Young Writers Society

I just had this idea to make a storybook where it's a sort of game show.

Overview: The story takes place in a place called Northwind. Dragons and their trainers come from everywhere to compete in the annual event to see which dragon is the strongest. The winner would be crowned Dragon Champion.

Rules: 1.) No god like characters

2.) Must specify what land you come from. (Can be made up or a real place)
3.) No killing off characters unless otherwise specified and a talk between the characters takes place.
4.) Your character can be any species (Vampire, Werewolf, etc.)

Lyin looked down from Hyte's back and sighed. Here she was again, looking down on the hard lines of the hills that surrounded the competitions arena. It had only been a year, but she already missed it. This trophy had evaded her for years and she was determined to get it.

She thought about the competition, the information had said that Hyde was back, her mind fizzed in agitation, she'd beat him this year no doubt. He was the one that had knocked her out of the first round last year, and she could never forgive him.

She turned her dragon towards the area clearly marked for them and alighted on the firm ground. She'd arrived.

Siren flew around the arena,

"We'll win this time," She laughed to Neo.

'THat is what you said last year.' He laughed,

"Dont even say that, it wasn't my fault I got to hurt to keep battleing." She frowned.

'I still want to kill that girl that did that to you." He hissed.

"It wasn't her fault, I was being stupid, that is all." She scratched his neck in his favorite spot, she had to scratch under a scale to do that but she didn't care.

Jackle was ready for another year at the competition. He didn't win last year but he didn't care much. He liked showing off Eko to the crowd. He was a good dragon to have.
"You ready?" Jackle asked Eko.
"You already know I am." Eko replied. They descended and landed at the entrance to the dragon stables.
"The competition looks tough this year. Doesn't it?" Jackle asked.
"No more than last year. You need to stop worrying so much. What happened last year was not your fault." Eko replied. They both checked in.

Tyr bent over Fryten's neck. "Nice, smooth landing now, Fryten." Skimmiming over the grass, Fryten extended his talons and gave a massive flap of his wings. Landing softly, Tyr grunted in approval. "Nice one."
"I have been landing long before you were born, Tyr. Of course it is perfect." Fryten shook his head in amusment.
Tyr laughed and dismounted, determined to scope out the compitittion.

'We need to land." Neo said, 'You will be able to study the compatition (sp) better that way." Siren laughed,

"Alright, lets land and see if we can find Jackle." She said as Neo landed.

'That boy needs to win one of these days." Neo laughed,

"No he doesn't it'll just boost his ego more." She laughed, "Naw, it would be cool to see him win if we can't."

Tyr lead Fryten towards the stables. Fyten shook his head in annoyance. "I hate these stables!"
Tyr nodded. "It's nothing compared to the forest, I agree. But it is necessary, my friend."
Signing the register, Tyr went in search for his dragon's quarters. Fryten snorted in disapproval. "I stay there?"
"Apparently. Look, go find somewhere to sunbathe. I'll call you when I need you."
Fryten nodded, and left the stables in search of a more appropriate, as far as he was concerned, place to relax.
Moving towards the exit, Tyr noticed another of the dragons. He was white, and much more mature then his own Fryten. The rider was a young human, by human standards, but Tyr was aware that he was not far off his equal. Twenty-one, by elven standards, was barely out of childhood. Even for halfbreeds.
Stopping, he nodded to him. "Hey. I'm Tyr. Nice dragon," Tyr turned to the dragon. "If you do not mind me saying."
The boy answered. "I'm Jackle. This is Eko. Where's your dragon?"
"Sunning himself somewhere. He's a young red, with ram's horns. If you see him, his name's Fryten." Tyr grinned. "Like most young dragons, he responds well to compliments."

**Hope you don't mind, I had to get him talking to someone**

Siren landed and they saw Jackle talking to a girl.

"Your not going over there." Neo hissed.

"Neo, forgive and forget." Siren said, *I hope you don't mind nutty*. "Now land, please." They did and Siren walked over to the group. Neo following close behind.

"Hey Jackle, its good to see you back." She smiled. "Hey Tyr."

"Hey! good to see you, Siren. How have you been?" Jackle asked.
"I'm doing fine. So, is this your dragon?" Siren asked back.
"Yes. His name is Eko. He's a Wyvern." Jackle answered. Eko stretched his neck and his wings.
"I think I'm going to go get something to eat." Eko said tiredly.
"Yeah, yeah. Go get something to eat. I forgot that you get cranky if you don't get seven square meals a day." Jackle said as he patted Eko on his front leg. Eko walked off. He shook the ground with his massive weight.
"How old is he?" Tyr asked Jackle.
"I think he is about 457 years. He's old to human standards. But to dragon standards he's still very, very young." replied Jackle.
"When does the tournament start?" Tyr asked.
"It starts in a week. Tonight we have a giant festival to mark the start and then for the remainder we train, touch up our dragons, sleep, eat again, then it begins. They should give who we are matched up against today." Siren explained.

**Tyr is a guy, by the way**

"Sounds good. The dragons from where I come must age faster." Tyr mused.
"What do you mean?" asked Jackle.
"Fryten is only 125. And he's old enough to be ridden." At the end of the stables, Fryten poked his head in the door. "Tyr! Are you going to talk all day?"
Siren nodded towards Fryten. "And this is him, I take it?" Tyr nodded, grinning at his scaly friend. "Have you not heard of socialization?"
Fryten snorted. "Whatever. Find me when you're ready." His head disappeared.

Lyin walked Hyte towards the stables and stopped when she saw who was there.

Hyde.

"So?" Hyte inquired, "are you going to forgive and forget, or treat him like the piece of dirt I know you want to."

Lyin shot a perfunctuary look at her dragon and gave an extra hard tug to get her to keep walking. "You know very well that I'm a good sportsman at alll times."

"In other words when you have to be."

"Whatever."

They came to the stables and signed the register. Lyin sighed, she had to face him at some point. It didn't help that Hyte was nudging her in the back every step of the way. She stopped as she approached the group and smiled.

"Tyr," Tyr nodded at her, "it's good to see you, how have you been?"

"Fine, fine. how's your dragon?"

"She's doing great," she turned to Hyte and stroked her down her snout, Hyte gave a throaty growl that Lyin had come to recognise as her purr, "Your ideas really helped her last year."

"I'm off," Hyte said, "I'll see you later."

"Alright," Lyin replied reluctantly, "don't make too much of a nuisance of yourself."

Hyte laughed and walked away towards her quarters. Lyin turned to Jackel, and her smile dissappeared.

"So, what have you been up to?" She asked frostily.

"Neo is the same, he grew faster," Siren said, She saw Lyin look at Jackel, it was well known that there was tension between the two. She smiled, she always loved watching them talk sense they were always so tense and straight forward.
