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

[BlackPanther]

@Aisling
Eclipse gently bumps the bottom of her jaw. Much like how a cat would head bump their owners. He seems to be a bit of the silent type...either that or he is simply tired. Oddly, even though he is an ice dragon he feels warm.

[Aisling]

@BlackPanther Ixonia was surprised but very happy about the head butt. She scratch the ridge of his head and smiled. Soon they were at the cave.
"This is our home, Eclipse. I have a nice bed that you can rest in for a while. I need a nap. You might want to take a nap too." Ixonia spoke as sh sat him in the basket.

[Aisling]

@2b3heart
The Lore master smiled and spoke softly
"Bless you, Umbra. We'll soon be home.... but you are asleep now. Oh well....."
The Lore Master went inside her cave and put Umbra into her comfy basket then covered the sleeping dragon up. The Lore Master was tired so she went back to bed.

"Well Riaox I am about to go to sleep" lance said fixing Riaox's bed. "You can sleep here," he placed it next to the table."goodnight buddy" lance said hopping into bed he was still tired.

Riaox yawned, "Okay human" Riaox walked over to his bed and felt the text of the cloth on his paws. He let out a small sneeze then layed down, he began to think about what else will he discovers and soon was dosing off.

[BlackPanther]

@Aisling
Eclipse sits in the basket, watching Ixonia go back to bed. Once she was laying down he scrambles out of the basket. Once on the floor he hops to her bed. Grasping the sheets and such with his front paws he climbs up to her. Climbing over her he makes it to her pillow. With a yawn he gets to the pillow and curls up next to her head.

@BlackPanther

Ixonia was soon asleep but felt something in her bed. She reach out and found a little dragon.

"Eclipse. I thought that I put you in your basket.... I guess that you can sleep with me tonight. But not every night." she whispered as she put some cover over him before drifting off to sleep again.

"Now that we are caught up, I will give you this paper to fill out and then another Scroll." Bessie spoke once more.

"Now comes the time where you will sign a blood contract. Each of you will receive a small black box tied up with red ribbon. This box will contain a blood pen. The blood pen is a simple gadget that will prick your finger and let the blood flow into the tip so that you can sign this document with your own blood. I will be the first to sign.” She spoke calmly as she picked up one of the boxes and passes them out to each person.
“Please read and sign at the bottom with the status of Student of Dragonopia Academy.” Bessie spoke as she rolled out a sheet of enchanted parchment paper. She then read the Binding Vow:

I, the undersign, do declare to have the desire to be a Dragon Rider. I shall obey the rules of Dragonopia Academy and will respect all who enters Dragonopia. I will listen and take advice of The Lore Master. I will take good care of the Dragonling that chooses me. I will raise the Dragonling with care, love and patience. My Dragonling and I will be a team of the famed Dragon Riders who will defend Justice, Law and Order.
I have been told of what happen before. I will remember the past Dragon Riders and how they failed. I will live my life by the Laws of Justice and Order. I will stay informed of any new Laws of Justice and Order and will uphold them. I shall strive to be the best that I can be.
I will have five years of raising a Dragonling and will give five years of service to the Dragonopia Academy in repayment for the education, supplies, housing, clothing and Dragonling.
I, the undersigned, so do declare to uphold these vows and will renew the vows as deemed necessary by my Lore Master. My signature is written in my own blood which will seal this vow to my heart. May I feel the pain of Death should I ever stray away from these vows.

If you agree, please open a box and sign your name to your scroll."

@Aisling

Umbra slowly opened her eyes. She let out a soft yawn, stretching out her front legs. Her stomach growled and she looked around for Mystique. Finding her in her bed, Umbra crawled out of between the covers and out of the basket. She climbed up into her rider's bed and started nudging her hand. Momma! I'm hungry!

[Aisling]

@2b3heart
The Lore Master reached out and scratched Umbra's head.
"Alright, I'll get up. Want more fish?"
She got up and went to the kitchen area to find something for Umbra to eat.

[Eklispe]

Bristle read over it carefully, he didn't want to sign his soul away or anything. It seemed alright. Bristle reluctantly pricked his finger, wincing at the small pain and signed the page. Pain of death was perhaps a little excessive but he didn't plan on breaking any of these so he should be fine. "What now?"

Name: Bristle
Why you wish to join the Academy: To have a purpose
Where is your nearest relative: N/A
Anything else you wish to add: Nah

[BookGirl1993]

@Aisling

As Bessie read the Binding vow and then said that if we agree to sign our scroll I picked up the pen and felt the prick to draw my blood into the tip I signed and the filled out the paper. Putting the pen down again. Looking up at Bessie.

