The three elves looked at each other, surprised. Dragons? Winged wolves? This sounded interesting. Dune was the first to speak.
"Nimble has been looking for a wolf for a long time now, so that would be perfect for her. But what do you mean about bonding dragons? Would they be like yours?"
Jesca glanced at her cousin, before replying. "Well, our dragons require a telepathic life bond with another being when they hatch or they usually don't survive. Most prefer a human or elf. On extremely rare occasions, they may bond another dragon; but that is much more common in other dragon species. For the most part they would look like ours, but they come in other colors, which originally were ranked: Gold, bronze, brown, blue, and green. The golds and greens were female, and the others were male. Recently, though, there has been a lot of genetic manipulation, and creation of different color varieties. The clutch waiting right now has more variety. Melyna has one of the variations; yes, Masaeth is blue, but she's female, therefore, a variation."
"And you are allowed to bring your wolves with you," Melyna added, after a moment. Her dragon had picked a stray thought from one of the elves, about having to leave the wolves behind. "We can carry all of you, if you want to come, that is." Both humans waited expectantly.
After a moment or two of swift sending, the three elves looked back at the humans. This time it was Nimble who spoke.
"We'd love to come. These two can try to bond dragons; I would like to see these wolves, if that's alright." She looked a bit uneasy at her bold statement, but refused to back down.
"That's perfectly fine. Now, let's see how those wolves of yours take to flying." They all walked over to the green and blue dragons, and after a few moments of confusion, got everyone situated and ready to fly. They took off, and, after quickly warning the elves about the cold, they went Between, and were soon flying over Falas Island.
They landed, and Jesca took Dune and Fernfrost to sign up for the clutch, while Melyna took Nimble to the only place she knew still had winged wolves who hadn't found "bonds" yet, or at least, they would know where some wolves may be found : Taheyr Roahai. On the way, she explained that the winged wolves were a bit different than the wolves the elf was used to. They were more intelligent, and talked a lot. Or, at least, some did.
They landed in the valley at Taheyr Roahai, and Nimble got her first look at the winged wolves; she was thrilled. They were beautiful; similar to the wolves back at her holt, but with wings and the ability to fly. She stood for a moment, looking around, before a young wolf approached her.
They sat and talked together for awhile, Melyna coming over to join them. After a bit, Nimble and Melyna went back to the dragon and headed to Remet Village, where they were told a few wolves were looking for friends.
When they arrived, they talked with a few villagers and were directed to the home of some farmers. There, they met a young female wolf named Elnevi Tiian, a pretty wolf in shades of gold. She seemed to like Nimble and was interested in accompanying her.
