It was a warm day, high above the clouds where the sun always shone, when suddenly a blur shot from the belly of one puffy white mass. The figure was moving fast enough that when a group of tired merchants looked up they could only tell it was not a humanoid. No. This was a dragon and she was furiously rocketed toward them like her life depended upon it. Just then, out of nowhere, ripped an inhuman screech and a bubbling gasp. All merchants turned to see a would be assailant being cut down by a young boy while his chums surrounded the lad.
Yet when a swordsman tried to aid the kid, he noticed that the youngling had weapons drawn already and was holding his own pretty decently. Try as they might, the bandits couldn't break through the defenses, until one lucky stroke from a falling man caught the boy in his thigh. All of the murderers jumped and soon were ready for the death blow...

An older man, dressed not in real fine silks or satin but instead in wool and cotton, had rode upon a scene that caught his attention. A dragon sped toward a throng of bystanders who were watching a boy cut down many assassins and thieves. Then the unlucky shot struck and the half elf sprang into action. He called out to David mentally as he shot toward the boy. His sword, Undbitr, was drawn and at the ready when he blocked several attacks. Hopefully Brenton would gain help from his pupil in time to save this child.

David had been practicing his mind battling abilities with Heralda and Zeus when he felt a new presence try to force its way into his mind. At first David thought it was some ploy by Heralda or Zeus to confuse him, yet he recognized Brenton's touch and allowed him to enter his mind. he acknowledged the Cry for help and looked at Zeus, suddenly fearful for his partner of mind and heart. If this Dragon bested him.. well David and Zeus had never battled another Dragon before. They came close with Clarissa and Vervada, yet they had never battled tooth and claw before. David felt Zeus forecfully push these thoughts aside and said in his deep magestic voice "I am more than some Hatchling David, I can take care of some Riderless Dragon. Especially with Heralda and you by my side." David nodded as he climbed onto his Dragon's back and unsheathed Kveykva. He lifted the black sword to the sky as Zeus jumped into it. Wings flapping to gain altitude. He contacted Brenton and said "Concentrate on the men below, for Zeus and I shall take care of the Dragon."
They then winged their way towards the battle. Zeus roaring in chalenge. Heralda melded her mind with Zeus and David, saying "Let me see with your eyes, hear with your ears. I will aid you in this battle." She then reached out to Brenton as well, to lend her experitise and strength to him if he should so need it.

Asuni roared once more as a dragon and rider appeared. I wish not to hurt another of our proud race, brother, but if you stay in the path of me getting to my rider then I will. She prepared for an attack while still trying to get to Chase.
Brenton was cutting down the enemies with contemptuous ease until one happened to carry twin swords. With a sigh, the half elf drew his blade from when he was knighted. Now he had two weapons as well. Slowly Brenton whittled down the last of the assailants and then crouched to heal the boy.

Zeus roared again. So the boy was this dragon's rider? That must have made the boy pretty special, for a dragon in this time and place to choose a child for her rider, when veteran adults were needed to rebuild the Riders.. if not to its former glory then at least a shadow of it. Right now they were but a shadow of a shadow. However this changed Zeus's plan of attack. He angled himself towards the men. David knew what he was doing.. a new move they had been practicing.
When He neared the men he flipped upside down, allowing David to swipe at two of the remaining assailants with his black sword, decapitating them with ease. The Black Dragon then flapped once to gain altitude, then twisted and returned to Brenton, where he landed and took up a protective stance. A Growl ripping from between his maw. He knew what he would do if any stood in his way when David was injured.. even if someone was trying to help them. So he was not going to have this Dragon try to kill his Rider's Mentor. David stayed on Zeus's back and asked Brenton "How fairs the Rider?"
