3. Background: Aara lives in a world where humans, dragons (Angha), and gryphons (Homa) exist. She is Angha, or Dragon, though her race also takes human form. Angha and Homa mostly keep away from human villagers, for there are strict laws prohibiting humans from knowing of their existence. Angha and Homa are sworn enemies, however, constantly fighting over territory and rights to the skies. They have been feuding for longer than most of their living race can even remember, and it doesn’t seem as though the feuds will stop any time soon

Secluding herself in her heartbreak at the news her love would be mated with another, Aara completes her transformation for the first time, creates the Rift in her immense pain, and flies through it in her delirium, as all females have done before her. The Rift is a place of translocation, though most dragons, or angha, have forgotten this. It is a place one can easily go mad, with no sensory factors except the inner knowledge that one is simply flying. The Rift is unsettling, and terrible for those who do not understand its power. As Aara was about to lose consciousness and give herself over to the nothingness the Rift provided, she was reminded of her love for Kanan-that he saved her and gave her life and a home and many years of experience. In that moment, despite everything, she decides she wants to live because when Kanan first found her he thought her worthy of life. Her will alone allows Aara to keep her sanity as she traverses the Rift. Soon she is out of it, living and breathing and flying through the night air

Aara 3/3 Sorry, HAD to re-edit D8angha_firebirdJuly 19 2011, 05:30:14 UTC
11. Writing sample - Third Person Prose: They were coming. Aara could sense them on the breeze, blood thrumming through her veins. Her heart pattered in her chest as her lungs took in deep breaths of air, near to overflowing.
“They’re here!” She shouted to her two closest companions-her two Sisters. “They’re almost here!”
Then she was off, running down the length of the broad green hill. Aara didn’t wait for Nessarin or Suri to reply. She didn’t wait for the other’s so shield their eyes against the sun and note the dark shapes flying towards them. Suri would be racing toward Taj in any case, ready to check him for serious injury while Nessarin would steadfastly ignore Fane, despite his efforts on garnering her attentions. At this pivotal moment-the arrival of their Angharad and his fellow warriors-Aara had her sight zoned in on one massive ebony beast, and one alone.
Kanan.She could tell even from this great a distance which angha was he. A brilliant smile split across Aara’s face as she inhaled the promise in the air from the sun
