It had been quite some time since Shugo’s parents had past. The tears had dried, but the pain had remained. The pain turned into focus and that focus turned into drive. Shugo knew he had to change. He needed to become stronger and fighting for his instincts alone was not going to work. Valin had offered to train him, but there was something he lacked. It was not armaments, nor was it height it was a mount. Valin was a wyvern rider and Shugo himself wanted to follow in his path. However Shugo needed a flying mount to do so, and thus why the duo left into the mountains of Bern.
Wyverns like their cousins the dragons loved mountains. It did not take long for the duo to find what they were looking for. Wyverns flew through the sky all around them as they grew closer to the peak of the mountain. Blue ones, black ones, and there were even some pink ones. It surprised the young boy how much different coloration there were. Still however he needed to chooses one and catch it, and catching a wyvern was no easy feat.
“I think that gold one is good”, spoke Shugo as a wyvern flew by. “Oh, but that black one looks cool too. Maybe a red one, or maybe that blue one”, spoke Shugo. The young boy could not make up his mind.

Valin felt a mix and pride and sorrow coming back to these mountains. The memories of Valins master came flooding back like a broken dam that was holding back tears. Biting his lip Valin looked from Albueses back at his young charge. "You don't choose your Drake. He or she will choose you." Albues roared in approval which drew the attention of the other wyvern in the area. Valin drew his lance quitly said to the boy. "Draw you weapon Shugo. They are still wild and you are prey to them." Just as Valin finished A large red wyvern landed in front of the group giving a low growl. Albues respond with a wet growl. The red wyvern backed up then looked at Shugo, It lunged at the boy teeth and claw bared. Albues tackled the beast mid air pining it to the ground. It still tried to stuggle at bite the Black wyven but Valin smashed his lance but into the red drakes face, fire burned in the mans eyes. Valin then pulled the reins back and Albues let the wyven go. the drake quickly took fling and Valin took a sigh of relief. "Are you alright Shugo?" Valin said with the same face he had when he saved the boy from a stray arrow the day they met.

“I am fine”, spoke Shugo as he stared at the flying wyverns. He had made it his personal mission not to fear the beasts. If he was going to ride one he needed to have a strong will. Shugo walked away from Valin a bit and stared into the sky. He looked around for the right wyvern. The one he wanted to ride. From the many flying around Shugo noticed one that stood out from amongst the others. It was white and seemed to be a little bit bigger than the other Wyverns. The boy knew at that moment that that was the one he wanted. Shugo picked up a rock from the ground and tossed it at the beast. The stone missed, but the attempt caught the wyverns attention. With a great roar it charged in towards the boy baring its fangs and its claws.

Venessa and Sorrow were flying high in the sky of Bern. She loved the feeling of being free in the air. Letting her Wyvern do a dive, it started to kick Venessa's adrenalin as the wings of Sorrow folded in and soar downwards. Like a black shadow falling from the sky, her mount opened her wings and glided through different mountains. But one was a bit different. All the Wyvern's were flying around as if trying to get away from somebody or something. Looking closer, she would see a younger boy with a suit of armour and a lance and a guy on a Jet black Wyvern, another Wyvern Rider. Venessa smiled a bit since she was getting tired of being the only Wyvern Rider flying in the skies and haven't seen another rider in a long time. Placing her helmet's visior down, she would guide Sorrow towards the two.
A few of the wild Wyvern's saw Venessa coming in close and flew further away from the group with her landing now. Watching at what was going on, it finally dawned on her that the young warrior was getting his Wyvern for the first time. Smiling underneath her helmet, she would remember her first time getting Sorrow. Her Iron lance was still in it's Sheath on her back as the sight was of the boy was a good one since the Wyvern and the new rider had now choosen each other. 'Now let the bound begin.'

Valin and Albues Jumped in front of the boy and Roared at the white Wyvern as one. The white Drake stopped five feet away from the Albues and rider both party's glaring each other down. "Were here to make friends son. Now Play nice." The knight then saw the other rider and his mouth dropped. Ugering Albues forward Valin met the figure lance in hand. "Who are you and why didn't help the boy." Valin said pointing his lance at the rider and making sure he was a barrier between them and the boy. "I am Valin a freelancer and I better like your answer."

As Valin left Shugo was left alone with the wyvern. The beast stared at him for a moment and the boy back at it. Shugo raised his shield in defense. It was almost as if that action signaled for the beast to attack. The wyvern lounged forward at Shugo. The young knight moved as quick as he could to move out the way. In truth Shugo had no idea what to do. So instead he followed his instincts. The boy dropped his shield and lance and jumped onto the beast back. He grabbed hold of its white scales as it struggled to know him free.

