A dragon rider's tale

Lessons

When I came out Steven had his mouth open. I started to blush when i saw his face.

"Aww you're beautiful and it's made of a metal fiver so it's almost unbreakable"

"Thanks". I grabbed my clothes and was accompanied to my room by Steven. When I got there I threw in my clothes in a bag and sat down( I was still in the armor suit thing). Steven said I had to take the test.'don't worry it's about how well you use weapons'

' I know I never knew how to wield them'

'It's just like playing fetch with Bessie except without letting go and Bessie'

'How do you know about Bessie she died 3 years ago'

'it's still fresh in your memory'

'You can look in my memory'

'And you mine'

'Have you grown?, I know dragons grow fast'

' yes I'm about the size of a horse'

'Do you know how to fly, al least yet?'

'No I am about to learn I about an hour or two on how to use my wings properly'

"If I may interrupt your chat we need to do the test".

' talk with you after the test ax'

" I'm coming, Steven". We took a ride on a lift to the courtyard. There were wooden swords, wooden daggers, bows and arrows and throwing knifes.

"These are the standard weapons, let's see how you can use them, first the swords". I picked it up like I did a stick, a hold where it can' tea silly be yanked out and also so you could wield it easily.

"Good you can hold a sword, how strong is your hit". He picked up 2 shields. Gave one to me.

" you realize I have never held a weapon before in my life"

" how... How did yup know how to hold it, just like playing fetch with Bessie"

"Who's Bessie?"

"Bessie was my dog"

"Was?"

"She died 3years ago"

"Oh, sorry"

"It's fine". I turned around so my back was to him. Turned around again and hit him in his arm as hard as he could. Then I fell down laughing.

"Ow, you hit hard for a girl. No offense"

"None taken, I thought soldiers were supposed to expect the unexpected"

" in my defense I thought you were crying and your a good guy or girl what ever, that really hurt by the way"

" maybe I am the bad guy". Shock was written on his face. I started laughing again. Then he looked mad and the look when you prank someone.

"Don't joke about that"

"1 if I was bad my dragon would be a darker shade like Kilden's dragon and 2 why would I come here". Steven looked confused.

"Now let's work on blocking".he started to charge me with a sword. I raised it just in time or would get in the stomach. He continued doing that then backed away.

"Good job, not many students can always block that fast"

" maybe it was that I thought I was going to die".then he started to laugh. I came up to him and kicked him as hard as I could in the leg.

"Ow, what was that for?"

"Don't make me angry again or maybe next time you might not have a BODY PART, do you want to have all you body parts?".steven nodded yes

"Then don't make me MAD again, got it". He nodded yes again. I heard laughter in my head.

'You tell him Anita'. Hearing his voice made me laugh.
