(The day after the current Getting Dragons thread c: )

C A T O

Hair rippling out behind him, Cato raced the other kids around the square. He was celebrating. The day before he'd gotten his dragon. Glancing at Drake, the elated boy grinned. A black dragon! Who'd have guessed he'd ever get one of rarest colored dragons? Cato tripped, knocking his thought process out of order. He grinned and laughed, hopping right back up. "Oops! I'm okay, I'm okay!" Dusting off his shorts the boy shook his head, dust flicking down from the short brown hair. After a quick examination of his hands Cato deemed they were barely scratched. He'd be fine. Going back to his friends, he thrust out a tanned arm and elbowed one who was chuckling. His bright smile teased him. "You're no better! Mr. Red dragon!" Cato warded off a slap and noogied his friend. "Drake! C'mon, dinner!" Laughing he let his friend go. Today was a good day.

Cora

[/i][/center]

Cora was unusually happy today. Happier than the rest of the town had ever seen her. But no one would dare defy her of this, as if they did, she would shoot them a look that would probably make them stop dead where they stand, or she would point at them, and off they would be dragged by a group of guards. Yes, very happy times. She slapped the saddle on Kato, stroking his elegant gold scales gently. "Lets go first our first slight!" she said. She jumped up, then stopped, putting her feet back on the ground. Where were her manners? Her dragon had to had royal clothes! After a bit, Kato had metal sattles, a small covering for his saddle that had the kingdom signal, and small silver covering on his spikes, which make them sharper than usual. "Alright, lets go now!" she said, hopping on him and pushes forward in to his front leg thighs, making him run forward. Pulling up on her reins, the wings popped open, and up they flew. She waved down at the other new riders mockingly, her surprisingly white teeth flashing in the sun. She kicked forward again, sending Kato flying faster than a jet through the clouds. She pulled the reins up, but lightly, and down zoomed her dragon. They slowed down, and they landed gracefully.

(I'm sure Storm won't bite my head for this LOL)

Hearing the flap of immense wings, Cato turned sharply and shaded his eyes as they went to the sky. A glittering gold shape circled overhead. Recognizing the small shape of the High Lords daughter riding on the massive dragons back, Cato laughed at her cocky smile. "Hi, tiny! Need a friend to join you?!" Sprinting to Drake, the teen looked into his eyes. It would be their first ride. "We'll see how it goes, eh?" Saddling up his black-scaled dragon, Cato vaulted on to his back. "Let's go, Drake! Fly-time!" Pulling up lightly and slghtly kicking the black dragons, Cato felt himself being lifted up, off the ground. Holding on tight he zipped over to Cora, teasing grin in place. "Hi, how are yah?" His brown hair fluttered in the lght breeze as he steered Drake in a circle around Cora.

Cora

[/i]

Coras eyes flashed with sometime, well lets just say, unnatural. Was this some kind of sick joke? This poor, scrawny kid had a BLACK dragon, and she had a GOLD one? How was this possible! "Leave me be, peasant." she seemed to hiss. She turned her dragon around, pulling back on the reins he reared up, slashing at him with his metal covered claws, making them sharper than usual. She then pulled him back, giving him a death defying side glare with her flashing amber eyes. "I am royal, I dont hang out with poor people like you." she cooed mockingly, giving him a flash of a ocky smile. Kicking her dragons thighs with great strength, he flashed forward as if at the speed of light. They seemed to bounce on top of the clouds, small droplets showering random spots on the land below. She sighed, turned to him where he was still just sitting there. "I thought black dragons were supposed to be fast. Now stop sitting there!" she snapped at him ungracefully.[/center]

Laughing silently, Cato, watched as Cora flew around. She must have had prior training. Poor kid. Must have been training since she could climb onto the smallest dragons back! Putting on a sympatheticface he quietly sat on Drakes back. When she came zipping back, the boy grinned. 'I thought black dragons were supposed to be fast. Now stop siting there!' Eyes flashing, Cato laughed and sat forward on Drake. "Oh, you wanna go? Then let's go!" Digging his legs into Drakes front legs, Cato yelped as they shot forward. Flashing through sky, a black streak, the boy and his dragon zoomed past Cora, letting off a powerful wind from the sheer speed. Hey, Drake, can you hear me? I've heard we can communicate through our thoughts. Let's show Miss Priss that peasants might be poor, but we're way better than she'll ever be! Go as fast as you can, 'kay? Looking back, he grinned cockily into the mean face of the High Lords daughter. "Peasant or not, I'll always be better than you are! Drake and I are gonna so show you who's more awesome!" And with that, Cato prepared for the ride of his life. Full speed of a black dragon? He braced himself as the blast of wind hit him in the face. "WOOO HOOOO!"

