|| Ryia Beaumont || || Female || Dragon - Asmodeus || Mentions: Asmodeus, students || Red filled her vision, and eyes of a deep black sepia stared down into her own. Ryia couldn’t move. Whether it was out of fear or something else she didn’t know. ~ The fire dragon staying true to their nature, was aggressive and frightening. Seeming to utterly enjoy the terror he induced. Quickly running at the humans, she watched the fire dragon stand on its hind legs, peering at the crowd. He was searching for someone. His rider. The world around her faded to nothing as his head turned in her direction. Her hands began to uncontrollably shake as a growl tore through his throat. Ryia’s hands balled into fists at her side, willing them to stop shaking. But it was to no avail. Returning to all fours the fire dragon stalked over. Those who weren’t quick enough to get out of the way were effectively moved out of the way. With his wing the dragon shoved one student out of the way, sending him soaring a few feet away. She flinched when they hit the ground. As the fiery dragon neared Ryia tried to back away, her body refusing to listed to her mind. The muscles in her legs locked up, refusing to let her move. Images of fire enveloping her, or her arms torn from her body flashed through her mind. With such ease this dragon could kill her. Like with such ease she killed the spiders in her bedroom. The dragons large body stopped in front of her and the air around her warmed. Strangely the warmth caused her muscles to relax and her mind regained control. Painfully slow Ryia dropped to one knee, bowing her head before the dragon. “You,” A wave of vertigo crashed over Ryia. Tightly closing her eyes she fought to keep her balance. After a few seconds the feeling began to fade and vanish. What remained was something she couldn’t name. She wasn’t alone any more, no longer just a half a soul. For the first time in her life she felt whole, never realizing how alone she really felt until now. Her head snapped up to stare at the dragon before her. Her dragon. Her honeyd eyes grew blurry as silent, involuntary, tears slipped down her cheeks. “You…” that one word conveying all her feelings of satori. |

Kianna Daize
Female | Dragon Rider | Mentions: Agneya Her dark eyes roamed back up towards her dragon's intriguing gaze. Thanks! she said when her name was complimented. I think it has a special meaning, but I can't quite remember.... Oh right! It means something along the lines of "enduring one" in Irish Gaelic. Kia couldn't believe she hadn't thought to ask about Neya's name meaning! Agneya was quite the lovely name, and incredibly unique. Well, of course a dragon would have a name more unique than a human's, as there were fewer of them, and they all seemed to have more interesting names. Your name meaning makes sense. She giggled involuntarily as she thought about it. I can't believe we're bonded, though. She thought this, still marvelling at Neya. Whatever nickname is fine! I actually like the thought of you calling me something special, she said with a smile. Oh, and speaking of nicknames, is it alright I call you Neya? she asked, just to be sure. Afterall, who knew if Agneya would be offended by the shortened version? Kia felt herself gawking at the glow of Neya's scales as fire built up in her throat. So had she gotten a territorial or defensive dragon? That would actually be quite fitting, and Kia felt a slight smile spread upon her lips at the thought of how they would be. Well, if she could get through the first flight. She shuddered slightly at the thought of being knocked off mid flight. Neya's comment caught her off guard. Well, I'm sorry. I get excited over all creatures, she thought, rubbing her hand on the back of her neck in an embarassed manner. Honestly, she added, But I must say I am much more drawn to you. You're quite the lovely creature. And I wouldn't dream of ending up with any other dragon, she said with a grateful dragon. But seriously, how had she gotten so lucky with this lovely specimen? I'll try not to do anything to make you jealous, she said with a chuckle, As long as you return the favor. She said it all jokingly, momentarily forgetting that she actually did get jealous rather easily. What? Oh, yeah. I don't peel the peel because it's just too much work, and I hate having it under my finger nails, she cringed, imagining the peel burying itself under her nails. Then she finished off the orange, showing off her clean nails to Agneya and smiling. Oh! also, sorry, I'm so forgetful! I have a necklace with my initials in my bag, it's specially designed for a dragon. Well, they had a necklace for every type of dragon, so I bought them all just in case. I'll have to return all the other ones... but here you go! She pulled a silver chain out of her satchel, a small "KD" hanging from one of the pieces. It's heat resistant, so you can't take it off unless you have fingers to undo the locket, it's supposed to be a sign of our bond! Now the question is just where do you want to wear it? It could go anywhere, really. The chain can to about 5 feet long, or I could clip it shorter and cut off the extra chain if you want it somewhere that requires less. Okay, yeah, sorry, I'm rambling. She released a low laugh, and asked Agneya where she wanted it. |

