It was a dry, warm day, school started in like five minutes, "where is Shimmer?" the green dragon groaned as he rolled over on his stomach, "remember Danny, she's new here", his friend Carlos replied, fanning out his black and blue silver tipped wings. "She's taking forever, if we wait any longer we'll be late", Danny sat up, "that's rich coming from you, I mean, usually you don't care about being late..." Carlos smirked, Danny snorted, "well, being late in-front of a girl on her first day, isn't very...inspiring or...setting a good example", Carlos' smirk just grew, "you just don't want to be embarrassed about being late in-front of your girlfriend", he nagged, "I do not have a crush on Shi-" but Danny was cut off and he went wide eyed as Shimmer landed behind him, Carlos snickered and burst out in laughter, 'dude your so dead later', Danny thought, "hey Shim", "am I late?" She asked as she dropped her crystal-shaped feathered wings by her sides, "not a moment too soon!" Danny leaped in the air before spreading his white edge-stripped green wings and hoovered waiting for his friends. "Come on! Let's go" Carlos broke out of the laughter and leaped after Danny, "are there any newbies like me?" Shimmer asked and took to the wing after them following, "plenty mate", Carlos replied. Danny landed in the courtyard and waited for them, Carlos and Shimmer landed at the same time, folding their wings. "Ready?" The boys looked at her, she giggled, nodding as they started walking.
There were many others walking the corridors, talking and messin' about as they waited for their classes to begin, Shimmer looked around, "and this is your dormatory", Danny pointed with his tail, "you'll be staying with other dragonesses in there, there are other dorms, but this one's the only one you should really care about" he laughed and explained. "Thanks Danny", Shimmer replied, flashing him a smile, and opened the door, "hey, there's no-one here..", "oh, that's because classes ar-" he went wide eyed remembering about the time "classes are starting!" he exclaimed, he didn't want to be late, "I'm gonna go on ahead Dan" Carlos snickered and bolted down the corridor. Danny narrowed his eyes at his blue friend as he ran, "I think you have element class, Shim, it's down that corridor to the left", he explained to Shimmer and pointed with his tail, "you'll see see a door titled "Elemental Grounds", Mrs.Harper should be waiting, she doesn't start class unless all of her students are there", he let her know, "see you round!" Shimmer exclaimed as she ran to her class. Danny immediately took off in order to catch his class, "I'm here!" he exclaimed as he skidded into line with the others beside a pale blonde dragon, he didn't know him or recognise him, he must also be be new, the dragon greeted Danny with a welcoming smile, but he didn't speak. "Late as usual, Danny?", Danny nearly jumped as he heard the voice, "s-sorry Sir, I was showing someone to the-" His teacher stopped him, "calm down, stop rushing, it's alright", Jetline said, "we too have some new arrivals in the class". Danny sighed in relief, Carlos was 4 dragons up from him in the line. Jetline flew and hovered 2 metres from the line, "now, today's class is going to be a beginner's obstacle course, you must find your own way past these obstacles, this is not a race, it is simply testing yourself against yourself. You may line up now", he announced, flying up to a floating platform where he would be spectating and landed there. The pale blonde dragon gulped as he looked at the sky course, then looked at his wings, as if he didn't want to fly, or knew how to. "Hey are you ok?", Danny asked him, the pale one looked at him, then smiled as if trying to hide his fear, "yeah, I just don't do well in the air", he admitted and looked down, his long blue scarf dangled just off the ground, "I'm sure your not that bad" Danny reassured him, "what's your name pal?", the dragon looked at him with his welcoming smile again, "my name's Clyde, yourself?" he replied readying himself to take off, "Danny", and with that last word Danny ran and took too the air with a jump. Clyde just jumped, let himself drop for a second and swooped just off the ground, flying after him at a slower pace. He looked at the ground, "uuhhh, it's so high", Clyde shuddered to himself, then looked at Danny, "shut up Clyde, I need to concentrate" he talked to himself, "I can do this".
