War is coming

Elva~

I looked at the assembled riders. Most looked tired from the previous day's exorcises.
"Today I'm going to tell you a quick story, about how magic can help you, that will tie into the next few lessons, then well go back to magic. Dragons, you are staying today." I gazed at them all, then I put a hand on Amestar.

"One reason you need to learn how to use magic, is for the sake of your dragon. I know the dragons can take care of themselves, but, not in all cases. Did you know, that other spellcasters can get into your head, and control your actions. How nice would it be if they made you attack your own dragon?" Some of the riders gasped. Hey, they need to know the truth. "If you can learn how to use magic, you can protect yourself from these kinds of attacks. Magic also allows for healing your dragon
"Dragons, you can also help your rider by lending them your energy to cast spells, shield their minds, and help find enemies. It's important for you to learn aerial combat."

I looked at all the riders. I let there be a pause, to let the riders communicate between themselves, to increase the bond.

"We will continue to work on magic later. But today and maybe a few days more, we are going to learn dragon care, but, don't forget to try to break the barrier in your mind, to release the magic, but don't do any magic, unless it's in front of me."

I showed the riders various saddles and what each where used for, special tools to take dirt off of scales, and different types of saddle bags. I showed them how to attach the saddle onto the dragon, and the saddle bags.

"After class, any of you may come and try to do magic. Class is over."

Rex~

I gave Namid a break for today, she's probably going to fool around with her dragon. The king said I had to talk to the werecats today. What a bore.

I found them at the bottom of a staircase, talking silently with their minds.

Good afternoon. I said, talking with my mind,

They blinked at me. Is there anything you can tell me to help the emperor?

That is actually what we were talking about, before you rudely butted in. Rue said.

Saphire said War is coming. You will have to make allies with enemies.

I snorted. What rubish this was, is to be expected by werecats.

You will have to leave here soon
Rue said.

Saphire nodded.
