 The sky began to darken as clouds swept over the bright sun. Alice marvled at how fast they had seemed to gather in the sky. Even more amazing, her tutor had predicted it yesterday. The girl was beggining to wonder if she should pay attention when the man began rumbling about things. Her wide eyes stared up at the sky, excited for the storm to begin. I wonder if storms here are different from the ones at home, she thought happily. The girl ran a quick hand through her hair before turning her attention back to what she was actually doing.
Once more Alice was seated in her saddle riding her great stallion Rouge over the mountains. She'd been sent out to see if she could find some fresh food for dinner that night. So far, Alice had not spotted much of anything. That was, except a dragon. The girl almost squealed in excitement again. She'd seen a wild dragon flying over the mountain. It was headed home, she expected, to avoid the storm. Alice began wishing she could be a dragon rider. What fun and excitement that must be. And she could explore whatever she wanted to whenever she wanted to no matter how far away it was.
A rustling noise snapped Alice's attention back to what she was doing again. How easily she was distracted lately. The girl pulled her horse to a halt and examined the area with narrowed eyes, trying to find whatever had made the noise. She guessed a rabbit or something, though it certainly could have been something bigger. When riding through an area like this, one could never know exactly what they would find. The thought made Alice grin.
The rustling noise sounded again. Alice swiftly grabbed her bow and situated an arrow in it, pointing it in the direction of the noise. Rouge's ears were pricked uneasily. Due to the winds direction, he couldn't smell what was coming. Suddenly, Alice released the arrow and it soared through the air, landing directly on its mark. The girl slid off her horse with ease, grinning happily. I must have been riding for hours, she thought as she searched through some bushes for her prey. To her delight, she pulled out a wild hare, now limp. "This'll do nicely," she murmured to herself. "I'm sorry I had to do that little one, but the big eat the small, yes?"

  It had been such a nice day until the storm seemed to arrive very close to the mountains, he didnt like that, it made him feel more sad, since her mother and sister died in that fire, he just couldnt stay in one place. At least not for now. Valken ride with his always loyal and rebel Thunder, a black horse that find him about 2 years ago. Also there was his wolf Steve, he called him that way because of his funny friend, that also died last year, he wasnt there to help him. He was the last of the Allen's. Seemed like a huge curse was falling for them, first his father died in duty with his dragon, then his mother and sister in the fire. People said it was an accident but hell no, he knew it wasnt like that. There was a lot to discover, someone wanted him dead, and he wouldnt give the pleasure of it. He would never pronounce his name again, since now he was just Alek... no Valken no Allen, only people very close to him, but in those times everyone was truthfully, now, everyone could stab you.
While Valken was about to turn into another direction he heard a noisy voice, it was a human one, but he didnt heard another voice, so it seemed like someone was talking to itself or was just crazy, and both were wrong. He approached to the shrubbery, and saw a blonde girl with her hair pointing everywhere, he was just there looking how she was talking to a bunny. "You know... he doesnt know a god damn word of what your saying" he stated and then smiled a little he knew that bunny would probably end in her stomach, she didnt needed to soft the situation.
Wearing thisSorry if its short i need more muse  |

Alice jumped as a voice joined her own, surprising her. She inhaled sharply, then exhaled slowly, trying to catch her breath. A grin broke across her face as she looked up at the man who was standing near her now. "Good afternoon to you too," she mused happily, eyes scaning the man up and down. She hadn't expected to run into another person out here, but she supposed that it was stupid not to expect anything to happen.
She looked down at the rabbit in her hand. "I know very well it can't understand what I'm saying," she laughed, holding it up so the arrow sticking out of it was obvious. "It's dead." Alice turned and began to walk back to her horse, placing the rabbit in a bag for small game that she'd brought with her. She brushed her hands on her trousers before turning to face the man once more.
"You must think I'm insane, talking to a dead rabbit," she mused lightly, grinning at the stranger curiously. "Well, I suppose that's my fault." She stepped toward the man easily brushing back her bangs. "I'm Alice by the way. What's your name?" The girl glanced around, slightly confused. "And if you don't mind me asking, why are you here?"

