It was a very free life. Living with just she and dragon Stardust, flying about and learning all she could about the amazing world of dragons, was the most gratifying life she felt she could live. It was such a relief to live this kind of life after she had lived so many years being an outcast in her own village. Now she knew though, that she didn't need those people. She didn't need anyone. All she needed was Stardust and the other dragons by her side. It was all she wanted and all she would ever need. She felt free. She felt loved. And for once in her life she felt at home. The skies were her home now and there was nothing better than that. 

Except for when she was caught in a storm, and much to her displeasure it was a storm she was caught in right now. She held on tightly to Stardust as the dragon attempted to maneuver through the clouds, lightening striking around them and thunder rolling, the winds around them unbearable. This was very well the toughest storm they had ever been in and she knew if they stayed in the skies during this horrible weather they wouldn't make it. Staying pressed down against Stardust, attempting to see around them, she yelled over the roaring wind in hopes that her friend would hear her, "Stardust! We HAVE to land! Find some dry land and get out of the skies! Fast!" The dragon gave a clicking sound in understanding and struggling through the storm until her rainbow eyes spotted an island down below. The white dragon nodded as she went to lower herself, but was still about fifty feet up when hail began to pelt them and a large gust of wind knocked her off balance and the two went into a dive, Stardust roaring and Aurora giving off a scream as they landed in the water next to the island. 

The struggling dragon popped her head up out of the water, searching wildly for her human and when she saw the human hadn't come to the surface yet, dived down and after a moment of searching saw her drifting off and sinking lower into the water. Before the human could fully loose consciousness her dragon swam under her and the human weakly wrapped her arms around her neck, Stardust carrying her over to shore. Coughing u what water had made its was into her lungs, Aurora groaned as she layed there, soaked and freezing, but safety out of the storm for now as she slipped off, going unconscious. 

Stardust whined as her human closed her eyes and curled herself around the freezing girl in attempt to warm her in the now hailing and snowy storm, and she stayed that way there for a long moment before she heard footsteps. The dragoness looked up, her rainbow eyes glaring and pupils turning to slits as she growled, standing in front of Aurora and crouched down in order to protect her human rider from any threats that might emerge from the trees.
