The girl atop the darkly pelted dragon jumped, landing crouched like a wild cat in front of the trio at the front of the group. The crowd gasped and fell silent as the girl straightened, standing tall and formidable before her equally terrifying dragon. And then she was grinning sheepishly, rubbing the back of her head with a grey gloved hand. "Sorry if I scared you guys by wandering off earlier.." She murmured, with a voice surprisingly familiar. "I just love making entrances! And Ink didn't want to wait!"
The black dragon snorted and rolled her eyes, before stretching like a cat and letting out a yawn. "Oh, right, sorry." The girl replied, before clambering back up onto the back of the MOD, who let out a rumbling growl.
"Welcome to the Temple Ruins! I am both Hosuk dro GdihfPheksoh and Okn di dro Grutiv! We two are a single entity, and the first Soars of our world's history!" The girl winked, smile broadening as she said "But to those who are willing to disobey, you can know me as Evil's Death." and her dragon's great head swept over to a small group of boys to the far back, who slid against the wall in fright.
Hosuk laughed, a high musical sound like an alto ocarina, low but sweet. "If you prefer english, call me Regan."

Heidi felt like fainting. She had no idea what to do. Ammy's question was answered but Regan. Heidi breathed in and her breath went out in a sigh. I don't belong here. I am a way to weak to be here. She looked at the floor feeling stupider(SP?) than every.
(ooc: Thankies Ammy. I think thatz how you spell 'dubbed')

Leikin quietly answered Amz's question. "It is a name my mother gave me." Turning her head toward the dragon and Soar, she stood in amazement. "Wow.." She hopped she would be choosen by an egg. It was her dream to be a Soar.

"Now.." Hosuk sat in the small, white saddle upon Okn's back, staring placidly at the small pedastal with the scroll of names on it. She waved a hand boredly, watching as a small stream of the orb-like spirits float down and grab the scroll, before flying it back up to her. She whispered a word in another tongue, before looking back at the crowd. "Not everyone will make it to be chosen by dragons. And even less will be chosen by eggs." She whispered, eyes narrowed as she watched every one in the room. "Not all Soars are good, and most certainly are evil. Therefore, I cannot take the risk of allowing so many to become one with the dragons." Okn snarled, as if to further prove her point, and many shrunk back. "You will find the sleeping quarters upon the lower cliff-face, there you shall go and decide among yourselves where you shall sleep. You are dismissed." Hosuk murmured, watching as they began to leave. "Except you three, Leikin, Ammy, Heidi. You three will remain here."

Leiking gulped and stepped forward. Why was the great Regan asking her and Amz and Heidi to stay? She waited for everyone to file out of the room and then looked up at the great dragon before her. "Wow.." She was still in awe of the size of the beast and blinked as it kept looking forward. She wondered what the dragon was thinking at that moment, it didn't seem all to thrilled to be at this place, and in such a small enclosed area. It must yearned to fly free, but did as the Soar asked of it. Okn didn't scare Leikin, but intrigued her. She wanted to know everything about dragons. She wanted to know how big they grew, what their attack capability was, to know what it felt like to fly and be one with something that could crush you in a moment. She wanted to know if the bond between a dragon and a Soar was really unbreakable like the stories tell, you feel the pain your dragon feels.

Hosuk glanced up quickly and then back down at Leikin with a small smile. "We both want to get out of here and fly. This place feels...cramped. Even to a human being like me." She shrugged just slightly, and then Okn's head came down to rest beside her. "Now." She murmured, unfolding the scroll and glancing at it. "I already know you three. I've been keeping my eye on you all through the eyes of my pack-" My pack. Okn's words echoed back over the walls, even in the form of thought. Her voice was very much like Hosuk's, only a little deeper and more accented. "Yeah, well..shush." The girl waved her hands in the dragons face, a childish display that made the dragon laugh. "Either way, I've been stalking you with dragons for a few years, kinda creepy, huh?" She grinned again, that eerie, creepy cat smile. Okn's eye rolled to look at the three as she began to speak. Three eggs have begun calling for their riders already. She began, smiling. All seemed to respond when you three first stepped into the hall. That is why 'Eboni' joined you. "I was curious!" Hosuk whined, shrugging her shoulders. "And being able to look like you in human form is such an honor!" Okn sighed, still smiling, before continuing. Two a male and one is female. We are yet to see who has been chosen by which egg, as they're constant chanting makes it quite difficult. But, either way, your dragons are calling. Are you prepared to see them now?

