The World of Dragons

Chapter 1

A/N: this took me a couple of days, but I think you'll like it. There's also a surprise guest at the end! Also just a heads up, I'm writing this on my phone. So it might be a little odd

CHAPTER 1

The two dragons raced down the corridor, one blue, one red. "I can't believe I almost missed breakfast on the most important day of my life!" Complained Flare. "You made me late too! I was going to wake ya up, but Wirenth didn't let me." Sulked Glacius. Flare suddenly piped up and said, "I'll race ya to the Meeting Hall!"
The blue dragon growled and the red one bolted off. Glacius ran after him, being slower than him because he wasn't made for speed(not even for land), unlike Flare.
The pair finally stopped at the giant chamber that was the meeting hall. All colors and sizes of dragons were gathered together at tables, if you could even call them tables. The room had the smell of eggs and roasting meat. "Alright, where do we sit?" Flare asked to himself. Glacius already ran off to get food when something dawned on Flare.
Why was that thing being so sympathetic to me after I got scared? Odd....., thought the barrier of a dragon. He was holding up the breakfast line. "Hey! Come on kid! Can't you see I've got to get something?!" Growled an angry voice behind Flare. He jumped at it and turned around to see a dragon about his age, but a little bit older. "Oh, s-sorry!" Apologized Flare, not wanting trouble.
He quickly scurried up the line and peeked ahead. He could see klah, piles of eggs, sausage, bread, and fruits all lined up in trays. Flare looked back and saw the salty dragon talking to his friend. All of a sudden, he realized what today would mean for him. He would finally be an apprentice! He was fantasizing about what Class he would be in when he got up to the breakfast line.
Flare snapped back to reality as he picked out what he wanted. He plucked a metal sheet with grooves in it(kinda like a lunch tray) and started to fill it up with food. He hastily decided to go back for the klah after he sat down. Flare scanned the Meeting Hall for Glacius and found him sitting with his den-mates. There was an empty seat beside him. Flare padded up to Glacius with his tray in his mouth and muttered through it,"Wha di yo leab ma?!".
Glacius swiveled around with a glob of pear in his mouth, and Flare couldn't help but laugh. Flare set his tray down before he could drop it and burst out laughing! He roared and snickered at the face, and soon the laughter was contagious. The whole table was laughing at Glacius now! The icy blue dragon swallowed his pear with pain and started to giggle with them.
The merry band calmed down and greeted Flare. He now only had 15 minutes to eat! He raced back to pour himself a bowl of klah then carefully cantered back to the giant stump(that's what they are) . The rest of the dragons at the table were already finished with their food, so the pair who weren't had to rush. Flare chocked down the steaming hot liquid and gobbled down his eggs while Glacius licked everything off his plate.
After they were done, the two plopped their trays on the stack of them at the entrance. They walked back to the stump and started to converse for the 10 minutes they had left. "Thank gosh I got here in time to talk with you guys, I had a really weird dream!" Hissed Flare. "Sure seemed like it." Scoffed Bolt, a bronze male. "It really was! I'm not kidding! It was like, I was chasing this rabbit in a dark forest, and it stopped and said my name. I asked how it knew my name and-and it... it said, 'Oh, easy, I'm YOuR bEsTNiGHtMArE.' and I got really freaked out, and I tried to run and...." Explained Flare in a hushed voice, barely even heard against the chatter of the Meeting Hall.
The whole table was beginning to be anxious from Flare's story. A couple dragons shifted uncomfortably. "W-when did you have t-this dream? What h-happened next?" Questioned a small voice. Everyone turned around to see yellow, young dragon. She gulped and said, "W-what?! I-I just w-wanna know h-how to i-interpret dreams! I-I'm a Potions Apprentice, a-and I-I'm studying D-Dream Reading."
Flare was surprised by the newcomer's skill and asked, "Wait, how many years have you been in training?".
The dragon's paw raised and held up a claw. "Whoa!", gasped Flare," I thought that you had to have at least 5 years of experience to study it!". The yellow dragon nodded.
A loud boom echoed through the cavern, followed with a voice. "Alright, as you all might know, we are naming apprentices today."it said blandly. Glacius's table perked up, all of them excited for the day ahead. "Ok, first up, we have the Speed Class apprentices."
The room went silent, especially the to-be apprentices. "Ok, first up we have Ralarth!" Announced the voice. A sly looking beast padded up to where the voice sounded from. Ralarth got a pat on the shoulder by a baggy-eyed dragon, seemingly the announcer. "Alright, next up is Solas." Solas ran up to the dragon and received his pat on the shoulder. The list went on and on, you know how that goes, so I'm not gonna name them all.
The last person the be called up was Bolt, who was ashamed of being last, so he accepted his pat and went back to the table. His head was hung low and he looked like he was sleep deprived, but he still had an excited gleam in his eyes. "Alright, now for the Defender Class. First up, we have Glacius." Called the dragon
"Alright!" Glacius bounded up to the announcer and happily was gifted his pat. Now, the same thing is happening as the last thing.
"Ok, now we have the Fire Breathing Class. First up is...." The announcer paused for a second, trying to read the name. "Typhis?! Uh, I think we have a mix up." The reporter walked off and went into a storage room off to the side. The entire cavern went up in chatter when he was out of earshot.
"Whoa, hold up, that was an Ocean Weyr name, in a Fire Breathing Class! Gosh, and I just thought he had bad vision.", joked a silver dragon by the name Colrath. "Heheh, yeah, what does Mortith thinks he's doing?" Crowed Bolt. The yellow dragon behind Flare began to back up. Flare noticed this movement and said,"Hey, I didn't get your name, what is it?".

The she-beast's eyes widened and said,

"M-my name? O-oh, i-it's Alphys."
