Town Hall

Samba shrugged 'Depends on the dragon. I've only ever been around one baby' he smiled 'but it's easy for us....me' he hung his head 'to get away' he grinned again

As I listened to the two of them "talk" I looked around for Zirean. she wasn't there, but i noticed her cloak and what might be her dagger. "I'll be right back" I smiled and got up and walked outside holding my arms close to my body "Zirean?" I whispered "Zirean?"

Zirean heard Saron calling for her. She didn't want him to see her like this but she made up her mind slowly, she came out of the shadows. In her wolf form, she held her head down and walked really low, almost crawling. To show that she wasn't going to hurt him.

I smiled and sat down on the steps "Zirean is that really you?" I asked as I ran my fingers through her thick coat "wow, how beautiful you are" I said really talking to the wolf but didn't eralize what i said

Mika chuckled "That it is, which baby was that?" she asked curiously settling down into talking with the wise dragon.

Zirean cocked her head, She couldn't understand him?! She sat down beside him and gazed up at him intently. She wagged her tail.

"Master Troy's great great great grandfather" the small dragon insisted "He grew to be a wise old man when he passed"

"Can you understand me?" I asked confused "No you can't can you?" I confirmed as the wolf form didn't show any reaction "silly me, sitting here talking to a wolf...and not even a wolf" I said a bit frustrated and placed my chin in my hand

She whinned, and laid down. She was foolish for coming out into the moonlight. But she couldn't help it. That room was getting too crowded. She had to go outside. She looked up at him, wishing she could understand him. She guessed that was one weak spot she would have to watch out for. Besides Silver she had another weak point to watch.

I sat outside for some time until I needed to go back inside before Mika worried. However the sun was beginning to crest the hills

Zirean looked towards the hills. She whinned and backed away from Saron.

I stopped at the door and turned and stepped back down "What is it?" I asked as the rising sun made my eyes very blue

Mika nodded "So..were you around when the dragon riders and the vanahoonians split?" she asked curiously now that there was no listening ears

'I was not, i "passed" when the first born son of Troy's was born been waiting for saron ever since'

Mika looked at him confused. "Oh no not recently, I was talking about at the beginning..when people first learned they could ride and work with dragons...the first dragon rider. A young man with a tattoo. The founder of Troy's dynasty. Chaya showed me..." she trailed off

'Oh' he rolled over 'that was his great great great grandfather, he was the first great Dragon Master, brought his female dragon over from eurpoe. she was my mother' he smiled proudly

"Ah I see" she smiled "well she was beautiful! Her scales seemed to dazzle in the sun" she said remembering the vision. "Who was your father?" she asked

Arya heard them talk but didn't move. She felt bleared. She couldn't
believe she had told them. She planned to talk to Saron only, but now
it turned out Mika and Zirean knew too.
'I'm -NOT - CRYING' she said to herself strongly. She looked at Malek, who was still deeply asleep, and gulped.
~I will teach Saron to fly with Samba and when he has enough
experiense... I hope I'll manage, I was only 16 when it all happened. I
don't remember so well any more. But I'll try. And then... I'll leave
for good.~ she whispered to Espero.
~Arya! You are gonna get married and you run off?!~ Espero sounded angry.
~I can't stay!~ she groaned and hid her face in her hands. ~I can't do
this to him! In my whole lifetime... I have never met anybody like him.
Never...~
Espero looked at her.
~Arya, you know 100 years is about 10 years for an elf. So, you are 20.~
Arya smirked sadly.
~I wish I was.~ she half sobbed half laughed.

She walked to Malek and laid down next to him. She gently brushed hair away from his face and let out a small sob.
"I love you" she whispered in his ear silently.
She stood up again. Without saying a word, she walked to the door. She
nodded to Mika and bowed at Samba, and then stepped out into the night.

Zirean looked back at Saron and whinned again. She would morph back when the sun touched her. She didn't want him to see her do it. So she ran off towards the woods, and just before the sun reached her. She turned back into her human (Well elven) self and she returned to Saron.

"Mother was very beautiful, golden scales and papa was a black dragon just like me. The first Pheonix dragon ever, he passed his gene on to me, his only off spring.' he smiled proudly 'I miss them sometimes, do you miss your parents sometimes?'

Outside I watched as Zirean disapeared into the woods and I turned back to the door, she then emerged from behind the tree. "I thought it was you" I smiled

Zirean blushed, as she steped out of the woods.
"Sorry, I couldn't stay in that room. It was getting too crowded for my liking. I found that I could control it pretty well. I felt like myself but I couldn't understand you."

Mika nodded sadly "My parents are dead as well" she said softly "They died when I was only 14"

Samba bowed his head 'I'm sorry' he sighed 'but you have a new family' he smiled looking at her belly

"I can understand, I was to fascinated to think much about the comfort zone" I chuckled

"I'm a Ranger remember." She walked beside him. "Sorry, I was getting crowded." She said to him as the sun rose higher in the sky.

"Right a ranger. I almost forgot, I'm sure you are really looking forward to summer then aren't you. Do you plan on sticking around?" I looked over to her with my hands in my pockets
