[IC] Dragon Riders Needed! Tale of Two Dragon Academies[CLOSED]

[Aisling]

After you have gone through the last testing ( sight ), you will run into a bright light that will reveal something to you. After you get through the bright light, you will see the Lore Master. Please think on it and respond at the dinner meeting!

@Eklispe

Ixonia watched in horror as she gripped her seat. She wanted to close her eyes but could not. She kept quiet and allowed the testing to continue for she knew that it was a test.

Suddenly there was a bright light and she realized something that she had not thought of before! But before she
could ask The Lore Master, she was given a scroll with a number on it and was told to move into her cave.

As The Lore Master exited the end of The Tunnel she was once more reminded of the lesson it teaches each person who goes through The Tunnel.
She waits on her new horse with her puppy who struggles to get down. She leaned over to let the puppy on the ground.
“Shadow, stay out of the way of the wagons. I expect them to come through soon.”

The Lore Master guided each wagon to a certain spot where it could be unloaded with ease.
The four with staples in them were parked close to the food storage was. Those horses easily came through on their own. The Lore Master unhitched them and sent them on their way to the animal pen.
As the students came through, she handed each one a scroll with a cave number on it.
“This is your cave. Please pull up to one of the parking spots and unhitch the horses before you start unpacking your belongings.” She told each one.

Lance felt the cave closing in on him and the pressure on his body. He felt almost paralyzed, he thought if he should have ever entered the cave to begin with. "I must do this, this is my destiny right now" he says in reassertion. Lance hangs on until the heavy weight and pressure wears off, moving onto the next part of the cave.

Sight

Relief from the odd sensation was welcome. However, as was custom of the cave, it was replaced with something worse. Up ahead merely a short ways he saw his dragon. He knew it was his, though he couldn't say how. Its eyes lit up with joy at seeming him and it ran towards him, it was small with chubby legs and tiny wings that seemed incapable of flight. Then a loud crack rang out through the cave and a crevice opened beneath the dragon. It gave him one pleading look before it plummeted, desperately trying to flap its wings. The crevice closed with the same noise and Lance was left alone his thoughts and the faint light that he could see.

[pkken]

Lance had a sneak peek at his partner, "is that you" He says. He reached his hand out but the dragon had plummeted to the core of the earth. Lance lets his hand down slightly, this cave wasn't any ordinary cave. As he saw the light he was relieved it was finally over and he made it out. He saw the loremaster and Ixonia. "Some ride" Lance says scratching his head. He followed the route and parked the wagon next to Ixonias. He walked up the the lore master and accepted the scroll she handed out for the cave he will be inhabiting. "Looks like its time to unpack Lance says" as he sees Zac coming up from the shadows of the wagon.

Jen walked into the light, everything fading to white for a second, before she stumbled out the other side, shivering a little from what she had learned. She went over to the Loremaster and took a scroll, thanking her, before moving the wagon over to the spot she was pointed at.

Gabanre did not year the voices Anymore, and when they were gone, he tasten blood. A pain in his mouth as if he cut himself. He thought about it, but he never had something in his mouth. Then he relised himself that Lore Master said that is is a test. And thus he walked further

[Eklispe]

@twannyman

Sight

The taste faded like everything in the cave did, until it was hardly much more than a memory. Then he saw it. By it, himself. Locked in mortal combat with a dragon. His image silently roared at the dragon and it roared back. In the Glaedr's roar however was specks of blood. Gabrane's blood was lodged in the creature's heart and the dragon's talons glowed with fire as they carved into Gabreane's image's chest. The two figures remained there, as though frozen in time for several seconds and Gabrane could feel that it wasn't just any dragon. It was his dragon. The one he would come to own. Then, they melted away before the light that showed the end of the cave. It seemed the cave was finished with him for better or for worse.

The Lore Master finished the stew and rang the dinner bell. She waited until everyone was served before giving the lecture.

