Out Of Character
In a routine that is becoming familiar, the Headwoman again ushered the Candidates off to the Stands. They were in the third tier up above the Sands themselves now, almost at eye level with the golden queen. And once again, H'lee was waiting for them to run the lesson.
"Well, some of you already know," he paused to acknowledge any Candidates who had firelizards or dragonets on their shoulders, "some of the exciting things that happen after you Impress. Would any of you like to share some of the things that happen in those first few days after the bond is formed?"
After answers were volunteered, he continued. "I and a few of my Assistants will be remaining here with you for the first fortnight after you Impress, helping you through these days. After that, we'll all travel by foot to Jordan Sea Hold and we'll board a ship bound for the Academy. You'll be doing physical and mental exercises and learning about dragons in general.
"Does anyone know at what age your dragon gets to start hunting for itself, or when your dragon gets to fly for the first time? How about when you get to start using firestone or flamethrowers? At what age do you get to go between for the first time? And at what age will your dragon start participating in mating flights, either as a rising female or a chasing male?"
