I just realized that my character is living a day before the next trial... so here's the part before the next trial.

-

Aidan

I made a wise choice by deciding to stay, because the presentations by the initiates were amazing... well most of them, Garmal's was quite lame to be honest. Kat showed 3 skills her Dragon possesses, all which are Guardian worthy. Isla shot an arrow through an arrow, which shocked me the most. And Ar... let's just say she went all out Tuffnut mode, which actually looked messy... but entertaining. All the initiates were done, so I decided to go home. On the way home, I couldn't help but think about the fact that tomorrow held the last trial. ''"Tomorrow is the day, Stormy. Just one last obstacle to get through, we are that close!" ''I said to Shadow Cloud in an enthused voice.

When we got home, everything was normal. My aunty was with Firestar, looking happy. Drarmy was patiently waiting for Shadow Cloud to return, so he could play with her. ''"Ok, Drarmy, you can play with her." ''I said before Shadow Cloud went to Drarmy. Just then, I heard a Dragon land at the front of my house. I went to check who was there, and that's when I saw Stormslicer, Kate's Deadly Nadder. Stormslicer had an egg. Strangely enough, Kate wasn't there, Stormslicer was alone. I approached Stormslicer, and he came closer to me. He came inside my house, and dropped the egg on my desk. ''"Ummm... what's going on?" ''I asked him. He looked at me, before flying off. Where he went, I don't know. This all happened way to quick. I looked over at my desk, and at the Dragon egg. What Dragon is this? I've never seen it before. I sat there, for 15 minutes, thinking about what egg it could be. That's when my aunty walked in. ''"Aidan... where did you get that Woolly Howl egg from?" ''she questioned me. I looked at her stunned. A Woolly Howl egg? Woolly Howl's are nearly extinct, we need to take good care of this egg. ''"I... I don't know. One of the initiate's Dragon dropped it off here, before flying off." ''I replied to her with. She picked up the egg and said,"''Woolly Howl's are extremely territorial over their eggs, we are not safe keeping it." ''before walking off. I ran to her and replied with," ''Wait! We can't just leave it in the wild. No, that's not what us, Larson's, do". "You're right, we can't. If we want to take care of it, promise to not put it into any danger." ''she replied with. I promised her none of that will happen. She asked me how we are going to take care of it, as if she was concerned. ''"Well, Shadow Cloud acts very motherly over me, she can help look after the egg." ''I replied to her with. We made a deal. While I'm at trials, my aunty and Firestar will take care of the egg. When we return from the trials, Shadow Cloud and I will take care of the egg. ''"Wait, hold on a second. Tomorrow is the last trial!" ''I said to my aunty. She looked very happy, and tired at the same time. It was getting pretty late, So I went to sleep. The Dragon egg was in a nice, cosy area, under where Shadow Cloud hangs upside down. If anything does happen to the egg, her senses will go off.

The next day I woke up, ready for the final trial. So, I did the usual morning routine, and went to eat breakfast. After breakfast, I had plenty of time before the trial began, so I decided to read a book about Dragons, more specifically, the Woolly Howl. The book stated that Woolly Howl's, as I've mentioned, are nearly extinct. Woolly Howl's love being out in the snow, and are also very protective over their eggs and companion. After an hour of reading, I checked the time and it was nearly time for the trial. I gave the Woolly Howl egg to my aunty, and Shadow Cloud and I were off. When we got to the trials, everybody was already there. And that's when Freygair announced the trial.

This is the next trial now, hopefully this isn't confusing.

Elder Guy

It was time, time for the final trial. Every, remaining, initiate looked ready. ''"Now now then, as you all know, this is the final trial!" ''I shouted out. ''"For the final trial, I thought why not make it a Dragon-less trial?" ''I once again shouted out. I could see the faces drop of some of the initiates. ''"It seems like some of you are too dependent on your Dragon's." ''I said, before looking at Aidan. "''Your task is quite simple, well for me anyway. But before we can begin the trial, I need all of you to bring me something you treasure the most. I give you half an hour to return with something. If you don't return, or return with nothing, you're disqualified!" ''I shouted out. And just like that, every initiate was off. Half an hour later, most of the initiates were back. Some weren't back yet, so they're automatically disqualified. ''"Ok, now then, let's get to the trial itself, shall we? I need all of you to give me your item, for starters." ''I said. Most of the initiates were reluctant to give me the item, but I told them they'll be disqualified if they didn't. I took all the items and put them on top of a very small tree trunk. I told all of them to stand infront of the tree trunk and face me. "''You may be confused as to what is going on, but all will be clear. You see, behind you are 10 very well trained men, ready to steal your item. Your objective is to defeat the men, before they take your item. If they get past you, your out! Also, try not to kill them, they're trained specifically for this trial, so not killing them would be appreciated!" ''I said to the confused initiates.

Now in Aidan's pov, Aidan is doing the trial.

"''What!?!" ''I though to myself. No Dragons? That's not really fair, is it? Freygair did look at me when he said that some of us are too dependent on Dragons, but I want to prove him wrong. He, for some reason, wants us to bring back something we treasure the most. We have half an hour to return. Just like that, Shadow Cloud and I were off, again! When we reached home, my aunty was shocked to see us back so early. ''"Finished the trial, already?" ''she asked. I explained to her that I needed to bring back something valuable to me. I then went to my room and got out an old voice recorder that my aunty gave to me 2 years ago. The voice recorder was small, it could fit in my pockets, but it was loud! It was a cheap voice recorder, it only recorded one thing, and one thing only. In order to use it, you have to press this red button on it, and whatever was recorded on it was what you heard. In this case, it was a recording of my mother. In the recording, you could hear my mother calling my name, so it was recorded when I was a baby. Judging by the things she was saying, she was playing with me. Anyway, we were running out of time and we needed to get back to the trial.

