Pale eyes widened in the darkness. Painfully slow, they were getting used to the lower light in here and she froze as she caught the sharp glint of dark eyes staring back at her, set within a bearded face. One of the many older than her who'd entered this trial. Well? The good news was he...

Her lungs burned. Every footfall she was in danger of twisting one of her ankles even though each was wrapped tightly. Her pack thudded lightly against her back. Blonde-hair plastered against her pale skin in sweat and heat. But she couldn't afford to stop. Because those older kids were...

Yessss all the dragon things!

She did not wear the garb of a servant today. Those palace robes with the crest of a royal servant. She had second-hand clothes on. A dark brown jacket that was her father's, clearly too big in the shoulders and waist. Wishing for a skirt when she had pants on, instead. Soft leather boots...

Arms crossed as she looked down on him. Blonde curls shifting along her shoulders. "If I could I would force you off that couch." She too had a twitch to her lips even though her eyes narrowed. "Maybe I should just lay on top of you and that would force you to move?" She only realized a...

"He's family, it's not even a question," she said as if she didn't deserve his praise. It was what one should do. She didn't know why but she felt a sense of warmth deep in her chest as he admitted that he planned to stay for awhile. The thought that he might leave left her feeling oddly...

"You don't have to," she began then paused and took a seat, taking off her shoes. "Thank you," she said instead as she watched him curiously. She knew he was strong, fierce, and powerful. And here he was in their house putting away groceries like he had every night for awhile. "It's one of...

It wasn't until late that night that Polina finally returned. It was long after dinner. And her father bid their houseguest good night after sharing a humble meal with him. It seemed like this was status-quo and if he was worried about his daughter, it didn't show. And for as tired as Polina...

Polina set her shoulders straight. Closing the space between them, she wrapped her arms around his larger frame. Hands rubbed up and down his back, and for a moment, she was surprised at herself for how forward she was being. And she couldn't explain it but it felt like she was hugging...

"So you're...," voice trailed off as she stared into his face. Searching his eyes. She couldn't deny what she'd seen. Or felt from his touch. How the brush of his fingertips and close presence had bridged something between them. And even now, even if she'd wanted to, she couldn't deny the...

She gasped as the images and feelings of being taken out of her body stopped. Open-mouth and wide-eyes stared up at the very real Llothr. Blonde-tresses would shift and tickle along the skin of his tanned arm. Instead of alarming, his touch felt familair and comfortable. Safe. As if he'd...

"W-what?" She stared. Brow pinched. What he was saying was impossible, right? It didn't make sense. "Your body," she took a step forward and reached out a finger, swiftly going to poke him in the chest. "Isn't real?" Just great. She'd brought a crazy man into her and her father's home...

She led LLothr the rest of the way. She and her father shared a humble townhouse. It was a terracota colored painted door. And unlike the others it was nestled between, this one had a thriving small garden in the front. A garden filled with herbs and plants, cleary given tender care. The...

"Yes," she said sadly. "Like us they bleed and die." A frown on her lips. It was no small thing to lose a dragon. And greater still when a bonded lost theirs. She heard it was like losing a part of your heart and very soul. And she believed it. There were even stories of the humans left...

His own insistence at her insistence made her about to utter an apology. She shouldn't forget that he was probably a traveling nobleman from afar. A wizard nobleman at that. If he really wanted to, he could just hover her in the air like he'd done the other lord. And he... She stumbled at...
