Zelkrith is a dying planet, once a vibrant world, rich and saturated with magic. A world with floating cities, and massive towers that stretches to the skies into the clouds. Animated machinery able to most of the basic work, and nearly every was able to wield magic, along with Dragon's of massive size soaring the skies. Yet then there was the wars, battles that unleashed spells that are still changing the face of the world even years after the battle. Thick forests, grow at accelerate rates and that took over large cities. Vast segments of land simply burn as as an an ever expanding deserts spread endlessly, killing life.
Magic is now feared and stigmatized and mot of the Dragons have fled as their no longer enough Magic for them to safely survive. Yet Magic is still needed, as the fire is needed to halt the growth of the forest, Ice and Water is needed to stop the spread of the deserts, and some Dragons seek to remain here, not willing to watch and let the planet die. Yet those born with Magic are taken to the Dragons. As human and Dragon are paired as a child with a young Dragon. A Bond is formed between them, allowing the Dragon to get needed magic and in return the Human gets to Absorb the Dragon's essence, their life extended. These people have become known as Riders.
The closer the Dragon is Rider the Stronger the bond between the two, the more magic the Dragon can adsorb, allowing it to get older and larger and the stronger the Rider gets, the longer they live.
Yet Dragon and its rider are tested, before they get the official title. They are to enter the forest, find one of the ruins of the former civilization and bring back something from the former age, that might help or aid the survival of the planet. Yet as the forest continue to claim the lands, these forests are teaming with dangerous creature and quite often also claim the lives of the Dragon or the rider. Without a Dragon, the Rider will never make it long enough to get out of the Forest, and without the Rider, the Dragon will run out of magic, and eventually go feral, magic starve will creatures that have simply lost their mind.
Most the the time, if the options are available, they try to match their Dragon and Rider with the same gender, and magic, gifts of Fire to a Red Dragon, or the Gifts of Water to to a Blue. Yet this is not always possible and sometimes challenging pairings are formed. Some succeed despite the odds, most fail to be able to work together.
Zikir a eager and proud, young Red Dragon, was paired and matched with Aira, a child born with the gifts of Ice magic. While both their gifts of magic are badly needed, they have struggled to work together well, and yet they still must go through this test. They are doing their final preparations, to go out and descend into the Forest.
