Free A Dragon's Bond by S.B. Johnson Page B

his desk. Myrdinn reached for the hatchling and gently lifted it into his hands. He put his face right up close to it and looked it over for a moment. He gently placed the dragon back in Davin's care. Lugos' eyes were locked on the opal dragon. He shook his head as in disbelief.
    Myrdinn stood up straight and looked around the class at the other dragons in the room. "Derrick, Chloe and Davin. Please follow me to my study." He paused for a brief moment catching a glimpse of Davin's eyes.
    Myrdinn turned and walked out of the room. The three he had called began to grab for their boxes and stand. Professor Wilson spoke up. "Leave the boxes. You will no longer need them." They did as instructed and simply carried their dragons from the room. Lugos was the last to exit, closing the door behind him.
    The three followed Myrdinn down the halls, with Lugos bringing up the rear of the group. As they walked they were examined by the other bonders roaming throughout the keep. Their were oohs and awes, especially at the sight of the opal dragon.
    In a short while they found themselves entering though a grand doorway. It was large and the hand carvings in the framework of the door were amazing. The door frame was a very detailed dragon, gracefully encasing the doorway. There were emeralds set into the carving for its eyes. Myrdinn pushed the door open and they went inside. The interior of the room was just as grand as it's entrance. There were large pillars running from the floor to the rather high ceilings. Off in the corner slept a large brown. Levitás was peacefully asleep in the corner. His eyes slowly opened as he began to stir from his sleep. The floors were covered with solid marble tiles that were polished to a mirror like finish.
    Myrdinn motioned everyone to gather around at a large rectangular table. They all sat down and placed their dragons on the table in front of them. He and Lugos slowly scanned the table. Myrdinn placed a hand on his chin. "It seems this year we have three special dragons in our midst. It is not often that we see the black or gold dragons. I am still not sure what to make of Davin's dragon yet." He turned his attention to a large library of books behind him. "Something of legend may have been revealed here today. I know I have read of it somewhere." He turned back to the three bonders. "Chloe and Derrick, you have both received very rare dragons. The last black we saw was when Aiden's was born. And Chloe you have received a beautiful gold. I congratulate you both. Take care of your new companions and be on your way for now. He looked over to Davin. "Ah, and our very special bonder has shown us something else of interest indeed. An opalescent dragon and bonder, both with bright blue eyes."
    Davin looked up to Myrdinn. "Is there something wrong with my dragon? Is there something wrong with me?"
    " Something wrong no. But clearly there is something very different. I knew from the start you were different Davin. Born in Bond, but never knew why. Once again it is clear there is something special about you and your dragon."
    Lugos sat in pure silence and only stared at Davin and his dragon. He was only drawn from his stare when Myrdinn called to him from across the table. "Lugos. Would you mind escorting Chloe and Derrick back to their chambers? I would like to have some time alone with Davin."
    Lugos stood and gave him a slight nod. "Absolutely sir." He motioned for Chloe and Derrick to follow as he walked back out the massive door from which they entered. Chloe looked back over her shoulder towards Davin. He did not seem excited or upset, but more curious than anything. While all of the other bonders were filled with excitement he only exhibited an inquisitive reaction to his dragon. She turned back and followed Lugos with Derrick.
    As the door shut, Myrdinn turned his attention back to Davin. He placed his hand on the boys chin and turned his head, pulling Davin's eyes to his own. "Where did I see this
