The Queen smiled softly at the young man and his dragon as they came forth. She had heard much of him as he was the talk of the court for many months, but she left such matters to her Chief Commander to deal with things concerning dragons. Once the young man was standing infront of her, she bowed her head slightly before, [color=92278f]"I should have you know that we had a hard time knowing what to do with you. But our Chief Commander has had council with Old Wise and was given the explanation and a solution to your situation. I will let the Chief Commander Valor to explain further."[/color] The Queen said in a kind but strong voice, before she stepped aside for Commander Valor to step forward to be in front of the lad.

As Valor stepped forward he looked every part of what a leader should be, it was both awe-inspiring and slightly intimidating.  [color=8dc73f]"Old Wise told me that one doesn't find eggs easily and that those that seek out dragon eggs are met by mothers so feirce that male dragons stay away. He also said that a mother dragon never abandons her eggs, and that to do so would label the mother or father as a traitor. So for you to find such an egg met great distress for your dragons parents."[/color] He paused for a moment as he looked from the young man to the dragon then back to the young man again, before he continued. [color=8dc73f]"So upon hatching she formed a bond with you instead of her parents, only your bond could kill her. As you see if she were to have bonded to her parents she would of been bonded with her ancestors, thus would not die if her parents were killed. But with you she will, so tread lightly and don't be foolish.'[/color] He gave a stern look before motioning to the Pool of Tears and for the lad to come closer to it.
[color=8dc73f]"Touch the waters and if the waters show you on the back of your dragon while flying, then know that you have been found worthy of becoming a Winged Defender. But if the waters only show you standing on the ground with your dragon, then know that you weren't chosen. But luckily for you, you can have another go at it next year."[/color] With that the Commander stepped back to give more room then waited to see what would happen.
