Panic. That's what she felt that night. She had raced after Terin after a rude awakening, and did her best to help carry water. After the fire, she made sure to stick by Terin's side anywhere he went. One day, he finally told her to go. She felt crushed, he really didn't want her around? She soared through the skies watching him from above. No. She wouldn't leave. With a small snort she rose in the air, finally bursting through the clouds and growing to her full size. There. Now she felt that she would be able to actually speak to him. Sure it would only be through thoughts, but that would be enough. She thought of a name for herself as she spotted Terin on the ground. Mirima. That would be her name, and she would be sure he used it for her, because she wasn't about to leave.
Mirima roared loudly as she folded her wings to dive to the earth. Just before colliding with the ground she opened her wings and landed with a heavy thud. Her first order of business was finding going to be finding Terin. It was fairly easy to find him. Was he always so small? Now she could see the tops of the trees, it was strange to be this large. Using her new found ability, she spoke into his mind. Terin. I refuse to leave you. I chose you as my rider, and I will forever be bound to you.