Marcella Lane Female || Dragon Rider || M: NPC girl, Nurzhan When Julie didnt respond, and a loud hiss souded, her heart nearly dropped. What had this girl gotten herself into? A shrill scream came from just up ahead, and out of her sight. Cautiously, she walked towards the sound of it, but as she approached where the girl had been, she came running past her, shoving past Marcella and flailing as she ran. Clearly terrified of whatever she has just encountered. She watched the girl disappear, and could no longer hear her panting. It was then, that Marcella thought she heard something behind her, and whipped around, she was faced with shadows. She swore she heard a click, and then her head seemed to be on fire. Her hands flew up and gripped the sides of her head as she grimaced, fighting the urge to drop to the ground or worse, run from whatever had caused this. But as soon as it had started, it was over, she blinked hard and shook her head, trying to figure out what had caused this. She didn’t normally get migraines or headaches, and why did it last so short? She was lost in thought when a hoarse voice filled her head. "It does not do well to roam the dark shadows of the forest unaccompanied, small one," Was she now imagining voices? For a moment a worried expression crossed her face, but it quickly melted into more of an awed expression when she saw the dragon standing before her, before she then went blank. She didnt know weather to be afraid, or in awe any more. The dragon before her towered over her, and his black scales looked almost iridescent. He definitely was terrifying, but at the same time she was also drawn to him. Marcella just couldn’t figure out why exactly, but it was the only thing that was keeping her from running. A thought then crossed her mind, if she was alone with this dragon, had they just spoken to her? Was she going mad? Or what if that click had meant that they had bonded? God it would be embarrassing if that was the case and he could hear her thoughts. She awkwardly moved to reply, and hoped that she didn't wait too long to answer, the last thing she wanted to do was appear rude or spaced out.. I was not alone..I was with.. er..Julie. But she, uh, ran away when I assume she saw you. You gave her quite the scare, she nearly ran me over trying to get away. Marcella was again, shocked, as no words left her mouth and she rather... thought of it? It was almost like she spoke with her mind, the sensation was strange, but also felt somewhat normal. It had almost come naturally. Bonding with a dragon seemed more interesting now, than it initially did. Not that she wasn’t interested before, but this seemed like a game changer. |

Julien Devereux
Male | Dragon Rider | Mentions: Nirmala, Orva, Sindri
Julien tried to hide the disappointment as his face fell a bit when the dragoness told him to hold onto the flower. He wasn't sure he liked it, and he suddenly felt very self conscious that he hadn't thought to birng something else, something better, for the dragon who chose him. A flower? What was he tihnking?
He was so wrapped up in his silly thoughts, that it took him a minute to register her voice in his head, and he let his eyes lift back up to her. He quietly took the beautiful pearl, his face transitioning into a look of awe at it's beauty. It was like the dragon herself had crafted it, and boy was it beautiful.
"T-Thank you," he stuttered a bit even when speaking mentally, but it was because, while he felt complete now, he felt a little awkward. She was so elegant and graceful, and he was literally the exact opposite with his gawky, lanky build and glasses.
"My name is Julien, Julien Devereux. It's, um, it's nice to meet you Nirmala," he dipped his head a bit when he spoke to her, and, unlike her, hadn't noticed the approach of another dragon. At least, he hadn't noticed it until she had jumped over him, causing him to duck quickly, and roll to his belly so he could peer out from underneath her. Unfortunately for him, the movements caused his glasses to fall from his face, and he had awkwardly stare at the blurry forms around him until Nirmala moved.
Once she had he straightened up, lifted his glasses back to his face from where they sat on his chest. Thankfully he had long ago thought to put them on a cord so that they would never fall from his reach. Fixating them on his face he glanced up at the light dragon and offered her a smile.
"Hello, Orva," he nodded at her, "I'm Julien." |

