Dragon Riders

Part 5

Preview:

Like a feeling she felt. She tried to ask her dragon's name with her mind. Hoping for her to answer. A pause, no answer as she waited. She thought it did not work but then a soft touch once again entered her mind and she grinned when she hear her dragon answer

Avelar..

Avelar, she repeated her name in her mind. The name flowed effortlessly in her head as honey. That name fit her perfectly.

Present:

LUNA'S POV

I adjust the weight of my dragon as we walk to the cafeteria. Cringing when i felt my stomach growl with the hunger for food. I looked at Avelar and smiled when she was crooning and leaning on my head.

So cutee...

Resisting the urge to pet her, i continue to walk faster to the bustling crow inside the cafeteria. I darted my eyes to where Trizna and Dwade could be and waved when i locked eyes with them. Seeing them wave, I hastily weaved through the crowds and sat down on the table.

"Hey Luna!!"

"Hi!!"

"Awww, is that you're dragon!?" Trizna eyes sparkled and went to pet Avelar. She crooned happily at the touch and leaned on her hand like she did with my head. I chuckled at the cute display.

"Yep. Her name is Avelar" I said softly as Trizna sat down once again.

"She's beautiful" Dwade smiled while looking at the dragon. Avelar puffed her chest like she understood that and i let out a short laugh. But when dwade went to pet her, he suddenly stopped and his eyes widened. He turned to me in confusement

"Did you already name your dragon?" Trizna seemingly realize something and look at me too. I squirmed when their gaze held me tight in the spot.

"Uhh yeah?? She told me right after she hatch. Why?" I slowly ask

Trizna shook her head "Luna...Newly hatched dragons can't communicate until they are 1 week old. " She said, wonder in her eyes as she look at Avelar.

"Oh.." i blinked my eyes at her statement and look at my dragon. She notice our stares and blink her eyes and tilt her head cutely, whining.

"I guess Avelar here is a special dragon" I look at Dwade, who is smiling in amazement and i smiled back too. She is already special...

"Yeah..i never heard of a dragling communicating right before they hatch. But!" Trizna exclaimed " It's ok, cuz this little sweetheart here means that she is gonna grow up strong. Right babyy Avwelar?" Trizna cooed at her as she touch her snout, my little dragon cooed in happiness as she come closer. I smiled and felt pride blossom in my chest at the thought of Avelar growing up strong and mighty. I could imagine all the journey and missions we will come across through when we both got older. I could picture us flying high up in the sky, with our armours and Avelar flapping her wings majestically. I sighed and smiled with excitement.

Suddenly, a rumble followed through my stomach and i blushed in embarrassment, i grin at the two sheepishly as they shook their heads.
