Chapter 2 The Link

This is the third chapter of many more to come as I said before I will willingly accept criticism from the readers, this is my fifth story on fictionpress, so. enjoy.

Twelve years passed, and in those twelve years Samera hadn't reappeared. it was as if the human had never even been there to begin with.

Samera was now 16, she had long, dark brown, silky hair, blue eyes, and a slender figure. As a child she had been forbidden to enter the forest, but at 16, it lured her in, entrancing her in its mysterious beauty. Her parents had warned her about bandits in the forest, but right now she paid it no attention.
Soon Samera was lost, darkness surrounded her and she knew that she was being followed. Three figures sprang out at her and Samera screamed both internally as well as externally, "Help!" her scream was muffled as a hand clamped over her mouth.
Samera bit down hard on the hand, drawing blood. The man screamed and hit her, throwing her to the ground, weapons came into view, three long swords, the man she had bit bore also a whip. "You're gonna pay for that!" He exclaimed, cracking the whip across her shoulder.
Samera cried out in pain, a large tear showed the welt, blood trickled down it, the whip suddenly cut across her cheek, and once again she cried out, Samera stumbled to her feet and ran, quickly the whip wrapped around her ankle, causing her to pitch forward. Again she stood, feeling the whip crack across her back, she turned, fury in her eyes, the fury of a dragon being tortured before its untimely death. The men stopped laughing, their game was over, they could see it in her eyes, dark blue fiery pools. A large stick rested in her hands, she swung fiercely, cracking one in the shoulder. The other two leapt forward, grabbing Samera's arms, the third held a dagger..
Sazuki's ears burned, she had heard the call for help and she was sure that every dragon in the world had heard it, her skin began to burn. almost as if she was being hit with a whip,(It burns momma!) Sazuki exclaimed.
(What does, Sazuki?) Asked her mother quietly.
Another earsplitting mental scream hit them.
Suddenly Sazuki's side began to ache, just as if she had been stabbed. (Momma!) She cried.
(Oh god no. you've got a mind link with a human!) Her mother cried, (I'll find the human.)
The dragon skimmed the trees, below her she could sense a human's life force, it was weak, nearby there were several others, their life forces were dark with evil. She slipped below the trees where she hovered, nearby there lay the crumpled figure of a girl. The girl stirred slightly, the dragon could sense her pain, (What's the matter child?)
(T-That voice. I know it.) The girl said weakly, (Who is it?)
(Maybe you've met me, but right now come with me.) The dragon said.
(I-I can't stand. they've bound my hands and feet.)
(Then I'll carry you.) The dragon said, lifting the girl above the trees.
(Thank you, but why did you save me?) Samera asked.
(You share a link with my daughter. if you had died then she would have as well.)
(I suppose I should've listened to my parents. but the forest. so beautiful.. Calling to me, it has so for 12 years.)
(You are no ordinary human, child, your link with Sazuki and your ability to speak with dragons. it is no mere coincidence.)
(What do you mean?) Samera asked.
(It was foretold that in the year 1282 a child would be born at the exact moment as a dragon. the child would understand us, and lead us into the light. a time when humans and dragons would no longer be mortal enemies, but very close friends. If that were so then my kind would become plentiful once more.)
(Whoa- wait a minute, you don't think that-) Samera couldn't finish.
(Yes that is what I think,) The dragon said, (But, be warned, not everybody likes the idea of dragons and human beings together, they are the ones who warped the human minds into thinking we were dangerous to begin with. Those people will try to stop you on your quest-) The dragon stopped, Samera was no longer conscious, (Rest well human.)
When the dragon returned home Sazuki as well was unconscious. The dragon sighed and set Samera gently down next to Sazuki. (Your journey begins here.. And will continue for many years to come.) The dragon said quietly.
