A Dragon's Bond Read Free Page A

there are the Blues. They are a medium sized dragon. The same as the Reds. They are able to breath under water as I stated before. Instead of breathing fire, they can spray a very cold gas. This gas will freeze just about anything it comes in contact with. Their bonders are granted with the ability to control water. The bonder is able to change water to ice and ice to water. Now we get to the three more rare dragons. One is considered to be very lucky to be bonded with one of these. First there is the Golds. They are small dragons, but very fast. They shoot compressed balls of energy that explode on impact. The Gold's bonder can also construct this energy and throw it at will. Next are the Blacks. They are small like the Golds. Blacks are also fire breathers but are the one dragon that is considered completely flightless. They are sometimes referred to as shadow dragons because of their ability to camouflage themselves to the point of almost being undetectable and in the night you would not be able to see them at all if they were concealed in the shadows. This cloaking ability is what is passed to their bonders. Finally there are the Browns. A medium sized dragon like the Blues and Reds. The Browns also breath fire. They have the strange ability to control gravity. Although they have no wings they are still able to fly like the winged dragons. The bonder of a Brown can also control gravity. They are able to levitate themselves as well as other objects."
    Kimball looked in amazement. "This is all quite interesting but where do you keep them all?"
    Lugos grinned. "The Keep is actually quite large. It has several levels, both upper and lower. The lower levels are where the dragons are kept. Each of the bonder's quarters has a chamber that leads to their dragon's den or stable as they are referred to. Other than the den keeper the bonder is the only one with access to their dragon's den."
    From outside the coach, Lugos and Kimball heard a loud voice call out. "Sir, we are approaching the Keep. We will be landing momentarily."
    Kimball looked back out the window. Over the horizon he could see an enormous structure beginning to take form in the distance. As they got closer the structure became more clear. It was magnificent. The first thing that caught his eye was the large clock tower that stood tall in the center of the Keep. It towered in comparison to the rest. The keep was setting on the side of a large hill above a wide stretched lake. The water was crystal clear and so calm it reflected the sky and a mirror image of the Keep. The sun was beginning to rise and the black of the night sky was now slowly being engulfed in an red orange hue. The outer wall was menacing and was clearly meant to keep out intruders. On the wall there were several red dragons pacing back and forth along side their bonders. They looked up to the coach as it approached the Keep. Past the outer wall was the Keep Town. It was filled with the hustle and bustle of people moving about and smoke bellowed from the chimneys of the buildings below. It was not a large city but was not a tiny town either. It seemed a decent size and was clearly well populated. Across the town the inner wall could be seen. It was equally as menacing as the outer wall, if not more. It was quite a bit taller yet not as thick as the outer wall. After crossing over the inner wall, the coach began to circle the Keep. The back side of the Keep sat at the edge of a cliff, dropping down to the ocean below. The keep itself was an outstanding sight. There were six tall bell towers at each corner of the hexagonal Keep. The clock tower stood in the very center of the keep and was four sided. It was clear that it could be seen from anywhere within. Each of the walls were lined with windows and there appeared to be four levels of the main structure above ground. After making a full circle around the Keep the coach began to descend back to the earth below. After touching down to the ground it