Cora

[/i]

Cora's cocky smirk turned in to a cold scowl. Hitting Kato's thighs so hard she thought they would bleed, they zoomed forward. The wind was so fast in her face, she couldnt even open her eyes. She hit his thighs and hit his thighs, until she realized her dragon was starting to cringe with how fast he was going. She stopped him, bringing him down abruptly she landed. She didnt care if she doesnt normally show affection, Kato was her pride and joy. And she realized; black dragon or not, he was hers. And he was way better than any snobby show off black dragon! She hugged him around the neck, and ran our to get a wet wash clothe. She dapped his thighs, and layed him down as he did small coes. She looked up, sighing, she took in a deep breathe. It hurt her to do this mentally, but she had to. She had to have ONE friend, didnt she? She would rather him not be a patehtic peasant, but you gotta do what you gotta do. She waved up, signaling for Cato to land. She winced at her self, she hated this...she shook the thought away again. She had to make friends, had too![/center]

After that first burst of pure speed and energy from Drake, Cato was breathless. Slowly circling, he watched as Cora sped around, but his hands clenched when her golden dragon- Kato, he'd heard, how interesting- began to slow down, and wince. He stared as the young girl lowered herself and her dragon down, and ran off. The teenager relaxed as he saw her return, a dripping cloth in her hands. With a surprising tenderness, Cora laid Kato down, and Cato raised an eyebrow. This was an interesting development. And when he saw Cora wave her little arms at him, he quietly obliged to lower Drake to the ground, landing softly. "You did great. Rest, now. Heck, take a nap, I'll be right back." Dismounting, and taking off the gear and laying it by the black dragon, Cato patted Drake. When he was finished he turned to the High Lords daughter and jogged over to her, short, light brown hair sticking out behind him. "Need any help, kid? Oh, gosh, where are my manners today? I'm Cato. I know you, everyone does, Miss Cora." Extending a hand to her, Cato smiled his signature warm smile, alighting his face. "Handsome dragon, kiddo." His eyes sparkled kindly at the little girl. While she was a bit of a brat, Cato was nice to everyone.

Cora snorted, turning to him, her eyes blazing like usual. "Stop calling me kid, we're at least a bout each others ages, arnt we? And no, I dont need help. Not that Kato would let you touch him anyways." she said, turning around again. She pulled up her shirt just a bit, and there was a small belt that had cleaning tools, a wet wash clothe, and a rolled up whip. She took out one of the cleaning tools, and started to brush the dirt off of his scales.[/center]

(Thanks for waiting for me...)

Drake rumbled ,and he trodded towards a shadowy area and flopped down.His massive finned shape was dirty and dust, but his rider didnt seem to mind.He looked around and saw some other dragons full out fighting over something.They were older than him but he didnt care.He hissed at them, his eyes glwoing a bright hell red.He failed out his spines and leapt into the tussel.THe other two dragons where white so he was easy to see.He growled and snapped at them,his long 6 in. fangs nipping thier scales.He pinned down th largest one,and tore his claws down him and let the larger dragon run away fleeing.He looked at the other one and flew up and dived bombed at his amazing speed and crashed into the white dragon sending that one fleeing too.He picked up the large piece of meat and flew up to a cliff over seeing the small town.He layed down and started chomping on it as if teh amazing thing he had done was no big deal.Mean while people where standing thier amazed that this 600 yuear old dragon had deafeated two much older dragons.
-------------------------------------------------------
A pretty 15 year old girl was lounging in the fork of the tree.She was watching her wonderful dragon, Hielo, dozing.She looked up and saw some of the older boys playing football.She smiled and leapt down from the tree."Hielo, want to watch?" she asked, looking at her dragon.She knew if her dragon did than she would jsut follow.She ran up to the boys,and she noticed they were mostly 17 or older.She didnt care.She walked up to the 'quarterback', Kyler and asked if she could play.He replied"NO, Girls cant play football, espiecaly not you go off and flirt with the prissy boys". now this got her mad."Yeah at least i actually have a chance, and im not some lug sitting her attemped to throw a football farther than ten feet" she sarcasticly smiled.The boys around her oooohed at her comeback,and that made Kyler mad.Now Kyler was a 19 year old, buff kid and often could knock down other kids.He got angry and then cooled and smirked."Ok,if you want to play....then....here" he smirked,and then pretended to throw the football at her and he pushed her backward and she fell into the mud behind her."Oops..sorry...piggy" the boys chuckled and started to walk away, leaving her in the dirt puddle.

[Niki]

Storm...I in no way mean this personally, its just,
dragons dont get bit and clawed a few times than flee. Not to mention, there huge scales, there almost impossible to break, even for another dragon. And, sense they were so much older than you, that means there so much bigger. So they could have both easily crushed Drake in that battle,
I'm not saying you have to modify or cahnge anything, just remember that in the future please hun. Thanks. ^^))

Cora

[/i]

The girl turned to Drake, rolling her eyes and pursed her lips. She then bubbled over, she didnt like this peasant of a dragon having all of this attention! She whipped around, smacking one of the villagers in the face. "You all stop looking at him or I'll have you thrown in the dungeon!" she said, her voice echoeing off so that everyone could here. She gave a winning smirk as people hustled in to there houses, forgetting about the little black dragon. She then stalked up to Drake, eyes burning as if defying his. "And you, I dont want to see you again! Do you here me!" she screeched. She turned around, walking off to tend to the fleeing dragons. She gasped and put her hand to her chest as she realized what dragons those were. "You attacked the high lords dragons!" she whispered, walking up and putting a harness on them. She gently walked them back to the royal stable, sighing. Were royal dragons really that weak?[/center]

