OK. Lets just start the roleplay. But above, put in (())'s put if your getting a dragon, a dragon looking for a rider, or just there to help. ^^
Cora - Getting a dragon
Kato - Going to be Coras dragon))

Cora came strutting in, like usual these days, her rider whip was held firmly in her hands. Royal guards came with her, pointing at interesting dragons, mostly black ones. Everyone believed that she would bond with a black dragon, the rarest of all, and which most royals did. She was so afraid that she wouldnt, and she would dissapoint her family. She shook the thought off, eyes in there normal cool determinaton. She walked straight for the black dragons; she defiantly liked the one with the green eyes. She walked forward, feeling its scales it tail glowed darkly, and she stepped away. "Not really my type anyways.." she murmered, moving on.

She had visited every black dragon but one. It was staring back at her with vicious blue eyes, and she almost winced at his gaze. She kind of knew how people felt when they saw her. She shook of the thought, not wanting to think about her self being that kind of scary. She walked up, sending a worried glance back at the guards they stood still, staring at her, eyes round with interest. She felt its scales, and for a moment she thought she saw its tail light up white, and her eyes flashed with hope. But that hope went black again, in fact, blacker than before they had lighted up. The tail was glowing darkly. The guardians moaned quitely, and exchanged glances. She sighed, knowing what this meant. She was a dissapointment!

She cooled her self down, getting up, she brushed her self up. She sent a death defying glare at everyone, and moved on to the next group. Red dragons! Ha! They wouldnt dare glow there little stinken tails at her! She would HATE having one of these red dragons, they were so un rare! Thankfully, she got out from that batch with out any glowing tails. But she still had the green dragons, and the blue dragons, which also made her heart sink when she thought about them being her dragon. Royals were suppost to have the finest dragons! She huffed, walking over with a scowl on her face.

She had passes the blues with no harm, but the green dragons kept nagging at the back of her head. She swerved, braking the circle and heading for the Bronze dragons. I guess one of these wouldnt be SO bad after all, there the forth rarest. Not a black, but at least there rare enough that theres only about five of them there. She felt there scales, and it was a bitter sweet moment when none of there tails lit up gleefully. She sighed, walking over to the greens with a head held high, and fists clenched beside her thighs. She let out a huge gasp of relief as she came out of that batch, no dragon following her with a lit up tail. I guess that leaves purples, silver, and gold. All of them were much better..still not blacks, but..much better than a green at that!

First she tried the purples. "Wonderful scales you guys have." she said gently, in a mothering voice. She saw the guards faces ataken back at her kindness, and she shooed them away so she could gnetly clean there scales. Now she was hoping for a purple dragon, they were so friendly and pretty! But, never the more, the purple batch was not for her. She move don, waving good bye to them and frowning gently and she walked away. She sighed, but her eyes lit up at that moment. That meant that she was going to get a silver or gold! Oh goodness, mummy and daddy will be so proud! She squealed, running towards the two left groups.

She had walked in to the silver group with happiness. She didnt mind silver dragons, they were elegant, and not to mention cocky. Just liked she liked it! She felt there scales quickly, and she sucked up air quickly as she realized, as none of the tails glowed up with white, that her dragon was going to be gold. She wouldnt be a dissapointment at all! Golds are only one step down from the blacks, oh her parents would just be so pleased! She walked in to the carrel, touching every singles one scales. None of them lit up. She started to break in to tears. There was no dragon for her?

Suddenly she whipped around a hissing noise. Perched on of the ceiling bars, there was a loner golden dragon with peircing red eyes. That had to be her dragon, he had too! The guards quickly came over to her, whispering to her about how that dragons not safe, hes untameable! hes been in this nursery for five years longer than he should have been! But she shooed them away, eyes once again cold with determination. She walked forward, felt his scales, and his tail glowed up white.

[Storm]

(OK
Ebony meets Hielo and lets see if she will accept her xD))

A pretty blonde girl walked casualy into the nursery.She smiled as she saw young dragons rolling around,flying or just playing everyhwere,She looked around and saw an older ice blue female dragon.She walked over to her and looked at her."Hey Hielo!" she said smiling.She had never actualy tried to see if her tail would glow white and she wasnt sure if she was today.She didnt really come to look for a dragon today, she was just bored and wanted to spend time with them."How are you doing?" she asked her pale, amost grey, blue eyes sparked as she attemped to rub the dragons head softly.She smiled and she leaned over a bit to pat the dragon better.Her light wavy blonde hiar bounced by her side,as she was leaning over.

