As chusui settles down she climbs off the back and goes to the training hall. No one was there except for a glittering onyx dragon it was huge maybe 59 years old and was the instructor for any who would ask. She knew it's hatchday was close and she had prepared a gift for the celebration.
It turned its stoney gaze on her and smiles baring long fangs. "Welcome back little long ears, I trust your meeting went as planned." He said in a low rumbling voice like boulders falling down a cliff.
"Better he remembered me... I understand why he left now. " the dragon raised its ancient head and let out a peal of laughter.
"Good I knew he would reveal it and now you come before me for training to be a dragon knight such as he" the dragon said shrewdly and she nodded. "Know that the training to become one is far more demanding than your current training. And the time you have to spend on yourself is very short. Do you accept this responsibility and sacrifice?" It asks and she nodded again
"I'm ready I'll do anything to become a dragon knight" She vowed and the dragon stood up and walked over to her. The footsteps shaking the earth.
"Veey well. I shall inform the council of your choice. Knkw that you will be under the eye of many since you are the first to request such training in three decades." It said lowering its head in a gesture of respect and touching her brow with its nose. She gulped knowing she just signed away her time to kiss him for longer periods of time but she now knew every time she saw him she would kiss him for as long as she could.
Chusui looked at her rider and secretly giggles as her rider was hiding much deeper desires from herself. The desire to claim one as her mate. Chusui thanks the elder and accepts the responsibility of learning to weild the authority to police the riders and protect them from themselves and threats.
As for wyrden and Lance they returned to their tower where they dwell with the other knights and got ready for their watch. They were to keep their eyes on the great sea for the night and had learned a spell that reveals life energy to their vision just for such a task.
As the sun sinks low they take off and she saw them flying overhead and secretly wished she was in his arms again. As they settle in the outermost watchtower the begin their assugnment.. it was easy keeping watch since nothing ever happened so it was an easy night for them. Even boring. She trained hard to study all she needed for the trials that awaited her whe he performed the duties of a knight.
His watch involved a patrol between two watch towers reporting everything he saw to his commander in line and file next to other knights. Some were cruel but they had their reasons. Others were kind and quiet showing wisdom when they speak but most were excitable and inexperienced. As the night wore on nothing happened and the land was safe for another day.