Meanwhile, Shimmer's class was going well for her so far, until it was her turn to show her element, she walked up to the target and waited for the command to breathe. "Fire!", yelled Ms.Harper and Shimmer raised to her hind legs and slammed her forepaws on the ground, letting an explosion of Crystal Mist fly from her mouth, when a spinning energy ball formed in her mouth, a razor sharp crystal shot after, piercing the target in the middle, as soon as the tip of the crystal touched the target it started crystallizing, the Crystal Mist covered the target in crystal material, the material started spreading down and onto the ground, the other dragons jumped in the air in order to not be crystallized themselves, Mr.Harper was last to jump, as she was stunned, a Crystal Dragoness! One of the ultra rare elements, were in her class. Shimmer dropped her crystal-shaped, feathered, wings on the ground by her side and stopped the spreading crystals in their path, and soaked them up. The dragons landed and folded their wings, Mrs.Harper was the last to land, she was surprised, as she hadn't seen a Crystal dragoness in years.."...class dismissed...go back to your dormitories", she said, she had to take this in a bit better. "Shimmer, you be careful with that element, it is a rather advanced one and can take years to master, elements such as Nature, Air, Fire and Water are more simple to control and master. Lightning, Ghost, Sound, Light and Darkness, are medium difficulty...but elements like yours, Crystal, Galaxy and the most rarest and most powerful..Chaos. You are dismissed", Mrs. Harper sighed. Shimmer slowly strolled out of the Elemental Grounds and walked straight to her dorm.
Carlos was acing the obstacle course, he was a fast and majestic flyer indeed, and although it wasn't supposed to be a race, the boys turned it into one, nobody could catch up to Carlos though, he came to the cloud rings, that was a piece of cake, he looped upwards once before pulling back his half-feathered-half-dragonic wings and shot right through them. Danny tried to show off just as well as his friend, by spinning as he flew through them, but clumsily tumbled and broke one as his wing went through it, he decided to pull them back as Carlos did and turned his focus back to catching up to Anthony, a red, orange and black dragon, Carlos had reached the sky tunnel, for the 4th time now, he swooped upwards before once again pulling back those wings, and diving through it spinning this time, Carlos was not a show off, but he loved to preform stunts of all kinds. Clyde was struggling to keep up with the others, but he wouldn't give up easily, he was getting better with every lap though, he was on his 3rd lap, and was at the dodge-poles, where a dragon would have to fly in and out of metal poles without touching off them, as with the cloud rings, only a dragon had to fly through them. He wasn't bad at it, he wasn't great at it either, he managed to fly swiftly enough to pass Summer Blaze, a red and yellow dragoness, this gave him a burning determination of confidence as he cleared the dodge-poles and was now coming up to the cloud rings.
Carlos was just about to start his 5th lap, when the whistle blew, startling him, Carlos leaped and clumsily face-planted into the wall, and tumbled to the ground onto his back, Danny slowed down and hovered before snickering and bursting out laughing along with majority of the other dragons and dragonesses. Even Jetline must have chuckled, as he had a large grin on his face. Carlos lay there for a few minutes, stunned from the impact, he let the dizziness pass before laughing his head off. Danny, having finished his laughing seizure, flew down and trotted over to Carlos, who had his tongue lolling out of his mouth, panting like a dog, Danny helped him up, "dude that was total skill", he giggled sarcastically, Carlos lowered his feather head, back and tail crests and folded his wings, "I know right?" He replied sarcastically himself and chuckled lightly, "are you alright?" Danny asked, Carlos nodded, Jetline ordered the class to line up again, and so they did as they were told. "Today's session went very well, I thought, you are dismissed", he announced, and the class dispersed into the corridor, Carlos was walking slowly, he was tired and still a little woozy from the crash, Danny walked with him, talking and laughing.
Clyde...Clyde strolled on out alone and quiet, his hair falling onto his face, he had his wings tightly folded, and walked with his head hung. "Outta the way stupid!" Anthony and Greg, a purple spotted-green dragon with a long, limp mane burst past Clyde, Anthony shoved Clyde to the side and him and Greg bolted down the corridor, Clyde yelped with surprise and clumsily lost his balance, and tumbled onto the ground roughly. Stunned, he took a few minutes shake off the dizziness before, picking himself up and limping on his right shoulder to his dorm, some dragons looked and laughed at him, he completely let on as if he were ignoring it, or enjoying it, some dragons were looking in the direction Greg and Anthony ran, in disgust. Clyde just kept walking.
There were many others walking the corridors, talking and messin' about as they waited for their classes to begin, Shimmer looked around, "and this is your dormatory", Danny pointed with his tail, "you'll be staying with other dragonesses in there, there are other dorms, but this one's the only one you should really care about" he laughed and explained.
