Sampson
Sampson stood at the edge of the pier, the warm air buffeting his jacket and loose trousers. The sun shone brilliantly in the sky as a hand full of airborne dragons cast swift shadows across the waters in their passing. Sam let out a sigh at the sight, this was home. The busy town behind him brought with it familiar sights and smells, everything from apothecaries to tailors shops lined the dock side district. Up hill catered to the higher class citizenry and was home to the Voskland fort. The heavily fortified structure housed the ruling family and all their employees. Though it was more polite to call them employees everyone knew them to be little more than indentured servants.


Sampson felt a chill down his spine at the thought, he knew that life all to well having spent his youth as a slave to the royal family. Since his parents had died before they could pay their debts, the bill had fallen to him as a mere child. To pay for his families misfortune he had been conscripted into the ranks and served as little more than a servant to the upper class. Only when he was a young man had he paid off the entirety of the debt. The hard life of a servant had left him biter and a bit jaded, but the allure of the open sea and all the lands beyond called to him.


The shadow of the fort on the hill did little to sour his mood as the sight of his beloved ship the Mioteme brought a smile to his face regardless. Climbing about the triple masted schooner he waved to the crew and inspected her stem to stern. She appeared in tip top shape and it brought another broad smile to Sams face. He soon ducked into his private cabin to await his next customer.
Sarah

Leaping clear of a log Sarah sprinted through the forest as swift as a deer. Her long braid streamed out behind her as he wild laughter echoed through the trees. Just behind her, the shadow of a dragon pursued her. Pan followed the girl effortlessly, never losing her scent of falling behind more than a few paces from the girl. Sarah laughed manically as she suddenly burst through the underbrush to the edge of a waterfall, far below a crystal clear pool of water fed into the sea.

With a twist and leap, Sarah dove in. Pan leaped a moment later to glide down to the waters edge. Sarah landed with a splash and surfaced with a fierce grin. Pan lay on the sandy strip between the water and the forest. He grinned to her and bobbed his head excitedly.

"Aye, you sure are quick ain't ya?" She giggled at the fluffy green dragon.

He shrugged his shoulders in modest expression.

"Honestly i'm not sure what else you expected, seeing as you've only got your two legs whilst i have four?" he said in bemusement.

Sarah spit a jet of water at the fluffy beast and laughed and his surprised and indignant reaction. Pan rose to his feet with an evil grin before pouncing forward and sending a wave of water over Sarahs head. The two continued to play games and laugh at each other in the safety of the clearing.

Before long Sarah emerged drenched and tired as she wrung out her shirt and pants. Ditching her shoes entirely she lay on a large rock to dry off. Settling next to the rock Pan rested his head above where Sarahs lay. She idly reached a hand up and stroked his soft facial fluff. Before long she fell asleep under the watchful gaze of her friend Pan.
