     Casey skimmed low above the treetops, wings fully extended.  Behind him he heard Alana frantically trying to keep up.  He had learned that she was an adolescent dragon, not much older than himself, and if she did well with him she may earn a place among what he understood to be a dragon version of the cia.  Grinning he dived between two trees, running below canopy level of the massive forest he had been training in for almost a week now.  He had learned how to satisfy his thirst by hunting small game,  how to fight using his fists and a sword(which he now wore at his belt at all times) and a bow.  Elva had told him earlier that day that the elf that was going to teach him was going to arrive that evening, and that he could take today and go out with Alana and do some training together.  Their minds were linked deep enough that they rarely were apart. she was small enough that if she folded up her wings tight she could hide on his back under his cloak.  Branches grazing the edge of his wings snapped Casey out of his reverie, and he folded them in and dived down to the floor, flaring them out just before he landed to slow himself.  Alana landed next to him, breathing heavily.  She gave him an exasperated look.

     "Next time let's go a little slower okay?  i'm still not as fast as you"  She whined jokingly.

     "If we don't practice you'll never be as fast as me though!  Besides we're already late and Elva's gonna be pissed." Casey countered.

     "Lucky for you I'm very forgiving." Elva spoke softly as she entered the clearing.  Casey and Alana whipped around to face her, bowingas they murmured apologies.

     "It would seem you have been taught respect for you elders, this is most excellent." An old man's voice broke in from the edge of the clearing.  "I am relduin, i will be teaching you the ways of elvish magic."  The old man stepped into the sunlight, revealing a man who to Casey appeared no more then fourty, but he knew he had to be hundreds of years old.  Deep scars lined his bare arms and face, and his blue eyes showed wisdom beyond measure. tapered ears poked through his long grey hair.  "Oh by the way this is my assistant, Elizabeth." Out of the shadows stepped a girl Casey judged to be qenuininely about twenty or so.  She caught his eyes once then turned her face to the side, hiding her eyes behind her long flowing brown hair.  "tonight we shall talk, then tomorrow we begin" Relduin spoke with an air of command.
