The Hunters that could convince a dragon to bond with them, to ride them into battle and call them companion for life were a rare damned lot. Dragons lived very long lives and a bond could grant a similar boon to the human. After all, why bond with a human only to lose them in sixty or seventy short years?
They could have it. Gabriel, known only as Loki to the dragon flock that had taken up residence in the mountains, wasn't interested. He was far older than the others knew and perfectly content to keep it a secret.
Interesting. A large bronze head pokes out of a cave to regard the human, warming his hands before shoving them back into his pockets. Not exactly common to see hikers in the area.
His head is narrow, almost birdlike with a thick ruff of bronze and gold fur and bright, intelligent eyes. As most dragons go he's not one of the biggest, body compact and powerful with nimble forelegs and wings folded in close against scales the colors of honeyed whiskey.
"You look lost," he says as the human passes along the entrance to his cave.