"Good afternoon to you too," the girl stated with a huge smile, that made Valken smile, he liked happy people, it was contagious in a way, you smile, I smile, everyone smile, and suddenly the world doesnt seem like a crappy place anymore. So Valken thank that he didnt run with a Knight or even worse a hobbit. "Wish that rabbit could say the same" he stated with a smile.
"I know very well it can't understand what I'm saying," "It's dead." Valken looked with disgust at the blood, if something made his stomach feel uncomfortable was blood, he was almost about to vomit. It was highly disgusting from him. "Im sorry to inform you that im from the protective society of animals" he narrowed at her but he couldnt hide his stupid goofy smile.
"You must think I'm insane, talking to a dead rabbit," "Well, I suppose that's my fault." . "Well" valken nodded and then jumped off his horse, and walked toward the tree's "indeed its your fault, did I say that Im specialized on the rabbit's area?" valken tried to hide his smile, but he was having so much fun, it seemed like he didnt smiled in forever. He noticed how she looked at him from side to side, up and down. Was he so bad dressed? He nodded and then smiled, he couldnt help but just giggle.
"I'm Alice by the way. What's your name?" "And if you don't mind me asking, why are you here?" Valken nodded, he didnt wanted to reveal his name, not his first. He didnt wanted to be forsaken though he didnt wanted to be found. "Im Alek, nice to meet you, and i was ..." Valken just played with little stones around his feets, and then Steve(his wolf) started to bark so aloud that he quickly glanced behind him and saw a few horses ridding over them. He knew that was dangerous, maybe they were coming for him. He quickly took Alice's mouth and shut her, he tried to be quiet and embraced her to then fell into the ground, they would not be seeing behind the shrubbery's. "Dont say a word" he whispered, while he glanced at Steve and Thunder, "Go boy go!" he whispered very dissipated, and his animals disappeared. 2 horses and a wolf were too much, but one horse was cool. Valken really hoped that they were just passing by. |

Alice was glad to see Valken smile back her her, rather than get angry somehow. She'd know people who loved it when she smiled all the time and people who thought it was annoying. The people who liked it were alway more fun. "Me too," she laughed happily. "We can blame the food chain for that."
Alice tilted her head slightly at Valken's evident disgust at the sight of blood. She'd met few men who were sensative about the sight of blood. "Sorry," she laughed happily at his goofy grin. "But we all gotta eat, you know?" She placed reached her hands into the air and stretched. "Unfortunately it seems a girl is the only one in my group who is able to catch food." She meant it as a joke, but it was true. "Is there even a protective society of animals?" Alice laughed.
The man's comments made Alice laugh. What a charming man, she mused lightly in her head. He certainly had a good sense of humor. "No I guess you didn't," she giggled. "But seeing people talk to animal, especially if they're not alive, would seem a bit insane to me." Alice grinned and laughed. "But then, the world would be awefully boring without insane people wouldn't it?"
Alek's a nice name, Alice thought happily as she listened to the man speak. To her surprise though, that didn't last long. The girl had barely spotted the horses when she suddenly found the man embracing her, hand over her mouth. Bye the time he'd taken them to the ground, Alice had turned bright red. She nodded as he whispered not to say a word and shoed his animals. Alice glanced at Rouge. He was standing there, saddled up. That could hardly look natural. The girl glanced at, Valken, not knowing if she should do anything.

