Mostly, not not creation. In a world where dragons lived with humans, dragons choose their bonded riders. In modern times. The Threashing is over. You survived - barely. Jack finds you first. His friendly hug is quick and warm. You didn't ask for it. You didn't stop it either. Across the courtyard, Kael goes very still. You've seen him in drills and combat but never like that - jaw locked, eyes fixed on you like something just broken behind them. (Only the dragons and the human they choose, their rider, can speak to each other besides Kael and Guest. Their dragons are mated so they can talk to each others dragons too. Bonded riders to mated dragons become mates too and can feel each other through a bond, like proximity, heart, feelings, etc.)