Heidi Could have fainted. First the scroll, then tha dragon, now this?! It was too much, cuasing her to sit on the floor. "B-but....why me? I don't deserve this....I am weak, how come...how..come...?" She looked at the floor, flustered. She felt afriad to look in her knew friend's eyes and the eye of the dragon and the Soar. How could she not be afraid? She didn't belong here. "I-I don't think.. it.. it will like me..." Tears started to trinkle down her cheeks at these words, some of the many she feared. Heidi hugged herself and stayed on the floor, looking even more weak and pathetic.. and like a fool.

Amz looked up at the scroll as Regan grabbed it, suddenly remembering she hadn't written her name. Oh shi--... she swore to herself, nervousness only increasing as Hosuk asked her, along with Heidi and Leikin, to stay behind. Am I busted...? Her stomach felt like it was heavy with lead at the thought. Regardless, only a small grin could come onto her face. Whenever she was in trouble, you could tell by the hopeless grin that clawed its way onto her face. As Okn, or Ink continued to stare at the three, Amber was sure she looked the dumbest.
Which was why she felt so surprised to hear an egg called to her.
W-wha...?! she thought, her arms shaking at the news. She slightly opened her mouth, as if she was about to say something, but let it hang a moment before closing. This...is utterly, incredibly, not POSSIBLE but magically actually happening... Deep down, her heart gave a faster beat when she heard a female called, but Amber instantly scolded herself for being so selfish.
She was about to answer Regan when Heidi fell to the floor. A small sense of shock ran through her spine, and she got down on her knees by Heidi, putting her arms around her in a hug. Awkwardness was the first thing the came to Amber's head, but with a small shake of her head, she knew this was right. "Heidi...if it thought you were weak, and picked you regardless of that, it's...gotta' be strong enough for both of you, right?" she said gently, tilting her head slightly to match her eyes. "...it's...gotten to know you for what...two or three years now? If it liked you for all that time, why would now be different?" Amber continued, nervousness threatening to change her voice with each word, but confidence growing as she realized the same applied to herself and Leikin.
As she let go, and waited for Heidi to relax, her forgotten principals brought themselves up. Can she be trusted...? Well, um...she was picked by a dragon's egg. How can anybody here not be? The answer assured her, and she prepared herself. The eggs called.

Leikin was taken aback. She was being chosen already? But.. how? Gulping she nodded. "Yes, I am ready Okn." She stepped forward. "I am ready to see the egg that you say calls to me." It was at that moment that all her strength hightened and she heard a tiny whisper in her ear. No one around made that sound, and she could feel, in her heart, that an egg was calling her her.

"Great! Okay, Climb on." Hosuk replied, grinning and jumping down from Okn's back. "The saddle's probably only big enough for one, but you guys'll be safe if you sit in front of Ink's shoulders." She grinned, leaning casually against her dragon's forepaw. "Come on!"

Overjoyed, Leikin climbed on, sitting where Regan told her too. She had never ridden a dragon before, so she was very excited to experience this. "Come on guys!" She smiled.

Amz glanced over at Heidi, and asked, "You ready?" She grabbed Heidi's hand and dragged her up by Okn and Hosuk. Turning to the master Regan, giving a small anime salute, she laughed, "We're ready, ma'am!" Then with a small energy, still holding onto Heidi's hand, she climbed on, almost as if Ink was a jungle gym. Though with a playful grimace, she thought, Although she'll probably eat me for it. Slowly she climbed onto the giant shoulders of the great beast, finally releasing Heidi's hand, and flashing her a smile. Excitement pounded in her chest, and her patience grew thin.

Hosuk returned the salute, grinning before climbing up to stand on Okn's back. "Ok, Ink! We're ready to go! Hold on!" A great howl tore from the throat of the dragon, before she sprung up through the ruined roof. Landing with a thump on the scattered tiles, she ran along the side before leaping into the air and taking the current to the north, and to the hatchery.
