Dead

{{Thanks. Alright, gotcha. I'll make a post now}}

Tamesis leaned against Caderyn, his eyes catching on two of the students, Opal and Sonja. He walked towards them. "Opal, Sonja" he said, his arms still crossed, his voice husky, "you'll be training with me. I have a few ground rules, which, should you follow, will help me train you to become full fledged dragon riders. Is that understood?" He looked down at the two teenagers. "First rule" he said, putting up a finger on his left hand, "you will listen to me no matter what. If I say stop, you stop. If I say run, you run. If I say fight, you fight. Got it? Second rule", second finger, "no magic, or swordfighting out of lessons. I once taught a boy who exerted too much pressure on himself while practising magic. He died. Got it? Third rule", third finger, "you will train as hard as you possibly can. I dont want quitters by my side." He dropped his hand, and put his hands on his hips. "Caderyn and I trained with Oromis when we were younglings like you, therefore we shall adapt his style of teaching. Caderyn will take your dragons off training most of the time, teaching them airial manourvers, stamina, speed, and how to increase their firebreathing intensity and time. I shall be teaching you, swordsplay, fist-fighting, archery, and magic. When our lessons are over, I will then begin sessions that will teach you about our history, the ways or the rider, connections between dragon and rider. If either of you don't have a sword, I recommend that you see the blacksmith immediatly." He finished his speech, and looked down at his two students, the corners of his lips twitching in a smile.

Opal looked up at his teacher, his intense eyes finding his teacher's. "Then it will sadden you to know of my mentor's death," his voice was tense and his hand on the sword by his side. He followed his new mentor willingly, though he remembered his original one. Glancing sideways at Sonja, he moved with the grace of the elves.

Lithium turned her eyes on her two new apprentices and it made her think of her original one who died in the Fall. She shook her head of the memories and moved swiftly towards the outside of the courtyard where the fields were. "Deron, your dragon is too small for you to ride, so you will ride Othra if that is ok with him." She raised an eyebrow at her dragon who replied, Of course. Once upon a time our apprentices used to, before their own dragons were big enough. "Morgan, is your dragon big enough for you to ride?" Lithium asked, turning to face her elder student.

Tamesis, who was born human, moved less fluidly as he turned his head to look at Opal. "I have heard of it. It is a great sadness. He will be missed" he said with a small bow of his head. He looked back over his shoulder at Caderyn, who moved to Tamesis's side.
Younglings came Caderyn's voice to the dragons before him. How is your fire breathing?
Tamesis, whose eyes had flickered to Caderyn for a second, said to his two students, "We will be working on basic swordplay today, and this afternoon I shall test you on how much you know and understand of the riders' history."

Morgan nodded sharply, her eyes flickering to Ziva who was once again distracted. The iridescantly scaled dragon was snapping eagerly at a butterfly. "I can ride her, but not for long periods of time. I...we need to improve her...our stamina if we are to take on Galbartoix". A flicker of annoyance was cast across Morgans face at the constant sound of Ziva's snapping jaw. She wished that she would pay attention, and her fists clenched from behind her back.

Sonja did not move with any type of grace whatsoever, but her legs got her where she wanted them to, and that was enough for her. She caught up with her mentor and fellow apprentice, Evangeline by her side. I'm not big enough to carry you. Sonja glanced at the emerald-green dragon who was only a bit taller than herself. I know. But you'll get big enough, soon enough. What I'm worried about is this test thing. I've never had any use for history or anything. I only know that Galbatorix took over, but I don't even know when. I only know stuff about farming. Evvy pressed her scaled head, with the stubbly horns poking out of the top, lightly against Sonja' shoulder. Don't worry. Everything will be fine.

"Don't worry, we won't be flying for long." Lithium said, nodding gently. "Ziva will gain stamina when she is ready. She is only young, and won't be able to fly for as long as Othra. He's had nearly two centuries practice." She looked down at Deron, and told him, "Tell your dragon, Andrae, to fly next to us. It will build up his strength and stamina."

Opal followed ever more swiftly, sword-fighting being one of his favourite things. I am able to breathe fire for at least ten minutes, and whatever I aim at glows white. Tia told Caderyn, quite smug. Her rider sighed, but seemed to be quite pleased with her.

He turned slightly to look at Sonja, and held out his hand. "Hello. I'm Opal Nakmuria, and my dragon here is Tia. Don't worry, I don't bite." He smiled a crooked smile as he walked, slowing down to her pace.

((Sorry, I have writer's block. I think we should wait until the others post.))

Sonja smiled back and chuckled quietly at his words. "I'm Sonja Wende- this is Evangeline." The green dragon looked Opal over, sizing him up, then sent a thought to her friend. He seems okay. The girl looked ahead, then asked Opal, "Do you know where the blacksmith is? I don't exactly have a sword- it's not your everyday farming implement."

[ωιитєяfℓу]

Opal raised an eyebrow, though he gave her the answer. "It's behind the main school, I can take you there if you want. I'm used to finding the right sort of sword for people because, back with the elves, I used to help Rhunon-elder in the forge. That was before I found out about my aunt on my dad's side being a rider. Then I started training with magic." He looked at her dragon, unsure of what to say. "Uh, nice meeting you Sonja and Evangeline."

Oh, don't mind him. He's always unsure of what to say. Tia's voice was dry as she projected her words into Evangeline's and Sonja's minds. Like he said before, I'm the dragon. She glided along beside them, not exactly built for the ground.

Caderyn and Tamesis followed the two youngsters, talking between themselves and commenting on their students. "Meet us here in an hour, Caderyn will take the dragons to the mountains to fly, while I shall talk to you about your training." Tamesis called to the two infront.

Morgan nodded stiffly, standing stock still. Excitement was building up inside of her. This was it, she was really about to start training properly! She had waited for this day since Ziva had chosen her, and had been estimating at what time they could join. It had always been her dream, and she felt that it was her destiny to go up against Galbartoix. A deep hate rose up inside of her, and she smirked to herself.

"Thank you," said Sonja. "I grew up on a farm on the outskirts of the Hadarac Desert- there's not much there but sun and sand. I know a little about fighting and a lot about farming, but not much else." She sighed, and laid a hand on Evvy's head. The green dragon tried to tell Tia that Sonja was just being pessimistic, but she was too young to know how to project her thoughts into another dragon's mind.