Valken tried to hear everything around them,the sound of the horses, the voices, the mans, the air, his heart, and he didnt heard a word from Alice, but his pulse was saying more than what she said in the last minutes. "Im Sorry" he said removing his hand from her mouth and leaning on his arm to see if they were out there still, he wasnt sure they were just in a picnic. Valken bit his lip and glanced everywhere, he really wanted to be sure if he could survive an attack from 4 guys against him. Besides he needed to protect Alice, it was something that just called him, not for anything he was called sometimes the hero. He didnt liked so much the nickname, but he had that freaking complex, he always needed to do the good thing and defeat the bad guy, always with a humor touch, but also a feeling of duty. "And that society does exist, I could send you to jail right now, but my horse is gone within my wolf, so take advantage of you 5 minutes of luck" he said smiling and still looking at the tree's. He stood up with an enviable flexibility and offered Alice his hand to stand up. "I hope that didnt hurt, but trust me and arrow hurts more" he said with a shy smile and then he giggled "you can ask the rabbit" he laughed. Valken was sure they were Dragon hunters, people that just wanted to kill dragons or instead of it, make them slaves, within their riders, the battles between the kingdoms were taking place everywhere. He didnt liked a girl to be with him, a boy could be more usefully, and she could get hurt in case they were attacked, he didnt liked the idea of someone hurting innocent people. He just wished she could get safe out of there.
"I was just trying to find a place" he said as he looked around for signs of anything. |

Alice stayed still and silent, listening to the men, still bright red. After what had seemed like hours to the girl, Valken's hand lifted from her mouth and he leaned up on his arm to look around. "What was that?" the girl demanded, slightly flustered. It was not anger that had taken her voice, but simply surpise. Lucky for Alice, it didn't take her long to calm down, and push away her blush.
She sat up and laughed, grinning. "Send me to jail just for hunting food?" she mused. "Good luck with that one. Alice smiled up at the stormy sky. She guessed that it wouldn't be too long till the rain started now. It was almost like she could feel it coming. Alice watched as Valken stood, then took his offered hand and stood herself. She brushed some of the dirt of her trousers, though she didn't care much that she was dirty. It had never bothered her like it bothered other women.
"No, it's fine," Alice insisted, blushing a little. "I was surpsised is all. I guess we were lucky that your wolf gave us the warning." She glanced in the direction the men had headed.
"Do you know who they were?" the girl asked curiously. "Why were they so dangerous?" She looked thoughtful, though her smile still hadn't completely faded. "Were they after you?" Alice tilted her head some, unsure what to make of the experience. Did it say something good about Alek or did it express a more...dark side to the man?
"Looking for a place?" Alice said. "What kind of place?" The girl's smile spread to a bigger grin as she suddenly realized how many questions she was asking. "Oh! I appoligize! I don't mean to be an annoyance by asking so many questions."

"Send me to jail just for hunting food?" she mused. "Good luck with that oneValken smiled "Yes, you could be eating carrots instead of rabbit;s you know?" he said still smiling, suddenly a rain of questions invade him, he just smiled as she talked and talked about everything, she seemed to curious.
"No, it's fine,I was surprised is all. I guess we were lucky that your wolf gave us the warning." He nodded and then walked toward her, and looked around on that part Of the forest "Yes, Steve is such a great guardian, though i dont know where is him right now, he should be safe, he is smarter than me" he said smiling and nodded at Alice. "Do you know who they were? Why were they so dangerous? Were they after you?" Valken stood there paralyzed and turned back, narrowing his eyes to Alice. He didnt thought of it before, or not in that way. That make him think of a run away plan, damn it he needed thunder, or at least a place to stay hided, maybe a cave, even if those were for riders, and he wasnt one yet, he didnt had a dragon. "I..do not know them, and I dont know really... i dont have anything they could be looking for..." he said with a doubt sound in his voice at the end of the sentence. Maybe they were trying to kill him, or make him slave to control a dragon, that wouldnt be cool, absolutely not.
"Looking for a place?" Alice said. "What kind of place?" "Oh! I apologize! I don't mean to be an annoyance by asking so many questions." Valken smiled more relaxed, she was funny thought very curious. "Its ok, I dont actually talk to many people, all i hear is the forest and the silence, so your voice doesnt result annoying.. yet" he laughed and then looked at her "Im trying to find a place to stay, to live actually, i lost everything, a few weeks ago, so im trying to find peace somewhere" he said suddenly turning his eyes into a deep sad green.

