The First

Prologue

"You have to be the best and most powerful rider you can be" he whispered.

"But what if the bond dies out in mid-fight I don't want to die and I don't want my Dragäe to be injured or killed" I looked up at him with hope and fear in my color changing eyes.

"Your Dragäe is a beautiful creature that can go higher than any other animal I have seen in my life" his chocolate brown eyes reassured me that going into this battle and revealing and telling the world and kingdom that the Dragäe were not trying to kill us but trying to survive. I knew in that moment that what I was about to do is necessary and completely appropriate.
I will be with you through this whole fight.

My Dragäe, my beautiful creature who I had raised since he was just out of his egg spoke to me in my mind. I hardened my expression all of a sudden, tightened the straps on my boots. I stood up and my eyes I could feel changing to the gold that it turns before I mount my Dragäe.

"Stefan, I need to mount" I said lovingly.

My red beauty came to me and lowered his shoulder so I was able to vault up to the saddle. But just as I put my foot in the stirrup this handsome man with chocolate brown eyes grabbed me and kissed me like he didn't want me to leave. I kissed him back just as hard as he kissed me.

"Find me a Dragäe while your out, I don't care what color just as long as I get the connection you and Stefan have and that you return to me" he said breathily.

"I promise to return to you, Dragäe in tow" I said as I pressed my lips to his one last time. And at that moment I took off running towards the cliff. When I leaped and felt the air whistle passed my ears then, the familiar feeling of the muscular beast beneath me as I strapped my legs in and took the reins. Together we soared away leaving my love behind for the moment.
