OKay there seems to be a lot of confusion. So i'll try to clean it up the best I can.
My first idea was that we'd receive the dragons as eggs but Forsakin and Untameable helped me come up with an even better idea.

The Kneeling ceremony. This is the second idea. In this ritual we're all taken through a cave with a tunnel that leads to the peak of table top mountain. Looks kinda like this:

Spoiler! :

First and second day of kneeling
Spoiler! :
The instructor then explains that in order to get your dragon you must earn the right to fly him. The dragon chooses the rider not the other way around. So what you have to do is walk out on to the rocks and bow. The dragons will start flying circles in the sky above you like crows eying their next meal. You continue to bow until their's only one dragon left in the sky. That'll be the dragon that chooses you. When the dragon lands on the table top it'll look you in the eye. You can't look away if you do it shows a sign of weakness and the dragon will attack if you don't the dragon will eventually kneel and accept you as its rider. This part of the ritual takes up to two days with four cadets performing it on the first day and the last four performing it on the second day.


Third day: Naming ceremony
Spoiler! :
On the Third day all of the cadets return to table top mountain on the night of the new moon where we'll conduct the naming ceremony. A bon fire will be lit on the table top and all of the students will each take turns going to the ledge where their chosen dragons will kneel before them. This time you must touch your dragons on the top of their heads just between the ears(or horns if the have horns). The instructor will give you an enchantment to say to summon the magic of bonding. A rune will burn on your hand matching the rune on the dragon's forehead. These Runes are called (can you guess?!) Runes of Brendor named after the first dragon to form a bond with a rider. Once the rune is complete the dragon will tell you its name.


So I hope that answer's all the questions.

So... are we just going to try and restart from landing? And if so, do we just delete our posts, our super-ultra-edit?

unless we ignore all of those other posts entirely and just keep going.

Back to my post, the one before my last one? It was the last one to make enough sense...

yeah sure! But it'd have to be somewhere the younger kids can't notice. Like maybe in the great hall of the academy or something. I suggest we just focus on the cadets and handle that other business when they finally reach it.

Profile Owner: Scarlett
Name: Jocasta Redwolf / Shiva (Bronze)

Age: 13.

Gender: Female.

Appearance: Jocasta is tall for a 13-year-old and has red hair and grey-green eyes. She is always seen limping and has a scar that runs down the back of her right thigh.

Spoiler! :
Image


Kingdom: Aronim.

Personality: Jocasta isn't shy, but she's not confident which often leads you to wonder why she's so quiet. Thoughtful, smart and quick thinking, Jocasta seems shy and people often think she's stupid, but she's just biding her time. She's stealthy and, despite her limp, moves around quietly when she wants to. Watch your back, Jocasta might just put a dagger in it. She can't be trusted at all.

Class set: Warrior.

Skills: She's not fast, but she can throw daggers and use a bow (Ranged combat). Flying; she loves to fly. Take her dragon away and she'll be practically useless.

Weaknesses: Magic; she's hopeless at it, unless it's dragon magic. Jocasta has a limp-something heavy was dropped on her right thigh when she was younger. Jocasta is hopeless in close combat; her strengths lies in ranged combat. Her dragon; kill or hurt Shiva and both would suffer. Kill Jocasta and both would die.

Up for love? Sure, why not.

Other: Jocasta's nickname is "Cat". Can only keep a secret if she benefits from it.

Weaknesses: being mysterious, though she can keep secrets

Up for love?: Of course

Other: She always wears this around her ankle (:It's an ankle locket by the way:) :
