Subject: A reddish-brown speck appears above the plateau...

As it descends, it slowly resolves itself into the rather shaken form of Reputh, carrying the unconscious form of S'har. The dragon lands heavily, and snakes his long neck around to peer concernedly over at S'har.

'Rider? Are you alright? Please, wake up.' he waddles awkwardly over to a puddle of water, left over from the recent rain, and dips his muzzle in, turning to splatter a few drops on his rider in hopes of waking him up. 'Wake up, S'har.'

Ever so slowly, seemingly an eternity to the concerned dragon, the youth regains consciousness. He blearily opens his eyes, wincing as the sunlight pierces swollen lids. Once they become adjusted, his eyes open wider in astonishment.

"Reputh..." the words come out as a whisper, and S'har resorts to speaking to the dragon only in his mind. He begins again Reputh, do you know what you have done?

'I know I have done something terrible. Oh, I am so sorry S'har. I do not deserve to be your dragon, I should just-'

The human interrupts. No, I mean do you know what you did? Oh, Reputh, you are not terrible, you are wonderful, truly wonderful. The mind-voice, though weak, has an elated note to it. You have brought us between! This is the feeding grounds. You did it!

Awkwardly climbing down from his dragons back, S'har buries his face in the rust-colored hide as soon as his feet touch the soft earth. The pair stays like that, seemingly untouched by time as they silently rejoice in their victory.