Smiling underneath her helmet, she would play a bit. Taking the helmet off fully, her blonde hair shinned as her ruby red eyes stared at him answering to his questions. " Me, I'm Venessa Blackthorn, Daughter of General Blackthorn of Etruria and by the looks of it from the sky, you have him under your wing. No? For if that is the case that you are his mentor then he falls under Your Responseability. Not mine for I'm here to watch a new rider like right now, bound with his Wyvern. Kid! Kick it's sides and make it fly off the mountain! You need to make the bound with him!" Her eyes was now watching Shugo as he was now wrestling the wyvern. A beautiful white scales, Venessa would gently run her hand across the black scales of her mount as the tips would glow purple underneath the light from the sky. This Wyvern Rider didn't lay a hand on her lance, just had her helmet tucked underneath her arm as she waited to see what Valin was going to do.
Still smiling, she would look at the lance and then back at Valin. "And if you don't mind lowering that lance, I'm not here to strike you two down. If I did, I would have done it by now and not sit here waiting to see a new Wyvern Rider take to the skies. We as rider's are limited now a days. It's good to see other riders, even if it we are from different countries. Sorrow, lets get ready girl...it's almost time for him to spread his wings." Sorrow stood up slowly on her only two legs as Venessa waited.

Kick it, that was all shugo heard as he struggled with the Wyvern. Obediently he followed the advice and like the voice said the wyvern was off. “Grab my spear”, shouted Shugo as the wyvern took a dive. The boy held on tight as the wind pushed his hair back. The young boy’s heart raced as the wyvern pulled up.
“What do I do now”, shouted Shugo as the wyvern flew in figure eights and swirled through the air.

When the womans helmet come off Valin saw nether her beuty nor gender, Just her damnable red eyes. As the woman spoke her condescending words Valins fear and anger grew will every single syllable. It took everything in him not to strike, her pin her down, and cut the cursed eyes from the woman's head. When she went to move Valin infront of her, bot mount and rider viably infuriated. "Let me make something perfectly clear Lady Blackthorn, that boy is my son MY SON and i will let you anywhere near him with those CURSED RED EYES! My one has taken enough from him as it is. Now I'll give you this one chance to make peace with your evils, and make no mistake one with two red eyes must have destroy countless lives to earn those marks, before I remove you from this world and free you poor wyvenn from you taint. I will wait your attack Milady." Valin leveled his lance into a defensive postion and Albues gave a Long wet growl like a big cats. OC www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFQYaoiIFh8 My friend thought this fitting the mood So ya. Now you know why it would be fun to have Venessa to meet Valin. Don't you love it when you inner demons effect others.

Letting out a simple sigh, she would jump off her mount. Valin would see as she would take off her chest plate letting it fall to the groud. Lifting her arms up, she would close her eyes since it would have seemed that her natural eye color offended him. Sorrow tried to move infront of her, but her hand would stop the Wyvern from doing such. Sorrow looked at the other Wyvern and let out a screech so loud that made the wild Wyvern's fly away from the mountain top. With her eyes still closed, Venessa would simply say to him. "I have no demons nor have I destroyed lives to be born with such color. If you feel you must take me from the face of this realm, then I will not stop you from doing such. I am sorry if I offended you anyway Sir Valin. May your lords above forgive you from the crimes that you have committed and the death you brought on fair winds."
With that said, she would go to her knees and away for what Valin was to do next as Shugo tried to figure on his own what he was going to do with a Wild Wyvern. Since Valin wasn't going to allow her to help him, Shugo was in trouble without aid from a teacher and this Valin wasn't helong matters at the moment, only making them worse. Sorrow would stand behind her watching the two infront of her. Venessa was willing to fall before the lance of the Bern Rider as she would begin to sing to herself as Valin would hear just the words just slightly as if it was a whisper next to him. "Fly high above the rolling waves, fly along with the wind for it will take you far. Rider, take pride to whom you fly with. Pride will take you far with such windsFor when the day you are to fall, just remember you flew with the honor that you tried your hardest in a world that is not your own." Smiling for she had remembered that from the Wyvern Knight that taught her how to fly a Wyvern. Sorrow nudged Venessa's back after hearing her sing.

