Azrial didnâ€™t notice the first reach for him Ray gave shyly, instead he kept talking about why he had acted and said what he had. He explained the scars and paused briefly to hear the question of if Ray had made a scar on him. He chuckled softly and replied â€œ Yes, you did indeed leave a scar on me.â€ He smiled and pointed to the scar on his own abbs that reflected a pale undertone of rose pink while a dazzling rainbow glittered on top of it. The colors danced in the carved indentation of the scar claiming Azrialâ€™s body as its host. â€œYour magic and soul burned its way into me, like mine did to you.â€ He thought for a moment â€œI can.. take it awaâ€¦â€ he stopped seeing Ray get into the water. A kind grin filled his features as the boy came closer to him. Closer and closerâ€¦ Azrialâ€™s tired heart began beating faster. â€œI seeâ€¦â€ their bodies were so close that nothing could get between them. This is what Azrial had been needing.<br/><br/>â€œIf we were true mates, we would never be without each other. Even if we were miles away we would never leave one another. We would see through each others eyes, hear through each others ears, feel one anotherâ€™s thoughts, and experience the same emotions as each other if that is what we wished. A mated pair of dragons is strong, rare but strong because not many dragons in these days last long enough to find their mate and to be happy and willing to make the bond â€˜trueâ€™. It is common to see pairs with scars but not common to see true scars.. those are not on the torso but instead â€¦â€ he placed his hand on Rayâ€™s chest just over his heart. â€œThey are placed hereâ€¦â€  Azrial smiled more and picking Ray up cradling him as he crawled his way out of the water. He kinda paused and sat Ray down â€œSorry, I will try not to carry you as much anymoreâ€¦â€ he looked to Ray and smiled happily rubbing the bridge of his nose, his eye was killing him but he would never admit that at this time. He wou;ld wait till Ray fell asleep before he would go alone and deal with the problem that had been caused to his sight.