[Niki]

Cora, with out hesitation, ran to the side of the nursery. She picked up her saddle, clothes, and newer whip which her parents had left there for her. She ran back, she was surprised at her dragon, for he would hiss at everyone else, but when she came close he would simply just stand there. She shrugged it off, putting the saddle on him she hopped on. She padded his side, meaning to walk, as they havnt learned how to fly yet and what signle meant what. "Bring me to the trainers." she ordered, and the dragon did a small nod. Fluffing out its spikes, it ran forward, knocking people off of there feet as he zoomed out of the small barn full of running, playful, (noisy too) baby dragons, all hoping for a owner, like Cora to him, to come and just scoop them up, and off they would go to find the trainers!

[-100 C° (COLD)]

C A T O

It was a day off. For good behaviour, the trainers had said. It was a joke, a bad one, but ever the nice-guy Cato had laughed in his polite way. He hadn't visited the Keep for a few days. They were going through drills so he was too busy. It was a hopeful day for him, a few dragons had reached full size in the last three days. Maybe he would finally get his. Anyhow, he was going to all those colors with new dragons for him to choose from.
As usual he went first to the reds. While not the rarest he liked how they had different ranges of shades for their scales. Going to each of the dragons, he looked into each of their eyes. But whenever he glanced back to those tails, black was all that glowed.
Up next was silver. Cato had a particular love for these guys. Silver was the first dragons he'd ever met, so of course he was partial to those glimmering, elegant scales. The personalities of those young ones were charming, too. But his grin faltered as each tail shone only black.
To green he went. He loved the dark green dragons, with their grassy appearance. As he rubbed those scales, glancing back towards the tails, his heart fell. No white was showing. Just black.
Up next came the gold. He'd noticed Cora, the High Lords daughter, had gotten one. Maybe that was an omen. Would he get a handsome glittering gold dragon? Walking up to them he took particular caution as he rubbed the scales. One of them nosed him, but even with that one, it's tail showed only black. That left the blacks. What if...?
Shakily, he stepped up to the rarest color. Immediately he walked up to the new one, and bravely put his hand up to him.
(Cue Drake~)

[Niki]

Cora is going be so mad. O.O))

[Rhyme]

Hielo lay in the nursery, honestly she was perhaps one of the oldest dragons to not have a rider. The icy blue dragon tossed her head irritably, nobody was just right! Who was supposed to be her rider? Who was going to be her best friend? Tongue flicking out she hissed softly, more kids were coming to get their dragons. Snorting out a ring of smoke she went and laid down in the corner.
Not but a few moments later kids flocked into the nursery, pointing and gasping at the array of dragons. A few pointed a Hielo but not many, she simply looked a bit to.. Scary.. For the children. A few brave ones came to say hello however, and Hielo like the polite dragon she was let them poke and pet her. Of course she looked hard at every single one, one of them was almost just right. Sighing unhappily her tail pulsated an unhappy black aura, the none of the kids were meant to be her rider. Mary, one of the children reached up and pet her above her eye gently, whispering. '' Don't worry, Hielo, you'll find someone just for you. '' Rumbling unhappily the dragon pouted and rested her head on her front legs.
An hour or two passed and most of the children had found their friends for life, or gone home disappointed. Flicking her tail she spotted another child enter, it was Ebony. Ebony was 15 and still didn't have a dragon, so maybe she understood what Hielo went through for hundreds of years. She watched as Ebony waved to her and walked up to her, like an old friend. Letting out a rumbling sound when Ebony said hello. When she was pet Hielo experienced something.. Different.. How.. Odd. How strange.. She thought, staring at Ebony curiously her eyes narrowed slightly
Looking carefully at Ebony she saw the true her, not sweet and kind like Mary. Though she wasn't a bit brutish bully like Brock. Licking her lips she watched her carefully, rebellious with a kind heart but a taste for danger. Hielo liked it. Suddenly, quite suddenly in fact she felt a familiar tingle in her tail. Though something was different, it wasn't the depressing tingle of a black tail.. No, it was refreshing and new, the start of something. The start of Ebony and Hielo's unbreakable and life changing friendship, thats what Hielo's white glowing tail said.

[Niki]

aww. xD -felt need to say that-))

[Storm]

(Can like Dragons and thier Riders talk to each other? ))

Ebony smiled at the dragon,when she finally noticed the white tail."Wai-Wha-White?" she stuttered,and then looked back at Hielo's face.She had finally found a best friend,and she understood her."Guess we were meant to be" she smiled,her soft blue eyes rippling at the thought that after 5 years of failure she ahd finally found her dragon.She smiled and hugged the dragons neck,and her blonde hair fell abck into its normal place."Ok, Come on lets go" she smiled,and walked out of the nursery,making sure Hielo was following.She was greatful that this beautiful dragon had chosen her,and she knew that they would get along great for thier lives where practicly the same.