[Storm]

(Drake is on a cliff)

[Niki]

o.o you didnt say that in your post))

[Storm]

yeah i did o.o fourth line from the bottom of Drake's post))

[Niki]

ohhh. I gotcha...Cora could still come up to you though, she has a flyin' dragon too. ;D))

[Rhyme]

Hielo's head snapped up when she heard Ebony talking to some boys. Angrily a threatening growl ripped out from her maw. Standing up she ran up behind Ebony where she glared at the boys. Spreading her wings out she shrieked another growl at them, baring her teeth. How dare they speak to Ebony, her friend like that! Seeing him reach for Ebony she lunged her head forward and snapped at his hands, not actually hurting them of course. She simply intended to scare them off, typical over protective Hielo. Seeing Ebony begin to fall toward a mud puddle she reached out quickly and very gently grabbed Ebonys shirt, not enough to tear it but enough to stop her fall. Folding her wings back against her sides she gently placed her rider next to her.
Are you okay, little one? She asked quietly through their telepathic connection.
Hielo wasn't sure if Ebony would be pleased or annoyed with her sudden actions. She just wanted to protect her was all, so she couldn't really be mad at her, could she?

[Storm]

Ebony felt her dragon grab her shirt and she was standing next to her."Yes, Thank you" she said quietly,and hugged Hielo's neck softly.She smiled and looked at her shoes and saw tehy where all muddy.She sighed and shook tehm trying to get the shlop off.Once most of it was off she looked at teh dragon on the cliff.Have you ever tried talking to him? she asked through thier connection.She was jsut getting used to doing that and now it felt relitivly common.She had her skiiny arm around her dragons neck and she pulled up her hoodie.

[Rhyme]

Hielo glanced up at the cliff to the dragon, Drake. Glancing at Ebony her tongue snaked out to taste the air. Her blue scales shining she cocked her head to the side as she watched him a moment.
No.. I don't believe I have. She finally responded softly, she didn't want to give Ebony a headache. She was still new at the whole, 'talking with your minds' thing and conversing to loud could probably result in a major headache.
Why? She questioned curiously her tail flicking back and forth slightly as she and her rider talked.

[Storm]

Ebony shrugged. I don't know, he seems liek he needs a friend she replied gently.She sat down on the tree stump behind her and looked at her dragon.You could use a friend too she smiled and looked away from teh cliff since the sun was blaring in her eyes.She flicked her head and her blonde curls slipped from her hoodie.She smiled and her blue-grey eyes rippled gently.She loved her dragon,they were best friends even the day after they bonded.

[Rhyme]

Hielo coo'd softly, going to curl around the tree stump and Ebony. Yes I suppose he does look like it.. She murmured, looking a bit surprised when Ebony mentioned her needing friends.
But I have you. She retorted, her eyes remaining curiously on Drake, He seems a bit scary.. She rested her head gently on Ebonys lap. Perhaps I'll say hello later..? She looked up at her, cheerful thoughts running through their mental connection line. I would prefer to spend more time with you right now. Besides, he's eating it would be rude. She mentally chuckled. Finally she stopped talking and simply rested on Ebonys lap, cooing with an occasional chirp.

Cora

[/i]

Cora turned around, eyes staring at Ebony. She forced a smile and walked over to her and her dragon. She grabbed her friend and turned around, dragging her. "Good, now were friends. You obviously know who I am, so were all aquianted." she said, winking at her. "Cato this is our new friend." she said, pointing at the boy. "And this is Kato and Drake..well, drake is on the cliff." she said, pointing to the sleeping black dragon sleeping on the cliff. "Now, what do friends do again?" she said, tapping her chin with a finger nail. "Oh right! Arnt they like maid?" she said, nodding.

[Rhyme]

Hielo hissed softly when Ebony was abruptly yanked away. Uncurling the dragon quickly walked after them. The icy blue dragon held nothing against Cora but the little human needed a lesson on how to treat people. Letting out a breathy sigh she continued after her rider and the high lords daughter. Well I suppose I'll go talk to Drake if its okay with you and Cora. She thought gently, watching her rider. She didn't know if Ebony wanted her to stay with her or not, watching her silently she waited for an answer.

((Should Hielo know how to fly yet???))

[Storm]

(yes she can o3o)

Ebony was yanked by the ten year old and looked at Hielo and nodded.Go ahead she replied,and then walked..or rather was pulled to Cato.She pulled down her hoodie that was hiding her blonde hair and it spilled out gently,and pretty like.She looked up at Cato and thier gazes met, her own blue, almost grey, eyes rippling."uhh...hey" she said to him and looked at Cora."Why dont we all go like...talk or something..its the best way to get to know your friends" she smiled at Cora.Maybe they could be friends.
