It was warm this time of year, in my town. the forest was always beautiful but in my opinion it was always better in summer. summer was always better, the dragon riders would be chosen. Former dragon riders, would fight for towns so they would go to there academy. My father was a dragon rider, but my father and his dragon where killed when dark demons where trying to invade. mother hasn't been the same after that so in a way it was like both my parents left me and my brother that day, I was only 12. Luckily father taught me how to hunt, fight an fix things(do things men were suppose to do) since I was 6 years old. Mother has been getting better in the last couple years she's nearly back to herself.

In a week it will be choosing day, its my year to be tested my brother ( Jason ) was tested last year he got dragon rider an shifter he's just like father. Mother and father said they met at the academy but they never said how mother got there. I'm awoken from my thoughts by a deer passing by as soon as I shoot my bow the arrow hits in the middle of its eyes. I turn on my horse, and grab the deer as we ride back to town. I've been in the woods for two days now and I've killed five rabbits and the deer but I've also gathered some berries and other edible plants.

when I get home mother is fixing my dress and capes, the dress goes all the way down to my ankles but flowed free. the arms were tight fitted but flowed free at my elbows, were a my capes have big hoods so I can hide my face and flow over my body and stopped just above my dresses. when she noticed me she stopped what she was doing and motioned me forward "afternoon, sweetheart how was your hunt" "it was great mother, actually i was just about to change and do my normal run around... I got your favorite berry's" as I said that last sentance I watched my mothers face light up like a child. I love it when she did that." ok you can leave the berries with me I will look after them while you go do your rounds,... how's that sound Erica" I want to laugh at her face but I hold it back and say "okay mother have a nice date with your berries" as soon as I say that we both start laughing.
