Last time :
When the light -or what ever it was- disappeared there were now two things in the clearing. One was Luna and the other was-
A women. A very young , very beautiful women. She had long flowing black hair with a red tint. Her eyes were a breath- taking emerald green. She was extremely pale but not sickly pale. On her top lip she had pitch black lipstick while on her bottom lip she had red. She wore a black -with red tint- dress that went to mid-thigh, with ruby red shorts underneath. Instead of normal shinobi sandals she wore black high heels. ( think Tsunade's shoes) On her wrist were gold bracelets. She had a tattoo on her lower back, in the shape of a five tailed dragon.
Luna was so shocked by the stranger's sudden appearance that she couldn't talk. The stranger looked at Luna and then the space around them like she was looking for something or more like someone.
"Why did you summon me child?" The scarlet vice snapped Luna out of her trance like state.
"What do you mean? I didn't summon you, you just appeared." Luna replied somewhat confused.
" Nonsense child, I can only be summoned by the rider," said the stranger, " Where is your dragon? And where is your sign?"
Luna stood up from her sitting position to look right at the stranger.' What is she talking about? What the hell is a rider and what the hell is 'the sign' I think she is insane.' Luna's thoughts were cut short my the stranger's voice.
' I really gotta stop talking to myself, well more like think.'
"Child, why have you called for me?" The black haired women asked. Again.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Luna was starting to get annoyed. (A/N I hate it mean that happens. You don't know what someone is talking about when they think you do.)
" Child-"
" Stop. Calling. me. child." Luna said though gritted teeth.
"Alright then, let's start by introducing our selves. I'm Kyoko of the dragons. Who are you hatchling" Stated the stranger now known as Kyoko.
"I'm Uzumaki Luna. Why are you calling me hatchling? And I thought dragons were extincted? Luna was curious about Kyoko.
" Hatchling is what we call our young. And dragons were never extincted, we just stayed hidden do to some rather unpleasant events, to which I'll explain in do time. Now Luna, show me your sign."
" How man times do I have to ask? WHAT SIGN?!" Luna was starting to get pissed off. First the teachers at the academy fail her on purpose, then she gets beat up, then she meets this lunatic, and now she won't shut up about this stupid sign.
" Why the sign of the Dragon Rider of course." Replied Kyoko
" Wh-What do you mean, I don't have the sign."
" Of course you do Luna, only those with the sign can summon their guardians. I, so happen to be yours. Let me see your wrists." Kyoko said.
Luna showed Kyoko her wrists. What happened next will change Luna's future forever. On Luna's Left wrist was a dagger with a red dragon wrapping around it. While on her right was the kanji for rider. By now Luna's eyes were the size of dinner plates.
" Th-Those weren't there earlier." Luna said in a shocked voice.
" They were always there, but they only become visible to you when you had that a near death experience. Yes I know about that."
"How , Never mind."
"So what does the sign mean?" Luna was now very curious,
" It means that you will have to fine your dragon. Let me tell you what a rider is exactly."
With that Kyoko and Luna walk to the waters edge and sat down Indian style. Once they got comfortable Kyoko started the long story about riders.
"First let's start with what you know about dragons and guardians." started Kyoko.
"Well,i know dragons can fly. They can breath fire, and from what I've read they are really loyal. For guardians, don't they just guard?" That was about all that Luna knew about dragons and guardians.
"Huh that's it? Um okay. Not many know this but, three thousand years ago there was a war called ' The Dragon War'. The reasons for the war were simple, power, greed, and fear. There were some greedy humans back then, a lot more then now. The war really started when these humans found out that if you bond with a dragon or have the mark -as you do- they become immortal. You would never grow old, you would have forever youth, inhuman abilities, and remarkable power. Since this was found out power hungry, and greedy humans thought that if they had a dragon on their side they would be invincible. So these mortals would suddenly bear the 'mark' and demand for a dragon. The head dragon got tired of all the false 'marks' that when the real dragon riders came they were turned down, because the head dragon -Itaka ( I'm going to call him that from now on)- couldn't tell if the mark they bear is real or fake. And so, along story short, all hell broke loose. War was declared on dragons for not giving themselves up. The war itself lasted about one hundred and fifty years. Until Itaka decided that it would be best if dragons were to become 'extinct'. Sadly all the real dragon riders died off during the war. From either not being able to bond with their partners -which leads to the death of both rider and dragon- or from the riders and dragons that took part in the war. Guardians are what you said. They simply guard. Every rider has a guardian, the guardians give advice to their charges, and also protect the dragons and riders from danger. They protect the secrets of the dragons. With someone was to leak any information about riders and dragons, the guardians eliminate the threat."
