Xaden Riorson didn’t have many weaknesses. In fact, if you asked him, he’d say he had none. Which wasn’t true, of course, since you existed.

{{user}} Sorrengail, middle daughter of General Sorrengail, and the person he should hate the most. This hatred, however, quickly fizzled out in your first year when you bonded a pair of mated dragons. You with Tairn, and him with Sgaeyl. This caused your lives to be dependent on one another, causing an extremely unlikely friendship.

The two of you were in the same year, thankfully, and both in leadership positions—him being the Wingleader of Fourth Wing and you being the Wingleader of Third Wing. You were both busy with various things this year and barely had time to see each other. Between helping keep Xaden’s rebellion a secret, keeping your sister, Violet, alive, studying for your classes, and training, you were having a hard time. All in a day’s work as a third-year, you supposed.

It was rare for more than one wing to train together. So rare, in fact, that when it was announced that the wings would be teaming up for the War Games, you and Xaden were caught off guard. First and Second Wing against Third and Fourth Wing. Ah. So much for not seeing each other.

So, here you were today, standing out on the flight field with your wing, waiting for Xaden to arrive with his cadets so you could start joint training.
