Chapter 25.2
Tamli looks at me for a moment before doing as I ask. He draws his diamond-incrusted sword and raises it blade up.
Good, now focus your mind upon it, I say.
He does as asked and Nigar lights up with a slight white light.
Good, now release the energy that you felt from Nigar, I growl.
The sword shoots a beam of white light toward the sky as it reconnects with my master's energy and aura.
Why does it glow white? Tamli asks.
Your aura provides the power it needs, I answer.
My aura? You mean the . . .
The energy that allows you to use your light balls, I finish.
Tamli nods at my comment.
Why can I control it?
Does my master just like to ask me questions all day? I growl and think of why his aura does what it does.
You are a powerful person, Tamli. A gifted creature like myself, I growl.
Tamli quiets and I gaze over at him. He now hold the sword in his lap as he sits against a rock. I stretch out and close my eyes, my mind thinking back to how I first was paired with Tamli.
The warm breeze of the ocean. A beam of light filtering down from the open skylight that warm us. My mother and father stand by my side as two humans enter our home, the Guardian chamber. The six pillars that hold up the roof scare me today for I am to be bonded with a human. Both mother and father say that I will be alright but yet their words do little to ease my nervousness. A small young boy walks up, his unusual silver hair swirling around like a tiny tornado. His calm purple eyes somehow calm me down. I hope he is the one that I will be paired with. My own daughter, a red dragon known as Ruby by the humans and flamedancer by us, sits in front of me. She is only two weeks only and yet I am only at the age of three, the age when females can start to mate and dragons learn how to better control their elements. Mine is one of the rarest elements a dragon can process, the gift of Shadow. It somewhat looks like fire except for it being dark gray. The silver haired male holds up his left hand and I reach my snout out to touch his palm. At that moment, a bond is forged between us. Our minds now think as one. We are connected, we are dragon and rider!