Alice laughed. "You have a point," she laughed. "But I'm affraid my companions refuse to give up on meat." The girl glanced at her horse to make sure he was still okay. He was simply standing looking bored. It made Alice smile some more like she always did.
"You're lucky," the girl commented with a broad smile. "To have such a creature on your side. Wolves are simply magnificant creatures. They're often scene as deadly animals. Personally, I see them as animals who work together to survive, and are happy doing it." Alice blinked happily.
The curiosity did not fade from Alice's eyes at all. In fact, it grew stronger than before. "You don't sound so sure of that," she commented softly. "It's okay if you don't want to tell me." She smiled. "Don't make up an excuse or lie though. It's best just to say you don't want to talk about it."
Alice stuck her tongue out at Valken, then laughed happily. "Well I'm glad I'm not a bother," she mused lightly. She picked slightly at the bottom of her shirt without noticing it herself. "Lost everything?" she echoed softly, smile fading. It surpised her to see that his eyes even changed color. "I'm sorry. I wish there was something I could do." Alice would have offered for him to come stay with her and her tutor, but she didn't think her tutor would approve of that. "Maybe I could help look?" Alice offered, brightening just a little.

<MORE humans? Is this some sort of attempt at humor?> A horse dropped out of the sky near the pair of humans, saddled, riderless, and wild with fear. Remarkably it wasn't hurt...yet. It tried to make a run for it, but Azkadee touched down, her wings spread wide to support her bulk as she settled herself. A claw darted out and closed casually around the horse’s saddle, drawing it up short as it tried to dodge around her. Glistening lovely white in the gray weather, Az cuddled the horse up to her chest as though it were some sort of quivering, petrified toy. Tail flicking back and forth lazily, the dragon looked over her new human playthings with interest. The little one was varying shades of light and fluffy, hardly interesting at all. The male was darker, more on edge. It amused her to no end. <You’re like a plague, ain’t ya?> she asked, a slight menace in her tone as she spoke directly to their minds.
It was their lucky day. Az was full. She had just run in with a small group of reeking two-leggers and their equine pets. She had made a quick meal of the horses, save the one she was snuggling like a teddy, but hadn’t bothered eating the humans. They stunk. Had so much as a morsel touched her tongue she would have vomited, and when one had a stomach as large as dragon’s it was best to avoid regurgitation. Folding her wings close to her back, Az snaked her neck out and nudged the male with the flat of her snout. It would have been all too easy to flick out her tongue and take a chunk out of him but, like the others, he stunk.
In fact, it was a familiar stink…
Baring her teeth, a snarl rose up out of the depth of her chest. <What do we have here? A young Rider?> The horse suddenly bolted as Az released it. She let it go, focused on new prey. Sharp claws plucked up the young human and Az sat up, dangling him a good fifteen feet off the ground. She took a long drag in through her nose. No, the boy wasn't attached to a dragon yet but there was no mistaking the scent of a Rider. She watched him twist a moment, enjoying herself. Irritating the humans was one of her favorite pastimes, especially since they irritated her so. Turnabout was fair play, after all. Maybe she'd strap a saddle on him and ride him around for a bit. Give him a taste of his own twisted medicine. Az chuckled, the visual tickling her. She certainly wasn't going to do anything more than poke at him a moment. Enemies though they were, Az preferred fun to cruelty.
Still, no reason for the human to know that.
She nudged him with her nose again, setting him spinning as he dangled from her claws. <You’re a long way from your friends, hm? How unlucky for you. What to do with a future slaver of my people.... hmm hmm hmm....> Az tapped her lower jaw with her free claw, as though deep in thought. Letting out a low laugh she snaked her head down to turn her white eyes to the female before she snorted and dropped the Rider. Az immediately wiped her claws off in the grass, digging deep rows with her dagger-like nails. Her tail thumped between them hard enough to shake the ground and Az grinned, sharp teeth glinting as cleared her throat. “Maybe I’ll just chew on you a little.”

