Dragon Rider

Saphira is a seventeen year old teenage girl who's parents have given her an arranged marriage. But she will not allow it, so she saddles up her horse and rides to find a dragon to call her own.

Her father has a dragon and so does her older brother, they are only two out of thousands of Dragon Riders. But even though they are large in numbers doesn't mean that they are all special. For only the gifted Riders go to the famous and well known, Dragon Rider Academy.

But Saphira's mother does not wish for her daughter to become a rider. She wants her to be a housewife. And her wish may come true as there is only five female Riders out of them all.

But with a dragon found and an unbreakable bond made, new powers are unleashed and there is little that her family can do.

For nobody can stop destiny.

"Beautiful creatures aren't they?" I jumped and squeaked in surprise.

My head spun to the left and the stranger laughed lightly as she leaned against the fence. "I apologise, I did not mean to startle you." I blinked at the tall and very beautiful woman as she gazed up at the flying lizards. She had eyes the colour of grass and hair as golden as the sun. Her dress was white like mine, but it was so long that it just touched the ground. While a ring of flowers of all different colours rested on her head like a crown.

I looked back up to where the dragons flew in the sky and nodded. "Yes," I whispered and sighed sadly when they roared one last time before disappearing in the clouds. I looked back at the pretty lady and smiled politely, "my name is Saphira."

She smiled down at me and bowed her head slightly. "It is a pleasure to meet you Saphira, I am Titania."