Alexa Finch
Female | Dragon Rider | Mentions: Breathnoir
To be frank, Alexa hadn't been paying much attention to her surroundings. She had been busy watching as human after human bonded with their dragons. It seemed even most of her friends, the few she had, were being chosen as well. And, while she hadn't been sure she had wanted to bond with a dragon, as she watched her friends be chosen, she felt a pang of jealousy begin to form in her gut.
Of course, that was until she felt the ground begin to shift near her, causing her to look around in worry. Her legs tensed as she prepared to run or jump, unsure of what was happening for a moment. However, her worry ceased when an earth dragon rose from the earth, the source of the rumbling clearly been due to his tunneling. She watched him for a moment, curious and unable to take her eyes off him. However, when he eventually turned towards her, she froze.
It wasn't until he was nudging her away with his own muzzle than she felt her legs moving. Silently she allowed herself to be pushed away from the group that had gathered near her and kept her eyes trained on the burly earth dragon.
Once they had gotten far enough away it seemed, the Earth dragon stopped moving her, and she exhaled quietly, her shoulders falling in relief. Part of her knew what was going to happen before it did, having had a Dragon Rider for a mother, she had heard the stories. However, when his voice rang inside her head, causing her to wince from the throb of it, she was still caught off guard. He chose her?
Blinking she slowly sat down in the grass in front of him, scooting closer so she could reach out and touch him if he wanted and let her head cock to the side.
"It's no matter, I personally don't like big groups to begin with. I'm Alexa Finch. Thank your for choosing me Noir," she offered him a rare half smile, though any smile for Alex was a feat. She reached out and gently laid her hand on his head and this time a large smile stretched over her face. Something about him just made her feel comfortable and safe, and she found herself relaxing more than she ever had before.
"I'll try to be the best rider I can be for you." |

The First Rides are to Begin.
Dragons with their new found riders will approach the center of the valley, all unclaimed humans will begin to move out, leaving just the instructors, Squad Leader & Dragon, and the new rider pairs.
Once ready, the first rides will begin, and the riders will mount the dragons, and thus be taken on the first and most dangerous rides of their lives. |

Breathnóir || Earth Dragon || Male || Mentions: Alexa Alexa Finch. The name ran in circles around his head as he rolled it through his thoughts and branded it in every corner of his mind. What a simple yet beautiful name. It felt strong, firm, and yet lovely. Just like his rider. She was lovely herself, he took into account the warm brown hair tumbling down her shoulders, and her stormy gray-blue eyes. Her eyes matched the fair skin that she sported. She was quite the adorable creature, as well. Alexa made him want to scoop her up and squeeze her tight, though he knew that this would probably kill her when he actually thought about it. Feeling her touch on his head, he leaned into it gently, not fully leaning because he knew he was massive compared to her. His intelligent green eyes half-closed, his dark green eyelids lowering. This was strange. Though he had just met her, he trusted her fully. Perhaps this is just how bonds worked, which was probable. Sure he wasn't exactly the distrusting, aloof type, but he most certainly wasn't one to cozy up to strangers. I'm sure you'll be a phenomenal rider, he answered her, opening his eyes fully once more but leaving his head where it was. I will try to return the favor by being the best ride and companion I can be, he said, his eyes twinkling with the equivalent of a smile. Becoming aware of some riders and dragons headed towards the center of the valley, Noir turned his head to look towards them. He turned it back to look at Alexa, I think it might be time to go on the first ride. His tone was level, if perhaps holding a slightly excited undertone. He hoped she couldn't feel all the emotions behind the thought. He didn't know how this worked, obviously, but all the apprehension and excitement flooding through him right now would probably knock her off her feet if she were to get a glimpse at it. Noir stood, taking a step to follow the others and turning his head to look back at Alexa to see if she was going to lead the way for him. |
