The Dragon Children Chapter VIII: Saiyune's Pact

Saiyune and Kor arrived in the Rathlian Lands. When they approached the castle, they were stopped by a grotesque-like creature with bat wings.
"Kor, who is this?" the creature snarled.
"Her name is Saiyune. She wishes to learn true power." Kor answered.
The creature nodded and let them pass.
Stephen was there to greet them. "So child, why have you come?" he asked.
"I believe that if others fear me, I will be able to stand against them. Kor told me you would train me in this way." Saiyune answered.
Stephan inspected Saiyune's finger. "You will need to make a new pact. Come, I have the perfect dragon for you."
He led her to a cave. There was a dragon whose eyes glowed brightly. "This is Drak. If you bond with her, she shall guide you down your new path.
Saiyune looked down at her finger. An image came to her mind. She was seven years old. She entered a cave and wasled by the keeper. She closed her eyes and heard a gentle voice call to her. She walked enchantedly to a white dragon whose eyes were like diamonds.
"Hello child, my name is Nefron. I would like to be your friend." said the dragon.
Saiyune was astonished. No one had ever wanted to be her friend before. She hodded and the new pact was made. She walked out with her new dragon.
"What is this?" her mother thundered.
"He is Nefron, my new friend." Saiyune said nervously.
Her father slapped her down. "This is unacceptable!" he said angrily.
Nefron flapped his wings, creating a fierce wind and knocking her parents down.
Yes, Nefron was a goood friend. But he could offer little solace for Saiyune. If she had power though, she wouldn't need love. She showed a finger to Drak. Stephan priced her finger and drove a torn into Drak's talon.
"Your turn, child." Stephan said.
Saiyune nodded and placed her finger into the wound. The pact was made.
