Never mind, I fell ill, so here's my part. -- Aidan The next trial was announced, the trust fall. I looked at Shadow Cloud and said to her, "Well this is going to be easy, isn't it?". Which she replied with a look of confidence. Two initiates have already passed this trial, that's why I'm going to be next. I volunteered, ready for the trial. Shadow Cloud flew into the sky with me on her back. We were so high up that I couldn't distinguish what was an initiate and what was a Dragon. It was time, I jumped off Shadow Cloud. I was falling extremely fast, but to be honest I'm used to it because me and Stormy usually fly at high speeds. I was fast approaching the ground, waiting for Shadow Cloud to catch me any second now. I thought she wanted to make it seem dramatic, so I wasn't worried. Closer and closer I got to the ground, and no sign of Shadow Cloud. Now I was understandably panicking. I was trying to look around to look out for Shadow Cloud, but still no luck. This was too intense so I decided to scream, "AHHHHH" and closed my eyes. I was so close to hitting the ground, until a felt a Dragon grab my back and landed me to safety. Weird, the Dragon claws didn't feel like Shadow Cloud's. And that's when I decided to open my eyes. As curious as I was, I opened my eyes as quick as I could. I didn't see Shadow Cloud, instead I saw a Deadly Nadder, there was a Rider too. The Rider hopped off her Deadly Nadder and it was revealed to be the initiate that I made help Barny choose a Dragon. "You okay?" she asked. "Ye... yeah. Have you seen my Dragon?" I worridely asked. "The Stormcutter? She's over there with that guy." she said before pointing in the direction of Barney. This time, I was mad. I had business to deal with. "Could you do big favour?" I asked the initiate that saved me. "Depends on what the favor is." she replied with. I was heading towards Barny now, with a Terrible Terror on my shoulder. Yep, that was the favour. I needed to use her Terrible Terror for something. I would be lying if I told you it was as easy as me asking her and her letting me take the Terror. She said something about not getting along with people well and oh yeah, I had to make like 10 promises that her Terrible Terror won't get hurt. As I got close to Barny, I made the Terrible Terror sit on my back, on my sword, so Barny couldn't see the little Terror. Shadow Cloud noticed me and screamed out for help, because Barny was holding onto her tightly. "Hey Barny, how about you get your own Dragon and leave my one alone?" I said to him in a serious tone. "You've changed Barny. You've changed for the worse. And how did you take my Dragon down from the sky, you don't have a Dragon to fly on." I said to Barny. Just when I said that, a voice which came out of nowhere and said, "But I do.". In walked another initiate who had a Monstrous Nightmare. I've never seen this initiate before. "So this is the friend you want to backstab, Barny? He doesn't look the fighting type to me." the initiate said in a relaxed voice. "He may not look like the fighting type, but he's smart. Extremely smart, do not underestimate him." Barny told the initiate. I had no words, I was shocked at what was happening. The initiate walked up to me and looked me in the eyes. I looked him into the eyes too, to show that I wasn't scared of him. Just then, Shadow Cloud broke free from Barny and stood next to me on my right-side. Shadow Cloud was also looking the initiates Monstrous Nightmare into the eyes, and the Monstrous Nightmare was looking her into the eyes. "Game on." I said to him before backing away with Shadow Cloud, but I didn't turn my back so I was still looking at him. When I turned my back on him, the Terrible Terrible shot a fireblast just infront of Barny's foot. "Deja vu, Barny?" I said in a joking voice. Barny looked mad, it was the same Terrible Terror that fired at him too. Just when I was heading off, the Monstrous Nightmare fired at me. The shot was countered by Shadow Cloud who fired at the Monstrous Nightmare's shot, which caused the two shots to collide with each other. "My Dragon can rotate her head 360 degrees. Don't you know anything about Dragons?" I said to the initiate with the Monstrous Nightmare, before laughing at him. I'll have to deal with him another time. I walked back to the Terrible Terror's trainer and the Terror jumped onto her shoulder. "Thank you. And by the way, I'm Aidan. Aidan Larson. You seem like a friendly initiate." I said to her before walking off with Shadow Cloud. These trials are harder than I thought they'd be. I explained to Freygair that Shadow Cloud was being prevented to catch me by another initiate, but I refused to give a name. Freygair gave me another try at the trial, which I passed in. I expected to come here and make friends, but apparently it's not that easy here. I'm expecting more challenges to come my way. - The initiate that saved me was DSL's character. And JEP, the other initiate with the Monstrous Nightmare is Garmal.