"You're lucky," "To have such a creature on your side. Wolves are simply magnificent creatures. They're often scene as deadly animals. Personally, I see them as animals who work together to survive, and are happy doing it. Valken smiled glad someone said something wise about his wolf, well he should call him The wolf, since he was smarter than him, a small and shy smile came to him as he walked in circles "steve is awesome, and thats truth, animals know better how to work in group, humans dont, they just mess with everyone, trying to see who is better, and who kills more, trying to be the battle's hero, but anyway, thats how the world is, not like we would like it to be" Valken smiled again and glanced at Alice, but certainly she was a light on his way, maybe she was there for something, maybe not, who knows. You don't sound so sure of that, It's okay if you don't want to tell me Don't make up an excuse or lie though. It's best just to say you don't want to talk about it.". valken a little uncomfortable with that question, he didnt wanted to reveal he was in his way to be a rider, a dragon one, he didnt even wanted to say his real name, no he didnt, that could bring her problems later, and thats the less he wanted for someone innocent, if there was someone that needed to pay, was the one that killed his mother and sister, within the fire, that person and the one who killed his father and his dragon on duty. "I'm sorry. I wish there was something I could do." Valken remain in silence, just with a sorrow face and the hope his secret wouldnt make any troubles for now.
But apparently no one listened, to Valken's thoughts and the huge animal that was behind them.
<What do we have here? A young Rider?> Valken slowly turned his head back and saw a huge... HUGEEEEEEEE white dragon. His face just paralyzed, it was a beautiful dragon, he was shaking but he tried to hide it, he really fell in love with that animal, so white, his eyes, everything, maybe in a certain way he never saw one, so it was interesting that now that he had give up to be a rider one appeared. "I am-- ahh-- No, Im not a young rider" he said doubting and then he took force from his inside and stated that he wasnt a young rider. suddenly he was on the air, he was dangling, it was curious he had never been so high, well he had once fell into a trap for a lion, he was raised a lot, and he waited until his sister cut the rope and let him fall. But that was nothing compared to this, he was being smelled by a dragon. He cursed that he didnt took a bath that day. "mmm for your tone of voice i could say that, i dont know what you are, a female? well, could you be so gentle and put me down, miss? or if im mistaken, Sir?" he said still with a freeze smile. He couldnt help it but he was so dazzled to be annoyed by that. the breathe of the dragon made his ran go even more straight, he was sweating in cold, and there was was, still in the air. he didnt fight back, he was just there watching the face of the dragon, stunned, stupid, and dazzled. He didnt even remembered that Alice was with him, well not with him, he was on the air of course, silly valken. <You’re a long way from your friends, hm? How unlucky for you. What to do with a future slaver of my people.... hmm hmm hmm....> Valken twisted his mouth, he didnt had friends, not even meet a dragon rider yet besides his father. "I dont have friends!" he almost pouted that, you could read it very close in his eyes, he didnt trusted anyone, and he didnt had friends, everyone died, That was the reason he was getting used to the loneliness.
"Future? Im not even planning on being a rider, i quit, i dont want that life anymore." he said very frustrated, flashes of his father being honored in his funeral, and flashes of the chaos with the dragons, he wanted to be a rider, yes, but to make himself proud of what? of ride an animal? he could still ride a horse, he had no one to make feel proud of him, no one. He just wanted to leave in peace. His dreams werent dreams anymore. And he fell from the sky. His bones did a 'crash' sound when he touched the ground, he just leaned in a side and closed his left eye and opened his mouth, that hurts, and that too, oh and what about the leg, yeah it hurts the most. Fine Valken stand up please, you have a dragon in front of you, and you will be the dinner of today, besides Alice is just a few steps from you. "Alice..." he mumbled as he looked for her. "Go away" he tried to articulate with his lips. He was worried and concerned for her, suddenly he felt the world falling into pieces.
“Maybe I’ll just chew on you a little.” Valken glanced at the dragon with a smirk, that day was goign to be memorable.

