The Dragon Rider: Season 1

Episode 1: The Hard Earned Beginning (Part 1)

Atalanta slowly open her eyes. She felt like she had been floating then she landed hard onto the ground. She took a deep breath in. She looked around and saw a boy. He was probably about 20 and very fit. He'd looked up when she'd looked at him. "You're awake," He said.
Atalanta shook her head. She could talk but she felt weak enough that if she had to answer questions, she wasn't gonna do it immediately. "I'll be right back" He opened the door.
Atalanta sat up against the wall. The room itself was small and sparely decorated. Her outerwear was on the chair in the corner.

Kora had a rough night after that kid had come in. She was obviously a dragon rider, having a dragon amulet. She didn't have a key, so she was young. Poor kid, Kora thought, Does she even know where she is?
Kora looked at the chain the amulet was on. It had fairly standard rider chains, an amulet, a communication device and a piece of red glass defended by a mental dragon. Kora just felt like the girl was important somehow. Theo walked up to her. "She's awake"

Atalanta was at the table. The lady in front of her was a small, chocolate skinned, woman. Her eyes were a deep teal. Atalanta had grown up with tall dragons, the only person that was shorter then me was Victoria. Atalanta grateful accepted the food that she'd been handed. "So can I ask your name?" The stranger ask
"Atalanta DeMogan," Atalanta said finishing the meal, "I have to assume that you're Kora Winter, leader of the Roost Guild and a member of the Rider Council."
"DeMorgan," Kora said, "So you're the King's Daughter."
Atalanta continued, "Yes I am, I am the top of the Northern League."
"Why the hell are you in Siminon?" Kora asked.
"I'd rather not be here as I am, however  I am." Atalanta explained, "I expected to come here until I got my key."
"You have yet to answer my question," Kora explained.
"As you are aware my father is not well liked by the western dragons," Atalanta slowly explained, "As of late, Visions and Dark Riders have formed what is known as the Western coalition. With Cardinal King Apuse dead, his son joined the coalition."
"So King Apuse's death wasn't just a rumor?" Kora inquired
"Yes" Atalanta said, "The coalition is currently under Prince Marcus's leadership."
"So what about this coalition?" Kora asked, curiosity peaked.
"They've been kidnapping dragons for Visions," Atalanta explained, "And since the King and his children would be at the palace this month, they took advantage of it."

(3 days prior)
Atalanta hit the side of the training dummy. Nick sat roosted in the belfry, Victoria nagging him. "You are literally a prince and you're afraid of seeing your sister's boyfriend?!"
"I'm not afraid, I'm avoiding the guy that's twice my size," Nick said.
"Lee isn't twice your size," Atalanta said, "He just happens to have a tail and you just don't."
"He's bigger then me an dragon form!" Nick went further up to the belfry.
Auroras walked in and stood next to Victoria. "I have a proposal," Aurora said to the people on the ground
"Let's hear it Rora." Atalanta said
"First person to get to Nick in the belfry wins 5 minutes alone with Lee in room 114," Aurora said, "no powers just raw strength."
Room 114 was a fairly innocuous room for having fun times. Atalanta was easily the best at having raw energy to climb but would have the disadvantage from training all day. It was evenly matched between the three.
Atalanta agreed, Victoria agreed so the games began.

Atalanta slowly climbed the rope that lead to the belfry. She was far above Victoria and Aurora but to be honest the tough part would be the obstacles. Large rafters that were either triangles or squares poked out from every angle. She'd nearly made it 3 feet from Nick when a deep horn rang through the castle.
Everyone jumped down. That horn was never used. Something was so important that they're father couldn't even call. Atalanta quickly threw on a set of regular clothes. The team migrated to the Kings office, swarming with knights, and riders. They entered unknowingly into a trap.
