People claimed that the land around them use to be filled with life, towers use to stand touching the clouds like they were nothing. But that all changed, war broke out amongst the great leaders of the world. An like all wars it ended with millioms of lives suffering, buildings came crashing down and soon great cities were nothing but empty husks. But like all things mother earth recovered and grew, forests started to regrow and reclaim the land. Animals that had been on the brink of extinction came back and the few survivors of man kind started to rebuild.<br/><br/>Mannkind returned to the ways of old, rebuilding their cities into kingdoms. Leaders being chosen and named the kings and queens of this new world. But like any new civilization there were growing pains, each kingdom ran different then then other and others started to demand more just because they jad a bigger army or more people. When it looked like another world war was about to happen something changed it all.<br/><br/>Dragons appeared from the skies, able to communicate with all the tribes. They made a deal with each king and queen of the land, the dragons would choose worthy people to be their riders. These riders would be taken away and trained in the ways of the dragoms and would be used to settle arguments and battles without the heavy cost of innocent lives.<br/><br/>An so the dragon riders came to be, for the last thousand years the lands had finally found some peace. Every now and then a war would break out of a ruler would get to big and need to be put back into ther place. The dragon riders had made life a breeze for all around them.<br/><br/>Every ten years the dragon riders would come from their castle hidden in the deep south to hold a grand tournament in one of the kingdoms, all challangers were welcome to try. They would only pick five warriors, it didn't matter their size, their age or their gender. There was only one rule, if a dragon chose you, you had to go. It didn't matter who or what you were. If they wanted someone that person would join their ranks.<br/><br/>They had come to her kingdom when she had been placed in the royal guard, she had been given the task to protect her best friend and the future queen. They had grown up together, she had trained long and hard to be beside the future queen, when the tournment came to the kingdom she had refused to join the tournament even though the king did she would be the winner and bring honor to the kingdom as one of the best riders the world had ever seen.  She still refused, but what happened next surprised her. Even though she refused to fight she was chosen, the dragon had picked her put of the crowd and told the king that it wanted her. She left the kingdom that day, she was om sixteen at the time. She didn't even get a chance to say good bye to her best friend, she never got to talk to her again. Communication with the outside world was cut off during training, nothing to distract them from their task.<br/><br/>That had been nearly ten years ago, she had finally finished her training and had finally connected with a dragon of her own. She was finally able to explore the world once again, at least she thought she would get the chance. There had been rumors of a kingdom becoming out of hand, it was going to be her first task to check out and stop the destructive ruler.<br/><br/>Dressed in her heavy black dragon armor Jasper pulled her long white hair back into a tight pony tail, she was a tall woman stand six and half feet tall, short white horns growing from her head curling up like a bull horns. She had a muscular frame, looking bigger and stronger then most of the male riders. Her bright amber eyes looking over the leather saddle strapped to her dark gray dragon, a large broad sword strapped to ger back and a few small knuves strapped to her hips. Soon jumping up into her saddle she looked around, were they sending her bygerself or would she have a second to accompy her.
