It's raining outside the window of the reindeer carriage. Akira wasn't even sure anymore if she would make it into the dragon riders team.
In the carriage was also an other Elf girl, but she is sleeping.
Akira let's out a deep sigh as she tries to lay her head down on the pillows that are in the carriage.
The girl opened her eyes when she heard her sigh.
"Oh. So you are also trying to be an dragon rider?" She says with a little smile.
"I am trying to bring honour to my family. That's all..." said Akira as she looked to her.
"Well I want to be a dragon rider to be on a dragon. It must be so cool and I am also in the family of the best knights, so of course I will win" she said with a big smile.
"You can never know what is gonna be in the future" Akira replied.
"Well who are you to tell me the future is uncontrollable. You act like some kind of royal, but if you would be a royal I would know you as the daughter of the two mightiest elven knights" she said with a smirk on her face.
"I am Akira Vandela Rynsan" says Akira with a blank stare.
The girl stopped breathing for a moment and then she started to laugh really hard.
"PAHAHAHA YEAH SURE YOU ARE THE PRINCESS HAHAHAHA" she laughed.
"I am a disgrace, not a princess. Your family would know that if my father would trust them" Akira replied to her laughing.
The girl stopped laughing and looked annoyed at Akira.
"Well I guess you are one in the royal family, but how come we've never seen you anywhere?I would say that's really weird" says the girl.
"Well I am half human in blood, but my parents created me. The priests say it's some kind disease, but my mother thinks I am a cripple send by the gods" replied Akira.
"Well I am sorry for that. By the way I am Penderana. Penderana Lingudas" says Penderana with a smile.
"Pleasure to meet you Penderana! I will sleep for the rest for the trip if you don't mind" says Akira.
"Of course! Have a good sleep" says Penderana.

"WE ARE HERE!" Screamed the driver from the outside.
Akira opened her eyes and looked outside the window. There was a big castle and behind the castle were cages and a big arena with beautiful sculptures of dragons and griffs.
"Beautiful..." whispered Akira with wide open eyes.
"Let's go and see the other parts! I bet it's even prettier" says Penderana.
They both got out of the carriage and stared at the beautiful castle, but they didn't realise that a man with armoury is walking towards them.
"Are you two from the elven city Nyagun?" He says with a deep low voice.
"Yes sir" they both replied.
The man in armoury turns around and goes towards the castle, the two girls follow him.
"Here you see the gate of the dragon riders castle, but you won't see it for many weeks or months in the future" he says while they are walking towards the gate.
"Nice.." replies Akira.

After he showed them around in the castle he walked towards the arena and training area

After he showed them around in the castle he walked towards the arena and training area. Penderana is really excited to see dragons or dragon riders, while Akira is wondering if the dragons would eat them if the riders would tell them too.
"Here is the training area of young riders or starters" says the man.
Akira looks at the trainers. In her thoughts she tries to asks herself which age they all are, because one of them looks like he is only 12, but he has the structure of a knight.
Penderana stopped for a minute and watched them train.
"You seem like a child who has never seen people train" says Akira with a little laughing in her voice.
"Well they are dragon riders or some of them will be and I've never seen dragon riders or the training they are doing" she replied.
"That's right, but I still think your face looks really funny" Akira laughed out.
"Ugh shut up" replied Penderana with an annoyed voice.
They walked into the arena to the older dragon riders. Dragons were on cages, in cages and in the sky flying around.
"Woah!" Penderana screamed out when she saw the dragons.
"They are beautiful" says Akira.
There are blue, green, pink, red, yellow, golden, black and many other colourful dragons, but one really got into the eyes of Akira.
"What's his name?" Says Akira while pointing at a black dragon with white eyes.
"He has the name Aryxxas, but he doesn't has a rider since the Tyran ate his rider while the rider tried to tame Tyran" replied the man with an emotionless face.
Akira flinched when she heard the words of the man. Tyran is a dangerous dragon and is the third biggest dragon. He came from a land far away from their land and he is a cannibal. He often eats the children of Alinta(the second biggest dragon who is together with Maximus the biggest dragon).
They walked over to a tall man who is patting a green dragon with red eyes.
"Lord Proches these are the elves from Nyagun" says the man in armoury to the tall man.
"Nice to see you two. I am Vendas Proches, but you will need to call lord Proches" lord Proches said as he looked at the two girls.
"Nice to meet you lord Proches" they both answered.
He looks like a strong and tall soldier who has fought many battles and now has scars on his arms and his face.
His hair was black with white strings.
Akira couldn't believe that she was talking to lord Proches. The best dragon rider in all of Candeta.
"Is your dragon Varyn the green fury?" Asked Penderana.
"He sure is" lord Proches replied.
The two girls looked at Varyn with big eyes while lord Proches put his saddle on.
"Sir Grindon will bring you two to the dorms of elvish girls" he said while he climbed up on Varyen and sat down.
"Alright my Lord" the girls answered.

After sir Grindon brought them to the dorms the girls started to get comfortable and pack their clothes into the wardrobe of their room.
There is also an third bed in the room, but the person isn't there.
"Who do you think is with us in this room?" Asked Penderana when she looked at the bed.
"I don't know. I am just hoping she is nice" replied Akira.
"Wanna make some new friends? We could look around in the dorms" says Penderana with a smile.
"Sure" Akira replies.

They walk around to see the dorms of other elves, but not many were there in their dorms and some were really mean. They came to the room 21 and saw an elv girl there.
"Heyy! Wanna be friends with us?" Penderana asked her.
Akira looked at her with big eyes. Her heart started beating while looking at her.
"I guess. I am Ani" Ani replied.
"I am Penderana and this is-"
"Akira. My name is Akira"
"Nice to meet you Akira and Penderana" Ani replied.
Akira started to get red in her face while Ani smiled at her. Ani seemed to get red too.
"We are in the dorm room 16. You can visit us or we can visit you. Maybe we will be at the same training place" says Penderana.
"Sure" says Ani
Penderana and Akira went back to their dorm and fell down in their beds.
"Good night Akira" Penderana said while she closes her eyes.
"You're already going to sleep. It's only 7pm" replies Akira.
"Yeah. It's gonna be a long day tomorrow"
"Alright good night Penderana"
They both yawned one last time and then they fell asleep.
