Staring into his eyes, I could see the concern whelling up inside. If something happens to you, I will have failed my life mission. Taken back by his word reality hit me, I am only a task for him. Fighting back tears, I tore my eyes from his and collected the wood I dropped. Making my way back to the fire, I made a backhanded comment that helped with my anger. I will try not to make your job so difficult. I let out with a sneer in my voice I did little to hide. Assuming it did as intended, my gaurdian stayed still momentarily until continuing to follow me again. reaching the fire, I tossed a few broken branches in. I could feel him watching me but did my best to ignore him. Going back to the spot, I claimed I willed myself to go to sleep or at least the ability to pretend. Waking with the dawn, I could see my companions were rising as well. Pushing down the pain of rejection, I met up with the guys around the fire. Are we all set? with nods of agreement, we started the track back to our hidden home. I stayed to the back, avoiding the guys the best I could. lost in my train of thought. I belittled myself for thinking someone like Nicholas would ever care for a nobody like me. tears fell from my face, keeping my head down. I hid it away. leave it to me to care what someone thinks of them when the fate of the whole world is on the line. Fighting away the self-pity, I decided to only care about my mission. Saving the world. After a couple of hours, we reached the entrance of our safe haven. as we entered, I introduced Jacob to Anna and asked her to show him a room. Turning to Jacob, I gave him a few marching orders. get cleaned up and change into something comfortable, after dinner, You have something important to do and we have much to discuss. before anyone could ask me another question, I walked towards the training ground, calling for Cora to meet me. once out of sight, I ran to the training room, wanting to be anywhere that was private, and I could have a moment alone. Cora was there waiting for me she had gotten slightly bigger since the last time I saw her. falling to my knees in front of her, I wrapped my arms around her neck and cried. After a few moments, her voice entered my mind, What is troubling you? Explaining what had happened with Nicholas and the nightmare that had haunted me, Coras voice gave away her concern. I will be ok. I just needed to tell someone. whiping my tears, I stood up once more, looking at Cora with determination. so would you like to practice flying? even if I could fly, I'm too small to carry you yet. With a smirk, I explained myself. I am aware, but it never hurts to teach you how to attack from the sky. meeting my gase Cora seemed to approve of the idea and seemed to smirk herself. we spent the next few hours practicing Cora fell a couple of times but eventually grasped the ability. finding some small stones around the training room, I began having Cora practice picking up targets and launching them at other targets around the room. Cora was excited at her achievement, as was I. In her excitement, she opened her jaws, and a small flame came from within her, Jumping and cheering my partner on as she landed infront of me I couldn't contain myself and embraced her once more. You breathed fire? Oh my goodness, you really blew fire. Wait, maybe? Focusing on Cora, I linked my mind with hers willing her fire to enter my hands. I waited for a moment. Suddenly, I felt heat travel down my arms and into my fist. opening them flames consumed them, yet I felt no pain. Coras eyes lit with excitement. You did it Sasha you harnessed my flame. Willing the fire to abate, I was free of flames once more. hearing Wesley enter my mind, he informed us that dinner was ready. exiting the training room, I continued practicing harnessing the fire that Cora and I now shared. closing my hand, I would extinguish the flame, opening my hand allowed the fire to burn. as we entered the kitchen, I flicked my hand towards the fireplace, letting a ball of fire ignite it. Eyes were wide, and Anna was the only one who had words. How? Cora is too young to be producing flame? Looking at Anna, her jaw hit the floor when I informed her she learned it when celebrating her first successful flight. Sitting down for dinner, we began making plans for our next mission. Before anyone can plan anything, we need to find them. First things First, Looking at our newest member of our small group. Are you ready to meet your partner? Staring at me with both nerves and excitement. Yeah, let's get going. Walking down the hallway into the room of eggs. with its rider nearby, the egg began to glow. I could hear the voice instructing Jacob to burry the egg in the ground. walking back to the entrance of the cave, we found a soft spot of soil and begun to dig, Jacob placed his egg into the hole and covered it with the spare dirt. after a few moments, we watched as dirt went flying into the air. looking down into the hole that was filled moments ago laid a green dragon. listening in to their greeting, the newest dragons name was Ragnar. exiting the hole, he currled himself into jacobs' hand. standing, he looked at me with slight hesitation, so what do I do now, now you feed and nurture your dragon soon, and you will become one. bring a plate of food over for the newest addition. Anna was in awe of it. Speaking up, she remembered an interesting fact to share. Earth Dragons are known for their manipulation of the earth itself..
