Caleb was looking out his window. Vinezilla was sleeping next to his leg. "Where the heck is Seth?" he asked. "We're leaving for school in two days," he said. Caleb smacked his teeth and turned to Vinezilla. "Let's go get him," he said, waking the hatchling up. Vinezilla nodded and the two ran over to Seth's house. Caleb knocked on the door. Seth's mom came to the door, tears in her eyes. "Hi Caleb," she sobbed. "Hi Mrs. McClain. Where's Seth? And why are you crying?" he asked. Seth's mother hugged Caleb. Vinezilla cocked his head. He then sniffed the air. Vinezilla mewed and ran into the house, running up the stairs. "Vinezilla wait!" Caleb yelled. Seth's mother released him and Caleb made his way up the stairs. Vinezilla barged into Seth's room and looked around. Caleb arrived. "What's wrong with you man?" he asked. Vinezilla ignored him and looked at the incubator. Caleb did too. He looked inside and saw the egg pieces. Seth's mother came. "What is it?" she asked. Caleb opened the incubator and picked up the piece of egg. "Please tell me this came from a black bird," said Caleb. Seth's mother sat on the bed. "It's a dragon egg," said Seth's mother. "A bonded egg hatched for my boy and I didn't like it so he ran away with the hatchling," she sobbed. Caleb was shocked. His little nerd was a Rider like him. Caleb looked down at Vinezilla. Vinezilla had his head cocked. "I don't believe it," said Caleb. He never knew Seth had it in him. "Did you at least put out a missing people thing?" he asked. "Yes," said Seth's mother. "No one has seen him," she said. Caleb sighed. He then saw the finished science project by the corner. "Don't worry Mrs. M. When Vinezilla is big enough to fight and fly, we'll search for Seth," said Caleb. Vinezilla nodded. "Thank you," said Seth's mother.
Seth was eating with Shadow. Shadow had come accustomed to eating deer meat. Seth could see that the hatchling was growing as well. Randy told him that by next month, Shadow would be as big as a house. Seth liked to picture riding Shadow in the sky. "How's the food Shadow?" he asked. Delicious said the hatchling. Seth flinched. He looked down at the dragon. Shadow looked up at him. What? he asked. Seth leaped back. Shadow cocked his head. "You can talk now!" Seth exclaimed. I know. Isn't it great? Shadow said. Seth couldn't believe it. Usually Shadow would talk with images and pictures. Now he was talking with his mind. Seth cheered and hugged Shadow. "I love you Shadow," he said. Love you too Seth said Shadow. Angelica and Angel arrived. With Shadow being the size of a medium-sized dog, Angel was just a few inches smaller. She and Shadow greeted each other will low friendly growls. "Hey Seth," said Angelica. "Hey Angelica," said Seth. The two hugged. "Shadow can talk now," said Seth. Angelica looked at the two dragons and then back at Seth. "Angel can too," she said. "Really?" Seth asked. "Of course. It's been a few days since they hatched," said Angelica. Seth saw how Shadow and Angel stayed together. "Those two really do like each other to be so young," said Seth. "Young love," said Angelica, batting her eyes. She then walked over to the food stand to get a sandwich. Seth turned to look at her. She's so hot he thought. I can hear you said Shadow. Seth forgot about that. Sorry he said. It's ok. I said the same about Angel said the dragon. Seth chuckled. Angelica came back with her food. The two ate, talking about when training starts and when they will be ready to kill the dungeon people. Seth wanted to now, but he knew he wasn't ready.
Caleb and Vinezilla were at school with their friends. Caleb looked down at his gedwey ignasia and sighed. He then looked down and watched as Vinezilla flipped over an obstacle. "Excellent," thought his ebrithil. Caleb laughed.and Vinezilla growled. "That's your first growl bud," said Caleb. "Yes it is," thought Vinezilla. Caleb almost fell out his seat. "You talked!" he exclaimed. "Of course I did," said Vinezilla. "Wow. I never thought it would be so quick," said Caleb. Vinezilla nodded. "I can also still show you images," said Vinezilla. Caleb smiled and wrestled with Vinezilla. "Caleb! Pay attention!" yelled his teacher. Caleb snapped up. Vinezilla cowarded. He looked around and saw the other hatchlings practicing. "Be back," he said. Caleb saw him walk off. He was glad Vinezilla could talk. He just need Seth here.
