STORY
Sloth waited for his bond to arrive. The Dragon mutt had been born to the fire-maned white cartographer on a mission Supra-Vie and the cursed half demonic unicorn Verem. As soon as he had gained awareness, Sloth had known everything that had ever happened and everything that would ever come to pass. He'd been told by his father that there was no escaping his fate and that he would learn to deal with it or grow mad. Sloth knew he'd deal with it. 
And that meant that today he was meant to bond. His eyes trailed toward the place where he knew Iso would appear. As expected, the silvery grey chaos cat appeared, hurrying behind a little ball she was moving with her elemental air or wind powers. Without having to follow the ball, Sloth knew that the ball would stop right in front of his hooves. 
As it was meant to happen, he looked down into the eyes of the cat and wondered why he would bond with a creature living squarely in the now. But alas there was still some universal mystery as to the why bonds happened and Sloth did not know the answer. 
"You may call me Zele-to." Sloth said. 
Iso blinked. She wondered what to do next but decided that investigating this interesting individual would be a good way to waste some time. She sniffed, explored and marked her way around the dragon. The Chaos cat particularly liked his fluffy fur and the heat that radiated through his skin. He talked but was quiet in his mind which suited her just fine. Iso had little need to know another's mind, opinions or wishes. The only downside was that Zele-to didn't have any hands to pet her with.
Because Sloth knew what Iso was thinking about, he shifted into his human form and gave his bond the attention she wanted. 
Iso's eyes shone like little stars as her mind quickly registered that she could definitely make use of her new companion. . 
Purring she thought about drinking some milk.
Sloth nodded and went to fetch it. By the time he returned, Iso had already left, her mercurial nature forcing her to chase whatever had crossed her path. But that didn't matter as Sloth knew perfectly well where his bond was and had the means to follow her. Teleporting, he showed up right next to Iso who was grooming herself after a decent little chase across the Nexus.
Iso purred her approval and was soon fast asleep in Sloth's arms. Not much later, the water opal had followed her, dreaming of running around pastures, about soaking up the sun's rays and eating good food. 
When Sloth awoke, it was to find his bond looking at him. Her face hovered perilously close, sharing his breath.
"You may call me Iso." the cat said. 
She would not talk often. Zele-to knew what she wanted anyway. Thinking was easier. And just like that, her mind strayed to thinking about having some fun...

Sloth knew where they were headed. He also knew what was going to happen. As usual he did not speak to his bond about it. He was unable to do so and he doubted Iso would have cared either way. As usual she followed her nose and eyes and didn't have a care in the world as she knew there was someone following her around who would take care of her. 
Sloth or Zele-to as he would introduce himself to the people of the place they were headed, would join a mating flight. He already knew the outcome. But he would still enter, would still give his best. There was no way to alter his fate. 
Life like this wasn't exactly exciting but then, exciting was overrated when one was travelling with a Chaos Cat. Sloth knew Iso would come and go. She would whine and gripe, but she would allow him to do what he wanted. She always accepted his preferences. She knew that he would still take care of her. In that it was a good thing that he was a male. A female dragon would not have been able to give herself so completely.
