AGES: Anaya: 14, Percy: 20 Anaya looked around herself in astonished wonder as she was led to the top of the hill. She couldn't believe that she and Lacey had finally found Excalibur! It was incredible to look around and see all these humans and dragons interacting with one another. She couldn't help but stare at the scene in front of her, delighted with what she saw. The person who led them in walked away, asking for them to wait there for the person who was going to show them around the camp. Anaya didn't mind waiting. Her 14-year-old mind was delighted to be looking around and discovering new things as she observed the small encampment below them. She watched, enthralled as she watched dragons and humans interacting with one another. She wanted a dragon! Hopefully she would be able to find one that wanted to bond with her. That's one of the reasons why she and Lacey were looking for Excalibur. Watching all the people and dragons made her smile. "How long do you think we'll have to wait before we can go down?" she asked her older sister, entirely excited. Lacey just rolled her eyes at her younger sister. "When they tell us we can. Just be patient, won't you?" she asked, a smile tugging on the corners of her lips. Anaya nodded, determined to wait patiently, though she was also bouncing on the balls of her feet as she stared at everything she could see. PERSEUS CAREW

Perseus adjusted his dragon tooth necklace. The single tooth marking him as a corporal. He had earned the rank of corporal just the last week and was very proud of the rank. He had worked for two years to earn it. Shenya lounged outside his hut. She puffed out a smoke ring to show her boredom.
You are going to be late, Perc. She said into his mind. Perseus fixed his hair one last time then walked out of the building.
For your information, I am going to be early. He thought as he started walking to the top of the hill where the new comers were being brought.
Shenya stood up, shaking some loose scales off before following him. Is that so? Huh, I wonder who those two young ladies are I see standing at the top of the hill. It couldn't be the people you are supposed to be escorting. No... That would mean you are... gasp! Late! she nipped at his back as she finished causing him to start running.
He ran all the way up the hill, arriving at the top only slightly winded. He was very fit after all, it was only right for a corporal to be in peak physical condition. He straightened his leather jacket and ran his hand through his hair.
"Ah, you are here. Welcome to Elysium." Perseus dramatically waved his hand over the camp. "My name is corporal Perseus Carew. You can call me Perseus. Or Corporal Perseus. And what are your names?" He looked the two girls over noticing the younger of the two nearly bouncing off the ground.

Anaya continued watching everyone in the village until she saw a guy running up the hill toward her and Lacey. He was handsome, tall with dark dark hair and Anaya stared at him as she stood there. Was he the guy that was going to introduce them to the camp? He seemed so young, even though he was definitely older than her. He approached them, waving to the camp as he welcomed them. He gave his name and Anaya nodded. "Corporal Perseus Carew," she repeated in her own mind, making sure she'd remember. Lacey introduced herself before Anaya could and then Anaya jumped in before her sister could introduce her. "I'm Anaya Isobel Morne," she said with a smile. She blushed as she looked up at him, then turned her attention to the camp. Why was she blushing? What was going on? PERSEUS CAREW

Perseus made sure he remembered the girls names, repeating them in his mind several times before moving on. The younger one, Anaya's face turned bright red before she turned away. He puffed his chest out a little. He had that effect on the ladies. My, my, someone has a high opinion of himself. Shenya thought, annoyed that he hadn't introduced her. He ignored her words. "This is my dragon, Shenya. He said, wrapping his arm around her scarlet neck. Her head was only a few inches taller than his when she reached for something, so it was fairly easy to manhandle her when he wanted too. She whipped her head out from under his arm then coughed a warm lava ball at him which he swatted away. "Anyway, this way to camp." He started walking down the hill, one hand on Shenya's neck. anaya isobel morne

He was talking again, introducing his dragon and Anaya spun back to face him. His dragon was beautiful. She was red, a little taller than Persues' and she just looked regal. Anaya loved her. "You're so pretty ..." she said softly, taking a step toward the dragon before stopping herself. She didn't know a thing about dragons. She didn't know if they could talk to humans or even understand them or how the bonding thing worked or anything. "She's amazing," Anaya told Perseus, not even looking at him. Then he started walking, his dragon following along behind him, breaking Anaya out of her trance. She followed behind, looking from side to side as he gave her and Lacey a tour of the place. There was so much to see, but the tour also seemed to take no time at all. She loved everything about this place. PERSEUS CAREW

