I wanted to dedicate this chapter to DraCorns for being my first comment and giving me some feedback!:)
Hazel sat listening to her parents talk of the families shipping business-or pretending to at least- while she didn't hate the business she had never wished to learn the trade or take it over once her parents were gone. Being the only child though, Hazel didn't have much of a choice on inheriting the business and she wondered if this is what she was doomed to do the rest of her life, sit behind a desk looking at charts and writing reports. Hazel had always had an adventurous side and she longed to leave Gil'ead and travel Alagaesia to see the many cities and sites the land has to offer.
Suddenly she was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard her mother saying "Hazel, Hazel what's wrong dear you look depressed." Hazel smiled and said calmly "nothing mother just day dreaming is all." both her parents laughed and her father looked at her with amused eyes saying "you really must stop doing that Hazel, one of these days it just might get you killed." Hazel simply shrugged and said "well we all pass into the void one day, what way better than dreaming of your favorite thing?" Her father seemed to be at a loss for words so he simply nodded his head and said " fair enough."
Excusing herself from the table, Hazel walked up the stairs into her large room with her giant bed and the many book shelves and dressers. One of the perks of being the sole child of a wealthy family is that you never want for anything, all she had to do was ask or say she wanted something and it was hers. As she changed into her pajamas she remembered what was coming up in the next few weeks, the egg ceromony. She knew the elves should be somewhere in the area of Feinster sense they had set off a few weeks prior from what she had heard.
For a moment she entertained the thought of becoming a rider but then laughed slight and knew better, the odds of her becoming a rider were slim at best. It would be nice though, the entire job of a rider was to travel the land and what better way then a dragon? She drifted off to sleep thinking of dragons and the wonderful thought of being a rider of one.
Hey guys so I know this is a kinda short chapter but I just wanted to show the other character I will be writing about as well. I know these chapters aren't the most exciting things but I wanted to give a good backstory the action will pick up soon I promise! Vote, comment, and let me know what you think!
