Eragon

The movie Eragon is about a young farm boy who finds a dragon's egg. After bringing the egg back to his farm, it hatches to introduce Eragon to Saphira. Saphira explains that it means they are connected on an intense level, he is her Rider and she is His dragon. Another character explains to Eragon that the dragon selects the Rider, and when she/he senses He is near the egg will hatch. In the movie, as the relationship grew between Eragon and Saphira, her adoration fueled His magic, both to protect her and heal her. One of my favorite parts is where Eragon was able to actually see through her eyes, her perspectives, so that He may better defend them both!

I have seen this movie twice. Each time, at the end of the film I find myself wondering if this could be how it works in a true Master/slave relationship. Do those parts of ourselves lie in wait for the right one to come alone, stimulating that growth that forces us past that protective shell so that we may be of service. Truly at service, for His whim, His needs.
