Above is what Zuica, Aurora's first dragon looks like.
   Moments later, Aurora and Heather enter the dragon stables and Heather says "Now, you need to listen carefully, usually your dragon talks to you to tell you that it's yours but your dragon may also come up to you first and then talk to you, now go find your new friend." Then Aurora goes a bit further into the stables and sees all sorts of dragons and she says "What is the most common age you have? Just out of curiosity."  Heather then replies "Most of them are juveniles that are just about to reach adulthood." After this Aurora nods as she continues looking at the different dragons when a green colored dragon with a white belly, a very ridged back and a head with very sharp looking spines says to her in a obvious female voice "Aurora, I am your dragon (her dragon puts her head down a little, allowing Aurora to stroke her snout), you must name me, then a very important link will form between us." Then Aurora replies "Hmm, how about Zuica?" In response Zuica answers "Yes Aurora, I like that name." Then Aurora leads Zuica back to where Heather is standing and Aurora says to her "I found my dragon." As Zuica steps forward and Heather says awestruck realizing what species Zuica is "You are very lucky to have her Aurora! She is a Mountain Dragon and a Mountain Dragon is a very rare dragon for a rider to get!" Then Aurora says as Zuica gently nuzzles her "Well, I guess I could consider myself a lucky one, huh Zuica?" And Zuica gives a bit of a nod with her head and Heather says "Come on, I can show you where you two will be staying." Then Aurora leads Zuica out of the stables and once they are outside, Heather hands Aurora her first dragon saddle and says "Here, your mother would want you to have this, she had a Mountain Dragon as her first dragon too, it should fit on Zuica." And Aurora says "Thank you Heather! But one thing, since I am assuming we are going to fly and you are going to have me ride her I might need help putting the saddle on." Then Heather says "That's very true." Then Aurora and Heather get Zuica tacked up and Heather says to her "Okay, hop on her and I'll take you to your place and also show you where the other riders live." After this, Aurora does as Heather says and mounts Zuica before they take off after Heather and Tide and moments later they reach the spot where all the kingdoms are located on Astrea and Heather says "Okay, the sea surrounding all the other kingdoms is where the water Kingdom is located, it is in a kingdom underwater Tide and I live there, my other dragons are Blizzard and Stoneclaw, Blizzard is a male Ice dragon and Stoneclaw is a male Mountain Dragon, like Zuica, I keep them at the Ice dragon and Mountain Dragon stables since they cannot go underwater with Tide and I." Then she says as she points to a kingdom covered with feathers and leaves "This is the Poison/Phoenix Dragon kingdom, Diana lives here with her female poison dragon Ivy and her male Phoenix dragon named Flamewing." After this they fly up near a storm cloud as Heather points to it and says "Up there is the Electric dragon kingdom, Kami lives up there with her female electric dragon named Electra." Next, Heather and Tide lead Aurora and Zuica to a icy plain with a kingdom made out of ice and snow and she says "This is the Ice/Snow Dragon kingdom, this is where Jasmine lives with her male snow dragon Breeze." Then they head to a volcano with a kingdom along the side and Heather says to Aurora and Zuica "This is the Fire Dragon kingdom, Lily and Lisa live here with Lily's female fire dragon Verita and Lisa's male fire dragon Flametalon, Lily also has a female snow dragon named Drayla." Then they head to a completely black mountain and Heather says "This is the Black Dragon kingdom, Rocky and Peter live here with Rocky's male black dragon Nightmare and Peter's male black dragon Midnight, Rocky also has a male Mountain Dragon named Stonetalon and a male fire dragon named Redtail and Peter also has a male Ice dragon known as Freeze." Then they head to another mountain in between the Black Dragon and Fire Dragon kingdoms covered with snow and with a kingdom made out of Glacial ice and Heather says "And this is where you two will be staying, this is the Mountain Dragon kingdom, this is also where I keep Stoneclaw and where Rocky keeps Stonetalon, come on, I'll show you and Zuica around." Then they land at the entrance to the Mountain dragon kingdom (I will have a picture that represents each kingdom at the top of the next chapter) and Heather says "Come inside, this is where you both will be staying, there are stables specifically for mountain dragons here where I usually keep Stoneclaw and Rocky usually keeps Stonetalon, you both may see us from time to time since we try to give our dragons breaks, I'll show you two those later, first Aurora I am going to show you your room. Zuica may very well stay in the room with you sometimes which is not too uncommon for dragons to do and the room is far big enough for her to do so if she wishes, especially as you both first get to know each other." Then Heather leads Aurora and Zuica to Aurora's new room and Heather says "This is it, I must say that your room also has a beautiful view of all the kingdoms and from what I have heard also has an astounding balcony in which you can relax and just take in the views when you are not busy." Then Aurora says after they open the door "Wow, it's so wonderful Heather, I love it!" She then turns to Zuica and says to her "What do you think Zuica?" To which Zuica nods in agreement and says "It is so beautiful Aurora, the view is quite astounding." After this Heather says "Your clothes are already in here, you can change into them if you'd like quick." Aurora then answers "Okay" and then she heads to the bathroom in her room, gets changed and comes back fully geared and Heather says "Wow, Aurora you look amazing in your new outfit!" And Aurora says "Thank you Heather."
