"Rubbish, complete rubbish Sal. This is why you cannot have nice things!" Darcy berated putting a rag to Elsa's back patting the bruises with cream sighing heavily shooting one more glare at his companion.

"How was I supposed to stop her from hurting herself when she squirms like barn mouse caught in a trap?" Darcy huffed shaking his head keeping silent while Sal sat back watching him work with hooded lids a lazy smile on her mouth.

Elsa groaned stirring, wobbly she raised her upper body with her arms looking around confused. They observed her eyes flashing with first confusion then remembrance. When the young girl's eyes fell upon Sal she scurried to sit up moving back in weak worry. "Elsa this is Salphineir, Salphineir Elsa." Darcy looked to her with a sparkling eye. "You need not worry of Sal here Elsa she won't harm you…and if she does she'll regret it." His tone matched one of a parent promising their child punishment if they misbehaved. The supposed Sal sunk back exactly like a scolded child sending apologetic eyes Elsa's way. She gave an awkward smile back followed by a tiny wave. This seemed to excite the dragon further causing her to wiggle happily reminding everyone in the room how large she was. "Relax Sal goodness. I apologize again Elsa it's been a long while she's had anyone besides myself." Elsa nodded with a small chuckle standing legs still shaking in protest to their owner's decision to move towards Sal. She reached out a hand once more in attempt to feel her scales. Sal held deathly still shivering and closing her eyes when she felt the tiny cool fingers caress her scales. It was so lovely in contrast to her warmer than usual body.

Elsa marveled at the skin she felt beneath her palm a slow smile stretching her touch further. She jumped a little when a purr resonated in the dragon but continued her exploratory message. When she pulled away she caught Sal's sweet with her own feelings something fuzzy arise within her mind. Sal cooed deeply feeling the same sensation. Darcy looked between them with a grin. Elsa frowned turning to him. "I thought I was the only…one who-" her voice trailer off.

"Who what? Wielded magic? Is considered a freak by those less unique? No Elsa you are not but do not fear I will teach you how to use your powers and control them." This startled the maiden whose voice rose and octave frightening Sal. "Are you serious? My powers killed a man and ruined my life…because of my curse I will never see my family again." He last point drew tears together eyes.

Darcy regarded her calmly. "Your family is closer than you think."

"Stop talking in riddles!" Elsa barked. Sal nodded. "Yea I hate when you do that, trying to sound cryptic but just giving me a headache with your word puzzles." Elsa's hand settled on the dragon's snout which rested against her leg. The pair sending the sudden kinship between them. Darcy who looked tired and drained rubbed his eyes. "Your training begins tomorrow Elsa so I suggest you both get rest." Sal's head rose up as he exited the room.

The only thing left to be heard was the sound of Elsa's breathing and the casual grumble from Sal's chest. "Come on then." She said walking towards to where the room opened to the outside to what looked to be a cliff. Elsa followed Sal as the dragon stopped stretching her jaw to impossible widths in a yawn. She started down the cliff with cat like reflexes. Elsa looked after her for a few seconds before looking for a safe way she could climb down.

She found a foot hole stepping into it easing herself down slowly having made it to the forest floor already Sal looked to her side noticing it was empty. She faced back to see the human had barely put a dent in making it down the cliff. "You can't be serious." She mused to herself turning around climbing up again.

Elsa's chest heaved as she made progress with another inch. Her joy was short lived when the rock she had gripped collapsed under her weight. She yelped she fell backwards feeling a surge of electric coldness shoot from her body. Before she could even scream she found herself upon solid ground. Opening her eyes Elsa discovered it wasn't solid ground but Sal's palm she was in. Sal switched hands shaking the ice off the hand she used to catch Elsa but not before observing.

Once they made it to the ground Elsa was placed down gently to be nudged forward by Sal's snout. She kept walking while Sal took the lead into the forest. After walking for some time Elsa decided to speak. "I would have never guessed you to be female-"

"I am not." Elsa resisted the urge to check subtly knowing the dragon would know. "But Darcy calls you she." She stated earning a glance back, "Only because it is convenient for him."

"So you're male?"

"I am not." Now Elsa was extremely perplexed. "But how can that be?" she asked carefully.

"Draconians are omni sexed." She caught one word in the statement. Sensing her confusion Sal began to explain. "There is a race called dovah, it consists of dragons, drakes Wyvern, wrym, and what I am. Nature deemed us worthy enough to not having to be restricted in having two sex so our sex adjust to..well erm the situation when presented with mating." Elsa soaked in the intel for the rest of the walk she was tempted to point out the odd tint on Sal's cheeks..was she blushing.

There were many sounds some she recognized and some she didn't. "Are there o-others like you here?" she asked trying to hide the worry in her voice. "Yes, not draconians…I am the last of that species."

"I'm sorry." Elsa asked regretting her cowardice question. She tripped over a stump hidden in the dark, before she could hit the ground her fall was broken by the support of Sal's tail saving her from the plummet. "It matters not, I have never met another one of me, so nothing to miss." Sal replied setting her upright. She nodded deciding to let the rest of their travels be painted in a gentle silence allowing the night to sing its song.

The pair reached the edge of the forest to a grassy field at the center of it was a very large tree. They walked to it both enjoying the night sky and fireflies fluttering about sharing their light. Sal climbed up to a platform made of a variety of materials. Elsa's climb proved to be less easy as she gained a scratch from scrapping her arm across a branch. She tried to venture into the nest with difficulty so Sal picked her up with her tail assisting her. Sighing she rested her head on the edge of the nest gazing out into the night. She never realized humans would be so helpless. Elsa looked around the bare nest before going to the edge leaning against its wall trying to get comfortable. She found a good position yawing from exhaustion. The draconian turned her stare to the maiden drifting off.

"Goodnight Sal." Elsa said curling up closer. Sal tiled her head noticing how cute humans could be despite being somewhat useless. Hesitantly she wrapped her tail round Elsa providing her neck with support so as she wouldn't wake up sore. It was then Sal settled with herself that whether she liked it or not Elsa was her human now and she had the responsibility to take care of her. She asked for this and would take all that came with it.

"Goodnight Elsa."
