Birds twittered as they flew over a small meadow. Eying the ground below for juicy worms they would dive down ever so often to catch an unlucky one. As they went about gobbling down their breakfast they became agitated, when from the tree line nearby, a sleek doe stepped out from among the bushes. The doe looked right and then left before gracefully walking over to the bubbling stream that made its way through the lush green meadow. Her nose twitched as she followed the smell of water while her ears rotated and her eyes darted around the clearing, searching for any signs of threat. Finding none she relaxed somewhat and, upon reaching the stream, she took one last look around before lowering down her head. …show more content…
Sam turned her eyes on to the large blue dragon that flew alongside her, only to find the dragon's yellow eyes pleading with her not to go ahead with the pan. "They need our help Destiny," Sam thought in reply, as she averted her own eyes, not able to hold the dragons gaze.

I don’t think there’s much we can do to help the villagers out,” Destiny’s thoughts rushed though Sam’s mind as she tried to make her rider see some sense. “There’s still hope,” Sam replied determinedly. There had been no one there to help her village out in its time of need; she would not let it be the same case for this one. “We have to do something!” She added, her eyes turning back to where the smoke was coming from. They were getting closer. “Sam, please,” Destiny pleaded.
“Enough, we are going to help,” Sam replied firmly, closing the matter. Although dragons and riders worked as one, it was the rider who had the ultimate say. The bond a dragon has with a rider was different from that, which a rider has with his dragon.
