I laid there in the grass watching all the dragons and riders fly around. Can't wait until next week so I can get my egg..  I thought. What kind would pick me? I kinda want a forest one or one of the beautiful amethyst ones. There were so many different types for elements to gems to colors! Some dragons haven't even been found yet.

      "Dreaming about that dragon again Sierra?" A voice said behind me. "How can I not Dartagian! Haven't you even wondered the feeling of the wind rushing past you on a great majestic flying creature!"
     Dartagian was a tall, short black hair, blue eyed, light faced, and full of mystery. He wasn't as excited as I was or at least didn't show he was about getting a dragon. Dartagian and I have been friends since we were born basically and have been through everything together.
     
      " Well when you put it that way." He smiled and sat down next to me. He eventually laid down and we both started to watch the dragons when suddenly a emerald dragon swooped down and landed next to us and we both looked over and smiled.

    "Good boy Lyth!" A girl on the dragon pats his large should about twenty times the size of her hand and we watch her dismount him. "Still watching dragons I see."

"When am I not Anabeth?" I laughed after I said that. She gave me a dirty look. "Oh ya right..." I pull out a small bag and take out an emerald. "Can't forget the snack for Lyth!" I look over and see the stunning dark green dragon walk up to me as I toss the gem up and he catches it and chews it. He swallows and a ring of light goes down his scales making them shiny. "That never gets old" Anabeth says.

    All of the sudden we hear the great horn, a thunderous horn that to used to call everyone in the land to gather at the great kingdom. We all look at each other and rust to out mounts. Anabeth gets on her dragons and flys off while me and Dartagian get to our horses since, we don't have a dragon yet, ad ride to the palace. Hmm.. This is weird.. They only blow that horn if they are getting the next group to get dragons.... WAIT! I can't believe I forgot it was today!

   We arrive and see the dragon keeper standing on a castle wall holding the scroll of all the names of the next dragon group. He hear him start to say names of people. "Getina Blenata, Dartagian Mustqueet, And Sierra Blanata. If that is our name come to the castle gate now!" The dragon keeper walks off.

    "C'mon let's go!" We canter threw the crowd to get to the front where we see the others that were called. The dragon keeper comes out on a big grey stallion he always rides. "These are your new dragon riders! Wish them well and hope a dragon chooses them!" The keeper shouts to the crowd as they separate making a path and we gallop off to dragon mountain.
