    flowering tree species, forest.The main buildings are built around the trees,
    in a tree-house style,but the dragon housing is built down by the roots and
    back into theground. Flying can be tricky unless in the designated flight area.
    The weather can be cool, but is often damp after any sort of rain.

    Finn had been attending the Hatchery for two years before coming to Grenmyce. The Hatchery was where you, if you weren't bonded with a dragon yet and were accepted into the Institutes, were assigned your youngling. They were very old in human years but not too old to be immune to most bonding techniques. Finn, as afore mentioned, had been there for two years, helping out and bonding with his youngling, Tulvir.
    It was early in the morning, the mist was still hanging low, when Finn was going to the Dragon Stables. They weren't really stables, just a small network of caverns, where the dragons made their nests. When he reached Tulvir's small cave, the dragon eagerly stood, his body shivering slightly with a hrring noise in his throat, eager to stretch his wings and legs and to fly with Finn.

She had been going to Grenmyce for a couple of years now and was glad she chose this school over the other two. She was one of the lucky ones who didn't have to go to the hatchery to bond with a dragon before going to riding school, so she considered herself lucky for meeting her dragon Tarus when she did. Compared to Rose Tarus was a giant. Easily being over thirty feet tall, but she never scared Rose. In fact Rose loved how tall she was because whenever they went flying it gave her an even better view than before.


    Walking to the stables the blondes boot crunched against the ground quietly. It was pretty chilly out, which is why she was wearing her jacket and boots. Going inside she noticed a boy she hadn't met yet. Maybe he was new here. Luckily his stable was right next to hers. Walking over she peered in and notice that Traus was laying down, "Hey girl." She giggled. Tarus immediately looked up and noticed Rose. She stood and shook her body in an excited way. Turning to the boy Rose gave him a friendly smile, "Hey I'm Rose." She said with a smirk, "Are you new here? I haven't seen you around."

    [fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px solid white; width: 450px; text-align: justify; height: auto; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 130%; margin-top: -8px][hr][justify]Lizzy had awoken to simply falling off the bed. It was common for her to do so. She always ended up either on the floor or the edge of the bed. Quickly opening her window and testing the air, she deemed it worthy enough for a jacket. Closing the window, she quickly dressed in a warm outfit. As she headed out, she grabbed her jacket from behind her door before hurrying for the stables.


    As she headed through the already opened doors, she pulled her brown hair into a high, neat ponytail. She looked over at the two who were already there. Rose Giovanni, a girl who had arrived with Lizzy a couple years ago, was already speaking to another boy. Lizzy hadn't recognized him either. But she was willing to extend the hand of friendship out to him. While Rosw awaited an answer, Lizzy cleared her throat. 'Name's Lizzy. Nice to meet you.' she said kindly. She peered past the blue haired boy and smiled at Rose. 'Morning Rose.'


    With that said and done, Lizzy looked into the cavern. 'Oi! Tenzin, get up!' she said, making her way in. The purple beast snorted at her demand before pulling himself up. He, like Rose's dragon, towered over the brunette. Lowerig his head, Lizzy gently placed her small hands on his snout as she gently rubbed him. Tenzin had always enjoyed this action, for it seemed to calm him. Lizzy smiled as she thought back to when she had met Tenzin. She had bonded with him at a nearby town's hatchery years ago when she was ten. He was always eager to please and was very willing to help.

Tulvir was crooning at him in thanks, for the scale help, when she introduced herself. “Yeah, I am. “ Finn replied, turning around to give her a smile. “I’m Finn.” He stepped forward, greeting both people.
    “Who’s this?” Finn gestured at the dragon behind Rose, after Lilly left. She was huge, bigger than Tulvir by a long shot. Tulvir sat behind Finn, trying to keep his energy contained somewhat. He stayed that way for a few minutes before standing up and slinking over to meet Rose, a curious and mischievous look in his eyes.

They had been going to school together for a few years now and could be considered good friends, "Morning Lizzy." She replied with a smile. Turning back to Finn she smiled brightly and pulled the door opened, it was pretty heavy. Tarus used her head to pushed the door open farther and stepped out. Leaning her big blue head down, Rose was able to rub her head softly, "This is Tarus." She said in regard to Finn's question, "She's my best friend. Traus looked down st the boy and his dragon, tilting her head in curiosity. Who was this new person and dragon. She never seen them before.


    Looking back up Rose noticed that his dragon had made his way over to her, "Well, hello to you too." She said holding her hand up in a sign of respect and once the dragon was comfortable enough she ran her hand over his head gently. Tarus gave a snort of jealously no doubt. Turning to the giant dragon she smirked, "Stop being so jelaous." She teased. Looking at Finn she let go of Tulvir and tilted her head, "How long have you've had him?" She asked curiously.

    ♢Ooc♢~


    ♢Ic♢~ Fala awoke when she heard the humans talking to their dragons. As the only un-bonded dragon there, she was often lonely when they went out for flys. She gave the humans a good morning huff of warm air, blowing their hair back.

The beast stepped out, stretching his wings slightly. He still couldn't open them fully. Not until they reached the flight fields. He looked over at the new dragon and Finn, his own curiousity flashing in her icy blue eyes. Lizzy found those icy orbs to be a bold contrast against her dragon's deep purple scales.


