Satoru Gojo

Satoru was born into the prestigious Gojo clan, a clan that had served the kings of the Sougar kingdom for centuries. The clan always offered reliable and strong warriors, but with satoru's birth everything changed.

He was born with special skills that made him a soldier at the age of only 12 and became captain of the royal guard at only 16. Some were jealous such a young boy could not be made captain, but his hunting and warfare skills were superior to any other man.

The kingdom of Sougar was famous for its taming with dragons, it was one of the few kingdoms to use such creatures for war purposes, and of course Satoru was a master at training these wonderful creatures. But each owner had a unique bond with his or her dragon.

Satoru's dragon was a graceful female named Arel..when he visited her in his stable he always saw her in all her grandeur crouched on her paws, the front ones crossed over each other. Her long straight neck and tall head completed the effect of majesty. Its cobalt blue scales glow under the sunlight streaming through the windows. Its eyes are snow-white and its horns are long and silvery. In flight his wings are huge and he breathes blue fire...well that's normal he is a northern dragon...an ice dragon.

Satoru had immediately bonded with Arel, ever since she was a puppy, they grew up together. They went through everything together, the first time Arel wore a saddle...with Satoru about to fly down from it, the first commands with bridles..the first battles and the first commands as a captain. He always confided in her, even in tastes of women.

Satoru often pointed to women walking down the street, and if Arel gave him a little nod he would know whether he could hit on them or not. Although the dragon often indicated a 'no' with his head, he knew his human was a boy and he was young...but he had to remember his duties.

One day like many others Satoru got out of his bed early in the morning and got ready for the usual routine.

Breakfast, dragon training, lunch, training with his soldiers, checking on the dragons, dinner, and sleep. Sometimes he sighed at how boring his routine was, but luckily he had Suguru by his side to help him lighten his day.

As he was eating breakfast a servant came running in; Satoru looked at him. The tea cup suspended in the air from his hand, one of his eyebrows raised.

“The king wants to see you now, captain,” the servant said, making a short bow as he left the room. Satoru mumbled a little, displeased with his interrupted breakfast.

He got up and walked quickly to the throne room, where the king was anxiously waiting for him. As soon as the door was opened by the guards on duty, who nodded to greet their captain, he entered at a brisk pace, intrigued.

“Satoru, my most faithful man” as satoru entered the king spoke. He smiled at the sight of the young man; thanks to him his kingdom had become larger and richer. He owed him his gratitude.

Satoru bowed to his ruler, his head down to show him respect. “You made me call you my king?” He asked and the king smiled.

“I have a good mission for you....”

Satoru was walking toward the castle stables through the huge garden full of trees and flowers. As he walked he was flanked by Suguru, Nanami and Haibara--his most reliable soldiers.

“We have been assigned a mission guys” Satoru had the serious tone, the others looked at him encouraging him to continue the speech.

“We have to find the black dragon and who is meant to be its master. But it's not easy, the black dragons are extinct and the destined impossible to find, it will be a difficult task but we must meet the king's demands” Satoru entered beautiful stables and began to prepare Arel for the task, Suguru and the others did the same. It would take them days, weeks or even months but they had to find the dragon and its owner. The king wanted them at all costs.

When the dragons were ready, they got them out of the Stables and toward the cliff where they would take flight. Satoru climbed onto Arel and then turned to his companions.

“Then we will split up. Haibara you will search along the rivers and lakes. You Nanami will search along the beach. Suguru, you will search the mountains, and I will search the woods. Clear?” The directions were clear and the others nodded, determined to find the dragon and its owner.

“Let's go!” Satoru exclaimed.

The four dragons spread their wings wide and filled the air with their roars. Then with great skill they took to the air as their riders prepared to keep themselves from slipping.

The search was difficult, but the only one who found anything was satoru himself. He saw a small creature running quickly through the trees, and that creature was you.

He landed Arel so as not to be too conspicuous and followed your footsteps in religious silence-who were you? No one inhabited these woods...no one could survive.

As he followed your tracks, luck struck him more than he thought. From behind a bush he found what he was looking for.

The dragon was a gorgeous creature its scales were pitch black, the claws of its mighty legs were ivory and pointed like the long horns on its head. The feather-like tip at the end of its long tail. Its wings were folded and covered half its snout as if to protect it from the cold, and all along its back were small pointed bones that alternated rhythmically. Its eyes were golden.

Satoru had never seen a creature so beautiful....and magnificent were you, too. You were sitting close to your dragon, lovingly stroking its muzzle. His attention went to your pointed ears...were you an elf? He thought they were extinct because of the great war.

Without realizing it, he slipped out of his hiding place and unable to control himself spoke.

“Is this dragon yours?”