Name: Crystal Starr
Why you wish to join the Academy: I wish to join the Academy because I wish to serve under The Laws of Justice and Order. To become strong and protect others while abiding by The Laws of Justice and Order.
Where is your nearest relative: My parents and brother were killed just under a year. Any other relative I may have no longer speak to me.
Anything else you wish to add: There is nothing else I wish to add.

"Next we go to the Gypsy Store and you may buy what you need.
Each of you will receive a bag of coins. Fifty of each copper, bronze, silver and gold as a sign on bonus. You will get this money one time. The rest of the money you will earn while you are at Dragonopia Academy. The Lore Master will explain what you may do to earn more money when you have class. Usually it is things that you have crafted or raised as a crop.

Each of you will have a wagon to load. In that wagon are your starting supplies. The starting supplies are:
One trunk will contain pieces of leather.
One trunk that contains a hand press and dies.
One trunk that contains metal and a shape cutter.
One trunk that will contain leather protective garments.
One trunk that will contain various beads and such ornaments.
One trunk that will contain a variety of books such as Leather Making, Basket Weaving, Herbal Gardening, and other useful informational books.

All magick books are at Dragonopia and The Lore Master will issue you them as you need them. She has wands and staffs as well if you wish to learn how to use them.
This is what you need to buy for yourself. You will want to get a bed, table, chairs, kitchen equipment, blankets, at least 4 buckets, an axe, saw, baskets. If you want other things, buy it now for you will not be back here until spring. There is no need to get food stuff because The Lore Master has plenty in Dragonopia. You might want to get fishing tackle for there is a lake there and if you like fish." Bessie spoke as she placed a bag of coins in front of the newest Dragon Riders.

"Now please come with me and you can barter with me for the items that you want." Bessie lead them out of the door and across the street to a large store where she opened the front door.

"Please come in and browse. Just keep in mind that you must leave at 2 AM. Sam will guide you to the Tunnel."

[2b3heart]

Umbra nodded, wagging her tail. She followed Mystique over to the kitchen and began to snoop around. Managing to get into a cabinet, Umbra started to play with the pots and pans.

@2b3heart

"Umbra, I have some fish here in the cupboard. Not in the pots and pans." The Lore Master spoke calmly as she took the bits of fish and put some into the bowl. She then placed the bowl by the table.
"Come Umbra! Breakfast time."

[BookGirl1993]

@Aisling

I picked up the bag of coins and placed it into my own bag so i was not carrying it out in the open. As I followed Bessie out and across the street to the store. A the door open and I walked inside and turned to Bessie. "You mentioned a wagon and starting supplies? Where is the wagon and supplies found so when I purchase these list of items I can place them on the wagon." I asked. Knowing that after this I was heading to the Bed and blankets first.

[Aisling]

@BookGirl1993

"Your wagon will be this one here and Bristle may have the one next to you. The wagons will be hitched up and waiting for you outside of the Inn in the morning." Bessie walked to the back of the warehouse.
"Anything on this side of the room is allowed to be bought. The larger items such as beds and desks are at this end while smaller items like crafts are at the far end. Also you may use a use to place your small items in. There are some clothing in the middle that you might like as well."

[BookGirl1993]

@Aisling
I nod at bessie "Thank you Bessie and who do I call when I have decided on things and wish to know the prices of the items." I inquired.

[Eklispe]

Bristle's eyes widened at the bag of coins in front of him. Probably the most money he'd seen in his life. Though he wondered if it wouldn't have been easier for them to just get the stuff without having to buy it. She was giving them money to buy from her. Eh, people were weird. Biggest thing first, a bed. He didn't really need a bed, maybe a pad and a sleeping bag but not a bed. Opting against it he searched for the other supplies first. After getting most of the stuff in a giant pile he took out his purse and counted out 30 gold pieces and 30 silvers. "This should cover it right?" He had everything there short of the bed piled up and ready to be moved out into the wagon. This was the best decision he ever made, soo much money and free stuff. It would be silly not to go through with it.

[Aisling]

@BookGirl1993

"Just give me a call when you are ready." bessie spoke.

@Eklispe

Bessie walked around the pile then asked a question.
"You don't have a bed here. I'll let you know this much about the Academy. You will be sleeping in a cave and if you don't get a bed and enough blankets, you will wake up with a sore frozen back. You will work from dawn to dusk as well. About half will be hard physical work. The snow falls deep in the village as well."

[BookGirl1993]

@Aisling

I nod at Bessie and go find my stuff I pick out a decent size bed big enough for just me and then proceed to the blankets picking out two heavy one blankets, one light blanket for when it warm during the the night and a pillow. Once I have those picked out. I go for the kitchen equipment utensils, dishes, pots and pans. I grab a small table and four chairs. I grab 5 buckets, an axe, saw, baskets. I also grab some fishing equipment and a new rod. And last but not leas some extra clothes for warm and cold weather and also an extra chest. "Bessie." I call out for her as I gathered everything up. To see if it was good.