We must of just got there on time! Some initiates weren't there, so they're basically disqualified. Freygair then took the voice recorder and put it on small tree trunk. I tried my best to keep it from him, but he told me I'd be disqualified if I didn't hand it over. Other initiates refused to give up their possession too, but Freygair told them the same thing. Freygair then made us stand infront of this small tree trunk, facing him. He told us that there were highly trained men, standing behind us, and that they were going to try to steal our items. Our objective was to stop them from doing so. This was beyond evil, for me. Just like that, when we faced back towards the men, they charged at us. There was 10 of them, and 10 of us. We had to take them on 1 on 1, if we wanted to have a chance to pass the trial. I was waiting for one of them to get close to me, so I could get Inferno out and defeat him. Eventually, when they got closer to all of us, I did just that. All of us where fighting back, it looked so co-ordinated. The man that I was battling had a sword of his own, but not Inferno. I used some combat skills that I learned from Viking training academy, and easily defeated the man. I, obviously, didn't kill the man, as he was only there to test my ability. ''"Excellent, Aidan!" ''Freygair shouted out. Now onto my next opponent. I saw another initiate, that I didn't know, struggling. So I decided to give him a helping hand and he also defeated the man. As I was going to go after another man, someone pulled me out from the battle. I looked back and it was Freygair. ''"Only one man per person." ''Freygair said to me. ''"You've passed the trial, Aidan." ''Freygair then said. I looked around at the battle, it was still pretty strong. ''"But I've got to go back in there to help them, they're my friends." ''I said to Freygair. ''"I like your dedication, but I'm pretty sure they have things in control." ''Freygair replied with. He was right, they did. All my friends looked in perfect control over their opponent, which is just what I wanted to see. Freygair told me to enjoy the rest of my day, so I decided to go home.

I got my voice recorder and Shadow Cloud and I were walking home, through the snow. I didn't want to fly there straight away, because I was still planning on how I was going to tell me aunty that I passed the final trial. I looked over at the voice recorder, and decided to play it. It was loud, but it played my mother's voice, so it's what I wanted to hear. As the voice recorder was playing, I heard a Dragon near me. The Dragon sounder pretty close, so I decided to stop the recorded voice. I was looking around, while standing in one place, and Shadow Cloud was doing the same. That's when I saw it. I looked up, and there was a Dragon flying above me. Shadow Cloud saw it too. The Dragon was barely noticeable, it blended in with the snow well. It then landed infront of me, and it had a rider, too. I could now see the Dragon, it was a Woolly Howl! The rider hopped off the Dragon, and stood infront of it, looking at me. I could see the rider clearly too. It was a female, with long dark brown wavy hair. The rider's eyes, also like mine, were amber. ''"Who... who are you?" ''I asked the rider, while being nervous. ''"The real question is, who are you and what are you doing with a voice recording of my mother?" ''she replied with. I was now as confused as ever. ''"Your mother? No I'm sorry, you must of been mistaken, this is a recording of my mother's voice." ''I replied to her with. ''"Don't treat me like I'm a fool, I can recognize my mother's voice from a million miles away!" ''she shouted back. I looked over at Shadow Cloud, and saw that she was intimidated by the Woolly Howl's size. ''"Look I don't want to argue, this is a voice recording of my mother. She went missing, along with my father, when I was 2 years old, that's 13 years ago. If you don't believe me, you can ask my Dragon, Shadow Cloud... even though she can't speak." ''I said to the rider. ''"Oh great, now you're copying my brother's life story. How dare you! My brother was 2 years old when my father, mother, and I went missing. You are clearly a Harn, seeking out to get me!" ''she shouted out. That's when I thought to myself, could it be? I mean it all adds up, the Woolly Howl, the voice recorder, the life story of her brother, or should I say me! The rider was now approaching me, looking to attack me. Shadow Cloud was distracted by the Woolly Howl, who looked like it was going to fire at Stormy. Just as the rider was going to attack me, she got her weapon out. Cool! I've seen this weapon before! It's what the great Astrid would use.

The rider swung her axe, ready to end me. That's when I shouted out,''"No Alice wait!" . ''The axe was so close from making contact with me, until it stopped. I closed my eyes so I didn't know what was going on. When I opened my eyes, she was still standing infront of me. ''"How do you know my name?" ''she asked, looking serious. ''"Alice Larson, right?" ''I asked her, also looking serious. ''"Yeah... but how do you know?" ''she replied with. I looked at her right into the eyes, and she looked me into the eyes. ''"It's alright, Shadow Cloud. Chione is not a threat." ''I said to Shadow Cloud. "Who are you and how do you also know my Dragon's name?" she asked, now looking even more serious. ''"You mean your mother's Dragon?" ''I asked her. ''"Yes, but who are you?!?" ''she asked. ''"Alice, when you were only 4 years old, you left your brother and saw your father get murdered infront of you. You then went on to live a life with only your mother." ''I replied with. ''"If you don't tell me who your are, I'm going to kill you!" ''she shouted. I took a deep breath before saying what I was going to say. "Alice, I am your brother..."

Wow, that took long to type.
