No power on earth could have braced her enough for the shear strength and speed at which her dragon broke through and took off for the sky, forced to utilize multiple shields and magic circles just to keep her in place. She may have been strong but the elements were stronger.<br/><br/>With some satisfaction she witnessed the King's grounds in a state of panic and fear, unable to do much in the ways of an elder dragon. They finally had a taste of their own medicine. Though she had expected some fight, at least on the King's part, had expected him to send forth his dragon, yet nothing of the sort. It made her wonder what he was waiting for, or if he was truely that much of a selfish coward. The answer to her question was just chaos and screams, something she knew well under his tyranny.<br/><br/>The chains finally fell away when proof of her freedom became evident in one flight, relishing in the rush, the air, the distance. She never knew how sweet freedom tasted until that moment.<br/><br/>Her basking was short lived as her dragon snatched her up and trapped her under his claw, spouting nonsense and insults.<br/><br/>Casually brushing herself down of dust and dirt, she suddenly reappeared standing atop his snout, calm in the face of this elder dragon. Because she'd come face to face with death more times than she could count and a dragon of his magnitude did not scare her in the least. Overwhelmed her in sheer power and placed her in awe but never fear. She did not fear anymore, death was a friend she knew well.<br/><br/>"You are only a couple of hours hatched and already you are insulting, making demands and threatening the life of the one person who cared for you in your most vulnerable state, even though I was just as vulnerable. Is that truly in your best interest? You may be an elder dragon, but acting like an insolent child will get you nowhere with me. Lesson one dragon: Never demand or threaten to have respect, you must earn it. Give equally what you wish to receive, and with respect comes equality. And right now you are losing my respect. If you do not wish to be commanded and leashed, then do not give me a reason to utilise this blood bond." Her eyes turned an endless void of black, pregnant with power. "And a word of warning dragon: Never threaten my right to revenge. You may torture me, devour me, do what you like to the person who helped bring you into this world, I do not care. I died a long while ago. But if you should do so before I have had had my fill, I shall have no qualms about going through you to get my revenge, quite literally if I must." And she was not bluffing, she would take on an elder if that is what it took, knew the weaknesses of each species and ways to kill them either silently or gruesomely it did not matter to her, after all the King was on her list as well.<br/><br/>She disappeared, reappearing on the ground. "You can trust I certainly have no desire to turn you into a drooling pet that heels on command like some might, nor do I desire to hinder your desires in anyway, unless absolutely necessary." She turned to face him. "So henceforth shall we be in agreement to support one another as equals?
