KAZUHIDE

Fayuro beats his black wings hard, as our altitude decreases, we pick up speed and fast approach the Dragon Caves. Through the rushing wind beating on my eyes I can make out Swiftant along with one of the other Dragon Army members: Suzette.

Surprise fills me. What is Suzette doing here? This will affect my ability to talk to him in secret. She must be removed. If my plans to make Swiftant defect are discovered before events can be set into motion this shall cause a problem for my old Master.

Nevertheless, I continue to descend up the caves. As we approach the ground, I fasten Swiftant's sakkat with strings to my belt.

Fayuro lands hard, the ground cracks and breaks under the power of his mighty claws. I softly rub Fayuro's thick scales.

"Good job my friend" I speak in a soft whisper.

I stand up from Fayuro's saddle, as some thoughts rush about in my head like a baby dragon playing with his mother.

I doubt Swiftant knows who I am. We have only had acquaintance once before, it was a long time ago, soon after I first arrived here. Shakura had called a meeting of all Army officials and we both were present. My master always had me watching Swiftant. I hadn't known why, he never seemed anything great to me. Dragon's Kin never sat well with me. Eveything about their righteous indignation I despised. They felt they were the rightful rulers of this land, and they hated and destroyed all who opposed them. Like children crushing ants because they could, and wanted to show off their power over the weak and helpless, wanting to feel as though they had to prove some sort of point to all the rest. It overwhelmed me so that I could not bear it.

I focused my thoughts, and forced myself to consider the matter at hand.

Suzette as here, along side Swiftant. They appeared to be having a very intense moment.

But they had always appeared to be enemies of some sort. Why were they here? Why were they together?

I slid off the side of Fayuro, and walked slowly over to the Cave. The sakkat swayed back and forth at my waist. "Swiftant!" I called out. "I need a word with you!"