Seth and Angelica walked with Shadow and Angel to Randy's house. His backyard was an open area, big enough for even Glaedr to fight in. As they arrived, Ghost appeared and greeted them. Wolfsbayne was there as well. Hello there hatchlings he said. Seth, Angelica, Shadow, and Angel greeted him and Wolfsbayne. They followed the two dragons into the backyard where Randy was waiting. "Good afternoon Seth and Angelica," he said. "Afternoon," they said. "Let's get started," Randy said. Ghost and Wolfsbayne took Shadow and Angel somewhere else to train. Seth began to worry. "Don't worry handsome," said Angelica. "Shadow will be fine. He's with Angel and two big dragons who know how to fight and breathe fire," said Angelica, touching his arm. Seth smiled. "Let's see how well you can use a spell when focused," said Randy. He brought over a bowl of water. "Adurna," he said. The water began to move. Randy made a motion with his hand and the water flew into the grass. Seth was amazed. "Now you try Angelica," said Randy. Angelica focused and raised a hand at the bowl. "Adurna," she said. The water began to move. Seth watched as she sent the water into Randy's face. Seth bawled out laughing. Randy spat out water. Angelica giggled. "That was payback for all those years of letting me fall in the bathtub," she said. Randy shook his head. "I had that one coming," he said. Seth shook his head. "Your turn Seth," said Randy. Seth raised his hand at the bowl and closed his eyes. He focused and then said, "Adurna." The water moved. Seth could feel a little of his energy draining. Seth concentrated and raised the water out of the bowl. He then twirled it around. "Wow," said Angelica. Seth smiled. Suddenly, a bird swooped by and splashed into the water, causing Seth and Angelica to jump. Seth began to gasp for air and choke. "Seth!" yelled Angelica. Randy approached quickly and uttered something under his breath. Seth was back to breathing normally. "What happened?" he asked. "You almost died," said Angelica. Seth felt light headed. "Yes, even the smallest of spells can kill you," said Randy. "If let anything ruin your focus, it could cost you your energy and your life," said Randy. Seth nodded. He then felt something brush up against his mind. Seth placed up barriers to shield his mind. He then knew it was Shadow. Are you ok? Shadow asked. I'm fine. Almost died, but I'm good said Seth. He could feel Shadow's worry. I'm good and it won't happen again said Seth. Shadow was reassured and withdrew from Seth's mind. "Next spell," said Randy.
After school, Caleb and Vinezilla went to the park. An elder dragon by the name of Wattson was there, teaching young dragons the art of fire. Vinezilla joined. Caleb watched from a far. He then saw his Monica come over to him. She had a pink dragon hatchling named Daisy. "Hi Caleb," she said. "Hi monica," he said. He rubbed Daisy's head. They watched as Wattson blew purple flames into the air. The hatchlings were amazed. Even Vinezilla. He tried it, but failed. "You will learn to breathe fire when you are six months old," said Caleb. Vinezilla snorted. He wanted to breathe fire now.
Linnea was teaching the students how to read and write in the old language except for Vanier he already knew so he was working on saddle making. "Erbithal why am I making a saddle? can't I just buy one." Linnea answered "Just in case you have to, and by learning to make them you are learning how to tailor a bought one to fit properly. It also helps you maintain your saddle better. I made Arget's first saddle myself  and it lasted about one hundred years before I retired it and made a new one. When the others are done with their written work I'll bring them up to speed on saddle making." "Oh that makes sense Erbithal." The dragons were with Arget for flying lessons at the time. Those dungeon people were becoming more and more of a problem lately, but Linnea was working as a teacher and would only be called in if there was an emergency. The Ageti Bloodren was coming up and Linnea was going to teach her students several artistic mediums to use, Hivrda had already started working on something. Linnea had something planned Arget was doing something or other. When the rest of the class finished their written work Linnea got them up to speed on saddle making Vanier was trying to braid something into the design. "Students the Blood oath celebration is coming up so we'll be working several artistic mediums soon, Arget is informing your partners but you must come up with separate things. You could say make a saddle, just about anything really. The ceremony only comes once every fifty years. Every rider that I know of is making efforts to attend. So behave while we're at the party ok guys?" "Yes Erbithal..."
