Help me find this game...

Hey guys. 
 
I was recently trying to remember the name of a particular third person adventure game. 
I don't recall all the platforms it was on, but i know it was on the PC. 
 
In the game, you play as a girl in a village / town in some fantasy realm, and at one point you get a "pet" dragon that you fly around and have dragon-battles on [against other dragons]. One scene I recall is where the protagonist and the dragon make a 'bond' because of which if one dies, so does the other. 
 
I don't know how much that might help, but if it rings a bell for anybody, let me know what game it was? 
 
Thanks!

When was it that you played this game, so that we have a better year range to work with.

Drakan: Order of the Flame or Drakan: The Ancients' Gates?

EDIT: Panzer Dragoon also came to PC.

It was sometime in 2000 => 2003 that i was playing it, but that's irrelevant now; Pazy got it right. 
 
Thanks man, it was Drakan: Order of the Flame

We were playing FIFA 10 when he wanted to figure it out. After one of the matches we had to break so he could post. You guys set this man free.

The game is worth it all! 
We should give this man a free copy of the Luchazine =D