After Kyoko finished Luna had many emotions. Anger, sadness,happiness,and comfort. Anger because of the stupidity of the power hungry and greedy, sadness at the way the dragons were treated, like some power giving machines. Happiness that she has the honor of being a dragon rider, and lastly she feels comforted by the fact that she is going to have someone that will always be there.
" Thats … thats so sad." Luna was really intrigued by this history lesson. But she was still sad.
" Yes, it is. But what's done is done. The past is the past. Before we continue I must ask something. Do you wish to be a dragon rider?" At the end Kyoko was dead serious. She waited patiently for Luna to answer.
" Yes, I do."
Kyoko smiled down at Luna. Finally there was going to be a new rider, and a kind one at that. That is very uncommon.
"Very well. We shall now go over the rules and abilities for-"
"Rules? There are rules?" Luna asked tilting her head to the left a little. Luna's thoughts were along the lines of
' What the hell? What rules could there be for a rider?' Mean while Kyoko was letting out a laugh.
"Yes, there are rules. What? You didn't honestly think you would just get your dragon and be on the way. Ha, don't make me laugh. Now on with the rules and abilities. First, what ever happens to you happens to your dragon and vis versa . Second, before you even get your dragon you have to pass a test. One which Itaka will give you. Third, you must NOT under ANY circumstances tell any one of your dragon, without permission from Itaka. Fourth, you must NEVER allow any one to ride and/or use your dragon with out your dragons permission. You never know if someone might try to steal your dragon. Now, on to the abilities. For starters, you get heighten senses. Oh and once you and your dragon are bonded you will be able to join your mind with your dragon's, by doing this you will be able to see,hear,smell what your dragon sees,smells, and hears. All you have to do is say is ' Skulblakas Ven' (1). But this takes great strength, do not do it to soon . Wait until you are ready. Now every dragon has special gifts, some are similar to other, but no two are ever the same. For instance, one dragon may be able to change the heat of their fire to burn or freeze their opponents. While another may be able to cast spells. Now, these gift will be past down from dragon to rider. Remember dragon and rider are one."
"Wow," was all that Luna could say.
Kyoko let that sink in before she continued. It amused her to no end to see the expressions on Luna's face. Priceless. By now Luna was doing a great expression of a fish out of water. To think that she may have all these abilities is incredible! Kyoko took a breath before she continued.
" Now, as I said before some other abilities are immortality, and youth. I believe thats it." Now that Kyoko was finished explaining everything to her charge she could stay in the human realm.
" That's- I mean- wow." To say Luna was surprised would be an understatement. She couldn't believe that such power existed. This was unbelievable, no incredible.
After some more talking with Kyoko, Luna realized how late it was. The sun was coming up so she guessed around 5: 30am. She needed to get home and change before she goes to the academy.
"Hey Kyoko, I need to go home. The academy will start in about two hours and I need to change."
Kyoko nodded and got up.
" Do you want me to fly you home?" Kyoko asked.
" Yes, please" Relied Luna.
" Okay climb on my back and hold on tight!" With that Kyoko changed in to a beautiful black dragon. She had black scales and sparkling green slanted eyes. A long black tail with a arrow tip ,and a green belly. Bat like wings, and teeth sharper then a blade. Kyoko's dragon form was about 9' ft tall and 15' ft long. She could hold about two people with out having trouble flying.
Luna marbled at how beautiful she looked. After Luna climbed on Kyoko's back they took off at amazing speeds. The trees were a blur, the wind wiped around Luna's face, and the light from the sun raise made both of them glow.
Normally it took thirty minutes to walk to Luna's house from where they are, but when flying it took all of five minutes.
After they arrived at Luna's house Luna hopped off Kyoko and sprinted to her room. Luna changed into a black tank top, orange shorts that went down to mid-thigh, orange fingerless gloves, and black shinobi sandals. She also had a black choker with a orange pendent around her neck. On her arms and legs were black tinted bandages. Luna tied her shoulder blade length hair into two pony-tails with two burnt orange ribbons. Luna quickly went to the mirror and looked at herself. Once she was satisfied she grab her book bag and sprinted to the kitchen to grab a banana. After she grabbed her make shift breakfast Luna lock the door to her apartment and hopped on Kyoko's back.
Once Luna was on Kyoko's back Kyoko took off.

Hey Guys thanks for added me to your favorites and/or alert list!
Skulblakas Ven – is from Eragon
This is done automatically when a dragon rider joined his/her mind with his/her dragon during flight.
I got that definition from Google, just type in Eragon spells and click the first link.
When I said 'what ever happens to you happens to your dragon and vis versa.'
That means that if you get wounded on the shoulder your dragon will get wounded in the same place. And vis versa.
Love you all!
Hikaru
