Spoiler! :
Everyone on Dunia thought that the Dragons and their famed Riders were dead. No one had seen them for centuries, after all. But, unknown to the rest of the continent, two DragonRiders were in hiding with the last ten Dragon eggs in existence in their care. For centuries since the DragonRiders were forgotten, they waited with their precious keep for the time to be ripe. They waited for a time when something lurked in the shadows, when people were afraid, when war loomed, and when the DragonRiders were needed again. That time has come, for rumors say that something evil has lodged itself in the unexplored mountain ranges of the north, and that it threatens to destroy the continent. The High Council in their shining capitol city, Dari Menara, has already sent troops to explore, and none have returned. Towns and villages in the northern tundras have been burned and raided with none left alive. People are afraid, for a long age of peace has made the army weak. No one knows anything solid about the enemy because no one who has encountered it has come out alive. Fear, suspicion, and blame is turning people against the High Council; and the elders are now telling tales of the DragonRiders once again.
Where You Come in:
Spoiler! :
To allay the suspicions and fears of the people, the High Council in Dari Menara has declared a feast day in all the cities of Dunia. In the castle grounds of every city, people take advantage of the feast day to rest and have fun. Merchants from far and wide have come to sell their wares. Puppet shows, plays, gypsies, magic men, storytellers, dancers, and musicians have flocked to the courtyards to entertain the people and, hopefully, make a little money.
Your character spots a fortune-teller's stand and comes over. Sitting outside is a cloaked figure. He seems to be running the stand. You approach him and he seems to study you, though you can't see his face because of the deep cowl on his cloak. After a minute of this, he leads you inside without a word, closing the curtain behind you. He takes off his cloak and reveals himself to be a tall, young-looking man with blonde hair, blue eyes and a trustworthy face. This fortune telling booth seems unlike others you've seen before. Anyway, you sit down at one end of the table and he sits at the other. Instead of doing some mumbo-jumbo and making you pay for it, he has you tell you about yourself. (You are traveling alone, have little/no family to miss you, you are low on the social ladder and have little to no ties to any one place.) You wonder why, and he tells you that he predicts the future, but can't read the past. He just likes to know a bit about someone so it is easier to read them, that's all. Then he has you put your hands on his crystal ball while he puts one hand under the table and one hand on top of yours. Now he peers into it, and it begins to glow a bit. Then it pulses, then the pulsing glow gets brighter. You realize it is pulsing to the beat of your heart. He looks at you with narrowed eyes, then back at the crystal ball. Then back at you. Then he says something scary:
"You have been chosen. What is about to happen will change your life forever, if you want it. If you come with us, you must leave everything you know behind. Are you willing?"
You pause, frightened, but then the pulsing of the crystal ball glows brighter. You know you probably shouldn't trust this man, but you nod yes anyway. He takes the hollow crystal ball off to reveal that under the table, the thing that is glowing is a Dragon egg.
He and another woman you didn't see before pack up the stall in a manner of minutes, and you ride off with them right then and there. And as you gallop away from the city on one of their horses, you realize that you are about to become a DragonRider.

SB Rules
Spoiler! :
1) Cursing is allowed for realism, but try to keep it PG-13.
2) Romance is allowed. In fact, it's encouraged; by the end of this SB there should be six pairs of Riders all ready to make more Dragons.
3) Sex is allowed, but don't get all graphic and detailed. Again, keep it PG-13
4) No god-modding. That's my job : P
5) Don't go changing the rules about being a DragonRider. I'll be flexible, but if you have an idea please run it through me in the DT first.
6) Don't join unless you have the time to post at least once a week, because this storybook need time and effort.
7) I expect all posts to be consistent with the map of Dunia, so we can keep all the locations of things straight in our heads
There can only be ten Dragon-Rider pairs, since two of them are already mine. A Dragon-Rider pair counts as one character page.
9) Have lots of great ideas! That's why I made this SB; I need ideas for my novel, where this ACTUALLY happens.
10) I hope you don't mind if I actually use your ideas in my book, but if I do and my book gets published with your ideas in it, I will definitely give everyone the credit they deserve!
11) Most of all, have fun!