Alice smiled at Alek. "I've found my best friends in animals," she admitted. "Even when humans aren't there for you, animals are." The girl felt slight homesickness. No way did she want to go back and see her parents, but there were two individuals she was sorely missing right now. Her beautiful cat, and her little black rabbit. Alice looked down for a second, letting her smile fade for the short moment. It took her a minute to realize that Alek hadn't even responded to her questions.
Alice opened her mouth to say something to try to lighten the air some, but was interupted by the loud thud that announced the entrance of the dragon. At first, terror slid through Alice's entire body as she slowly turned around to face the animal. But the terror quickly liften to be replaced by curiosity, excitement and anger. Alice didn't quite know which emotion to express.
Fear at at her slightly as the dragon swept Alek off the ground. A rider? Valken was a dragon rider? At first, Alice gapped at the man. Even when he rejected it, it didn't sound quite like the total truth. Besides, he seemed so calm when being held in the claws of the dragon, and that seemed unusual. Alice listened to the conversation further, simply interested now. It didn't seem the dragon was actually hurting Alek.
I don't have friends.
The comment almost hurt Alice. She had rather thought they were on their way to being friends. Her head tilted a little. She might have commented, but Valken was rather high in the air...
When the dragon let go, Alek came crashing down to the ground. Alice hurried over to help him, but to her amazement, he stood up. "I will not go!" the girl snapped defiantly. She moved to help him. "Besides, you're hurt. I'm not just going to leave you." Alice looked up at the dragon without a trace of fear. She'd throw that all away. Death did not scare her.
"Where do you get off being so cruel," Alice snapped angry. "We didn't do anything to harm you." She scowled at the creature. A rare sight on the girl. "You can't just go around and hurt living things when you're bored!"

Humans are far too fragile, Az mused. A mere fifteen foot drop like that should have shaken him, certainly, but not hurt him. The silly thing. Az twisted her head so that one white eye was close to the puny human. She blinked once, tasting the air. He denied being a Rider, but there was no doubt in her mind. He smelled like one. If he wasn’t… well, he was going to be. The blood will out, after all, and the scent of his blood was telling her plenty. The white dragon watched as he got back to his feet, gallantly trying to send Light and Fluffy away.
And then Light and Fluffy got her dander up. "Where do you get off being so cruel? We didn't do anything to harm you. You can't just go around and hurt living things when you're bored!"
“Heh. Heheheh. Bwahahahaha! So brave! What happened to ‘the big eat the small'…little one?” Az shook with laughter. Who knew humans had a sense of humor? Perhaps she would not chew on them. Az turned her attention to the girl that was so indignant at her behavior toward the Rider that wasn’t a Rider at all. “Do not speak to me of cruelty, tasty treat. You still stand and your heart still beats. I believe I am being very very generous.” There was a smirk in her voice and she let out a snort that blew Light and Fluffy’s hair back. “Now settle down, itty-bitty.” She chuckled and nudged the boy again. “Are you sure you aren’t a Rider-to-be? You carry yourself like one of them.” There was no mistaking her words for a compliment. There was quiet derision in her tone. She withdrew her head from the pair and turned her head toward the skies. They were empty.
Once upon a time her kind ruled the sky and now… now blood traitors and fool young were gaga for the two-leggers. Dragons were meant to fly free, but those that bore Riders would hear no ill word against them. It was enough to draw a snarl from deep in her chest. <Perhaps you are not a Rider,> she said bitterly, speaking directly to his mind so Light and Fluffy couldn’t hear. <What sort of Rider can’t tell the difference between a male and a female dragon? I’m female, by the way… idiot.>

