"I have been watching you for some time."

Har snarled. These sounds were unfamiliar to him. Deep and grumbling. They also appeared to carry meaning of some kind. It was almost lost to him. He had the slightest inclination that the outsider was trying to communicate with him. It was terribly confusing. Most of the dragons communicated very clearly. With large snarls and aggressive postures. This new method was... complicated. He would have to learn again.

"Can you not understand me? But all Dragons know how to… All dragons…You aren't a dragon, are you? But what are you?"

And the language that his mother taught him didn't fit either. He was about to attack, when his mother stepped forward. "Yes, I can...hear you. But I'm...not good with...this."

"Hints of human… too strong to be keeper residue… NO! It can't be! A Dragon animagus, oh this is going to cause a great stir! Follow me if you wish to learn how to speak then. Drat, you won't understand that either. Now, how to convince you…"

Har was still very confused and what was happening. The massive elder dragon was not attacking him, nor was he offering him some kind of gift for his favour. It had sniffed at him, and those deep grumbling sounds were still rather confusing.

"Follow, me." she said before taking off. The Elder started flying towards a valley that Har had not entered before. They flew for awhile before coming to a lake where they dove inside. And followed the outsider into the tunnel.

They came into a caravan, to dragons. Everywhere there were dragons. All around him. Some sleeping, some staring at the new arrival, some making that deep grumbling sound. But what he noticed most of all was how quiet it was.

No screeching, no posturing, just quiet acceptance. It was that kind of silence that followed the subconscious introduction of two dangerous animals. It was the sort of silence that conveyed a message; 'You recognize that I am a bad ass, I recognize that you to are a bad ass. I respect you, and I'm staying over here and I know that you'll stay over there.'

They traveled for some time. hAR watched as the elder continued grumbling as they traveled through caves and tunnels. He heard a distant splashing, like the sound that the elder had made when he entered the water. He could see no entrance to the cave; neither did he feel much airflow that would indicate an entrance large enough for a dragon such as the elder, or himself.

And especially not that fat thing that lazed in the corner. Har doubted if it could even move on it's own without using it's fire. They stopped as they reached the corner in which the fat thing was lazing.

"Elder"

"Ah, brother. How are you?"

"I am well brother. This is the promising one'S I was talking about."

Har looked at the thing, he stared with incredulity as he observed the Elder's submissive attitude to it. This was the elder's Elder? This was their Alpha? The pitiful example of hide could hardly stand, let alone fly! This was-this was wrong!

"A rather beautiful female, the male is not bad? No presence about him."

"He can fight Brother, He has killed many Lost Ones."

"Not such a difficult feat…"

"He is intelligent, and different. Look at him!"

The elder moved a lazy eye to glance at this young one. His wings were far too large. Too much of a target. To thin to do any real damage. Probably couldn't even breathe rock-melting fire when he grew up. Not a fighter. No, perhaps a learner. Yes, that is where this one would be. And four eyes! He could watch many things. Yes, a learner. An observer only.

"Teach him our lore. He is not for fighting."

"Brother!"

"MY WORD IS LAW! If you wish for him to fight, train him! My clan shall now take no part in his training that is your duty here on. Now be gone! Return only when he is a true dragon."

"Very well brother."

Jet was watching quietly, seeing how these two were speaking. He knew that it was about him, his future. But beyond that he did not know. If all dragons were like this 'alpha', he would leave this pathetic clan behind him.

As he left, several female dragons entered the cave, bringing meat in their jaws. He watched behind him as the 'Alpha' rolled over, exposing his organ. The first female hovered over his bloated body. Easing the organ into her body. Pushing her body up and down while feeding him the meat from her maw. The elder moaned through the mouthfuls of choice strips.

He even let the females dominate him!

Jet snorted with disgust, holding back a full blown snarl. He wanted to leave this place. This place of lazed and degenerated dragons. They were defenseless. Lil smiled because she knew her son didnt like that fat thing.

They followed the elder - no, the Elder, for he deserved the title more - to a pool of water. He watched as dragons dove through this pool, and returned with meat. The Elder dove through and Jet followed. At first he thrashed his legs attempting to get a purchase on the slippery rock beneath him. He watched the elder move through the water. Using there wings to fly in the lake.

Har and lil copied him. there massive wings propelling thim forwards. They quickly caught up to the Elder, remaining at his side. He didn't understand why, he just knew that he should.

Such is the ancient bond between student, and master.
