Dragon's trench was a wide canyon that stretched the length of the Frost lands . Steam seemed to softly waft from it at a constant rate, a signal to the surrounding area that it was indeed nearby . The dragons  lived in caves and rocky cliffs or even the river system encased by the canyon edges . Even the StormTwins called this place home .

There was a cliff that overlooked the  Canyon, a place where dragon riders had come for generations to call forth their dragon, ever since the first dragon bond . Now, each royal in turn came here to be introduced to the dragon clan while the citizens watched from below . Granted normally they knew her better, but this time there was a lot of curiosity and speculation In the crowd . Would the Dragon's accept an adopted daughter into their ranks? It was a genuine concern .

These whispers did nothing for Clovis' nerves as he stood beside Bryson and Myra looking up at the cliff . He couldn't help but run his hand through his hair again, ruffling the dark strands, cut much shorter for ease of upkeep . The leather pants and tunic he wore fitting his now muscled form . He looked as though he belonged next to his war hero Grandfather in law now .

"Calm yourself, Clovis . If nothing else she will be greeted by the storm twins and that is just as much an honor as being chosen . Raina has played among the dragons long enough to be known among them . " Myra pointed out, well aware of his concerns . He nodded, eyes still glued to the cliff where his wife would lead his daughter out . A large palm that once would have made him stagger slapped down on his shoulder, now it barely made him s.h.i.+ft . He glanced up at Bryson then back at the cliff .

"If you keep tussling that hair of yours you won't have anything left . Now calm yourself . Kyera knows what she is doing . " Bryson reminded him as the first hint of Kyera and Raina came into view . They were soft blue shapes against a crimson sky . They were a breathtaking pair . No one would have ever thought they were not mother and daughter . The smaller looked as though she was a perfect copy of the older .

Kyera kissed Raina's hair and bowed to the trench . The crowd seemed to snap to attention as Kyera pulled her Zither from her hair and began to play . The sound was soothing and yet teasing and playful . The human and s.h.i.+fter listeners enjoyed it as the music turned to a storm of notes no one had heard before, unless they witnessed the Storm Queen summoning her twins . In a flash of air and a rumble of the cloudless sky, two dragons emerged from the trench, flying at identical speeds up to the cliff edge and shooting high over it . The pair swooped and dove over the heads of the crowd as lesser storm dragons filled the air as well, following the twins, they were young and beautiful .

Kyera walked to the cliff edge and sat on it . As Ember swooped down, Kyera pushed off . She fell . Her beautiful skirts flashed and flowed around her legs in an almost living way as she fell . Before she went 10 feet, her hands caught around Ember's front talon, so she was hanging suspended in the air for a moment before Ivory glided up and nested Kyera between her shoulder blades .

Clovis finally took a breath when she was safely in place . Bryson chuckled noticing his grand son in law's reaction .

"Well, it looks like she took her husband into account this time . LAME . " Sansor whined and Clovis glanced at him .

"I agree, I was hoping for the swan dive, it's still her best move . " Myra agreed . It was fairly clear that Clovis was the only one concerned by Kyera's death defying fall .

"You must agree though, it was more beautiful and elegant than her Swan Dive . " Bryson offered and Clovis shot him a bit of a hurt look, as though he felt betrayed . Bryson just winked .
