Sorry the post is so long, please read it all!

Here, you will enter an world of adventure, excitment, danger, and wonder. But you will not be alone. First, you will enter the Hatching Grounds, where eggs are carefully watched and preserved. You will look around and have the right to touch if you feel connected to the egg. If that egg chooses you, you will be and always will be an Dragon Rider.

**Please, on your first post along with your bio, add which egg hatched for you and how it hatched for you. I don't want just "and the egg hatched for me". Please make it worth while to read.**

Midnight Blue
Sea Blue

The Dragon Riders: (Leader and 2nd in command is in Dark Red.)
Turwaithiel Firesword and Hartanna Nightshade
Cole and Stella
Rhavaniel Falathiel and Monsoon

The Levels
As an Dragon Rider, you go through five different groups, starting as:
1. Youngling
2.Apperntice
3.Rider
4.Elder

The better you do, the more levels you will increase.

How your dragon hatched for you:

My Example:
Your Name: Turwaithiel Firesword(you will get special names liek firesword and nightshade after you've proven yourself.
Your Dragon's Name: Hartanna
Gender: Female
Dragon's Gender: Female
Race: Elf
Age: 14 (in human years, idk in elven years)
How your dragon hatched for you: I picked up an Midnight Blue egg two years ago out of the river. Suddenly, my hand and arm flet an imtense pain, yet for some reason I didn't let go. Then, the egg, (which I thought was an stone at the time), cracked. A small dragonet(an baby dragon), poped out. She was an Midnight blackish and her scales shided like pearls. I smiled and named her Hartanna. As I set her on the table with the broken egg, i noticed an blue makring on my palm. It shows you are connected to your dragon. Every Dragon Rider gets it. (that's the pain you feel when the dragon hatches.)

Name: Cole
Dragon's Name: Stella
Gender:Male (but stella's a )
Race: Hobbit
Age: 30 (young for hobbits, still not of age..but u all already knew that I'm sure)
How my dragon hatched for me: I was working in the stables when I found a large sea blue egg. I thought it might belong to one of the stable owner's animals. I tried to pick it up to move it and it burned my hand. I dropped on my toe and it started to . I got nervous because I thought that I'd harmed the baby inside, but sure enough a baby dragon poked its head out. Now that is a queer happening in the Shire, so I hid it away in the forest nearby. She became my new best friend and I named her Stella after a while.

The elf perked her ears and quickly slid the little creature under her bed, attaining several long scratches and a bite on her wrist and hand.
The servant slid open the door, and glanced about, trying to locate the elf-warrior.
"Mylady?"
There was a bang, a squeak and a quiete curse. The missing elf slid through the door and smiled worridly at him, holding her hands behind her back.
He looked her up and down, and raised an eyebrow "Dinner is waiting for you miss. For the last half-hour actually. Your father is keen for you to meet-"
But she disappeared again. Behind the curtains leading to her sleeping area, she scooped up the little creature, and slid it into a pouch at her side. Grabbing a pair of worn leather gloves-partly to hide the glowing mark, and partly to hide the blood, she shoved past him, and sprinted to the dining hall.

Later

Alegaesia. Right, that was where she was off to- she'd rather run off for a few months than face her fathers brutal treatment again.
She saddled her horse, and spurred him out into the darkness. His hooves thudded quietly into the leaf laden ground, she crouched low ove his back, hands twining in the black mane that flew in the air, mingling with her own.
As a shadow they passes throuhgh the borders of the realm, and rode into the rising sun. After many hours there was a strangled sound from the pouch. Immideatly Rhavaniel instructed the horse to calm with her mind, and opend the satchel, grinning fondly at the little mass of silvery scales.
~
1 and a half months on
~
"Rise little one."
"Just a few more seconds..."
The silver dragon gently nipped her hand , and the elf yelled startled painfully into the waking world. She beheld her scaly friend for a moment.
"We are nearly there. " he quoted, showing his teeth in what could be considered as a grin.
"Go and rot Monsoon."
"Then how will you get there?"
"If you had'nt eaten the horse..."
"If you had thought to brin meat with from the last village-"
"I give up..."
"As you should little one, as you should."
The two gazed fondly at each other for a while, untill the elf gingerly got up from the floor, and adjusted the straps she had fashion out of her armour on her legs. She climbed gracefully onto the misty back, and felt a wash of joy as the dragon lifted himself and her into the air.

