Jared blinked. There were riders before them? He was flabbergasted. He had no idea. It made sense now that he thought about it. He knew that there had always been dragons and so it stood to reason that there had always been dragon riders. But the history of violence, death, and corruption did not leave a sweet taste in his mouth. He worried that they could keep the past for repeating itself.<br/><br/>The rest of the group seemed to be getting up and leaving the room. He remembered that the Lore master mentioned maps. He approached the table where they were laid out. In caves? Interesting. He chuckled. The comment he heard about the bookshelves suddenly made sense. He wasn't much of reader before now. He may have to learn to be one. He'd do whatever it takes to a dragon rider and a knight.<br/><br/>He relaxed in his chair and wondered what else lay in store for them.
