Jeff felt satisfied as he finally reached an entrance into the Dragons' Mountain. He had climbed up it to see the Dragons. He had heard about the Dragons idea to select a Rider and he wanted to be one. He pulled up onto the ledge for the entrance and sat on the cold stone. He looked at his hands, feeling a smarting pain for the first time. They were bloody from the sharp rocks and there was dirt in the scratches. He winced as he touched them. He wiped them on his shirt, not caring if it stained it and ignoring the pain.

Sam looked at the elders "But You know I'm ready" she said. "You are not yet ready young one" the eldest said Sam sighed "Ok,you know best grand-papa" Sam said Sam hugged the elder around the neck. Sam had grown up with the dragons of the cave so all elder Males were her Grand-papa's, all The female elders were her grand-mama's and all the youngsters were her Siblings. Sam sighed and walked back to the cave entrance only to run into a boy maybe a few months older than her and 5'7. "Oops sorry" she said standing back up.

Jeff bit the inside of his cheek. He should've guessed that someone would be up here. "Sorry," he said in a gruff voice. When he took a second look at her, he was taken aback. She was quite beautiful. She had long white hair with blue streaks. To match with her blue streaks, she had beautiful ice blue eyes. She was a two inches shorter than him and thin. "I'm Jeff," he said, the first time he had ever provoked a conversation.

Sam smiled "I'm Sam" she said,she looked at his hands "you ever been up here before?" she asked "because there is a set of stairs over there" she said pointing to them. Sam took his hands and looked them over "Come on" she said "We need to get those wounds washed and cared for" Sam took him to the well and washed his hands in a cool clean bucket of the water,she threw the bucket of water out and then bandaged up his palms with gentle care. Sam's skin was rather pale and she wore a light blue dress(she is a girl and once she is a dragon-rider she will wear pants.) ((BTW her white hair with blue streaks is wavy.))

"Oh wow, didn't see those," he said, feeling stupid for not seeing the stairs. He flinched as the water washed over his hands. After she bandaged his hands, he thanked her. "So, what are you doing up here? Do you want to be a Rider too?" he asked.

Sam nodded "But they say I'm not ready yet" Sam said "how do your hands feel?" she asked "so I'm guessing your up here to become the next Dragon-rider" she said. Sam looked at Jeff,was she being nice as always or was she really falling for the boy she could not tell because she had never felt this way before. Sam knew it better to get to attached to any one with out finding out what they felt first. She had been rejected by her own family and she knew that it hurt very much to be rejected.

He looked down at his hand and flexed it by curling his fingers in and out. "Yeah, they feel fine." He looked up and the two locked eyes. "Yeah," he said and swallowed. He broke away from the lock and looked back down at his hand. He couldn't like this girl this quick. He tried to get rid of the feeling, but it wouldn't go away.

Sam looked at him "You should go" she said "the elders don't like to be kept waiting" Sam sighed and took his hand and led him to the elders,her hand tingled when she took his. "I guess I'll see you later" she said knowing she would wait for him at the entrance of the cave.

"Yeah, see ya," he said. He walked into the cave and waited for a dragon to greet him.
Saphira was dozing off, going through war strategies in her head but not really paying attention to them. She snapped back to reality when a new smell hit her nostril. She could smell human and faintly blood, but it wasn't Sam. She went over to the source and saw a young man standing near the entrance. "Hello, human," she said. "What are you doing here?"
Jeff jumped back when he heard the Head Dragon's voice. "Saphira," he said admiringly. He had never seen a dragon before and the blue scaled beast seemed so majestic in his eyes. "I am Jeff, I came to apply for a position as a Rider."
Saphira sized the man up. She asked him some questions to see if he was Rider material. She remembered the smell of blood and looked at his hands to see them bandaged. She inquired about them and she found out that he had climbed the mountain. Perhaps he was the right stuff. "We must see what the other dragons think about it, but they are out right now. So spend some time with Sam while she shows you around here while waiting for them to come back." She watched the human leave and went back to dozing.
Jeff walked back out of the cave, looking around for Sam.

Sam was drawing water out of the well and filling a canteen. she took a drink of the water and sighed. Sam took a bucket of water and gave it to the youngsters. then Took the bucket back. She took a full bucket to the elders on the way she ran in to Jeff again spilling all the water on the floor. she sighed and went to get a new bucket of water.

"Oh sorry!" he said. Seeing her with the bucket he rushed forward and took the bucket from her. "Let me take this," he said. "Where should I take it to now?"

Sam smiled "To the well" she said leading him to it. after the bucket was full she lead him back to the elder dragon's den "Saphira" Sam said "We got you some water" Sam took the bucket and poured it into a "bowl" Sam then took th bucket back to the well and left it there. Sam turned and looked at Jeff "So what did they say?" she asked him.

Jeff leaned against the well. "Saphira's gonna wait until the other dragons come back, and I think I might actually become a Rider," he said. "I think my climb up the mountain instead of taking the stairs sealed the deal," he remarked jokingly.

Sam sighed quietly and took a drink of the cold water and said nothing "Your lucky you know" she said "I have lived here my whole life and its like I have to be 100 years old before I can become a Dragon rider." Sam walked to the back of the cave where she stayed,she sat down on a chair and sighed. her wavy blue and white hair covered her face "I'm never going to become a Dragon-rider" she said "Its almost as If I was a baby to the elders."

Jeff looked at her in worry. "That's not true," he said, crouching next to the chair. He pulled back a strand of her hair to see her face. "The Dragons know what they're doing," he added. "You've just got to be patient."
