Sorry, this took a while. I did start on it pretty early after I finished the last chapter but I never finished it. Please enjoy this chapter and if you have any questions then contact me with either a PM or review.

The characters in this story are all mine.

Chapter 2: Rey

A few years had passed since her rebirth and she was itching to go and explore. She couldn't fly yet but she could glide with her wings and walk with her legs. As long as she stayed near their forest, she should be safe. With this thought in mind, Relna set off into the wilderness. She would be gone and back before anyone got worried. All sorts of sensations and feelings came to her as she wandered around, the smell of the damp ground under her claws to the chirping of nearby birds. She soon found herself in a large clearing on the outskirts of the forest. Climbing onto a rock producing from the wet ground, Relna opened her wings and jumped off. The air whistled past her head and thanks to the double eyelids that all dragons had, she could keep them open without irritating her sensitive eyes. Relna landed near the centre of the clearing. As it was autumn, leaves of differing hues of reds, greens, oranges and browns littered the moist ground.

Relna took a few more steps before she found herself thrust up into the air by a net. Her eyes swam as the blood rushed to her head and a surprised squeak came out of her maw. She struggled with the net but seemed to just get even more tangled up. At last, Relna gave up and hung limp and suspended in the air, the heat of the sun soon got her drousy and she drifted off into a restless sleep.

"So, what do you think we caught this time?" a male voice brought her out of her sleep, "maybe a rabbit, or a large, fat bird, or even a deer or elk."

"I hope it's big because I'm hungry," this voice sounded much younger.

Twigs snapped and leaves crackled as the two humans came. One was tall and older than the short younger one. A bush parted as they stepped through.

"Now son, if it's still alive, I'll let you kill it ok?"

"Ok, Dad," as father and son looked into their net, a startled gasp came from the dad.

"Th...thats a dragon. A young one but still a dragon."

The dad pulled out his hunting knife and walked tentatively toward her. Relna renewed her struggle and the dad flinched back before stepping up next to her. The dad lowered the net onto the ground. Relna was around the size of a large dog and the dad loomed over her.

"Dad, wait," he turned to his son.

"Sorry son, I'll let you kill it if you like." The dad handed the knife over.

The boy cautiously stepped towards her and she tried to move back, the heavy net stopped her.

He stopped right in front of her and hesitated.

"Come on son, just kill it."

Still, the boy hesitated.

With trembling hands, the boy raised the knife over his head. Relna raised a wing up in a futile defence, her wing didn't even get past her head because of the net.

"Yes son, kill the beast that's been our enemy since the beginning of time."

The boy brought the knife down, Relna instinctively shut her eyes tightly.

The knife cut through her bonding!

She opened her eyes and saw the dad push the boy and yell something at him. The boy who didn't even know her that had freed her and saved her body. Relna crawled out of the net as the dad spun around with a red knife. He advanced slowly to her, his son lay limply on the ground.

Relna jumped at the man, her claws barely piercing his clothes as he swung his knife at her.

"Dragon, you shall die here."

He was right. She didn't have a chance of beating him since she was too young. She slowly backed away, keeping him in view.

Relna went back to the top of the rock and found what she was looking for. She jumped off and glided to the ground a few meters away from him. He ran at her and it took all her willpower to not move. Just as he was about to swipe down at her, he was suddenly hoisted into the air by another of his nets.

"What!"

The knife clattered to the ground.

Relna bounded over to the boy, a trickle of blood was dripping onto the ground.

As her shadow passed over his face, his eyes opened slightly.

"Dra...dragon, please don't kill me."

"Why would I do that after what you did for me?" Relna looked at the cut in the boy's side, it wasn't too deep but could be fatal if she didn't do anything.

"Wait, you can talk, I think imagining stuff now."

"Of course I can talk, all of us can."

"But your speaking in our language."

"Actually it's our language and you humans took it from us, but we don't have time for this. You need help or you'll die."

"Well if you can take me back to my villige we have a healer there."

"Ok, lie on my back and tell me which directions to go, I'll take you back."

The boy got off the ground slowly and climbed onto her back. Even though he was small, he was still heavy and she sagged under the wait.

When the boy was lying comfortably on her back, he asked, "what's your name, or do dragons not have names?"

"My name is Relna, what's yours?"

"Mine name is Rey, my villages name is Tyne."

"Ok Rey, which way to Tyne?"

Well, this is the end to chapter 2. I hope you enjoyed it and want to know what's to come. Leave a review on what you think about it because it would mean a lot to me and I'll get started on the next chapter.