Seth and Angelica were finished for the day. Seth had learned the spells adurna, brisingr, jierda, and kausta. Angelica knew more though. The two ran towards their advancing dragons. Seth and Shadow embraced. Shadow licked him on the face. Seth chuckled. "I'm ready to go eat," said Seth. "Me too," said Angelica. The four of them ran into Randy's house. He had a sandwich platter made. Seth cheered. "Alright, dig in," he said. The two of them ate. Shadow and Angel ate deer meat. "I'm gonna introduce you two to mead soon," thought Ghost who had his head in the door. Angel flicked her tail and pounced on her father's face. Ghost chuckled and the two nuzzled. "Oh. I almost forgot," said Randy. "The Ageti Bledthren or Blood Celebration is in a few days," said Randy. "Yes!" exclaimed Angelica. "What's that?" Seth asked. "A little celebration for us Riders to show off our creativity," said Angelica. Seth was amazed. He could make something out of stone like he did in school or show off his poem skills. "OK." he said.
Caleb and Monica talked. Monica the brought up Seth. "No one's seen him for three days," said Caleb. Monica held her head down. "You think he's alive?" she asked. "Knowing Seth's mom, yes," said Caleb. "Besides, he's a Rider like us two," Caleb pointed out. "Magic is his friend," he said. Monica gave a weak smile. Daisy and Vinezilla were playing around. "You're funny," giggled Daisy. "I do take after my Rider," thought Vinezilla. Caleb smiled. He and his dragon were a perfect match. Caleb saw how the two hatchlings, although they were the size of dogs now, like each other. Caleb liked Monica as well. Her gorgeous red hair was beautiful. She wore nice things and was perfect. Caleb looked at her. Monica was giggling at what the two dragons were doing. She caught Caleb staring and he turned his head quickly. Monica smiled and kissed Caleb on the cheek. Caleb froze and then cheesed like a little kid in a candy store. "Let's go before it gets dark," said Monica. She walked off. Caleb followed with the dragons.
Linnea's students made their artwork fast and loved it. New people mercenaries or shinobi as they called themselves were going to be there. Hired help for the dungeon problem. Four of them were coming to Linnea to be escorted to the celebration and given a crash course in elf customs. Three kids and their teacher. A loudmouthed blonde kid came running up yelling "I found Linnea san guys! She really looks like the statue!" Linnea saw a man with one eye covered and a mask on his face and he was holding a little orange book, a pink haired girl who took one look at Arget and went behind the fourth person dark hair dark eyes and a look in his eyes that spoke of sadness, hatred, and anger. One eye bowed "I am Kakashi and these are my students. We're here about the ceremony." Blonde kid ran up to Arget fearless and said "Naruto Uzameki here, can I pet your dragon?" Linnea replied "Ask him, he's not a stupid reptile he's my partner. I'll ask you adress him by his name Arget." Dark kid asked "Sauske Uchiha here. How do I get one of those?" he pointed at Arget. Linnea answered "The dragon chooses their rider not the other way around." Linnea gestured to pink hair "And you are?" "Sakura ma'm. Is Arget safe to be around?" "Yes unless you do  something to provolk him, he'll let you know when you're pushing it." "For now I am harmless younglings, and yes you may touch me just do not poke my eyes and if you must climb on me be careful and stay off my wings." Naruto immediately put his hand on Arget and said "You're alot warmer than I thought you'd be. Hey Sakura! Come over here you too Teme!" Sakura looked at Linnea then at Arget and went over reluctantly. Linnea asked Kakashi "She scared of dragons or something?" "Never seen one before actually none of us have." "You came this far inland and up until just now haven't seen a dragon? Odd... So you teach those three, I admit Naruto would seem like my sort of student, enthusiastic to say the least. But why are there two life forces inside of him?" "Classified information." "Might want to de classify before he gets mistaken for a shade or something." Linnea then explained what a shade was. "He has something sealed inside that's all I'm saying Linnea san." "What is up with Sauske the hate is radiating off that kid, power lust too." Kakashi explained the boy's past and Linnea replied "He'd better behave, and have your students make some sort of art to present at the cereimony it's a tradition. You too." "Any requirements?" "Not really just has to be art of some sort."