A large black dragon was tussling with another one trying to prove he was the strongest.He was pinning the larger one down he looked up to see a 16 year old trying to put his hadn on him.Drake hissed slightly,and then his then black eyes started glowing thier real color, a bright hell colored red.He walked up to the male,and his finned tail waved behind him.He looked at him,and let him pet him.His eyes where growing a bright red.His black scales rippled greatly,and his purple fins started frilling out.He felt something odd on his tail.Not the feeling of the annoying black,but a light happy feeling.He looked back to see his tail was glowing a snow white.

[Niki]

who owns Drake again? -puts on glasses and flips through book-))

[-100 C° (COLD)]

(CatoDrake, I play Cato, Stormeh plays Drake)

[Niki]

ok))

[Rhyme]

Hielo watched Ebony for a moment her blue eyes glowing, she almost appeared to be chuckling. Then she felt something in her mind, something foreign to her. Wiggling into it she immediately knew what it was.
Hello, Ebony. Her voice echoed inside Ebonys head. The blue dragon never thought this day would come! She finally got her rider, and it was Ebony!~ Oh happy day. If Ebony was focusing on the part of their minds that were connected she would probably see a lot of happy pictures and thoughts. Getting up she quickly made her way after Ebony, finally out of this stupid nursery! Once out the door she spread her wings out wide, finally room to stretch.

[ryvnkesler20]

Ryvn was quiet, standing at the back of the nursery, watching the new riders coming up. It had been nine years in all since he'd been coming to try and bond with a dragon, but now here he was, practically adult, but still in training. There were a lot of growing pains involved, including staying in training for almost six years. He was one of the senior members, an aide, technically helping the trainers with the newer recruits. As he quietly shifted, watching the kids get their dragons, he felt uneasy, face nearly emotionless and trying to calculate his chances of getting a dragon once the others were done. He resisted the urge to jump into line, content just to sit back and watch the others. He was quiet naturally, but he always measured his chances, always looked before he leapt. Perhaps that was why he hadn't been back in the nursery for almost two years.

[Niki]

that was weird, at first I thought you were talking as a dragon then realized it was a rider. o.o))

[ryvnkesler20]

(sorry 'bout that ^^

[Niki]

hahaha, no problom.))

[Eiry]

Ico could only stare at the guardian who kept him from entering. Something about, 'not getting into trouble.' Pfft, the obviously didn't realize who we forcing to wait. Well, it was also not like Ico could do much; he did after all cause a bit of trouble here in the pass. Not only that but apparently an 'important person' was getting dragons. Ico seriously wanted to just push the old guy aside.He must've thought the boy an idiot; everyone knew it was the High Lord's daughter coming for her dragon today and apparently little Ico was just too much of a bad influence to be allowed near her 'highness's' presense.

He could only guess how long it had taken, feeling just about ready to storm in himself; when he saw a golden flash disappear toward who knew where. Ico could've cared less, he just wanted in. In one of his irritated tones the boy nearly growled at the guardian, Old man... I'm not going to stand here all day am I? The guardian glanced over his shoulder, then finally after what felt like an eternity, he moved aside. Golden hair flashed as Ico nearly charged his way in with a relieved sigh, still a bit irritated that he had to wait for so long but now he could go off to find his dragon... but now there was another problem... Where would he start? He shrugged and charged off to the nearest dragon, not even caring for the color really.

[ryvnkesler20]

He remained cautious of stepping out from the back and actually presenting himself, however, when the younger boy barged in and just stepped forward, Ryvn rolled his eyes and followed after. It was not like he was missing anything. The High Lord's little brat had already received her dragon, so it wasn't like he was missing out on anything. He followed closely after the overzealous ten year old competitionee. The gung-ho attitude got people killed, and he couldn't stand kids with that attitude partially because always looked before he leapt. As he approached the sands, he drew in a deep breath, finally taking a step out from his spot closest to the entrance. He was unsure of if he'd be selected this time, or if he'd be turned down like so many other times.

Perhaps he was over calculating his chances, or perhaps he was just paralyzed by fear, whatever it had been, he shoved it aside and stepped forward, finally ready to present himself again. As he stepped up, he began wondering where he should start. He wanted to pass over all of the colors at least once. Red, blue, black, green, gold, silver, bronze, and a few others as well. He just continued to make his way around, curious as to what color would accept him if he was accepted. If not, there was always another year ahead.

[Storm]

A dark purple dragoness was sitting alone at imbetween teh purple and black dragons.THe people thier werent sure if she was black or purple,so she was just thier.IN the middle.She looked around to see if anyone was coming adn she spotted a young blonde boy.She flicked her tail gently,and watched him.He seemed funny, brave, and a playful boy.She looked around and saw Ryvn and blinked at him,but he gaze was pulled abck to the boy, Ico.She looked around and saw that he charged towards her and she got startled and fell backwards letting out a small hiss.

