Threshing has been the only topic of discussion since the moment I woke up to now as I walk next to haylin into the flight field with all the other cadets.

"I'm so excited and nervous and—and" haylin says her hands shaking.

I take one of her shaking hands in mine "excited and nervous?" I say laughing lightly.

She nods and and squeezes my hand before letting go and walking in a different direction "see you after love you!" She says dragging out the you

"Love you too!" I yell back as I step into the tree line I can already hear the heavy beats of wings soaring through the air.

And the scuffle of boots against the ground. As I walk deeper into the forest the leaves create an canopy above my head blocking out any sunlight.

I take in a deep breath and try my best to relax to see if I feel any pull or calling.

—nothing. i sigh and continue further into the forest the darkness swallowing me whole.

After what might have been two hours of walking through foliage a large clearing comes into view and I let out a sigh of relief finally being out of the trees that seemed to cave in closer to me as I walked further.

Still no dragon still no pull.

I go to step out of the tree line when I hear a small voice in the back of my head.

"Don't move not yet wait for me" I close my eyes and focus on the sound the faint shimmering trace that has been left behind my eyes for only a few seconds then I'm alone once again.

I sigh is it worth listening to this voice that seems to haunt me? I try too look past the trees to see that the sun is dipping behind the mountains it's getting late my heart rate starts to pick up as I think of the consequences for sneaking in a year early if I don't bond a dragon and I'm left here when they come to get me it's all over, it all sends shivers down my spine. I push all of the thoughts of not bonding a dragon to the back of my head and try my best to focus on the present.

It's been atleast an hour since I was told to wait in that time I have climbed to the very top of a tree and found a steady enough branch to sit and wait on. it's now dark, and cold. This is shit how long until they pull me me out of here anyways shit shit shit if I don't a bond an dragon who knows what will happen to me since well I'm not meant to be here.

Fuck me.

I through me head back hitting the ruff bark of the tree trunk my eyes begin to flutter shut exhaustion trying to take over when I hear the heavy beats of wings soaring through the air I jolt up and climb to my feet to get a better look to see if it really is a dragon.

I look up into the night sky where three dragons are snarling at each other? Dragon drama that sounds interesting not gonna lie ok focus I squint to try and make out what's really happening when one of the large dragon's breaths out a bright orange flame illuminating them
All for a short moment there colours are so unique the one breathing fire is such a light blue it's almost white while the other is a lilac? And the smaller one is— staring right at me. Why me rule one never make eye contact with a dragon oh my gods I'm screwed.

I quickly duck blending into the shadows slowly I climb down from the tree just as my feet hit the ground it's being lit on fire. flames lick the bottom of my boots. I run to get away from the now spreading fire I continue to move away from it I run out into the clearing the grass now almost completely flattened or burnt from the dragons.

Breath just breath, I try to think about how I can get out of here and run far far away without getting my head chopped off I never thought of a plan B bonding a dragon was my ticket to safety and it does not seem like that's happening. I close my eyes and focus on controlling my breath I start laying out my surroundings in my head it's always helped seeing everything more clearly in my head.

I feel searing heat run up my body making me jump back my eyes now wide open the dragons have somehow found there way too me and now I am literally in middle of this battle I try to back away but fire blocks all of my exits. Why me

I hate this I hate this I repeat in my head as I fall to the ground planting my hands in front of my just as my mother taught me asking to harness the earths power never take always ask I smile as I feel the familiar power begin to run through my veins. Closing my eyes I focus on blowing out the fire as soon as I get enough out I make a run for it and yet I'm pulled back in to the middle by a sparkling magnetic pull I look up to see an irradiance seemingly glowing dragon in the moonlight.

Thank the gods. Not paying attention to the raging battle I am stood in the middle of I feel flames lick my back and as I turn around fire is being shot directly at me never mind the world hates me. "𝒯𝒽ℴℯ𝓈 𝒶𝓇ℯ 𝓈ℴ𝓂ℯ 𝓈𝒽𝒾𝓉 𝓁𝒶𝓈𝓉 𝓌ℴ𝓇𝒹𝓈 𝒾 𝒹𝒾𝒹𝒾𝓃𝓉 𝓉𝒶𝓀ℯ 𝓎ou 𝒻ℴ𝓇 ℴ𝓃ℯ 𝓉ℴ 𝑔𝒾𝓋ℯ 𝓊𝓅" I jump hearing another's voice in my head not only that but I open my eyes to see I'm engulfed in the same irradiance scales I saw above me.
