Chapter 14

A month and a half passed Hunter was huge he could no longer stay indoors with Samira. She took him to riders camp every day.

One day he is going to fly away Toy warned her but because he is bonded to you he will always come if you call.

She looked abouve her to thirty dragons soaring sky high with new riders training above her.

Are you ready to ride for instruction Samira? You've aced all your written exams even the map coordinates and Etharkia's no fly zones.

Why are they no fly zones Toy? Because the dragon's will kill you before you have the chance to land that is thier nesting zone they don't like humans near their lairs and nests.

How many again? That we know of eight sadly we find out if other's were set up when a dragon drop's a rider out the sky killing him.

You advanced Samira top of your class to be exact. Thank you commander. You are all the rave in the kingdom the king has summoned you home he wishes to host a coming out party for you. For me Commander Toy?

Yes Princess, she held her arm behind her back as the riders are taught when speaking with someone of high rank. Samira looked up in the sky.

What's wrong Samira? I miss home, the mirror world. He placed his hand on her back I understand the transition can be a lot but this is your home princess. You were taken into the mirror for security purposes you and Lividia are the last of the Waterstone bloodline. Livida is past age to bare children to keep the bloodline alive. Without the waterstone line Hunter and all his kind are doomed to death.

Waterstones are keeper's of the egg's. The first contact with abandoned dragon eggs. Why do they do that? Abandon their eggs?

No one knows why? The old ones have said they smell off to a dragon once layed and so they leave them to die.

Just because one is off does not mean they all are Commander. Try explaining that to them pointing upward Samira smiled. We are here to assist them not tell them what to do.

A waterstone saved a lot of eggs over 100 year's ago. She learned the secret of making them hatch keeping the land plenty with them for our protection.

Now when abandoned eggs are found they are taken to Lividia each waterstone is passed down the secrets to egg care. What is the secret Samira? She smiled don't upset the eggs.

Toy laughed he loved her sense of humor a party huh? Yes and the king has a huge surprise for you.

I need to go back check on Noni. She is fine and is home resting she sent a message through. Samira exhaled hearing her grandmother was home. Thank you Commander Toy.

What's wrong still Samira? I have nothing to wear and no date do I need a date? No you don't but it is customary.

You think Ahmad will ask? Toy smiled if he knows what's good for him he better. Samira smiled let me know when you want an air lesson Samira.

I'm ready Commander. Yes? Yes sir. Okay I'll get you a rider.

Samira sat inside drinking a cool ale Samira! The rider's called to her when she pushed through the crowd Ahmad was wrapped in black fire green eyes peering at her. She walked to his Dragon placing her head on his.

What's his name Ahmad? Farell Samira. Farell, kissing his rough cheek the riders in awe of her getting close to someone else's dragon. Hunter!

UTNIAK! Hunter hopped on the Dragon's head walking to the saddle.

She sat behind Ahmad wrapping Hunter on her back. You can leave him Samira. She ignored him.

What's first Samira? Straps she buckled her feet to the stirrups and the waist she pulled them thinking she needed a different type made for her need's.

The word's to use for a dragon to rise slow and easy is Naki the dragon walked slow riding up off the ground easy. Stealth! The dragon stopped flying in one place.

You use this when you need to see something or pick something up Samira. Dip! The dragon flew high in the sky spiraling down toward the ground at high speeds.

UP NORTH the dragon swooped up in the air tilting his body on a 45 degree angel north.

Got it so far? Yes Ahmad thank you. Samira it's Thursday we are off on the weekend would you like to go on a date with me?

She smiled he looked behind her seeing it in her eyes since her face was covered. Will there be snacks? Haha I can arrange that. Okay. They landed the next time I lead and you follow on the dragon of your choice Samira.

No problem the junior rider's crowded Samira asking her how it was she removed her face covering smiling with her classmates.

Idris slapped the newspaper on Lividia's back she was still asleep the change in air pressure making her sleepy her body had to get used to home again. What Idris? Woman you sleep like we are old. We are old Idris.

Bite your tounge aren't you going to pick Samira's fabrics today? She sat up her hair a nest. I forgot about that. One for you too my love anything your heart desires Lividia!

Lividia picked up the gazette look at them smiling young and free on a dragon. She looks happy Idris.  Of course she is happy my love she is home! She is royalty! And she is Waterstone! He pulled her up waltzing her around they couple giggled and laughed drunk on the happiness of life.
