It had been twenty two years since Castien's mother was taken by the Purifiers. He thought about her and his father every day, but the sorrow that had once plagued him had diminished. At times sadness would creep in. He tried to remember all of the happy memories he had with his parents. Those magical moments are what helped him move on and find happiness again. Living his life of solitude Castien had all the time in the world to hone his geokinesis. And he loved every moment of it! Underground he felt strong, powerful and confident. He felt as if he was building his own subterranean kingdom. Years of exploring had helped him create a massive underground labyrinth and he was the master. Lately he had been focusing on the mountain watching over Elysium forest. He was drawn to its mystery. Once he reached the base of the mountain the going had been slow. He wasn't used to working with so much solid stone, but after a couple of months he was beginning to pick up the pace. He could sense the rocks hardness and gauge how much energy was needed to move it or tunnel through it. He started the day before dawn broke. He wanted to see just how far up he could go. Maybe he would even take a a look at the outside world when he reached the peak. Up and up he tunneled for most of the morning. He often lost complete track of time on his daily adventures. He decided to rest around what he guessed to be midday. His stomach gurgled. He slapped his tail against the tunnel wall and felt the vibrations ripple through the earth like water. Maybe he'd find a rabbit or two asleep in their burrow. Then he felt a void open upward to his left. Curiosity overcame hunger. As he tunneled closer the void kept going. The space kept growing. It was enormous! He had to have a look! Cautiously he rounded out a hole big enough for his head to stick out. It was a magnificent cave. The cave was sparsely lit by bioluminescent fungi that grew along the walls, but that didn't matter much to Castien. He was used to dim light if not complete darkness. He swiveled his head to take the whole scene in. The beauty of the cave almost took his breath away! Maybe he'd make this his summer home. All different types and colors of stone ran in veins up the cave walls and through the floor. White, silver, dark green, even blue! The back of the cave was covered brilliant blue stone that jutted out at all angles. He had never sensed this type of rock before. He wanted to get a closer look when something behind him made him stop. He saw a jagged circle of light. It lead to the outside! Fear and excitement fought inside him. The tragedies in his life had all come from above the ground. He should keep his distance or better yet turn the other way, but he felt a pull towards the open sky. New rocks would have to wait. His curiosity and wonder overpowered his fear and slowly began walking toward the light. Then he froze as a wave of hot breath washed over him...

Ryagin left the bustle of the wind in the trees, dragons and riders speaking to one another, and the daily marks of life. He left if all behind for the solitude of his cave. As long as solitude included Elin. There had been a time when he wanted nothing more than to be alone, to never been seen or even spoken of again. But then he met Elin. She had brought hope back into his life, and with it she had brought companionship, compassion, and love. He walked into the cavern, ducking his head at the entrance, but then rising to his full height once he got into the cave proper. Elin followed close behind him, running her hand along his scales as she walked to his front. You really did luck out of finding such a magnificent cave. She reminded him, yet again. He knew this cave was miraculous, and he knew Elin was right. What surprises me is that Ryluth has not found it yet. Surely she would think to look here first. Or perhaps a mirror. Elin smiled at her jab at the queen. Ryluth frowned. Yes, Ryluth was vain, however for some reason, he still loved her. How could he not? She had raised him, taught him and loved him.If she still did now, that was up for debate. It isn't kind to make fun. He cautioned. Elin looked at him up through her lashes, and smirked. I jest in the safety of our minds, though your feelings are the only ones I care about. I will not make fun, if you wish me not to. she set her hand on his leg, a genuine smile on her face. The smile fell as the room shook gently. Ryagin moved quickly, as did his rider. She taking out her swords and he wrapping his tail around her and bearing his teeth. Had they jested too soon? Had Ryluth finally found them? The dragon and rider slowly moved closer to the cave wall, not wanting to draw attention to themselves. Suddenly a head popped out of the rock. Confused by the unfamiliar sent, Ryagin crouched down closer to Elin, making sure she had a spot to look on through his protective covering of wings and tail. He would not lose her, nor let her get hurt. But she hated not knowing what was going on, and if a battle was coming, then she would enter it, and there was nothing Ryagin could do to stop her. The head rose higher and a body followed. It swiveled back and forth, right in front of where Ryagin and Elin were standing. I don't think he is harmful, look at his eyes and body language, he is in awe. Elin touched Ryagin's tail, moving it out of the way slightly. Only one way to find out. Ryagin said. He snaked his head forward, right behind the small dragon's head and let out a heavy breath. "What are you doing here, little dragon?"

Elin and Ryagin had been together for so long, yet they still had so much to learn about each other. Ryagin had learned that she didn't like to be coddeled and wanted to see what was happening. He had given her part of her desire, spreading his wings and allowing her to see out of them. She understood the protective nature he had adopted, she felt it to. Of course she would want to protect Ryagin, he was so much a part of her, and she loved him. But she didn't want him to keep her from the fight, or whatever this was. She hated that. The visitor to the cave was what looked like a young dragon, which is what caused her to look closer. He was full of wonder, ready for an adventure. Ryagin put his head behind the dragon, but Elin stayed in the shadows. She wanted to be part of the action, however dragons had their own ways of dealing with things. She would only interfere if she saw the need.

