Amoya was standing on her small balcony overlooking the food production facilities they had built. A look of sadness across her face.

"Who did the dragon choose?" Borus said standing in the door frame looking at her, he too wore a look of sadness.

"She claims she does not remember, which means the dragon is trying not to force the rut onto her, her pheromones are the purest I have ever felt in a while, more pure than the ones you push even now"

"I see, what will you do." Borus stated.

"For the first time Borus, I really don't know. We cannot give her time to rest so her lessons will resume today , because she was asleep the theory on magic was not done. Aptitude tests will be done today." Amoya stated.

Borus walked up close behind her and reached out to touch Amoya but held himself back. "Does this mean, I- we".

"Don't make this harder than it needs to be, I am not your mate, I can't give you what you need. " Amoya stated sighing with her back still turned.

"I will be here to serve you when you need it". Borus bowed to her and left her chambers fixing the rest of his clothing.

Johnoya was sitting on the side of her bed sweating, night gown drenched tears burned behind her eyes. The dream she had was horrible, people burning, screaming, chants of magic, smoke and fire every where. A city was burning. The mage that kidnapped her was staring at her in the middle of the burning street, she was holding a small child in her arms. She stood in a yellow dress untouched by the grime of burning flesh and mud. The words she spoke sent chills down her spine.

"Please, spare us, don't take my family a second time"

"Oya are you awake, I brought you lunch". Zel said a smile on her face. When she saw Johnoya she placed the food on the table in the room and rushed to the girl , she knelt between her legs and held her face in her hands.

"What is wrong, do you feel ill , would you like me to call for the doctor".

"No, I am alright it was just a bad dream , I would like a bath though, I would not like to do it alone. "  Johnoya smiled .

After her bath and a comfortable meal with her friend zel. Johnoya went to her first class , sadly it was with Amoya, she internally groaned.

                                                             
                                                                      (<~>)

It was two doors down from her room, a comfortable classroom setting, a small room there were paintings everywhere but no carpets so just the white floor and grey walls.
She was sitting behind a very small office desk with a beautiful gold and white chair the desk had same coloring. There was a larger desk and chair before her. The door creeked, Amoya walked in with an old man that looked older that life, Johnoya covered her mouth to stifle a laugh looking away. The old man squinted his eyes at her  but said nothing.

"I see you are on time my prince, very good. I am the elder here and as you know one of the first to arrive as is Amoya our now leader, we both will be administering your lessons. I expect nothing but cooperative behavior. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. I-". The old man was interrupted by the mage.

"What he meansto say is that we are happy that you decided to be clam about this hole thing and accept us. It is not easy to accept a life you never knew." Amoya said with the same sad smile from before.

"I don't have a choice really ". Johnoya muttered

"Hmmm, speak up so we can hear you". The old man said.
