. She was her human. Agneya felt a pang of jealously rise within her chest as she observed the girl gawking at the male dragon in awe. Her human should be looking at her like that, not him. Slowly she made her way to the girl, and flapped her wings a bit to get of the ground, and she used her hindlegs to securly pick up the female, and fly a bit off with her. She felt the bond between then begin to form, and snap into place. She didn't fly too far from the small group of humans she was with, but a short distance away from them so she wouldn't have to display her territorial behavior or be in the way of other dragons. She carefully set her human down, and made sure she didn't fall over.

Hello girl, her voice purred through the mindlink, my apologies if I startled you. My name is Agneya and I am your dragon. I bring fruits of the desert as a gift for you. And she set down the leaf, to reveal the three oranges. Agneya hoped the girl liked the gift.

She felt her tail curl around the area of the girl in a possessive manner. Agneya was not in the mood of letting anyone near, and if anyone did they would be getting a slap from her spiked tail. She was bonding with her human and she pitied the soul of the person if they tried to interrupt them. Her eyes were on her human, taking in every detail of her. From her ivory skin to her freckled face. Her human was quite pretty, and she had shiny earrings. The dragoness curiously nosed the shiny earring on the girls right ear. Agneya loved shiny things.

|| Ryia Beaumont ||

|| Female || Dragon - Asmodeus || Mentions: Students & dragons ||

Ryia heard it before she saw it, the flap of leathery wings beating against the air. But the sound wasn’t coming from her front, it was coming from behind. A jolt of fear shot down her spine, and her honeyed eyes widened. Instinctually her knees bent, lowering her body closer to the ground as she whipped around to look behind her. A large form descended from the sky at speeds Ryia had never seen. Move!, her mind screamed at her. Screams echoed from the other students as they dropped to the ground. In the air just above her and the other students, the red dragon straightened out right before crashing into them, flipping over so its back sliced through the air right above them.

It was as if the world suddenly went into slow motion as the beast passed over head. Smooth red scales filled her vision, accompanied by darker red, almost black, markings that curled, slashed, and dotted his body. It was as if something had taken over her mind, she found herself wanting to reach up her hand and run her fingers over the scales, she wanted to trace over each stipe and swirl with her fingers.

In the bink of a eye the beast was gone. The remnants of smoke and flame hung in the air, the only evidence that it was ever there in the first place. The gust of wind that followed his passing was strong enough to almost knock her to the ground, she shielded her face with her arms and braced herself against the wind.

When Ryia found the dragon, it was behind her again. With a thud the red beast shook the ground as it landed. Whipping around he lunged for the students, his lips curled up and a low hiss emanate from him. Pearly fangs glinted in the sunlight, and Ryia felt her heart skip a beat. She staggered back from the beast, making sure to stay away from those teeth. Teeth that have probably ripped apart countless humans.

After getting to a safe distance, Ryia kept herself lower ot the ground, arms out in front of her body, in a protective stance. If she had one, a dagger would probably be firmly gripped in her right hand, but what could a dagger do against a dragon. Fire class, she told herself. With flames like those, she wouldn't stand a chance even if she did jump out of the way. Fire class dragons had the ability to melt skin from bone.

Ryia’s thoughts were interrupted when another form emerged, this time from the surrounding undergrowth. This dragon was the embodiment of grace. With its head held high and unfaltering stride, this dragon could command the attention of a room with just a look. Ryia felt her breath hitch. Radiant, was a proper word for this dragon, literally. She squinted against the bright glow that the dragon emanated. Like the sun dipping beneath the horizon, the glow faded. For the first time she realized the light dragon wasn’t alone. Steam covered the dragons like a mystical fog from which they entered from another world. A dragon of the water class strode in beside the light dragon. Out of the corner of her eyes movement and the absence of light caught her eye. From what she could tell a black smoke like substance wove through the forest trees. Brows drawing together in question, Ryia couldn’t tell where it was coming from.

Cold hit her skin sliding down her cheek. Ryia blinked, confused by the sudden feeling. She wiped her cheek with her hand and looked up towards the clouds. Falling from the small drops of frozen water fell, sparkling in the sunlight. But that wasn’t all that fell.

A dragon of white struk the ground like lightning. Landing in the front of the crowd. Deadly eyes of ice caught her eye making her body stiffen. Before she could process the newest appearance of the air dragon, another appeared. Landing in the crowd. Students scattered to get out of the way of the large beast, but those who didn’t paused. Hoping. Stopping in front of one student, Ryia knew they had bonded. A lump began to form in her throat. Caught up in the sight of the bond, Ryia cursed herself, A large dragon of the fire class had practically appeared out of no where. Flapping above the crowd, large talons reached towards the students, scooping one into its claws. Her heart nearly stopped at the sight. Its going to kill her, was her initial thought. The fire dragon flew a little ways away before landing, setting the girl down. Waiting for the flash of teeth a screams, Ryia clutched her shirt above her stomach.

But the blood never came.
