Dragon Riders

Syra approached the tree-home warily. dragons were perched around, and swung their heads towards her as she came closer.
Looking around, she called out.
"Hey!"

A face looked at her. "Who might you be?"

"Syra. Dragonrider. I noticed you around and decided to check it out. I haven't seen another dragonrider in a while. May I enter?"

"Your parents be who?" he asked shocked.

"My mother is the queen and my father is the king. The whole cause for the war. Thats why I ran away."

"So wait," Eryn said, "you're the princess?"

She nodded, "yeah."

"Well," Riskid began, "they did begin the war, but they're the king inyou queen, we have to do whatever they say, me, Acro and our dragon. I can't say anything to the. And i'm also I'm supposed to turn you in if I found you."

"Are you?" the princess asked.

"No, if you want to run away from them, I don't blame you."

"The Lokan area," Jeski replied. She looked around the camp. "So why exactly are you and Riskid fighting again?"

"That is a long story," He sighed,

"I have time," She replied with a smile he laughed and started the story.

"Well," Riskid began, "we are fighting because of the king and queen of this area. We are knights we are sworn to our duty. As long as we're sworn to them we get our own land and servants and they," he paused, "won't kill our dragons. They have this spell on them that if we should betray them our dragons will die, and Snolik is like a part of me, and if that part of me dies, I think I will."

"And if we try and run away," Acro added in, "They will kill BOTH of us. Only one person can help us, but he's too far away. We have tried sending mesages to him, but we fear they've been intercepted. Its a mirical our dragons, and ourselves, are still living."

*again, im at a slight lack of words*

"If anyone is has a dragon born or come to them," Riskid said, "then you are supposesed to be in automatic service to the king and queen. "Snolik and I were born together, so we were in service to them sine the day we were born. We wish to run away, but we can't. If I have the slightest chance the king and queen would be dead and me and Snolik would be far away."

Riskid stood up and walked over to Snolik and huggd him. "I just can't imagine a life without him."

"And I him," Snolik replied, "but we now have a plan since you are here princess."

Alania crossed her arms, "what do you have in mind? If it has anything to do with me going back there you can just choke on it, because the chances of that happening are slim to none."

"If that is the plan you wouldn't have much say in it."

"If being the operative word I hope? I would really hate to kill you. But before we get into ifs and such what is your plan?"

"It somewhat requires you to go back, Riskid said. "We just need to use you as ransom for our freedom, then you can use your dragon to escape from there and you can meet up with us and we can get you far away. We just want our freedom, Snolik and I hate living under someone else's clock."

"Ok," Alania said, "when do you want to be free?"

Riskid smiled. "As soon as possible."

"I don't think my dragon will like that much though," Ariana smiled. "He's very protective."

"I'll talk to him," Snolik said and flew off.

"I hope he doesn't make Namarhie mad, you won't have a dragon anymore then."

"Trust me Snolik is stronger than he looks," Riskid said, "besides he knows how to procuade people and dragons. He got me to jump off his back once, and another time he got me to jump off this tree and onto his back, trust me, not comfortable." The others laughed. "I think he can convince Namarhie."

"If you get your freedom I expect you to help us excape as well."

"Why would you want to really?" another man asked, (pick someone I don't know.)

"Why do you want to be out of their control?"

"Because I can't make any of my own decisions."

"Thats exactly how it was with me. But much deeper, I couldn't wear what I wanted, I couldn't act as I wanted, I couldn't go where I wanted, I couldn't fall in love where I wanted," she glanced at Riskid as she said the last part. "And on top of all of that, if I were to go back for good I would never be able to see Namarhie again."

"You're not like other dragon riders are you?" Riskid asked, "if Namarhie died, or you died, the other would survive?"

"Quite opposite from that, we aren't bound like most dragon and dragon riders are. But if the other died, we would die as well, but from lonliness and a broken heart. We are bound by something stronger than magic."

Jeski smiled when she heard the princess say the last part. She had a crush on Riskid,

*srry couldn't think of anything else*

((I need a better post than that to go off of, but it made me laugh though))

"Well, we'll make sure you and Namarhie aren't seperated," Riskid said. "I promise you that you two won't be apart."

"Thanks," Ariana replied, "but I think that after me running away my parents will make sure I don't get away again."

"I'll make sure you get away, with dragons their are tons of ways to get you out."
