Lady Violetta clapped her hands loudly then spoke

"I think that is enough for today, students. Let's head to lunch. We are having spaghetti and meatballs today."

Lady Violetta lead the way to the dining room.

Naureen was still upset and walked up to Ayaka and whispered

"Can I talk to you for a minute? Please?"

"Sure," Ayaka said holding Kasako in her hands with Rikami sitting by her side. "What about?"

Zack placed the objects back in the box gently, then jogged to catch up to Lady Violetta. "Uhm... Excuse me. Could you tell me when I can go visit my pets?"

Dante made his way down to the dinning hall and found a place to sit after getting a goblet fillies with water he pulled out his notebook and started to study his necromancy class.

All students will be taking creatureology.

Lady Violetta and Zane headed to the Creatureology Lab, Zane carrying her dragon egg in the sling around her neck. There they waited for the students to arrive.

Roisin came in with her kitten, Ember and her egg.

Dante walked through the door of the lab, Virgil at his heels the hound had become very obedient and trusting of Dante. Dante had been taking good care of the hound though he spent most of his money on Virgil, Dante dound a place to sit looking at the headmistress and the new teacher.

Ayaka came in holding Kasako. Rikami walked at her side. She walked over and found a place next to Roisin and looked at the headmistress and Zane. Ayaka still wasn't sure she trusted this new teacher too much.

Lady Violetta decided to speak a bit to the ones who had arrived.
"Each of you get a Creeper for arriving on time. This semester we will be starting to look at the anatomy of the creatures that were chosen as our pets. I'll start with mine then everyone else can speak of their own pet.

"I have chosen a Personal Dragon Egg to raise. It seems to be very warm to touch and sometimes I think that I hear a tiny whispering from the dragonling inside the egg."

Lady Violetta spoke once all of the students were assembled.
"Today Ranger druid Zane will do the lecture. Please pay attention to her as you would me."

"I would like for each of you who has a dragon egg, take it out so that it can be examined and compared. This is the egg that I have and was attracted to.
Intro to Dragonology
Now that you have a Dragon Egg, what do you do with it? It depends on what dragon is inside of it. Eggs come in different sizes depending on the breed.
Let us start with the various breeds by egg size.
A) The smallest is the Personal Dragon Eggs. These eggs are leathery and about a foot long with the circumference of a foot. They weigh about five pounds.
B)The next size would be The Ancient Ones. They are about a foot and a half long with a circumference of a foot. These are leathery as well. They weigh about five pounds.
C) The Water Dragon eggs are spongy and porous since the dragon will need the water to survive. They will stay in an aquarium most of the time. The eggs will be more like a ball than an egg. The ball would be about a foot in circumference and weigh 10 pounds.
D) The Land Dragons are hard shell eggs that are two and a half feet long with the circumference of two feet. They are more heavy than the other two, weighing in at 20-25 pounds.
E) The Flying Dragons are hard shell eggs as well but they are larger due to the wings. The eggs are at least 3 feet long and the circumference is over 2 feet. The weigh in at 35 pounds.
We will take each kind of dragon in turn in each section of this book.
Taking care of the egg.
While the baby is in the egg it will be considered an embryo. All of the eggs are taken care of the same way except that the water dragons will be in an aquarium instead of a nesting box.
You will need to examine the egg about every 4 hours to make sure that it does not have a scratch in it. Scratches mean that the nesting material is too abrasive for the egg and could allow germs inside the egg which will harm the growing embryo.
You will need to change the position of the egg so it would be wise to mark each side with either numbers or letters so that you will know where to lay the egg. The reason for this is to keep the embryo from sticking to the egg.
While the embryo is forming, you may project images to the embryo. This will serve as a bond forming process and will increase the intelligence of the future dragonling.
The Hatching Process
Here is where the eggs differ from each other.
The Personal Dragon Eggs and The Ancient Ones open their eggs by stretching their bodies until there is a hole and wriggling themselves out of the egg.
Water Dragons tend to do the same type of a thing but they do have a egg tooth to help rip open the egg. The egg tooth is lost in a few days after hatching for dragonling will not need it any longer.
The Land Dragons and Flying Dragons also have an egg tooth. It is a hard and very sharp. This tooth will be used to 'peck' at the egg until bit by bit the egg cracks open.
Always keep the remains of the egg and use it to aid digestion of the dragonling.
Sometimes the dragonling will have upset tummies because it is not used to the new food it receives after it is hatched.

I will compare my egg to the chart now. As everyone can see it is a Flying Dragon. Who is next?" Zane finished up the first portion of class.

Ayaka didn't pick out a dragon egg and had no plans on raising a dragon anytime soon so she vaguely paid attention to what Zane was saying. It was one of the moments where the question 'Do I even need to pay attention right now?' came up in her head. Of course if Zane started talking about the frost wolf or fire cat (or any other animal for that matter), Ayaka would pay attention.

Roisin took her heavy egg to the chart and compared them. Her eyes went wide open.

"I have a flying dragon! Will I be able to ride him when he grows up?" she asked but she got a vision in her head of a baby female dragon but it was very fuzzy.
"I just saw a baby female dragon but it was fuzzy like........"

"That is your baby dragon trying to communicate with you. Congratulations! You formed a good bond with your egg already. Now you need to write down what you have found out and what you saw for your own record. Then take the weight of your creatures and record that. After everyone is finished with their own creatures weight and such, I will start the next part of the lecture." Zane spoke warmly.