    Lizzy walked over to the two, nodding to Finn as Rose introduced Tarus. When the girl seemed to zone out for a moment, Lizzy realized that she was looking at Finn's dragon. The dragon was smaller than Tarus and Tenzin and seemed younger as well. With Finn being new and all and the dragon's age, she suspected him to be only a couple years old at the least. Lizzy looked over at Fala and smiled as she huffed. 'Morning to you to, Fala.' she said sweetly.

    ♢Ooc♢~


    ♢Ic♢~ Fala let out a content hum to Lizzy, as the girl was one of her favorites. She got along quite well with her dragon too. She stretched her wings, in a way to tell them to stop playing around with the new guy and get to the flying fields. Fala's dark wings shaded the group, and she yawned.

Finn laughed at the spectacle he made, shaking his head at him. He looked up at the lone dragon, who didn’t seem to have anyone around her, a small grin on his face. He heard Lizzy call her Fala, and tucked that away in his brain. “Nice to meet all of you, but I better get Tulvir out of here, before he faints from excitement.” Finn joked, turning around to get the little dragon’s saddle. Tulvir still wasn’t the most amazing flyer yet, so a saddle right now was necessary. The dragon was beside Finn in a flash, standing still so Finn could successfully put it on, the smooth leather sliding comfortably across the shiny dark scales.
    Tulvir wasn’t always the easiest dragon to connect with mentally, for riding, because it took strong concentration to connect the minds, and the dragon wasn’t always very accomodating at times. Today it would be difficult to make the link, at least around a large group, so Finn, after making sure everything was comfortable for both parties, lead Tulvir to the exit.

    ♢Ooc♢~


    ♢Ic♢~ Fala quickly walked to the exit, squeezing past Finn and his dragon. She took off with breath taking speed. She wove quickly and gracefully through the branches, quickly reaching the place where they would be training the dragon for agility. It was a fairly open space with a few branches for the dragons to doge. This would increase agility and the riders' ability to move with their dragon.

Chuckling as Fala gave a silent cue to get going, Lizzy moved over to Tenzin and rubbed his shoulder. 'Ready big guy?' she asked softly. Tenzin lowered himself, allowing Lizzy to climb on. She had trained enough with him to be able to train without the saddle. Taking a deep breath, she honed in on Tenzin and established a connection. They quickly followed Fala, Tenzin and Lizzy waiting for Rose and Finn outside. Lizzy and Rose usually took time to talk in the mornings before training as they headed for the fields.

In a few months she would've had Tarus for over eight years now. After Finn and his dragon were getting ready to leave Rose mentioned for Tarus to let her head down. She was well trained and didn't need a Seattle like Lizzy didn't. Once the giants head was down, Dose grabbed onto her horns and climbed onto her neck like they practiced. Following the two fellow riders and Fala out of the stables. Rose and Tarus soon caught up with Lizzy and Rose smiled at her friend, "Do you think we could possibly have another one of our races today?" Sometimes once they got to the field and open air Lizzy and Rose would sometimes have races against their dragons. Since they were both the same size it was usually a very good race to witness.

He still felt a little woozy doing this, like someone was staring into the darkest parts of you, and when he closed his eyes, he could sense what Tulvir was sensing and, when the link was at its strongest, see what he was seeing.
    Right now he felt a mild sense of excitement, because Tulvir was racing away to zoom around a bit, before letting FInn mount up.
    Tulvir took off swiftly, albeit a little clumsily, but soared into the air quickly, and carefully circled around the fields, the giant trees looking small beneath them.
    Finn took deep breaths and closed his eyes, deepening the connection so both could experience together the flight. Tulvir came in to land at Finn’s prompting, to adjust the saddle a little and to practice taking off and landing.

With a smile she nodded. Tarus and Tenzin where mainly the same size and watching them soar about trying to beat the other to the field was rather fun for others to watch. 'You're on.' she said. Tenzin shuffled slightly as Lizzy agreed to the race. Slowly stretching out his wings, the dragon let out a hum of excitement.

    ♢Ooc♢~


    ♢Ic♢~ Fala waited for the others, and shot out red fire when she saw that Lizzy and Rose would be racing. She then blew out a slightly hotter flame and it came out blue-green. She was excited for the lesson to start. This was a very important day. She would be speaking only to the dragons today, and they wouldn't be able to speak with their riders at all this lesson.

Rose had to rub her head to calm her down. It was obvious she was eager to spread her wings and fly in the sky. So didn't Rose. It's one of the things that bonded them together. You needed to have complete trust in your dragon or there would be no point in you having a dragon in the first place. If you were a beginner and happened to fall off your dragon your first time falling, you had to trust your dragon to catch you before you fell to your death. That was complete trust and bond. The rider also had to have respect in the dragon. Turning to Lizzy she smiled brightly, "You ready?" She asked with a grin. Tarus seemed to be ready too. Her wings opened in preparation to take flight.

Finn slid off for the moment, sitting on the wide branch easily. With his blue hair pushed back from the short burst of flying and the warmth radiating from the dragon he had bonded with, Finn felt his heart leap, either from happiness or from Tulvir's exubarance, he felt excited. He watched Fala oversee everything expertly, and wondered if she had a bond with anyone, he assumed not, as bonded usually stuck close together, and there wasn't anyone around really.

    ♢Ooc♢~


    ♢Ic♢~ Fala quickly gave a snort, smoke coming out of her nostrils. That was the signal for the dragons to disconnect their communication with their rider. She flew through a short course to show them what they had to do. She maneuvered through it easily, but she knew that these dragons were also younger and more awkward than she.
