granite counter top.
In the main room there was a wood stove that was designed specifically for his incubation box. He had placed it in it's place atop the already lit stove. The heat radiated from the small iron stove. It warmed the entire room as it blazed away. Just past the wall that housed the stove there was an archway with a staircase leading down. Below were the stables that housed the dragons once they had hatched. There was a large set of double doors out of the stable that lead into the central pits of the keep. The pits were four large open areas that were deep beneath the keep. They were known as the Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western Pits. They were used for both training and as common areas for the dragons and their bonder. Davin stayed in his room the rest of the night. He only took his eyes off of the box when he finally felt sleep calling him and went to bed.
The following morning all of the new bonders attended classes together. They were instructed to bring their boxes with them. They were each provided a very thick leather glove that would shield their hand from the smoldering heat of the boxes. That and a thickly coated rubber handle was the only thing protecting them from immense burns.
Davin woke early to find the incubation box just as he had left it. He got dressed and went to collect his box. He slipped on the heavy leather glove, picked up his box and headed out the door and off in the direction of his class.
He had walked down the hall passing a few other doors, when he saw Chloe coming out of one, about five doors down from his own. He caught her eyes as she stepped into the hallway.
"Hey Chloe, wait up." He shouted at her.
She began walking his direction to meet him. "Hey. How was your first night?"
" Not bad. The bed was amazing along with the rest of the place." He replied. "How about you?"
" I didn't sleep much last night. I was pretty excited."
They continued walking towards their first class as bonders. It wasn't long and they came to the classroom marked "Incubation Training". They walked through the open door to find that they were the first to arrive. At the head of the class, a short fat man stood next to a desk.
" Hello. My name is Professor Wilson. You may address me as such." The short man walked around behind his desk and sat down. "Please. Take a seat. And what are your names for the roll?"
Davin and Chloe quickly introduced themselves as they sat in two of the desks on the left front side of the class against the wall. The desks were lined up by twos in three separate lines. There were two rows, just enough seats for the twelve new bonders that received eggs the previous night. The other students had started entering the class one at a time, except of course for the three trouble makers who strolled in together. Blake, Toby and James all would be in their class with them. Hopefully they would not continue to be a nuisance like they always had been. All of the students had finally arrived to class. The class was made up of Davin, Chloe, Blake, Toby, James and three others that had been in school with them, Jordan Craig an overweight elf, John Paul Stevens a human and Todd Brenner another human. Joining them as new students were Michael Franco a human from one of the nearby cities, Kayla Jennings another human from outside of a small town someplace down south of the keep and Derrick Greenwood, an elf. His family knew of the Academy and rushed him there as soon as they found out about his gift.
Professor Wilson stood up from behind his desk. "Now that we are all here, let's begin shall we." He turned around and started writing on the board behind him. After a few seconds of quick scratches with the chalk, he stepped to the side and pointed. "Incubation period." Reading what he had just wrote. He faced to address the class. "Who knows how long the incubation period is, for a dragon waiting to hatch from an egg?" He paused and silence filled the room. "Anybody?" Pausing