"I will not go!" Damn she was being stubborn and he didn’t liked that, he wanted her to go, she could get hurt, and he wouldn’t like to carry on with that in his burden of life. Please Alice, go he mumbled almost in sigh. Suddenly Alice started shoting words at the white dragon and he just tried to calm her down, he was standing next to her, and he just embraced her with his right arm, and tried to not look at the dragon. “Alice don’t…” he replied in her ear. The situation was getting intense and he just wanted to get out of there and take Alice to her home, both alive of course, but that just seemed impossible for now, it was getting at the edge of die. Besides that dragon was totally sarcastic, he never thought of a dragon having humor. To be honest his thoughts about dragons where just reduced to, eat, sleep, fight, fire, and that single word made him feel more pain than feel the crash of his bones. Humans are far too fragile Of course if we are compared to a huge dragon, we are like cats, but well nothing could ever made more sense tan that. “From where comes all that humor? Perhaps humans are fragile, but definitely I never imagined that dragons could be so funny” Valken said turning his face to the dragon, and putting Alice behind his back, his gaze was absolutely saying that he wasn’t afraid of the dragon, not anymore, still dazzled yes, but over all he was surprised. “Do not speak to me of cruelty, tasty treat. You still stand and your heart still beats. I believe I am being very very generous.” Alice was brave enough, but he hoped she would be smart enough to not treat again the dragon, because he didnt wanted to be in the necessity of get on the dragon and at least try and sting his eye. “Now settle down, itty-bitty.” Valken nodded, with a smile coming to his mouth, indeed was a cynical and sarcastic dragon, of course, Alice probably wouldnt laugh about it.
Suddenly Valken saw the dragon’s eyes looking to the sky and started to hear the voice of the dragon inside his head <Perhaps you are not a Rider,> Valken tried to reply in his mind, he didn’t knew if that could work out, but he was going to try it. <I am not!> <What sort of Rider can’t tell the difference between a male and a female dragon? I’m female, by the way… idiot.>Valken laughed inside and tried not to laugh outside, but he glanced at the dragon, so she was female, he really should take a bath everyday, you dont know with what kind of ladies you can cross with.
<I’m sorry, but as you can see im not a rider, I was on my way to be one a few weeks ago, but everything changed, everything, now im the last of my family, the Allen Family> everyone knew who the Allen family where, it was huge bloodline of dragon riders, every single man with the last name Allen was designated to be a dragon rider, and well he was the last of the Allen. And he was quitting his destiny. <Im Valken Allen, the last one, killing me will probably end your curse of being as you call a slave, but I wont be a rider, I don’t have anyone to make proud of, so im just trying to find a new life, and I wasn’t looking to your noble parts, that’s why I didn’t recognize your genre.. Lady. What’s your name btw, are you going to eat me?> Valken said very out of place in his mind, lots of things were passing trough his mind, and he tried to picture images of his family, maybe the dragon could see them, the only one he had about his father, like in a dream, was him riding a blue dragon, both seemed happy with each other, both smiling.
Alice? he said whispering, and holding her hand.

Alice scowled, turning a little red as the dragon's breath blew back her hair like a gust of wind. Alek was asking her to leave again and begging her to stop. "I will not!" She kept her eyes on the dragon, somewhat angry she was so easily dismissed. "Killing the rabbit for food was different!" she shot back at the dragon. "You can't just go around hurting things and toying with living creatures as you please. That's where it become cruel." She crossed her arms. "I was once told dragons were great noble creatures, but you're just a bully."
Alice felt terribly frustrated. She felt like there was something she was completely missing. Was Alek able to talk to the dragon without speaking out loud. For once her smile seemed like it wouldn't be coming back for a while. Alice folded her arms across her chest, looking to the side, eyes looking rather cross. How annoying this situation was.
She let her hands drop, looking frustratedly at the ground. Suddenly, she felt Alek grip her hand. That made the anger fade for just a moment. But then he spoke her name and Alice remembered that she was supposed to be cross right now. "What?" she snapped softly. Though her voice was cross, there was no real anger behind it, or in her eyes.
