A Dragon's Bond Read Online Free

like him and also go to the bonders quarters.
    Not all the kids at the academy would become bonders. They were there because they either had an older sibling or a parent that was a bonder. Some of them were just children of those who worked at the academy. The academy was home to different races and creatures alike. There were minotaurs, centaurs, fauns, elves, dwarfs, and of course humans.
    Out of all of the kids, there was one child that had become good friends with Davin. It was a young girl named Chloe Collins. She was the daughter of the Keep Town Mayor, Stewart Collins. Her older brother Aiden, was ten years older than she. He was the Keep Den Master. He was in charge of the den and pit areas. He held the master key to all the dragon dens and was also a bonder himself. Chloe was eight years old just as Davin was. They spent most of their time together after school playing games and running about. She was a very sweet girl, with a strong heart and a love for dragons. She was quite the opposite of her father and her older brother, who were both very self impressed and walked walked about as though they were better than other people. Her brother Aiden was the worst of the two. Not only was he full of himself, but he had a temper with a very short fuse. He was quick to anger and you did not want to be on the opposite end of that stick. He was bonded to a black dragon who he called Pain. You were wise to steer clear of Aiden unless you had specific business with him at the request of a superior figure.
    Within the Keep, Aiden was fourth in command. He fell below The minotaur Commander, Goban. Goban was in charge of Keep Security and Arms. He was bonded to a male green dragon he called Em, short for Emerald. Then there was Lugos who was second in command only to Myrdinn. Lugos was not bonded any longer. He was at one time, but his dragon was brutally murdered when he was younger . Myrdinn was Master of the keep and answered to no other. Myrdinn was bonded to a brown dragon and rightfully his name was Levitás.
    Chloe was a petite girl with shoulder length, straight brown hair. She had a scar that ran across her left eye. It went from just above her eyebrow down to the top of her cheek. She was very quiet and did not talk much except to Davin. She found some security in him seeing as he was different as well. Nobody knew where she got the scar from and nobody seemed to ever ask.
    Davin and Chloe always seemed to find themselves butting heads with a couple of the other kids in particular. There was a boy named Blake who was a typical bully. Unfortunately he was a minotaur, so he was extra tough. There was really no sense in trying to fight back. He would just end up hitting you harder. There were two others with him all of the time. Wherever Blake was, Toby and James were never far behind.
    Toby was a faun child. He was always instigating and riling up Blake. He never got much more involved other than making things worse for the person standing across from Blake.
    James was a fat little dwarf boy and was not very bright. He would just chuckle and laugh at whatever the other two did. Blake would often times slug him in the shoulder for laughing too much.
    It was actually these three that ended up starting Chloe and Davin's friendship. It was after school one day. Davin had heard Blake and Toby picking on someone. The distinct chuckle of James meant they were definitely up to no good as usual. Davin rounded a corner to find poor little Chloe, cornered in one of the passageways leading from class. They were poking at her scar and calling her some of the most horrid names. Chloe was probably more angry than she was hurt. You could see her fighting back a tear that was beginning to form in her eye.
    It was that day Davin first learned how tough even a boy minotaur was. Davin had rushed over to aid Chloe. He through his shoulder into the back of the unsuspecting minotaur, only to find himself on the ground. He probably would have been
