Dragon Mind
In a land long forgotten is a valley. All manner of creatures lived in peace among the rocky greenery. Or as peaceful as possible. Villages consider the land sacred. Every year the sixteen year old children pour in one side, only a few make it out the other. The week long track kills off most of them. Parents beg their young to remain home but most still go in thinking the risk far less than the reward. Familiars, that's why they pour in and rush out. Only Warriors may enter. None are certain how it happens but within a week of return, an animal becomes the survivers familiar. In some cases even a whole herd or even a couple different animals will follow the warrior. Diana should have been a lady, but her soul was never ment for house work. Follow her as she fights for rank and unknowingly falls in love.Complete
