doing. Professor Wilson motioned the new students to get into one of the food lines. There were a stack of trays in a cart just before they approached the buffet. They each worked their way down the line of food taking what they wanted. The new bonders split up and took seats amongst the other students. They were all quite welcoming to the new bonders. Chloe and Davin found a couple of seats open at one of the tables. They sat and ate quietly discussing amongst themselves what they had learned from the lecture earlier. The room had started to settle down as the students began funneling out of the dining hall as they finished their food. The twelve new bonders were all gathered back up by Professor Wilson. The rest of the afternoon was spent touring the new areas of the keep. They wandered through the four pits and observed as bonders worked with their dragons. Different groups working on different techniques. They were separated by dragon types. Of the many dragons they saw, most were large greens and medium sized reds and blues. There was a smaller group of brown dragons, but not nearly as many as the other three. They watched each of the groups intently. The green dragons were all rather large creatures. They were at least twice as tall as even a full grown man when they were on all fours. Their bodies were packed with masses of muscle. They had long thick tales with a slightly elongated neck and body. They were quite thick and their bulkiness showed in their movements. They did not seem to move as gracefully as the reds and blues. They could fly and had large wings behind their massive shoulders. The bonders were working on their dragons strength. Two bonders would pair off their dragons and they would rear up on each other. Clashing their chests together, trying to best one another by forcing the other back. It was like watching a sumo match between the dragons. After watching the greens for a time, they walked over by the group of blues. They were gathered in the southern hall which housed a large body of water. It was like a small lake within the keep. The dragons were moving through the water as easily as a man could run about on land. The bonders were somehow manipulating the water. Some were raising the water up into a sphere, floating it above the lake. A few were creating spears of ice and causing them to thrust forward penetrating the soft earth along the shore. The blue dragons were smaller and sleeker than the greens. They had a more elegant look about them. They too were covered in an armor of scales but had a much leaner build and were slightly longer and thinner in overall appearance. They had wings but because of the blues build, they were smaller and more streamlined. This allowed them to glide through the water effortlessly as well as take them to flight. In the Northern pit, they found themselves looking on at the magnificent red dragons. Their build was somewhere in between the blues and the greens. They were about the same size as the blues but had a slightly thicker structure, but not quite a bulky as the large greens though. Their wings were nearly the full length of their body and clearly made them masters of the sky. They watched as they flew around the pit. Their bonders were shooting bursts of flames from their hands back and forth to each other as though they were playing catch with a ball of fire. They finally came to the browns. There were far fewer of them compared to the rest. Their bodies were more adept to being on all fours. Their rear legs were of more equal size to their front. They had a more lizard like appearance and sat lower to the ground. Their bonders were defying gravity and causing themselves to levitate. All of the dragons were quite a sight to see. It had all of the new bonders lost in thought on what type they would end up with. They were all soon dismissed for the day. Davin and Chloe walked together back towards their rooms. Before leaving the pit a bonder and his
