[color=bc8dbf]"Today we are going to talk about the dragons. We do not have all the types of dragons yet. They are hidden in this valley and will be released when it is time.
and I will give you a bit about each of the dragons.
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.
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.

When you feel the call of your dragonling, go to the cave and follow your seventh sense to you new baby. Here is a list of items that you will need:
Soft blanket
Basket or cart to carry things in- maybe even the hatchling.
the first food (follow the urging of the seventh sense)
Remember to keep the eggshell of your hatchling for the times when it has an upset tummy.
Sometimes the dragonling will have upset tummies because it is not used to the new food it receives after it is hatched.
I will give each of you the recipe for tummy ailments at the end of the lecture.

The newly hatched dragonlings will be very hungry and might mistake your fingers for food so you must be very careful when feed your new baby. Like all babies they need to be fed often which is why they are allowed in classrooms when they are quite young.
All of the dragonlings must be fed ground food or minced food. Each type of dragonling will prefer to have certain diet.
Carnivorous dragonlings will want ground meat while the herbivores will want plants.
As the dragonlings grow, their needs must be met so it wise to start oiling the ones with leathery skin, brushing the furry ones, rubbing the ones with scales with a soft cloth so that any kind of debris will be brushed off and keep the dragonling's body looking and feeling good.
You will need to check their mouths for teeth coming in, becoming decayed, chipped or broken before the next set comes in. Teeth on a dragonling will emerge as they begin to be able to eat chunks of meat or able to tear the plants themselves. These teeth are considered their baby teeth. The dragonlings will be cranky and are easy to anger. Each dragon are now developing their own personalities and you can help them be what you wish them to be by encouraging some traits while discouraging and even ignoring other traits if possible. You must be patient and know not only what you want in your dragon but what your dragon can actually realistically do.
Here is the recipe for any tummy ailments.
1/4 cup of powdered egg shell
8 cups of boiling water
Boil the water then place the egg shell in the water. Stir until it has dissolved. It can be made ahead and kept for future use."
The Lore Master spoke.
"Are there any questions?"
