"Make that two problems" he said as one of the creatures suddenly grabbed him and threw him towards Novera hitting her and knocking her off of the edge with Geralt.

As both Novera and Geralt fell out of the tower, time stood still, their lives had only begun and yet now they were ending sooner than planned. Novera ended up wanting to do so much she had plans to live her life but now she can't.

Geralt had too much to say so much he wanted to do. Now he can't even tell the one he cares about how he feels. He failed to protect her like he promised.

Time starts to go back to normal slowly. Both novera and Geralt look at each other as they fall. As time goes back to normal, Novera closes her eyes as there is a sudden roar. Her eyes fly open as she looks around.

They suddenly get caught inches away from death.

Novera held on with her eyes closed thinking she was still falling. She heard another roar as she slowly opened her eyes seeing she was in the sky. She looks around trying to find Geralt and she sees him in the air on a creature.

"Holy..." Novera was stunned as they were both riding dragons.

The dragons fly towards the area where they left their horses. Both Novera and Geralt get off of the dragons and Novera feels Geralt grab her hand. Both dragons look at them as they bow their heads and fly off.

Novera looks at Geralt surprised and shocked after what just happened.

"Don't look at me, I don't have an explanation for this," he said.

"They must have come when I used the dragonbond" she said as she held the dragonbond in her hand.

"Now I'm intrigued," he said as he looked at the dragonbond.

Soon night fell and both Novera and Geralt set up camp as They took turns holding and examining the dragonbond.

"So what does the scroll say about its abilities?" Geralt asked as he held the Dragonbond.

"Let me check," Novera says as she reads the scroll again.

"Below the image of the dragonbond it says once used the amount of dragons at your disposal will automatically be bonded to the holder of the dragonbond" she said.

"Okay now that's cool." Geralt said as he handed her the dragonbond.

"How is it that you can read the scrolls? I thought it was written in an old unknown language." He said.

"It is but I'm one of the few that can read it, crazy luck don't you think?"

"I'll say. You never seem to stop surprising me" Geralt said as he looked at her.

"And I don't plan to stop," she said as she smiled at him.

That night Novera slept late as she thought of a way to fully tame the dragons.

By the next day Novera was awake as she used the dragonbond to summon the dragons as they flew down to where she was.

Geralt woke up and got out of the tent and was surprised as he saw Novera petting the dragons.

He walked towards her but stopped when one of them looked at him.

"It's okay he's a friend he won't hurt me or you" she tells them as she looks at him.

"I have a job for you Geralt and I hope you'll accept"

"That depends on the job you have planned for me," he says.

A few days pass as Geralt returns to the camp with Mercy and Eclipse. Sir Carlton and sir Engeram were waiting and they were surprised when they found that Geralt had returned without Novera.

"Geralt you're back. What happened to Lady Novera?" Sir Carlton asked, a bit concerned.

"She is currently undergoing a project" he said as he got off of mercy and put both horses in the stable.

The council gathered with Geralt in the war tent as they questioned him about Novera.

"Look she's fine she told me to let you know she will be here soon"

"How soon?" Engeram asked.

"What if something happens to her on her way here?"

Geralt gets ready to say something when they suddenly hear a roar. The council members get nervous and run out of the war tent and look up at the sky as they see two big shadows fly overhead.

The council members look up in ah as they see the cause of those shadows were dragons the dragons fly around before they see a rider on one of the dragons.

"Is that..?"

"Council members say hello to the first dragon rider of the dinesty lady Novera." Geralt said as both the dragons landed in the clearing in front of the war tent.

The dragon carrying Novera Lowered itself allowing her to get off.

Novera pets both dragons as they stare at the council members before giving them a scare by roaring as they then fly away.

The council members run to Novera full of questions of the dragons and what had happened.

"I shall tell you all what happened once I get settled in again" she said as she walked off with Geralt following her.

"What was their reaction? She asked Geralt.

"They were amazed at your entrance though sir Engeram was a bit annoyed. I honestly thought about knocking him down to his level but I thought better of the situation and decided not to do that...yet" Geralt said.

"I know you don't find Engeram to be a nice guy and honestly we don't need nice men, we need warriors if I plan on making this world a better place." she said as she looked at him.

"Fair enough Novera. In a few days we'll have to leave this area to get further east" He said as they walked into her tent.

"Good then plan out our route I'll scout the area on Kogoss" she said as she walked to her chest that was in front of her bed.

"Kogoss? Is that what you named your dragon? Destroyer of men?" he asked.

"Yeah, like it I figured you could name the other one since she is yours." Novera said as she unlocked her chest and took out the chest of scrolls.

"That seems fair, thanks also what was it like from up there?"

"It was great feeling the fresh air blowing in my face, seeing beyond the horizon. It was great."

"I'm glad you liked it." he said as he was holding something back.

"Geralt, is there something on your mind?" she asked as she put the chest down on the table as she looked at him.

"Novera I..." he paused as he looked at her. He couldn't bring himself to tell her not yet not now. It was too soon to tell her this. "Nothing Nevermind..So what's our next mission?" he asked.

She gets ready to ask him what was wrong when the chest opened again and another scroll flew out.

"Seems we'll know very soon" she said as she smirks.
