Beginning Author's Note: It's June 17, 2010 right now, but it will likely be much later when I finally update this. I'm going to explain the timeline of this story over again. I know dragons don't keep diaries, but this is chapter is a dragon's diary entry anyway. So I will basically say Day One was the day Kali started keeping a journal. Tell me who's journal I should write by June 25, 2010, and I'll consider your idea.

So here's the chapter.

Chapter Three
Windblaze
Day Six

It is a few minutes before sunrise. I will put these words into this book quickly, before any other Winged Ones awaken.

Yesterday two new apprentices arrived. One girl and one boy. Maybe one of them will Bond with me; that is, if they are highly unlucky and do not know a runt from a muscular dragon. I hope that is the case. Every new arrival does not pay me any attention. Why is that? Am I not special, like my mother is always telling me? Oh, to be Bonded with... the girl looks intelligent, as does the boy. That lowers my chances quite a bit. I don't even have any friends among the Winged Ones (called dragons by humans, my mother tells me); how will I make those who walk on two legs (mortals, my mother calls them) notice me? Why am I considered strange? I might be smaller, I might keep this book, but does that really make me strange? I can fly really well, and I can breath flame just as well as the other Win- I mean dragons. I might be shy, but that does not make me any less fierce... okay, maybe it does. But if threatened, I am sure I will be just as mighty as the others. Are there dragons like me somewhere out there in the world? I feel like I can control things with my mind; it can't be, though. I must talk to my mother about this. It is as if I can control the... what were they called? Ah yes... Elements. Sometimes I feel so insignificant. Why was I born so different? I even look different; my scales are a bright silver, with a strange golden design dancing across them. That was how I received my name, Windblaze. Today the new arrivals will meet the dragons; they'll meet me. There's a new clutch of eggs just waiting to hatch, but there are also young hatchlings waiting for Bonds. Like me. I hope I am chosen; this is my last chance, I think. Here comes my brother, Stormtail. I'd better not let him see this book. He would have no idea what it was; that would anger him enough to cause him to incinerate the book. I must hide this beneath the scales on my belly; he won't see it there!


Stormtail has left. He will never be Bonded with. None of the new arrivals picked him, and he is past the right age now. He will eventually leave and become a wild dragon. I pray to whatever gods there are that this fate will not be mine. I do not think that normal dragons can control the Elements; why is it that I can? Maybe... maybe I am special. I must go practice my flight techniques now; soon I will meet the new arrivals. If they do not Bond with me, I am doomed...


It is night. I must contain my joy. I was Chosen! I am now a Bond! I cannot believe it, yet it is true. Why did the girl, Kali, choose me? Why not a new hatchling who looks more promising than I? She tells me that I am unique, just like my mother. When she first saw me, her eyes lit up. I'm not sure if I imagined it. It was almost as if... as if she recognized me! It made me feel truly special. We begin training together tomorrow; although I can fly exceedingly well without a rider, I have yet to fly with one! I will try my best; I'm sure I can do well. The events of the day are a blur; I only know that I am a Bond now, and that my Bond is the best being-human, that is- in the world. I must rest, for tomorrow I have some tough training to do.
