Hey guys and gals sorry about my messy story. I figured out what I am doing
wrong when I post my chapters. ( I really don't write that bad most of the
time) Thanks for the renews love you all. Dusk of the four minds.
Growing pains
In the first week, the dragon that she called Shenth after her mentor in swordplay doubled in size it was everything Jade could do to keep the little beast from being hungry. She spent hours hunting afraid that the dragon would get lost in the desert Jade left him in the cave. Being only armed with a sword and dagger hunting desert game was rough work. With in the next week she was exhausted and game was becoming scarce.
"What am I going to do?" Jade asked the air one night. Shenth was lying with his head in her lap humming loudly when his eyes looked up into hers.
~I hunt. ~ A voice said in that back of Jade mind.
"W....who said that?" Jade looked around for the source of the voice taking Shenth up her arms.
~I did. ~ It said again this time Jade looked down at the bundle of gleaming red in her arms. He just looked back up with whose maroon eyes and flipped his whip like tail.
"You?" Jade asked in bewilderment. She could feel a new link between her and Shenth forming. She thought she give it a try ~ Can you hear me? ~
Shenth cocked his head to the side and simply answered, ~Yes~.

Shenth turned out to be a first rate hunter often getting twice the amount that Jade could. The next few weeks however presented a new problem. Shenth was growing at an alarming rate. In a month he had grown to be about the size of Storm her horse. She knew they couldn't stay in that cave much longer. If Shenth kept growing at the same pace he wouldn't be able to squeeze though the entrance of the cave in another month. Plus, he was going to need bigger game soon. He couldn't live off small birds and snakes forever. So Jade made her mind to move out of the caves and down toward the Beor Mountains where game was bigger.
The next day she packed her few belongings in the leather bags and made sure storm was ready for a long ride. She took as much water as she could, making sure everyone was well water before they set out. At first Shenth walk beside Jade's horse, but soon took to the sky tried of getting sand in his eyes. He enjoyed the freedom of the sky doing flips, barrel rolls, and plunging at the ground pulling up at the last minute.
~ I am going to go catch some dinner if you don't mind little one.~ Shenth sent to Jade.
~Ok, be careful~ With that Shenth flew off into the west. Jade rode on humming happily to herself when an arrow whizzed by her head making a soft thud in the sand. Jade turned to see a band Ra'zac hot on her tail. Jade kicked Storm into a run, but the Ra'zac kept gaining speed. ~SHENTH I NEED HELP! ~ Jade head sreamed hopeing he was close enough to hear it. An archer took aim at his target and landed an arrow right in Storm's hindquarters. He reared up throwing Jade to the sand. Jade struggled for her footing moving just in time to avoid a blow from a sword. She pulled her own sword and took on the Ra'zac closest to him. Being a better swordswomen than she looked, managed to best him. When she went for the killing blow, an arrow struck her in her right arm. The sword fell to the ground the arm no longer able to bare its weight. Another quickly hit her in the head with tilt of his sword. Jade fell to her knees darkness creeping in on the sides of her vision. The Ra'zac raised his sword to her neck she could feel the cool steel. Jade prepared for the end, when a shadow intervened. Though her blurred vision Jade only got a glimpse of brown hair before she passed out.
