Step one of our training was to find the right dragon. I wandered through the many tunnels with Krystal. We had left Alec and Yasmin to catch up, they did have a decade or so to work up on. It was an amazing place. Whistler dragons used the sound they could produce to create sonar tunnels wiggling through the nest to make it easier to communicate with one another. But being caught in one of those tunnels could kill a human because of the pitch and the volume it created. They communicate similar to Dolphins, with a series of concussive, high-pitched sounds but on a much higher and louder scale to the cute sea creature. We admired the many colours and sizes of the dragons. I wondered where the queen was? Every nest has its queen, right? As we strolled a purple and black dragon came out and started sniffing Krystal all over.

"Whoa...Hey girl..."

Krystal stroked her nose and she purred loudly down Krystal's ear.

"I think you just found a new friend!"

Krystal smiled and scratched under her chin.

"Yeah...I think I just did and I'm gonna call her,...Moonrise."

I smiled and waved.

"See you guys later, I'm off to make a new friend."

Krystal giggled and I continued on through the tunnel. I walked along and watched some younger dragons playing. They were almost full grown, but one was smaller. Her playmates teased her and she growled, but they would not stop.

Who knew dragons bullied each other?

I interrupted and her playmates ran away. She cowered in the corner and I neared her reaching my hand out to her. Slowly she came closer then something scared her and she ran after the others. I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Hey..."

Yasmin smiled down at me seen as I was still kneeling.

"She's scared of everything that little dragon. When she was just big enough to leave home, her mother was killed protecting her down by the river from the flightmare dragon that came on its yearly hunt. She hasn't gotten over it and shy's at everything. Poor thing."

I squinted thoughtfully and stood.

"Did you find a dragon?"

Yasmin smiled and a silver and green energetic dragon ran out behind her.

"Yes! This is SilverDusk."

I stroked the friendly dragon and Alec joined us with his blue and black one.

"And this is RavenClaw who's gonna help me get home."

I smiled and glanced in the direction that dragon run.

"I think I just found my dragon too."
