Training or Fun?

Zeng Xiao Long looked out across the fields that spread for miles in either direction where a few remaining Dragon Riders were either training with their Dragon Partners or having fun with their friends.

She shrugged her shoulders and sat down in the long grass and decided to think over what had happened to her in the past few months. She had come across a weird Necromancer that just made her skin crawl and she had to admit that even being over 200 something years old that there was little that scared her and that had seriously freaked her out mentally.

She had been soo deep in thought that she wasn't prepared for when Tenseiga landed behind her and puffed at her left ear making her jump up with a screech.

"Now what did you do that for you goofy draconic excuse for a lizard?" came her indignant voice... admitidly slightly high pitched than normal.

<I was just trying to get your attention Zeng, but you seemed to be preoccupied thus I did what I could to get your attention.> the Dragon said and then adding somewhat reluctantly <I am dreadfully sorry if I scared you at all, it was not my intent I assure you.>

Zeng nodded in understanding and reached over and petted her partner down between his wings and smiled as he all but purred in delight... she had to admit that she never knew that Dragons could purr. Huh, guess you learn something new every day.

OOC: Anything that is like this: <speech> is mental speech.

OOC: Your dragon is a male? Or a female? I don't feel like going back in there and re-reading..

Keykku looked around quietly. She had gotten used to flying now, and was wearing her helmet and a full suit of armor. Finn glided softly to the ground and the blonde held on tight as they landed. It wasn't that bad... it was strange to be a Dragon Rider and afraid of heights, that was for sure. The blonde slid off her black dragon to the ground and looked around. It was nice to have a fully grown dragon rather than just a little fellow. She thought of that as she looked around at all of the different people that were hanging around here.

Finn snorted and rolled over on her side. Keykku glared at her for a moment, before smacking the giant creature. She hurt her hand more than she had hurt Finn. The dragon glared at the girl and shifted into a teenage girl. "You are extremely annoying, you know that? I hate you." Keykku grinned. She didn't hate her. Finn really needed to learn how to sleep during the night versus the day.

Keykku pulled the girl to her feet and looked around. Walking over into the woods, she snatched up her hidden bow and quiver. With them, she walked over near the targets and got into her lane. Shooting five, she realized that she was only hitting the red. That was no good. "Looks like it'll be swords today, buddy." The blonde looked at the dragon and drew her sword. Finn only laughed and turned into a teenage boy with a sword in hand.

"That isn't fair. Your form is stronger than I am!" Keykku said this while Finn smiled.

OOC: Tenseiga is Male! And I'm guessing he ain't too big yet - possibly arm length if my estimation is correct.

Zeng looked around whilst she continued to pet her partner who was now dozing on her shoulders, every now and again a small 'wuff' of air would blow through her long hair.

She kept scanning the grassy plains and spotted a Dragon and Rider land, what surprised her the most was the Dragon then shifting forms to a humanoid looking female - Huh, you learn something new every day it seems about Dragons. came the thought through her mind whilst trying to keep it from Tenseiga, she really didn't want to wake the little guy since he was really tired from his last training session with her over offensive and defensive maneuvers.

She got up slowly and walked towards the pair as they squared off with a couple of swords, maybe someone would offer to spar with her whilst Tenseiga slept.

((OOC: lol and he can be whatever size, as long as he is at least half the size of what his adult form would be. When my dragon was a baby it was about as big as a baby calf. Speaking of which, we had one! Ahem, anyways, arm length would be good, especially if it was on her shoulder. -thinks of Sango and Kirara...-))

Keykku blocked one of Finn's blows. Perhaps it was just her, but she seemed a little off today. Normally the dragon would've beat the blonde by now, but she seemed to be not even trying. That made the blonde a little angry, because she needed competition, but she continued the slow paced little training session all the same. "You seem to be a little pooped out." The blonde stopped for a moment to fix her hair; it was falling into her face. Picking up her sword again, she continued.

"It's nap time." The dragon's form yawned, but continued all the same. The blonde stopped again. Lazy dragon. Always wanting to sleep.... it wasn't like she was overworked or anything. "Well then, go take a nap. I'll be fine without you." The blonde put her hands on her hips and stared at the human Finn, who nodded drowsily and trudged over to a nearby tree, where she shifted into her normal form and fell asleep.

The blonde shook her head. What a goofy dragon. Serafina seemed like too much a serious name for that little girl. Little? Who was she kidding. That black dragon was way bigger than she was... looking over to the side, she noticed a dark haired girl approaching. The blonde smiled lightly, feeling a little carefree today. Perhaps this would lead into more training? That'd be nice, due to the lazy Finn problem. Studying the girl, she figured that the little dragon was hers. It was still a little bugger, but it would probably grow up soon. Then it would be big and frightening... unlike Finn. Finn was HUGE and unpredictable.