   Next, they head to the mountain dragon stables and Heather says "This is where Rocky and I keep Stonetalon and Stoneclaw and where you can put tack on Zuica, which the saddle hangs up over there." As she points to a rack with other saddles on it before Heather continues "Before we go any further, how about I show you how to safely put on and take off saddles by yourself." Then she holds up a type of special dragon halter (sort of like a horse halter but a dragon halter is specifically designed for dragons, they are designed to fit around the dragon's head and are also made specifically for each dragon species, it is mostly to be able to use special dragon proof cross ties in order to safely get the dragons saddled up when they are needed, especially when a rider is putting a saddle on by his or herself) would you mind if I used you to show Aurora how to do this Zuica?" Zuica then replies "No, I don't mind at all." Then Heather shows Aurora how to put the dragon halter on and says "Okay so first you slide this halter overtop the head of any dragon you wish to ride since eventually you will have more then just Zuica and then slide it over the spikes on her head until the halter is placed behind them and then you connect the clasp to the halter by clipping it onto the clip right here (as she shows Aurora the clip she is talking about and then clips the clasp to the halter Zuica is wearing (Aurora will be able to get Zuica one with her name on it but right now Heather is using a spare one)) and then you put the cross ties onto the front two clasps and then it holds her so you can take the saddle on and off of her, speaking of which, we can take it off while she is in the cross ties right now and let her have a bit of relief for now." Aurora then nods as she and Heather take Zuica's saddle off and hang it with the others when a male mountain dragon says to Heather "Heather, who is the new rider with you?" Heather then replies turning to Aurora "Aurora, this is Stoneclaw, my mountain dragon, Stoneclaw this is Aurora, she is the important rider I told you Tide and I were going to get earlier." Stoneclaw then answers her and says "Greetings Aurora, it's nice to meet you." Then Aurora says "It's nice to meet you too Stoneclaw." After this the three hear Zuica say "Aurora who are you talking to?" Until she turns her head just a little and sees Stoneclaw in his stall and she tenses up just a little and says "Who are you?" To which he answers "My name is Stoneclaw." After this he turns back to Aurora and says to her "She is quite a feisty one, I'm assuming she is your's Aurora?" And Aurora nods to him and says "Yes, that is Zuica." Then Aurora says goodbye to Stoneclaw before she and Heather turn back to Zuica and Heather says "Next, you just unclip the cross ties, undue her halter and hang the halter back on the hook on her stall, which is right beside Stonetalon's stall, you might get to meet him later, I believe Rocky let him out to hunt. Now I am going to take you to a special place for only Zuica where she can go and be alone if she wants, it's a cave sort of like the one we are in now for the stables but it is only for the most important rider to have her dragons stay if they wish because if you ever end up getting an Ice or Snow dragon or even both, they can also tolerate this sort of place and it will be easier for just your dragons to hang out when they want to be away from the other dragons in the stables." However, as they are busy talking, Zuica becomes impatient since she is getting annoyed with the cross ties and she begins to paw the ground just a little and Heather says "Zuica, don't do that!" Then Aurora says "What should I do if she does that?" To which Heather replies "Good question Aurora, all you do is simply tell her no and if she still does it you just give her a little tap with your hand, like this (she shows her) and she should stop, all she is trying to tell you is that she is getting a little impatient." After this, Aurora unclips Zuica from the cross ties, then unclips the halter and hangs it on Zuica's stall before they head out with Heather to see the cave that Heather was talking about. Once they reach it Heather says "This is it, this is where Zuica can relax if she wants to when you don't need her or after she hunts and kills something, she can come back here and eat it in privacy because Stoneclaw and Stonetalon may try and steal her kills cause they have stolen each other's kills before, all those stalls pretty much do is keep them from really attacking each other, especially since males will fight a bit more then females like Zuica will, here she can eat in peace." Then she says "Well, that was pretty much it Aurora, the riders all usually eat at the building next to the stables where you got Zuica, she can go hunt if she wants because usually we let our dragons out to hunt and then a while later once they have all eaten we will ride them down there and I'm sure the others will be excited to see Zuica." Aurora then nods and says "Okay, thank you for the tour Heather, I'll see you later." Then once Heather leaves, Aurora says to Zuica "Well Zuica, do you want to go hunt and eat then? I'll get you tacked back up a little bit later so we can go meet up with the other riders." Zuica then nods and says "Yes Aurora, I think I am going to eat my kill here since it is away from Stoneclaw and Stonetalon as Heather suggested, I will meet you outside here so you can tack me up." Aurora then nods and Zuica flies off to hunt as Aurora heads back into the kingdom and decides to go to her room for a while.
