Tasarin yawned widely, his breath causing a couple coins to slide from their previous place and tumble down the pile. He opened his gleaming red eyes slowly. Morning light fell in faint rays in the front of this chamber, where he slept. He preferred to always be near an exit, just in case.. and near Denna too.
Judging by the color, the sun was just beginning to rise. His sides heaved as he took a large breath and rose, stretched, then padded around his coin pile. A few rubies and sapphires dotted the treasures, and maybe a goblet or two. Nothing too fancy. But he loved it just the same.
He turned his head fully to the sun, breathing in the cold air. It made him feel more awake. But there was nothing more exhilarating than an early morning flight.
While he and Denna flew more often, it was nice to have a simple, casual flight to explore what lay around them. He still came up with new ways to challenge himself and make flying more interesting for his Rider as well.. he wanted her to be interested, all the time. Boring flights were the worst.
He approached her, making his presence known. Good morning. How did you sleep?
Tasarin and Denna were alone in his home, and he had no accommodations for a human. So he had to "borrow" from a cluster of villages by marshlands, a couple hours away. Blankets, poofy objects, a number of other things humans used to sleep on and decorate with. It was still pretty bare, but he was sure she felt comfortable living with him. Or at least he hoped so.

((I have updated Cedare's profile. I'll add a bit for her here though. I'm also thinking perhaps Cedare and Ashwise haven't had their first flight yet?))
Since the months had passed, Cedare had grown in almost every aspect. Her wings and body had grown considerably, her tail lengthened, and her claws and fangs have grown harder and sharper. Her scales, too, had changed to a magnificent green.
She now spoke the human languages fluently and constantly communicated with others around her. While she likes to learn and has learned quite a bit, she tends to get frustrated easily, off and on.
She learned to fly .. somewhat decently.. but still has not flown with her Rider, nor anyone else for that matter.
Cedare has also subconsciously strengthened her earthen spikes, and has overall grown into a strong and proud dragon.
At the moment, she was dozing peacefully.

Kharygos was pleased. His Rider could easily protect herself, if not be on the offensive, and he had only aided that strength with armor, a weapon and all his power. Her weapon had been finished many weeks ago, just as she'd requested it done. Caythas had pleased Kharygos immensely, and for that he was rewarded. The blacksmith had also included something else. A ruby, on the side of the handle. It wasn't big, but it wasn't small. The size of an eye.
The humans believed that if he breathed fire on it, it would be blessed by him. So bless he did - blowing a very small, weak spurt of flame that hardly touched the gem.
Her armor was finished as well. He had witnessed it's creation, keepinga strict eye on his workers when they measured Riona. It was efficient enough, and he had it redone twice. The final product was something strong but not too heavy, so she could move quickly if she had to.
He already had fancy pieces of armor that he could wear, but he never had to wear them. It was much easier to maneuver without it. Besides, if anything tried to get close to him he just torched them.
His attention flickered when he saw something in the distance. Just a bird.
He sighed. He had been edgier lately, worrying about many things at once. He used to be constantly flying from his home to Flynn's makeshift ones, but he did so less frequently now. Only once a week.
Right now he was perched on a rock, in between the shade of Flynn's home and the light that filtered through the clouds.. pondering things. There was so much to think about.. Riona and Flynn both wanted revenge from this dark haired girl and her mysterious dragon, Tasarin. It angered him to think they got away so quickly.
He still wanted to kill his father. While his search had been delayed by him discovering his Rider, he realized there were benefits to it.
He would not be alone if he had to fight him.
