A Dragon Rider's Heart

May nodded in agreement. "I agree fully, it's just anytime I've tried to mention anything, people shake their heads and laugh. They seem to think just because I'm a princess I don't know what I'm talking about."

Azriel chuckled. "Then they're the fools." He shook his head and his head shot up as he heard a noise, only to find it was a deer bounding away from them.

"My love lays within the majestic ways dragons are, but that could just be becuase I was raised around them." "Tis the truth we're majestic." Thorn said in his mind.

May smiled slightly. "I'm happy you think that since you're the only one," she said. When Azriel's head shot up, her gaze followed his to the deer. "Just a deer, I think you can relax."

Samahria nodded, "Dragons are beautiful. They have the most beautiful scales I have seen. Well I have only seen thorns and your friends dragon so I can't say they have the most beautiful appearence." She felt as if she were rambling. Great she was doing that again. She always rambled when she was around a cute guy. For once she wanted to act normally around guys. Azula snorted in amusement.

Luchador and Thorn licked their lips and Azriel and Thelios looked around them. "I think we should camp here and allow our Partners to eat." Azriel said as Luchador stopped and he slid off his back and landed neatly on his feet.

Thelios agreed and slid off Thorn. Thorn and Luchador took off through the woods to hunt. Thelios sat on a large rock and stretched out his sore legs and looked at the Pegausus girl. "Once you seem them flying across the sky in gorgous color in the sun's light you'll understnad me."

Samahria nodded, maybe but she would still think that Azula was most beautiful creature. Azula entered her mind wanting to run around to find her some fruit or nuts or maybe even a patch of wild green grass. Samahria laughed at her, "Alright go have fun but don't go too far." Azula took off into the woods. She went and sat next to Thelios, "So what is the dragon kingdom like?"

"Sounds fine to me," she said. May hopped off of Glen's back gracefully. He then took off through the woods to hunt. May stretched her legs, her eyes on Azriel. She walked toward him and stopped next to him.

Thelios's eyes became distant. "It's the size of the Griffons and Pegasus kingdoms combined. The streets are large enough for two dragons to walk side by side, and it's quite peaceful. Our king, Azriel's father, is a peacful man. Everyone is honorable, and the ones that aren't are banned from the kingdom."

Azriel sighed and shook his head. "Wanna go hunt for somthing to eat?" He took off his bow and nodded towards the woods. "I could use a bit of company, and it's not safe to go out alone."

Samahria listened carefully, imagining a beautiful place. "I wish I could of seen more of it." She would have loved to stay and walk around the Dragon kingdom but she knew that she shouldn't stay since there was tension between her kingdom and theirs.

May nodded and took her own bow. "I suppose I will hunt with you, Dragon boy, although I might show you up," she said.

Azriel snorted. "Not a chance. Dragons are the best hunters and trackers there are." He gave her a wicked smile before stealthly making his way into the woods.

Thelios nodded. "You'd have loved it. Maybe somtime you could come visit again after this war stuff is done and over with."

Samahria nodded,"Only if you show me around." She nudged him playfully. She knew if she went on her own she would get lost again. She thought of war. Why was there need for it cant they all be at peace with each other. She knew that was nieve thought.

"So you say, Dragon Boy, but I will prove you wrong," May said. She shook her head as she followed him and glanced at him. She moved beside him stealthily.

Thelios laughed. "If I'm not busy training or training others, I'd be honored to be your escort." He smiled and shook his head, and through his and Thorns link he could feel warmth enter his mouth and knew Thorn had made a kill.

Azriel wanted to laugh, but didn't and only sent her a 'of course you could' look and followed the trail of the deer that'd went past them. If the dragons hadn't caught it already he'd take it.

Samahria smiled, "Great. Now what do we now? They have all gone out to hunt." She felt restless but didn't know what to do. She jumped off the rock and started to pace.

Ma rolled her eyes and sent him 'whatever' look while continuing to follow him. She hoped that luck was on her side and that she would be able to show Azriel up.

Azriel's muscles tensed as he heard a twig snap ahead. He got into a crouch and motioned for her to stay back. He slowly made his way through the brush, staying upwind of whatever it was and stopped in a bush as he saw movement. A large buck was grazing on some grass and Azriel slowly brought his bow up. Instinct took over and he used his back muscles, not his shoulders, and drew the bow string back to the corner of his mouth. He aimed, testd the wind, made an adjustment, and let it loose. It saild through the air and landed true and went through its heart, killing it instantly.

"I'm going to gather wood, you can too if you want." He went off into the woods and started picking up wood he could use for a fire.

Samaharia had to run to keep up, "what are we picking up?" She turned when she heard a noise in the woods. She stared at the source of the noise for a while when nothing happened she turned back.

"Wood fit for fire." He reached down and grabbed another and started stacking it in his arms. He then turned to go back to their spot and he dropped them onto the ground. "We'll also need largish rocks to put around it."

Samaharia nodded, trying to pick up everything he said to pick up. She had a lot of wood in her hand when something attacked her from behind. She tried to scream for help but the person covered her mouth. She went into Azula's mind, "Go get help and fast." Azula went over to Thelious. Pushing him to move.

Thelios knew once he saw Azule somthing was wrong. He took off in a splint back in the way he'd came and he didn't stop once he saw the man with Samaharia. He rammed right into the man, knocking Samaharia out of his grip and sending him and Samaharia's attacker rolling. Thelios brushed against Thorns mind, letting him know he was needed and a loud challenging roar sounded in the distance, followed by Luchador's as Thorn told him.

Azriel's head jerked up as he heard the dragons roars. "Go help them. Me and May will be there soon." Azriel turned to May. "Call your Partner. We'll come back for our prey later."

Samaharia fell to the ground with a thud. She looked to see Thelious and her attacker fighting it out both equally determined yet Thelios had the upper hand. When the attacker heard the dragons cry he gave a signal behind his back so Thelious couldn't see. "Run its a trap!" She yelled out. She ran over to help him taking out her sword.

Thelios didn't hear her over the pounding of his heart in his ears and the blood lust that overcame him. He delievered a blow to the attacker's stomach and as he bent over Thelios brought up his leg and kicked him in the face, sending him back.

Samahria saw that Thelious had the guy under control but she knew it wasn't over. Holding her sword she looked around into the forest. She heard rustling then a guy ran out. She came at him with her sword. They fought, all she could hear was the clashing of their swords. She moved around trying to get an advantage on him. She saw from the corner of her eyes a girl with a a bow and arrow she took aim, whether it was at her or Thelious she wasn't sure.

May watched as Azriel killed a buck, her jaw clenched slightly. He really was good and she had to give him that, but it annoyed her a puny bit that he kept showing her up. Her thoughts vanished when she heard the dragons roaring and her head also snapped up. She nodded and pushed into Glen's mind.
Glen, there's trouble and we need you.