[Eiry]

Ico didn't even take notice of the guy who had followed after him. He didn't even notice which way he was headed until he heard a thud a small hiss. It might've been the thud that brought the boy's attention back to reality but it was definitely the hiss that brought his mind back from its self irritation to see a black... or was it a purple? Who cared, Ico's attention was on a dragon who had fallen backward. Now that was something you didn't see everyday. He slowed his pace down until he was at a moderate walk; now facing directly toward the fallen dragon. His curiosity drew close toward the dragon.

You okay? The boy couldn't help but ask even though he knew that the dark reptile wouldn't be able to actually 'talk' to him. After all, it couldn't have been a very comfortable fall, especially for a dragon with its wings and all. He was so tempted to go up next to the dark dragon and poke it like a small child seeing a caterpillar for the first time. He would've too if not for his follower. Even if Ico did finally notice the guy behind him, he certainly didn't bother to show that he did take notice.

[Storm]

Xantara got to her feet and looked at the boy.Her piecing yellow eyes narrowed on him.Her wings were rather iching,and she 'sighed'.She tried to nod,and she walked towards the boy and sat infront of him her tail curling around him.She looked at him and she wondered,he seemed caring yet spunky yet brave.She liked him.She knew he could talk to her but she couldnt talk back.she let out a small rawr.She stretched out her wings ,since tehy were still sore but quickly getting better.She looked at teh young boy and loped foward as if wanting him to pet her.

[ryvnkesler20]

Ryvn shook his head and sighed, following after concerned for the dragon. "You may want to watch how quickly you jump into situations. Next time, the startled individual may not be so inclined to just hiss." He said softly, smiling slightly, giving a suggestion to Ico. He was older, more experienced, and a mentor over all to the younger riders, even though he himself was not a rider. His calm, collected tone shifted into a kind suggestion, even though the fluctuations were gruff due to him already gone through the maturation period.

He smiled and turned back to the purple dragons, standing alongside Ico. "May the wind be at your back, competitionee." He said calmly. He knew most everyone in the town, but some people's names escaped him. However, he had memorized faces and rank, that was all he needed to know. Before he spoke, he wasn't sure if the ten year old boy had noticed him at all, he wasn't even sure if Ico had noticed him watching him, watching the way he moved, him just rushing ahead, not paying attention to his surroundings. It wasn't anything wrong, but he enjoyed studying people and their behavioral patterns.

[Enzair]

His First time ever in the Nursery, and so far nothing, He was disappointed so far, but he knew that some have been here for years. And on top of that he was the only black that stood out from the rest, with his purple color. Perhaps they will show different colors in time.

Enzair was probably the youngest hatchling here, well at least in the blacks, he does not know about the others. Enzair walked up to the edge and lied down, closest to the entrance where. The other blacks did not seem to care, in fact they seemed to flat out ignore or even acknowledge Enzair. Not because his other color, he had friends, younger friends. But here he was the newbie, and it seemed like all newbie’s were treated poorly by the other hatchlings.

Whenever a kid would come by he would anticipate good, but they always walked away with a frown on their face, black glow, he was beginning to hate that dark glow. Probably because not only was Enzair a rare black, whoopee doo he does not care, but probably because he had purple and looked more “Pretty” than the other plain blacks. If Enzair thought hard enough he believed if he were human he would want himself as well, but found the thought quite… weird.

[ryvnkesler20]

Ryvn walked forward again, passing by Ico and heading on his way. A young dragon caught his attention and he knelt down, curious as he reached out his hand. It was a black with a bit of purple highlights thrown in. Quite beautiful. As he met the dragon's gaze, his eyes lit up in a smile and he spoke again, the only other thing that would ever be able to get him to speak. "Hello there." he said softly, calmly, like before only in hushed tones, like he was afraid to alert the dragon or to make him afraid.

He closed his eyes and he felt that familiar feeling return. Something inside him made him fear that the black glow would return. That black glow which had haunted him for nine years so far and yet still he had no luck with any dragon this far down the line, and it looked like he was about to run out. As he extended his hand to the dragon, he hoped deep in his mind and in his heart that this year would not be another black mar in his history.

As he opened his eyes to look back at the dragon, he drew in a breath and spoke again. "You're very ... pretty." He said calmly, stating a very well established fact, and a very pleasing one at that. He never though he would say that, but he wanted to make the dragon feel more at ease than he normally would. His hand was still held out, and he drew in a breath, waiting for his result.
