Sabia- Bonds

"True" mates, in the Misceo culture, are bonded for life. Intelligence, loyalty and a fierce determination to succeed are traits most Misceo people share. A majority are logical and tend to embrace reason and observation over emotion. They are not quick to anger, and prefer to fight battles on the intellectual warfront,  although they can be deadly fighters when the need arises, as both sexes are trained to fight from an early age. If a Misceo meets their true mate however, it is said an intense emotional connection is formed that cannot be severed...……………….and any threat to that connection can rouse intense, passionate emotion. Sabia understands that connection all too well. She shares it with Hauk.

Sabia and Hauk were raised in the same village. It was recognized early on that they were true mates, as there was a definite connection between them, even as children. They had an uncanny ability to always know where the other was located, a telepathy shared between them. As they grew older the physical attraction became undeniable as well.  They were mated as soon as Sabia came of age.

Sabia's parents shared the true mate bond as well, not all Misceos do. Such a bond is said to be a rare gift. The familiar bonds are also stronger if offspring should be born to true mates. Nevertheless, Sabia rarely talks about her parents or her family. To bring their tragic story to the forefront of her mind engages emotions she would rather not  dissect.