Two Years Later - AGE: Anaya: 16 Percy: 22 Percy had been called to the main hall, a short building in the center of Elysium. The doorway was large enough for Rygain to enter, and the building was big enough for him only because it extended into the earth. That meant is was not even a thought if Shenya could fit. Often she had to judge the width of a door before proceeding. Not so with the main hall. They entered and stopped in front of the simple stool Elin Dragon-Rider sat on. Her bonded dragon, Rygain, king of the dragons, sat behind her dwarfing everything in the building. Light shone off his brilliant silver and blue scales, blinding if you looked directly at them. Elin was a sight herself, a large tattoo on her face overlapped racing lighting scars that covered the rest of her face. Both terrifying and beautiful. "Corporal Perseus, you have been recommended as a...." There was a pause, common with the chief, before a deep rumble grew in Rygain's chest. It seemed to bring Elin back into the present. "bonding companion." she continued as if there hadn't been a long, awkward pause. "I believe you know Anaya Morne? She and a dragon have chosen to bond. Are you willing to take this responsibility?"Percy felt his heart skip a beat. This was a privilege given to very few people. He knew Shenya was having a similar conversation with Rygain by the rumbles come from her next to him. "Yes, Yes I accept the privilege of being Anaya's bonding companion."Elin waved her hand to the side of the room where Anaya stood next to a dragon who looked vaguely familiar. Percy bowed to Elin and Rygain then walked over to Anaya. "So, bonding with a dragon are ya? Nice!" anaya isobel morne

Anaya's eyes glittered with excitement as she looked around the Great Hall. She always hoped that this day would come, the day when she could actually bond with a dragon and join the ranks of real dragon riders in the world. She didn't want it for the prestige or anything, she just loved dragons. She wanted to have one as her best friend, wanted to have the type of relationship with it that she'd seen others have with their dragons for the past two years. Which is why, when she first befriended Illyana a few months ago, Anaya made a particular point out of getting to know one another. They grew closer and closer until finally, they approached Ryagin and Elin, asking for the interviews required if one wanted to bond with a dragon. They just finished those interviews and were standing to one side of the Great Hall, watching as their Bonding Companions entered the room. Anaya gasped softly, an instant blush spreading to her cheeks when she recognized the human. It was Corporal Perseus, the guy she'd crushed on since the day she joined Excalibur. He was still so handsome. She took a deep breath, looking at Illyana and smiling. She didn't want him to know she still paid attention to him. She listened as Elin asked him if he was willing to help her and Illyana bond, her heart pounding furiously. Corporal Perseus probably didn't even remember her or anything. He was too busy doing more important things, she was sure. Still, he agreed and Anaya smiled instantly, nodding when he approached her. "Yeah! This is Illyana," she introduced her dragon, who nodded her head. Illyana was an older dragon. Not ancient, but she was around three hundred years old. "So, how does this work?" She asked, following as Illyana started leaving the great hall. Yeah, they probably weren't supposed to stay here forever. PERSEUS CAREW

Percy walked with hand on Shenya's neck, leaving the great hall with Anaya. "Well, the actual bond is different with each dragon and Rider. But there are a few things we can tell you to make it a little easier adjusting. Like... do you ever have thoughts you never want anyone to know about, ever?" He asked. Yeah, Perc, way to put her at ease. 'tell me your deep dark secrets.' I'm sure she is less scared now. Shenya nudged his head, sniffing in his hair to mess it up. Hey, she doesn't have to tell me her deep dark secrets, I just want her to be aware that she will have to share her mind with a potentially annoying dragon! He ran his hand through his hair to put in back place. Then shoved Shenya away from him playfully. anaya isobel morne

His hand was on his dragon and Anaya smiled at the sight. She loved the way the two of them interacted. It was one of the reasons she'd wanted to bond with a dragon so badly. She nodded as he explained how things were different between every dragon and Rider. Then he started asking if she had thoughts she didn't want anyone to know. Anaya shrugged a little. She didn't really have any major secrets ... except for the fact that she liked him and she already told Lacey about that. It wouldn't be that big of a deal to tell her dragon too. "I mean, not a lot ... not any that I want to keep a secret from Illyana," she admitted, smiling over at Illyana as the dragon looked at her and nodded her head. She glanced back over at Corporal Perseus. "What else could make it easier?" She smiled as she watched him play with his hair before pushing his dragon. Oh, he was soooo handsome! And she loved the way he interacted with his dragon. PERSEUS CAREW

Percy nodded. "Good, cause nothing. I mean nothing, is private once you bond. But you get used to it. And it is actually really nice to have someone always there. Someone who loves you no matter what. He put his hand back on Shenya's neck. It was just so comfortable to be near her, to touch her. Her scales were warm to the touch, as would be expected from a fire dragon. It was really nice when it got cold, he just curled up next to Shenya and didn't even need a blanket. "What else? When you actually go to bond, make sure that you are honest. Sometimes we lie to ourselves because it is easier than the truth. If we bring those lies into the bond it create friction and prevents it from becoming as strong as it could be." He lead them to a hill top shaded by trees. Shenya lay down, snaking her head around so she could still see everything. He sat against her flank, playing with her tail as she flicked it gently on his lap. anaya isobel morne

What he was saying made sense. You couldn't really keep a secret from someone you shared a mind with, but at the same time it sounded amazing to be able to tell someone who would love you no matter what. Sure, she knew her sister would always love her, but that was different. Lacey- while amazing- didn't understand everything about her. She couldn't, even if she wanted to. Anaya smiled at his description, "It sounds amazing," she answered softly.
Then Corporal Perseus was talking about how you shouldn't lie when you bond. Honesty was important. Okay, that make sense. She wasn't entirely sure how one lied when they bonded. No one seemed to have an exact definition of bonding either. She just ... wanted to do it right, but she wasn't exactly sure how.
She and Illyana followed him and Shenia to the hilltop, sitting down beside one another, but not touching like the other two. Anaya glanced over to the dragon that she'd soon be bonded to (hopefully). She smiled and then, to her surprise, Illyana bent forward and rested her head on Anaya's lap, sighing and closing her eyes. Anaya's eyes were wide, but a delighted grin covered her face when she looked to Corporal Perseus.

