(Tyler's pov)

[November, 2154]

As the rain poured down upon the jungle where we were, Josh and I went hunting. When we discovered a wild Omegan boar hiding by the trees, I took out my bow and aimed at it.

A few seconds later, I shot the boar. Josh was surprised, very surprised.

I approached the boar and pulled out my dagger, stabbing it, putting it out of it's misery.

"O Velyka maty, strazhday i zhertvuy. Prykhod'te na dopomohu i zakhyshchayte nashykh lyudey."

Joshua looked at me, amazed.

"Clean kill." He said.

I pulled out the arrow and looked at him.

"You are ready."

The next day, Tomko took all the new hunters, including myself, to pick out a drakon, which I like to call banshees. Learning how to fly them is what every new hunter has to pass, and I was terrified.

After we got to the drakon's keep. Josh came in, flying his drakon Xanny. He looked over to Tomko.

"Blazhenna velyka maty."

Tomko bowed his head.

"My svyati Dzhoshua."

Tomko looked upon me, smiling like the devil.

"Tayler Yosef will go first."

With those words, I started walking into the keep. Josh stayed behind me, making sure I didn't make a mistake.

When I saw the drakons for the first time, I thought it was the coolest thing I have ever seen.

"Now you must choose your own drakon." He said. "This, you must feel inside. If he chooses you, you must act quickly, just like I showed you. You have one chance Tyler."

"How will I know if he chooses me?" I asked.

"He will try to kill you."

I was shaken, but it got me excited.

"Outstanding."

I started walking through the keep, seeing any drakon that could choose me. I watched every motion it made. Some flew away, but I pushed on.

Tomko stood by Josh, laughing.

"Durnyy khlopchyk." He said.

As I walked near the end of the keep, I found a blue purplish drakon that looked extremely vicious, yet he seemed very interested in me.

When I knew he was going to choose me, I pulled out my rope.

"Let's dance."

I jumped on top of the drakon, tying the rope around it's nose, trying to connect my halo to it, but it fought me.

Tomko and the others stood there, laughing.

"Yomu krashche pomerty."

I continued to fight the creature, and it fought me.

"Biy khlopchyka!"

"Make the bond!"

The drakon pulled me, and caused me to fall backwards, but I got back on and started waving my halo close to it.

"Tyler, the halo!" He cried.

With his words shouting at me to do what was supposed to be done, I successfully connected my halo to the drakon, and it connected to my mind.

Before I could do anymore, the drakon started lifting me into the air. Josh pulled me to the edge.

"Your first flight seals the bond. You cannot wait."

The drakon stood before the edge, preparing to take off.

"Think! Fly!"

"Fly?"

The drakon took off flying into the sky, and I had no idea what to do. I screamed at the top of my lungs when I flew through the Omega land. I was scared.

"Shut up and fly straight!"

With my words, the drakon obeyed and flew straight like I told it to.

"Okay, bank left!"

The drakon went left.

"Now level out!"

The drakon did as I told, and I started to get the hang of it. Josh jumped on his drakon Xanny and met with me in the sky. Together, we flew through the land.

As we did, we saw so many amazing things. Things that I have never seen before. Josh and I even stopped to talk about how I was with the drakon.

"I came like this." He said. "This you. I turn, I feel the wind. I turn very strong."

"Yeah I see. I banked so hard."

Then we flew together again, and it was the best experience of my life.

And to be honest, I may not be much of a horse guy, but I was born to do this.

I don't think I ever want to stop.
