"I will stay in this form for as long as she needs me to... So for the time being, this has become my semi permanent form." He hesitated for a moment then continued. "Darren did not understand the pain he would cause her. When he finds his dragon and becomes bonded, his dragon will become his first love. It is possible that he will completely forget about her in the new love of his bonded dragon..."
Cloudya closed her eyes and leaned her head against Altadon's chest. She looked weary and sad.
Altadon gently picked her up and stepped out into the medow, then sat in the warm sunshine. "Lets sit for a while." He said looking up at Meriana and Gold Dusk.

Gold Dusk nodded and followed Altadon back out into the medow.

Meriana saw how distressed cloudya was. she sat down with everyone. " i don't think Darren relized that his dragon will be his first love." Meriana said thinking about it.

"He didn't, nor did he understand when I tried to explain it." Cloudya said softly her eyes still closed.

"What do you mean?" Cloudya asked opening her eyes to look at Meriana.

" i mean, like, is there anything we can do to make him not seriously fall in love with his dragon?" Meriana already knew in her heart there was no way but she thought she'd ask.

CLoudya looked up at Altadon her eyes brightning a little. "No ... There is nothing you can do." She said looking back at Meriana

"If he returns ..." Altadon replied.

lilitricial tossed her pink pigtails back over her shoulder. Her weblike wings were tucked close to her body. She loved the way the sun felt on her back as she knelt to pick the small pink dasiy like flowers that she tuccked into her hair.

She knows of what I speak ... It was what 6 years after she bonded with me that she met you... It may be several years, if he returns at all. Altadon thought back.
He blinked his christaline blue eyes.

Cloudya closed her eyes again. She felt sick, but didn't want to leave.

Gold Dusk put his arm round Meriana.

Meriana doubted what Altadon said but didnt say anything else. " are you two hungry?" she said throwing down the blade of grass she had plucked from the ground.

Altadon shook his head. "I may be in human form, but I am still a dragon ... I prefer to hunt alone."

Cloudya looked up at the mention of food. "I supose I could eat a little something." She smiled a little.

Lilitricle looked up at the sound of footsteps. Curious she picked up her pink cloak and tossed it round her shoulders to hide her wings. She peered out from behind a tree in time to see a travler stareing at a map.

Darren thought her heard the ruffling of fabric. he looked up from his map and put it away. he walked around but his hand was on his sword, ready for anything.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meriana stood up. " ok..well..you want to come back to my house and eat something? i'm sure we have something around."

Altadon helped Cloudya to her feet and then folowed Meriana and Gold Dusk toward the house.

Lilitricial watched him. She quickly ducked behind a tree as he glanced in her direction.