The wonder and spark of adventure was smothered as he felt the hot gust on every scale. Ice spread from his heart to his extremities. Castien could not see how his senses hadn't alerted him of the cave's owner. Ever so slightly he turned his head and knew he was done for. He had never set eyes on the enormous blue dragon behind him, but he knew very well who he was. Only the second most ruthless dragon next to Ryluth and the father of them all; Ryagin. Castien's best option was a quick death. One snap of Ryagin's massive jaws and his life would end. Castien's worst option was to be taken to Mount Gorgoth. Castien would never let himself be taken. He took a deep breath and turned to face his death. He rose himself to his full height (which obviously pailed in comparison to Ryagin's grandure) and looked Ryagin straight in the eye. "I will not be your captive! I will die honorably like my parents before me! Do your worst!" For once in his he controlled his fears and took courage. Then a movement by Ryagin's hind leg caught his eye. He looked closely and a pair of eyes stared back at him. A pair of human eyes...

"Do you worst." Ryagin forced an amused look from showing on his face. Did this little green dragon know who he was, or was he just frightened of a much larger dragon. He felt Elin move behind him, getting a better look at the dragon, though he kept his eyes on the intruder. The small dragon's eye widened as he looked at Elin. Ryagin growled, would this dragon try to harm her. He crouched down smaller. I don't think you need to be so worried, you are terrifying him. Elin thought. He may be terrified, however that is a very dangerous emotion for dragons.Ryagin glanced at her momentarily. Elin pursed her lips, staring at her dragon's face.

She wasn't about to let a potential ally slip away, or let Ryagin scare him away. But she also had learned caution, the hard way. stepping around Ryagin's tail, ignoring his objections in her mind, she moved one step closer to the small dragon. "Dragon, we won't hurt you." she promised, though her hands were on her sword and long-knife. She was aware of the danger, but this was nothing she and Ryagin couldn't cover together. Elin, I don't think this is a good idea. You don't think any of my ideas are good ones, but you can see how great the last one was by just looking out of your cave. You have good ideas. I know. she thought with a smirk.

When the human's eyes met his Castien couldn't seem to look away. He expected to see hatred and rage, but he saw caution and curiosity. The strangest thing was watching Ryagin react to it. Castien had always been told of the large dragon's hate for humans and yet he seemed to be protecting it; shielding it from him. He found that odd since he was merely a puny snake in comparison to Ryagin's size and strength. The human moved out from behind Ryagin's wing. It stepped slowly and then it spoke to him! "Dragon, we won't hurt you." He recognized the voice as female. Castien's jaw dropped. He would have bet all the gold in Ryluth's mountain that a human would never ever say that to any dragon! The hurt and pain of the loss of his parents resurfaced. The hole in his heart seemed to be ripping open again. "NO! Humans and dragons alike have taken too much from me!"
Something primitive took hold inside of him. His courage broke to pieces as the surge of memories flooded his mind. Instinct took over and it told him to run! He bolted toward the mouth of the cave. He heard the woman curse and he felt the ground shake as though an avalanche were on his tail. Except this avalanche could fly and shoot lightning... Castien's size did prove to be an advantage and his agility was uncanny. He was going to reach the entrance first! He was running faster than he ever thought he could. Adrenaline and fear clouded everything. Which is why he didn't see the ledge until it was too late. The cave was at the top of a cliff face so tall he couldn't see the ground below him. He toppled over the edge of the cave mouth and one thought penetrated his mind. "I can't fly."

Ryagin watched as Elin worked to sooth the little dragon. It was amusing to watch the internal struggle of the little dragon. It was amusing, until he charged toward Elin. Ryagin scooped her up in his claw, protecting her from the dragon that... ran right past her yelling some nonsense about humans and dragons never working together. "Storm me!" Elin cursed in Ryagin's claw. "Put me down, Ryagin!" she yelled, angry that he pulled her from something she could handle. Ryagin and she ran after the dragon. Rygain's footsteps thundered across the ground. The dragon reached the edge of the cliff and seemed to teeter on the edge for a moment before falling over the edge. Elin looked over the edge and frowned. "He is not flying... Ryagin, his wings are so small! I don't think he can fly!" She cried out to him. He brought his wings in tight against himself, barely fitting through the opening, then jumped off of the edge. Elin took a running start and then jumped out and dove toward Ryagin's back and her waiting position behind his spikes.
They dove down and Rygain held out his claws and caught the small green dragon in one grip. He flapped his wings a few times, then let the wind carry him, soaring through the air. He aimed for a small clearing, far away from camp and landed there, letting go of the dragon.

This human was nuts! He saw Ryagin dive out of the cave after him, and he had expected that, but then this crazy female launched herself off of the cliff face! Wow she must really hate dragons to dive off a cliff after one.
What happened broke every boundary he had been told about humans and dragons. She dove towards Ryagin's back and smoothly slipped into the hollow between his shoulder blades...and the father of all dragons let. her. do it! Castien's brain felt like it was short circuiting. A human and a dragon together! And not just any dragon, Ryagin for heavens sake!
His thoughts whirled around in his head so fast that he barely felt Ryagin touch ground in a small clearing. Something had changed in the world and he wanted to know what it was.

Elin jumped off of Rygain's back. And stalked over to the small dragon.
"If you can't fly, why on earth would you think it was a good idea to jump off of a cliff!" She couldn't hold back her anger. She worked to protect dragons and humans, and this dragon would just throw his life away doing something he knew was stupid. Ryagin set his paw in front of her. She looked up at him with a rage she hadn't felt in a long time. ELIN! Rygain shouted in her mind. She jumped, startled at his intensity, then composed herself. She took a deep breath and stepped back. Ryagin stepped toward the dragon. Elin watched as he approached cautiously.