With no response Shugo was left on his own. The young knight had no idea how to control a wyvern. He immediately thought back to what Valin did when he was riding his own, but this wyvern did not have any rains. Shugo eventually decided to go back to his first step. He kicked the side of the wyvern and sent it spiraling into the air. “Valin, help” shouted Shugo as the Wyvern cut through the air. Shugo heart was racing as he held onto the wyvern for dear life. If he slipped or let go he would surely fall to his death. There was however a thrill with riding a wyvern bareback. The danger of falling off and the idea that you are on the back of such a fearsome creature. Shugo pressed tightly onto the left side of the wyvern. The beast immediately turned to the left too shugo great surprise. “What”, spoke Shugo as he realized that the wyvern had moved according to his pressure? He then pressed to the right and the wyvern turned to the right. He then pressed to the left again, but this time the beast had enough of him. Instead of turning it began to spiral in the air attempting to throw the young rider off his back.

Valin screamed in frustration. He had been rash and let his own self loathing guide his actions, and he knew it. As the woman sang Valin throw his Lance harmlessly at her feet, he then drew his axreaver and did the same with it. Quietly Valin said to his mount as he jumped of it. "Albues protect Shugo. No eating." The knight fell to one knee and stared into the ground as Albues flew beside Shugo's shadow. In a sorrowful but steady voice the knight said. "I beg you forgiveness Lady Blackthorn but you must understand what Shugoshi means to me. As for this eye I have only one which is a mark of ill oman, you both of yours are a lovely red and bestode upon you from above by birth. I have killed no innocent with my hand but brought ill fates with my curse by being near. My master, the villagers of Stonewall, Shugos real parents all dead because of this eye and its curse." Looking over his shoulder and watching Shugo the knight began to sing his own song. One soundless midday. The wind was fresh and clean. And the flower petals. swayed as if they were asleep. This serene feeling... He then jumped backwards over the edge and fell.

With lance and axreaver stabbing the ground before her, she didn't move. It wasn't til she heard the man apologize towards her when she finally opened her eyes. She slowly began to stand up, grabbing her chest plate and was strapping it back on as he talked about his one red eye. Nodding her head a bit, she would listen to him. But before she could forgive him, Valin decided to start singing his own song and jumped off the edge. With eyes wide open, she would let out a loud whistle sound as she dove after him. With her hands reaching out towards him, Sorrow quickly ran towards the cliff and lunged down after her rider. The black wyvern slid underneath Venessa. Grabbing unto the saddle, she quickly strapped herself into it as Sorrow raced towards Valin in the attempt to save him, even though he threatend the rider.
Once strapped in, she would reach out to grab his arm or leg. If it was meant for her to grab unto him, she would use one hand to hold onto him and the other hand to pull up on the reigns so that Sorrow would even out and fly away from the ground. Pulling him up onto the saddle behind her, he would witness at how strong she really was compared to other female riders. If not though, well...We'll have to see what Valin has up his slevee of tricks.

From the corner of the young knight’s eye he saw Valin fall off the cliff. “Valin”, shouted Shugo as he struggled with the beast. Anger entered Shugo heart and he hands squeezed the sides of the wyverns body. “Move your scaly white hide”, shouted Shugo as he seemed to get the wyvern under control. The boy had imposed his will on the beast out of necessity.
Shugo sent the wyvern into a full on dive. He wanted to catch up to Valin before he hit the ground. He could not bear the idea of losing someone else close to him. He had already lost his parents and he did not want to loss Valin as well. To Shugo great surprise however Vanessa had beat him there first. In truth he did not even realize that here was another rider there at first. He was so focus that he did not notice Vanessa voice when she told him to kick it earlier.
“Valin”, spoke Shugo as his eyes were filled with tears. He had no idea what happen, but he had nearly lost Valin. The idea was enough to make the young boy cry.

Tell me what's the name people give it? Valin hurdled toward the ground. Tell me a story He spread his arms wide as if spreading wings. Thats locked away Valin saw Lady Blackthorn trying to save him and heard Shugo's cry. In white sands of the moon. A strem of tears trailed behind him catching light in a all most beautifully tragic way. Let me hear it Gently Albues roared and took its wings in speeding down like a gods judgement. As light shining down. The black drake enveloped the knight and pulled up sharply, as the Jet black wyvern gained altitude it made a sudden spin and flung Valin upwards, the reins in his hands. As the reins became taught Albues leaved out and Valin pulled himself on to the saddle. Taking command the knight brought Albues beside Shugo and his mount. "What will it take to call me father?" Valin said with same cheerful front he puts on when dealing with the boy.
