A bright light overflows the meadow, causing the meadow to get still. When the light dies down, two people stand in the center, a regal air about them. One was an older man dressed in purple, the other a woman dressed in white. "Speak your name and why you are here." the man demanded, an air of authority to his voice.

Ariel flinched and she looked down respectfully. "M-my name is Ariel. I . . . I wish to h-help the Dragoons . . ."

The young woman steps forward and places a hand on the girls shoulder. "Well come young Ariel, if it would be no problem, please explain why you wish to help us." The older gentleman stands with his arms crossed, awaiting the young girls story. "Yes, please explain your reasoning to us," he says, taking a few steps forward, close enough to the girl, she could most likely see the age and wisdom in his eyes.

Ariel looked up at the two from underneath her bangs and then quickly averted them in a sign of respect, though she also didn't want them to see the grief in her eyes. She didn't want them to think she was weak. "My . . . my family was killed . . . in the riots. I . . . this chaos isn't helping anyone. I . . . I heard stories, about how the Dragoons kept the peace before the humans revolted," she wrung her hands together. "I . . . I want this conflict to stop. I don't want anyone else to get hurt . . ."

The young woman turns to the older man, "It's odd that our legends are still remembered," she says, crossing her arms in thought. The older man nods and turns to the girl. "Ariel, right?" he asks, walking closer to her and offers his hand. "My name is Halmar, and this woman beside me is Cadenza. We are the dragoon's of old, and we are glad that you have come to offer your help to us." The woman, Cadenza, nods slightly in agreement with the older man. "Have you thought of which Dragoon you wish to train with?" she asks.

Ariel blinked and hesitantly took Halmar's hand, nodding at Cadenza and then looking at Halmar, albeit a bit sheepishly. "You, actually. You're the dragoon of Lightning, correct? I . . . I guess the thought of learning to harness something as . . . . almost wild and . . . chaotic as a storm appealed to me," she said.

Halmar's eyes widen in surprise at the girls words. "Really? I figured you would want to train with Cadenza or even Kressara," he replies, shaking the girls hand when she took his. "Well I would be more than happy to train you, since you and I have similar histories." Turning back to Cadenza, he says, "You should go and let Saira know we have another trainee." Cadenza nods, and in a flash of light, she vanished. Turning back to the girl, he pulls out a small necklace. "This is your dragoon spirit, it will be what ties use together," he explains, holding it out for the young girl. "Please take care not to lose it."

Ariel blinked at the necklace, her eyes wide with wonder. She nodded her head reverantly and took the necklace, slipping it over her head. "I won't lose it or let it get damaged, I swear,"

Halmar nods at the young girl, "See that you don't, those can't be remade easily," he says, taking a look around the meadow. "Now I believe it is time that you meet Saira, Cadenza's daughter. She might be able to ask your questions if you have any," he says, holding a hand out to Saira. "We will have to teleport there."

Ariel nodded at Halmar and hesitantly took his hand, bracing herself for the teleportation.

Halmar nods slightly, and closes his eyes, a purple light enveloping them. When the light died down they were gone, on their way to Saira's village.
((WHOOSH))
