In the land of Slynthaka, Dragons and humans rule. Humans ride the dragons and fight off enemies in their clans. there are three clans. Shadackclan, Preciekclan and Farrekclan. Amber had just arrived on her own dragon, Amethyst. The purple pink dragon had been her one and true friend ever since her family had been captured and killed by the Dark Lord.
So she and Amethyst had seeked refuge in the mountains of Slynthaka. Amber's long, shiny straight black hair hung loyally around her shoulders as she entered Farrekcan. Rickshaw, the clan leader, had welcomed her into his clan with open arms. His daughter, Merith, was the first to greet her.
"Hi."
"Hi." Amber replied shyly.
"New here huh? Don't worry, they don't bite." Merith smiled and waved to the rest of the clan, all sitting around a fire on the cave floor, eating meat of some kind.
"Care to join us?"
"Um, thank you, but no. I have to unpack my bags..."
Amber hurried away, still shy and nervous about meeting anyone new. She met Rickshaw outside another cave.
"These caves cost ten coins, you will be staying here?"
"Yes." she replied, and handed over the coins. Rickshaw's face broke into a grin. "Good, welcome. It's not much, but it will serve as home."
Amber opened the wooden door to the cave and smiled. it was cosily lit with a single candle. There was a bureau, a bedside table and a small bed, a chest in the corner, a desk, four walls and precious little else. Amber set down her few belongings. she unpacked her clothes into the bureau. She then approached the chest in the corner of the cave. She opened it and placed in it her one and only treasure. A golden necklace embedded with rubies, given to her by her mother. She then set her last possession down on the bedside table. it was a photograph with a family smiling out of it's frame. Amber smiled faintly and stoked the picture, then turned away.
she stepped out of the cave. After a few words to a passing dragon, she headed down the rocky hillside towards a lake to bathe.
