I do not own dragonar, this is a fan fiction only.
In the world were I was born there were many wars, and they were conducted between many nations, but they eventually ended and one nation was charged with keeping the peace between the last four remaining nations. This was done by having a massively powerful military and the officers of said military commanded the most powerful force my world had ever seen.
I was one of the children to one of the generals that died in the last war, Blake family had served in the military with distinction for many generations and being the son of the general we were pretty close to the royal family and the children of other general's. My name is Ash Blake and as the remaining member of my family I had a lot to live up to.
My childhood friend and sometimes she would even say my girlfriend was the daughter to a friend of my father also a fellow general. It embarrassed me something fierce every time mother would joke with Rebecca's mother that we made a good couple.
As I mentioned this before the officers of the nation given the task of maintaining the peace commanded a mighty force but the force I mean might seem unbelievable to some of you. These officers were called breeders and they were called this because they at an early age would undergo a special ritual called the Orphin Ritual. If a child was found to have the right attributes or personality a dragon would be born from him or her, that dragon would be his partner or par.
My friend Rebecca had a beautiful baby dragon when she under went the ritual but since I was a couple of years younger than her I had to wait to have my chance. She went to the dragonar academy which was located in the capital of the nation where the academy was located.
I had always played with, talked with and enjoyed my free time with my friend. To be separated like that made me realize how important she truly was to me and I missed her an awful lot more than I ever figured I would.
The day finally came and I went to the shrine of the dragon mother to undergo the Orphin Ritual. One girl was present during the rite and she was Silvia. The fourth daughter to the ruling family. In other words a princess and as she was the fourth child of the royal family she desperately wanted to be chosen a breeder.
As the Ritual came to an end my baby dragon laid in my arms and a crest called the star crest was seen on my arm. I know he would one day be a massive creature that could destroy buildings but to me at that time he was as precious as if he was my baby boy, adorable and friendly to boot.
I turned to see the crying face of the princess and I looked at the dragon mother with a sad look on my face, "You are willing to lend your precious par to this girl so she would achieve her dream? You are indeed a caring soul and I shall allow this, but make no mistake. I will tell her my condition in accepting this arrangement."
The dragon mother appeared before us not as a mental projection like before but as a physical manifestation. She looked like an awe inspiring dragon but as she came close to us she changed into a more human looking appearance.
"Princess Silvia by all rights you have failed the Orphin Ritual and thus are not a breeder, but the young breeder next to you is willing to lend you his snow dragon to you. I shall place a star crest and you will be allowed to be the master to this young man's dragon, but be warned should you ever insult him and his dragon and do so in the same day he will have the right to reclaim his dragon by mentioning this condition to our arrangement."
She looked at me with a sad look on her face, "I shall not however allow you to waste the talents you have as a breeder and thus I give you a special star crest, a crest that will allow you to communicate and be able to ride any dragon as long as said dragon allows you willingly to ride him or her." The pain was immense and I collapsed on the sanctuary floor.
As I finished my rudimentary education I was told that I would be entered into the dragonar academy, which caught the attention of every one in the academy since I was the only student that didn't have my own par, most people believed that I was let in because of who my father had been but many openly voiced their disapproval at me attending the academy.
I had several friends that allowed me to communicate and even train while riding their dragons. I often said that I hoped that I was not causing trouble between them and their par, they told me in many occasions that it was no trouble at all. It allowed them to rest a little and allow their par to grow stronger.
As the festival was coming along the class needed to have a refresher course about breeders and par to make sure everyone understood what it meant to be a breeder and having a par. I had a sneaky suspicion that they did it to signal me out and hide an obvious insult.
The instructor being a breeder herself stood in front of our class, if I didn't think she hated me I would probably be like every other guy in class going gaga over how beautiful she was, but she made her displeasure and disgust of me attending the academy quite obvious to me the first day I sat on her class.
"All those that pass the Orphin Ritual as people blessed by the dragon mother, and a dragon is born from their body, this is why we call those with a star crest breeders and the dragon who was born from the breeder becomes their partner or par. These breeders share their life force with their par and thus both can become exceptionally strong. Their have even been cases where a breeder becomes so mighty and recognized they obtain noble status."
As she looked at me I knew the insult was coming next, "All of you have the joyous opportunity to attend and participate in the dragonar festival race, since you all have your par don't you? One of the bullies in my class took this as an opportunity to join in and insult me.
"Yes Instructor we have our par, well all except for one of us." This made many of the class to laugh and as I heard her say that I would eventually have a par or get kicked out of the academy whichever came first.
Raymond was a good friend but he had a rather unusual fascination with my star crest, personally I find a bit disturbing truth be told and I am not the only one that thinks so either, his par a good friend of mine named Bridig also agreed with me that it was a little much sometimes.
As we walk towards the door one blonde student decided to make her dislike of me quite obvious and clear, she must have forgotten that I was the breeder that let her ride my par. She grew up to be quite an attractive young woman, but her personality left so much to be desired.
