The wind generated from the thousands of dragons flapping their wings was causing many things down on the ground to be blown away and torn asunder from the excess force. One dragon,Shi'thkara, happened to be one of the larger dragons, taking flight way above the clouds. As the dragon looked above it saw the sky turn from a light blue to a dark blue, into purple and fading into black. He noticed dragons arriving from such a height, several of the reputed mythical dragons of long ago were actually still active. His lungs were powerful enough to handle the low oxygen zone this high, but his disciple could be less spoken about. Terorahron Lector's face was green with sickness, feeling light headed and quite dizzy. He wasn't used to flying with Shi'thkara this high up. In fact, he had never flown above the clouds so his sickness was understood for the most bit. Any normal human wouldn't be able to even breathe at such high altitudes, but such was the perk of being a Cyclone Dracomancer. He looked over and saw other giant dragons flying humbly and slow, simply cruising through the air as if it were just a regular day. "Shi'thkara, when exactly are we going to arrive at this island place you were speaking of?" The great black dragon grumbled lowly, the vibration shaking Terorahron, vibrating through his body and soul.
"We'll be there in a few moments Terorahron, just hang on for a moment will you?" The dragon made a low roar before taking a near 90 degree nosedive into the clouds, Terorahron soaked in frigid water and ice particles. As the dragon breached the bottom of the clouds Terorahron near-instantly began to sneeze, shaking himself from the cold water on his body and clothes. He closed his eyes and breathed through his nostrils, a gust of wind blowing out and curving back to Terorahron's body, wind-blasting him dry. Shi'thkara chuckled before diving further below, in the direction of an impossibly massive island below, with a massive forested area and a desert-like area, and situated by a massive cliff was a prestigious castle of sorts that shone in the bright sunlight.
"Shi'thkara... this place is freakin' huge! This is where the Tournament will be held?" The dragon nodded coyly before swirling under the smaller dragons and gliding low level by the ocean surface, letting his wings scrape the glittering surface before flying towards a massive mountain, one of several hundred dotting the island.
"Are you ready to take this Tournament Terorahron? I can't guarantee you'll live," Shi'thkara said whilst laughing. Terorahron knew he wasn't joking, but laughed anyways, knowing that he might die on this island against some ruthless Dracomancer. With a determined smile he nodded, and stood on the dragons's back with arms extended and fists closed, looking out to the horizon.
"I've never been more ready in my life!"