Turwaithiel heard an awakening sweet song in her head. She sat up tiredly.
"What d oyou want, Hartanna?"
It is early in the morning, Turwaithiel. You need pracitce. Turwaithiel stood out of her bed to see an tall, long dark black dragon looking through her window.
"No more than you do! Hartanna snorted, blowing hot air at Turwaithiel as she put on her boots.
"Fine, fine!" Turwaithiel climbed through her window and apon Hartanna's back.
To the flying course? Hartanna asked.
"To the flying course." Turwaithiel replied as the soared through the air happily.

"are we almost there yet?"
"I'm not sure...I've never been to Alagaesia before."
"You've never been ANYWHERE before"
"Well, then I have an excuse to not know where I'm going!"
Stella smiled. "I think we're here..."
Cole looked up and in the distance could see the shape of a large creature soaring through the air. "Another dragon?"
Stella didn't reply, but instead swooped down the toward the ground and headed towards the flying shape.

Turwaithiel felt Hartanna tense up.
"What is it?"
I feel another dragon nearby. Turwaithiel looked over behind her shoulder and saw an boy...no, an hobbit riding an almost full-grown dragon.
"You'll never believe this..."
Try me.

Monsoon, angled his head, and spiraled up and away from the other dragon. He and his rider, already quite spectacular flyers, and then twisted suddenly in midair, on the same height.

Turwaithiel smiled.
Two dragons, Hartanna! One rider is an hobbit, the other an Elf! Amazing!
Hartanna did an twist to avoid the trees and landed on the ground in front of the advanced flyers course. Farther off was an not-so advance course and an begginers course. Every course had an series of loops, twirls, turns, dodges, and mulipal tricks the dragons had to perform with there riders. While the riders sat atop the dragon, they also had an job; the course' all each had different dummies and attacks that the rider had to dodge, hit, or defend. Each was unique in it's own way and there where only some of the different training courses.

~~~~~~~~

"Race you to the lake," came the voice of Annalett, a red-head tom-boy who was riding her father's bay gelding.
"your on," came the answer from Annalett's older brother, William, who rode his own gray stallion.

Without another word, both riders were going down the trail at a gallop. Annalett was in the lead, and going even farther ahead yet. Suddenly the trees around them stopped, and a great lake was coming into the young girl's view. She pulled in the horse and swiftly dismounted, and ran on a small dock and cannon balled into the water.

"I win," she yelled to her brother when she surfaced. Her brother dismounted when he stopped his horse and jumped in as Annalett had done.

Annalett swam to shore, her dirty dress stuck to her from the water.
"I'm going to go explore those caves over there." she called to her brother, who nodded.
Annalett went in the first cave, were all there was was dirt and driftwood. The next cave went deeper. At the back there was a Sea Blue oval rock. Annalett went over to it, and felt it wasn't a rock at all, but an egg. She picked it up, and in her hands the egg cracked, and within seconds were an egg used to be, was a dragon...

Annalett hid the small blue dragon in her pouch that was always on her waste. She ran back out to the horses.
"hey, Will, I'm ready to go home." Annalett called out.
"already?"
"yeah..."
"alright."
Annalett mounted her horse, while her brother got out of the water, and mounted his...
~~~~~~
later:

Annalett was in her room. Watching the dragon as it sat on her pillow. She had a book in her lap about dragon and dragon riders of old.
"dragons hatch for their riders only, or if it is a good time to hatch... well theres not much game down by the lake so I must be a chosen rider!" Annalett gasped. She read some more and noticed that lost of riders trained at Alegieaisha.
"Maybe we should go there. It's only about a weaks ride away..."

Days later Annalett was riding a chestnut mare to Alegieasia, the blue dragon in her saddle bag. The dragon was now too big for her small pouch.
The red-head girl wore her hair in a single braid, her dress looked like Eowyn's shield maiden dress. On her hands were blak riding cloves, and on her feet were black riding boots.
"we're almost there, Faunnen..."