Shadow and Angel finished their food and ran out in the front. Ghost and Wolfsbayne watched them. Seth and Angelica were cleaning their plates when they heard a roar. Randy shot up, drew his sword, and headed to the front. Seth and Angelica followed. As they got outside, the three saw another dragon heading towards them. The dragon was yellow. "Who is that?" Seth asked. The yellow dragon came into better view. A Rider was on his back. "It's Sarah and Aiden," said Randy. Ghost and Wolfsbayne greeted the oncoming dragon and Rider with a bugle. Aiden landed and Sarah leaped from his back. Seth saw that she looked about sixteen. "Hey baby!" Sarah exclaimed. Randy cheered and ran over to Sarah. The two embraced and kissed passionately. Seth looked away. He eyed Angelica. She turned away from him, blushing. Seth smiled. Aiden made his way over to Ghost and Wolfsbayne and greeted them. He then greeted a growling Shadow and an excited Angel. Aiden and Sarah walked over to Seth. "Hi there I'm Sarah and this is Aiden."
"I'm Seth McClain and that's my partner Shadow Nightscales," said Seth. "You have manners" thought Aiden, his voice deeper than Wolfsbayne and Ghost. "Yes I do," said Seth, bowing. Angelica giggled and shook her head. Sarah looked at her and smiled. "Hey little princess," she said. The two hugged. Aiden growled at Angelica. Seth was about to say something when Angelica growled back. Aiden laughed and Angelica hugged his snout. Shadow and Angelica ran over to them. Shadow kept growling. "Stop it," thought Seth. "I can't help it. He's new and odd," thought Shadow. Seth rolled his eyes. "Aiden. Sarah. This is Angel, my dragon," said Angelica. Angel bowed. "It is not to finally meet you both," she thought. That was the first time Seth heard Angel's voice. Aiden bowed as well as Sarah. Aiden then turned to Shadow. He released a low growl. "If your hatchling attacks, I'll show him the wrath of a real dragon," growled Aiden. Seth's eyes widened. He grabbed Shadow and thumped his snout. Shadow whined and sneezed "Ow"
Angel mean't to say, "It is nice to finally meet you both." Not the word "not".
As Monica and Caleb reached Monica's house, Daisy and Vinezilla reached the doorstep. The door swung open and Monica's father came outside in his robe. A shotgun was in his right hand. He eyed Caleb. A red dragon's head reached around the house, staring at Vinezilla. Vinezilla yelped and ran towards Caleb. Caleb opened his arms to catch Vinezilla as the dragon leaped at him. "Daddy!" yelled Monica and Daisy at the same time. The large red dragon snorted, smoke rising out of his nostrils. "Get in this house Monica," said her dad. "Your mom's got dinner ready," he said. Monica rolled her eyes and turned to Caleb. "I'll see you tomorrow Caleb," she said. Monica went in the house. "Bye Vinezilla," thought Daisy. Vinezilla nodded. Daisy climbed her father's head and he went back behind the house. Caleb and Vinezilla let out a sigh of relief. "I thought he was gonna kill us," said Caleb. Vinezilla shook his head. The two turned to leave when Monica and Daisy came back out and over to them. Caleb dropped Vinezilla.
Monica embraced Caleb and kissed him on the lips. Daisy licked a recovering Vinezilla on the cheek. Caleb and Vinezilla froze. Monica smiled. "I couldn't let you leave without a kiss," she said. "You're special to me," thought Daisy. The two then ran back into the house. Caleb and Vinezilla were still frozen in their spots. They then looked at each other and smiled. "We got a kiss!" they both exclaimed. Daisy's father's head rose over the house. He roared at them. Monica's father opened the window and shot three rounds into the sky. Caleb and Vinezilla yelped and took off down the street, Caleb laughing. When they got home, Vinezilla ate. Caleb was drinking some juice when he saw a picture of his uncle. His uncle had died in a battle alongside his own bonded dragon, Vinezilla's father Forest. Caleb smiled and touched the picture. "I'll keep the legacy going," said Caleb. He then saw a picture of him and Seth in the sixth grade. "I'll find you soon dude," he said. "You and your new dragon," thought Vinezilla.
