Thread: The Emporer and the Gaurdian (Shyone x Moon Struck Fox)

Ming Yue grappled with Ling before she was pulled back to Ryou, wrapping her arms tightly around the other, spreading thick, leathery Wings of white and wrapping them tightly around the Little Prince, protecting him from any spits of flame or ice that might come their way. Ming Yue hissed at the Royal Guards who got too close, protecting Ryou even from his own men if she had to. things where going to fast for her to be sure of what was happening, and she would protect her Prince from anything, and anyone. many of the Dragons who where not getting involved, watched with critical eyes as Ryou's men defended him, and they nodded, pleased that the Little Prince could instill such Loyalty into his men. they where pleased that Ming Yue would go to such a special young man. had the person been anyone but the Little Prince, they would have simply refused Ming Yue from participating in the Choosing, but they had all known, that she would be best for the Little Prince, even if they didn't know why. instincts ran strong with dragons, and they knew that Ming Yue would be the only Dragon right for Ryou. Ming Yue only relaxed as he nuzzled her, and she smiled, nuzzling him back as she let her wings sink back into nonexistence as she looked at Ling, who was burning red with shame, and rage that the Little Prince would damage his reputation like this. do not forget your place, Ling. Ming Yue suddenly snapped, her head high, looking every bit of Royalty that she now was. even before i was Chosen, i outranked you. Ming Yue warned, making Ling snarl, and wince as Ming Yue snarled right back. you will know your place! i outrank you Two Times over now Ling, and i know how you are. if you cause troubles for me, i will have you Culled. the entire place went silent. as the Speakers Daughter, and the Chosen of the Future King... Ming Yue really could have Ling punished if she stepped out of line. and though Culling was the most severe of punishments... Ming Yue wasn't above using her new rank to make sure that Ling didn't cause any more problems. finally, the Dragon bowed her head. yes... My Lady... Ling muttered, every word sounding as if it burned her tongue and lips, but she had submitting to Ming Yue, and that was what was important. Ming Yue stared at her for a long moment before turning to Ryou, smiling as she stroked his hair. we will go on our Bonding flight now. she ordered sternly, glancing around them as a Dragon Saddle was brought. it was plain, and simple, it had been used hundreds of times by other dragons with their Chosen for their First Flight. Ryou would have one made for Ming Yue later, but the First Flight was important, and could not wait for a form fitted Saddle. they took weeks to make a form fitted saddle, sometimes months for the more expensive, detailed ones. the First Flight cemented the Dragons love for it's Chosen. she took Ryou outside, spread into her massive Dragon form, and laid out flat as a massive ladder was brought. though it was more like stairs on wheels with a flat platform on top so that Ryou could place the saddle, younger dragons underneath strapped it tightly into place, and Ryou settled onto the soft leather seat that would keep him on her back, leg straps would even keep him from falling out if she flied upside down, as some Dragons did. she smiled as he settled into place, unleashed a trumpet of Joy, and leaped into the air, the wind rushing over them both as she cleared the ground, and the castle, in three, hard wing strokes. another three, and the world was far away as she cleared the clouds, and looked back at him, her tail swinging through the air like a Rudder, checking on him as her mind reached out to his, her soul touching his, and the Bond was made. some Dragons went back down right away, others, like Ming Yue, hovered, and glided until her Chosen decided HE wanted to go down.