She was given the unofficial title of the Ice Blood Princess and I simply knew her as Silvia. "How dare you both stand in the way of a member of the royal family. I expected better from you Raymond, be sure to train your pet monkey to stand aside and let royalty pass."
I was not about to let this pass without me making sure she understood that I felt insulted. "Princess you may be royalty but here we are all equal. Why would you insult me so brazenly at the doorway to our very classroom?"
She cleared her long blonde hair from her shoulder and looked at me as if I was a mere insect. "Guess I will help train your pet monkey Raymond. It is quite simple if you don't have a par that came from your own body you are no breeder. You are a spoiled, worthless, stupid, delusional brat with ideas that border on insanity. You might be allowed to come to the academy because of who your father was, but to me your nothing more than a pet monkey. I wait the day you are removed from this academy like the piece of garbage almost the entire academy knows you are!"
I watched her go and Raymond touched my shoulder in clear support, "Don't take it too bad she let the fact that she has one of the strongest dragons in the academy go to her head." As we walk towards our practical lessons he saw me touch my left arm.
"I still don't see why you must hide your star crest. I think it is cool that you can ride the dragons of other breeders. I know Bridgid enjoys it. Come on enter the festival race, I will even lend you my par. If you participate and win that will show others that you have every right to attend."
As I hear him say this I see someone I haven't seen in a few years, and she certainly draws the attention of both male and even female breeders. I had to remind myself she was still my childhood friend but even I had to admit she certainly changed.
"Checking out the student body president are you, who can blame you. Arc Dragonar at such a young age and master to one of the most powerful dragons Cu Culain, if that wasn't enough that angelic face and smoking hot body could attract anyone. I wouldn't mind serving under Rebecca Randall anytime day and specially night."
I may consider myself this idiot's friend but I had to avoid Rebecca because if she heard him the fool will be six feet under if she got her hands on him. I stand at a side of the class as they practice the basic moves for dragon combat. Raymond decides to take a brake and I hoop on Bridgid's saddle as he dismounts, and I make certain to thank him and Bridgid.
"Thanks for letting me ride you Bridgid. How about we take off the kid gloves and show them what real dragon combat looks like." I got a look from her that told me she agreed with my desire to go all out.
As the class continued we really got into the combat maneuvers and I guess we sort of lost focus because when we evaded a strike from two dragons who were clearly going to gang up on us we jumped and ended up crashing into another dragon and just happens to be Silvia.
"Stop, Ash how many times have I told you to be careful when riding other people's dragons. You both look unhurt, I think we had enough practice for today. Most of you still have the dragonar festival race to participate after all."
I dismounted and looked at Bridgid. "Sorry I got to excited by the combat and lost focus, please forgive me Bridgid." She smiled and rubbed her head on my cheek clearly a sign she didn't hold it against me. Silvia Lautreamont just had to be the one I ended bumping with.
"This wouldn't happen if you rode your own par instead if somebody else's." Raymond said that since I didn't have a par yet that it couldn't be helped. I was ready to hand Bridgid's reins over to Raymond when she said something I would make sure she would regret for the rest of her life.
"If he is as stupid as a breeder, maybe his par is just as untalented, useless and stupid as he all we know his par might have been so weak, stupid, and wimpy that it is probably dead already and he is lying that he doesn't have one since his is already dead."
That was the final straw, she can insult me till hell freezes over, but to insult my par that is not what I intend to let that happen. "Princess you will apologize to me and my par or so help me I will make you regret it for the rest of your life."
She again looked at me as if I was an insect, "I have nothing to apologize for, what can you expect from such a worthless breeder such as yourself, your dragon must have been equally worthless and that is why it ended up committing suicide!"
I walked up to her and I glare at her star crest, which was covered by her clothes but I still remember what the dragon mother warned her about. "I call upon the dragon mother to remedy my mistake of my youth, the condition has been breached dragon mother. I call for my right to take back my par and return the offender to her rightful state. You were correct mother, I apologize for my foolishness."
The sky darkened and the voice of the Dragon Mother was heard in the entire kingdom. "It takes great humility and honor to accept your mistake, I forgive you Ash Blake. I warned you long ago that this would happen Princess and by insulting breeder and par on the same day you shall be punished. I remove the star crest Ash asked me to allow you to have and make it known that you never passed the Orphin Ritual. Lancelot I hear by return your star crest to your true master Ash Blake. Now return to your breeder and rejoice you two will never be separated again."
As I overcame the pain of my original star crest returning on my right arm Lancelot came charging at me and was rubbing his head on mine, people saw as tears of joy come out of his eyes as he did that. "Sorry for my absence my precious par, looks like I got my par back Raymond."
She rolled up her right sleeve and saw that she no longer had the star crest. "Dragon thief, you will return my par this instant." The second she tried to take the reins Lancelot was ready to burn her hands off, and she knew it.
"You may have forgotten princess but I lent you my par that day long ago, you were warned that if you insult me or my par I could reclaim my par should you insult us on the same day, which you have done so. You doubted that I was not a dragonar or a breeder. Now everyone knows the one who failed the Orphin Ritual was not I but you. It was thanks to your arrogance and ego that I am once again reunited with my par."