“Please eat as I do a quick lecture. I doubt that anyone knows why the things that happened in the tunnel were a hard lesson that needed to be learned and learned well. I sent you through knowing that you would have visions and your senses tested. I too went through the tunnel the first time without knowing what was going on.
Here is the lesson that you should have learned. Never trust your senses when you are in a new situation. Do not trust what you do not know. In the world of magic there are ways to trick a person into thinking that something is what it is not. DO NOT FORGET THIS LESSON! It is very valuable lesson.
This winter we will be doing more with our senses including trying to fool each other into thinking that something is what it is not. Magic is a wonderful thing to have but for those who are not experienced in magic, magic can and will make fools out of each other.
Also going through the tunnel opened the magical core that is inside of each of you. I will teach you more of that when we start classes.

All food supplies will be placed in the large building in the crossroads. I have containers in there that will be filled so that each person will have their own supply of food. There are some kegs of various alcohols that I will allow people to have on special occasions. We need to focus on healthy eating. I will allow people to take the containers and buckets of food after we eat.
Tomorrow, we shall start the day out with the Introduction to Dragons. Speaking of Dragons, the hatchlings will soon be hatching. In fact, they will hatch early in the morning.
Remember to take the basket with you. I have them set up in the warehouse. Each basket will contain a blanket, two towels, container of fruit and one of meat – both are cut up into tiny bits. After you find your dragon- you will hear only one hatchling who has chosen you to bond with- dry it down, speak to it mentally, feed it a bit and bring it out of the volcano. Bring it to the main cave. All of the caves are labeled on the map which I gave you.
Are there any questions?” The Lore Master spoke.

@Aisling

Jen blinked a little at the large amount of information that had just been received, before nodding her head in agreement.

[pkken]

Lance listened to the lecture trying to absorb as much information as possible. He then agreed on what the loremaster had been saying.

[Aisling]

Everyone has picked up their baskets and food then went to sleep! The Time is now 2:00 AM! The ground has started to shake!

[Aisling]

Ixonia was exhausted by the time that Lore Master sent them to their caves. The stew was very good and so was the bread. The work was fast paced and she even helped the Lore Master put the supplies in the Storage Locker before she unloaded her wagon. Now all that she wanted to do is to sleep.........

[BlackPanther]

@Aisling
Eclipse is fast asleep, however even as he is subconcious he reaches out to ixonia. As he gently nudged her mind she should feels a small amount of pressure. This lasts a few seconds. Once the pressure is gone suddenly it becomes rapid succession of mind jabbing. Eclipse is waking up....slowly....

[Aisling]

The Lore Master was awaken and yet she was still exhausted. She felt the shaking of the ground and
knew that the eggs were waking up. She got up and tried to listen for her egg.....

Ixonia sat up with a fear of someone being in the cave with her. She was sure that the cave was closed for the night....She rose up, lit the torch and looked about to see who was there.

[BlackPanther]

@Aisling
Eclipse wakes up the rest of the way and grumbles. He pushes Ixonia's mind a bit harder. He wants to hatch, but for some reason is waiting...as if he wants to make a grand entrance into the world. Not knowing where he is outside of the egg, he simply keeps mind jabbing her. She is going to have an interesting time with this dragon that much is clear.

[Aisling]

@BlackPanther

Ixonia finally remembers that this was the night for the eggs to hatch. She smiles happily as she put her shawl on and grabs the basket.
I coming my little one. Just keep talking to me so that I ca find you.

[BlackPanther]

@Aisling
Eclipse huffs through the mind link he established and nudges a bit more, his way of attempting to show her where he is. That...and he's getting a bit tired of being in his egg. He nudges a bit more then sends the feeling of hunger through the link, finding that he is both constricted and hungry.

As Crystal finally arrived at the Mountain village after my long journey. I walked into the Inn and looked around noticing the the poster on the wall as I read it i looked around for the innkeeper. After i spotted the innkeeper i walked over to where the innkeeper was. "Hi I am here to inquire about the Dragon school." Crystal said.

[pkken]

Lance woke up from the feeling of the ground shaking, he felt something in his mind like there was someone else there. The food lance had at the dinner was great, the stew perfect as well as the bread top quality. He then sat up in hes bed focusing on what is going on.

Riaox grew tiresome of being inside of his egg for so long, he longed to be free from his containment.

@BookGirl1993
"You want to raise a dragon? You'd best go over to my wife in the bar. If she passes you, then you get a free room and supplies." Sam spoke as he stood behind the counter.

Meanwhile, Bessie was cleaning the tables after the rush of people.
