Re ally??
The first human to bond with a dragon and now this Alarik sighs spreading out on the cave side opposite. You're special Beauty. There no denying itt. Alarik said.
I closed my ears hearing Alarik words.
Special?
The word reverberates in my ease as I drift into a fithful sleep.
Beauty dreams are of human hunts, glittering balls and the roars of a dragon.
When the roars grow closer and far more real.....
I awake with a start.
Alarik is above me,his fingers pressed to his lips.
Shhh. ....
He points up and an enormous dragon shadow passes overhead.
ROAR.
Palace guards...he mummered.
When the shadow passes Alarik stand and I push to my feet.
Why are they so close? I asked
Are they going on training runs.....
I wish it were the case, he replied.
But you fought with a noble publicly my guess is that they are looking for you...Alarik explained.
I was worried you'd say that. Wringing my hands i pace through the cave.
You shouldn't have come for me. Now you're involved.
If will be alright he assured.
No it won't iav seen slaves punished for far less than what happened back there ,j told him.
I could be tortured untill I forget my own name.
I'll protect yo in from that...he said.
You couldn't protect me from that hunt could you? I asked.
I turn to run back into the safery of the cave but he catches my wrist.
Please let me go...I'll be...
Ride me.
