Being a Rider is not skill. It is not spells and sparring and flight. It is becoming a piece of a much bigger chess board, fighting against the dark while remaining in the light. And when darker powers start to grow, it is about sacrifice and giving every ounce of yourself to prevent it from taking over our world. ~cover by Ashulman19