ONE MONTH LATER Percy jumped on Shenya’s back, exulting in the experience of melding his mind with hers. They flapped their wings several times and were suddenly in the air, scoring over Elysium. People looked up and waved as they passed, children ran underneath them trying to keep up. Percy felt his body sit straight up and spread his arms wide. This feeling, this was what he lived for. It wasn’t long until they came to the spot where they were to meet Anaya and Illyana. Reluctantly Percy pulled his mind from Shenya’s allowing them to become two seperant identities again. He had asked other riders and only the most experienced had said they melded their minds with their dragons. Elin and Rygain were nearly constantly in the state. It was something that took a great deal of practice, and trust. Some riders never got the hang of it. But the benefits were amazing. Percy stepped off of Shenya, grinning broadly. We need to do that more. he laughed as she emphatically agreed in his mind. he hugged her neck and then kissed her nose. I love you Shenya. He said then looked around the glade for Anaya and Illyana. anaya isobel morne

Anaya and Illyana did it! She wasn't entirely sure how the two of them had bonded, but two days ago as they talked with one another she heard the dragon's voice speaking to her mind. Anaya jumped, looking around herself in surprise just to hear a chuckle in her mind. "You're fine Anaya, it's just me." Anaya stared at her dragon. Her dragon, Illyana and squealed in delight, moving to hug her. They spent that day and the next together, walking around and talking with one another. They hadn't even gone back to camp, since they were too busy discovering this new relationship between them. Anaya loved it. This was everything she ever wanted, and Illyana was the perfect dragon for her. She was encouraging and motherly and just supportive. Even though Anaya knew she was young and immature, Illyana didn't seem to mind that at all, which was more than encouraging. Today they were going to learn how to fly. Anaya was excited and nervous. "Do you think it'll be hard?" She asked Illyana, who laughed and shook her head, "Flying is as easy as walking. Your Corporal will help you figure it out." Anaya blushed, pushing Illyana's leg. "He's not MY Corporal. He was just assigned to help me," she argued, though she knew her dragon was just teasing. She already knew about Anaya's crush on Perseus Carew. They were sitting in the shade of a tree when Corporal Perseus and Shenya landed nearby. Anaya's eyes watched them carefully as they approached, trying to see if there were any tricks to this or anything, but she couldn't see anything. She picked at the grass around her nervously, waiting for the two to see her and Illyana and approach. PERSEUS CAREW

After a moment, Shenya nudged Percy toward a large tree where a girl sat next to an iridescent white dragon. Percy thought about running over there, but it would be way more fun to ride on Shenya, so he climbed onto her back and let her trot over to meet the two. Sometimes Percy wondered if older dragons felt defensive or ashamed to be taught by a younger dragon. A much younger dragon. But if they did, they never showed it. People could learn a thing or two from dragons. "I hear congratulations are in order." Percy said as they came near to Anaya. He jumped down and ran over to give her a hug. "And to you, Illyana." He said as he let go of Anaya and gave a small bow to Illyana. Shenya had a grin on her face, which was strange on her dragon features, but entirely appropriate. Percy went back over to her. "Are you ready to Fly Anaya?" This was one of the best parts about being a dragon Rider. Flying. It almost didn't matter that he could get the lava powers when he was in the sky with Shenya. anaya isobel morne

After landing and dismounting, Corporal Perseus got back onto his dragon to come over here. Anaya couldn't help but lift an eyebrow at him. Really? He couldn't just walk over here? Was he trying to be impressive or something? She heard Illyana laughing in her mind, but Anaya shrugged it off, rising to her feet as the dragon and rider drew near. When he got close enough, Corporal Perseus jumped off of his dragon and ran over to Anaya, giving her a hug. She was stunned and didn't even hug him back. "Illyana, he's touching me!" She squealed in her mind. Her dragon laughed, "Aren't you going to hug him back?" Anaya quickly returned the hug, a little late, but right before he let go of her and spoke to Illyana. The dragon nodded her head in response to her congratulations. He asked Anaya if she was ready to fly and she nodded. "Yes! What do I do?" She'd already been taught how to saddle Illyana and was ready for that, but her stomach was rolling with nerves and excitement now. It was about to happen! Illyana nudged Anaya's back with her nose and Anaya reached over to rub her nose as she looked over at Corporal Persus, waiting. PERSEUS CAREW
