"I've never cooked before, nor have I done any hard labor. So I'm not sure of how much help I'll be. I do have a Vast knowledge, if that helps any." She felt ashamed and embarrassed. Growing up already decided to be a sacrifice since birth, they though there was no need for her to do any of that. But when she started to get bored and get into trouble, they decided to give her books to keep her mind occupied.

"Doesn't matter. Knowledge is great. Even if you don't have skills of any kind, that doesn't matter either. There's someone here willing to teach you," Aurelius reassured her, "We've had plenty of people come here with little knowledge or skill. One of the more recent ones couldn't read or write as an adult."
"I could teach people to read and write. Maybe I can start a school. That is if you don't have one already." She finally looked up and met Aurelius's eyes. Her face brightened up. She had always wanted to teach people. "I know a little history as well."
Isolde studied the girl, Robin, and smiled to herself 'would you like to fly?' she asked. Robin nodded and slowly walked forward. After a few minutes if struggling, she sat on Isolde and looked around. 'hold on child' Isolde said and took off. Robin screamed in shock then stopped, taking in the view 'amazing right?' she asked. Robin nodded and held onto Isolde tighter.
Some time later, they stopped on a rocky mountain point and Isolde turned towards Robin. 'I havent found my rider yet, but I sense a bond between us. Will you accept?' she asked. Robin nodded and suddenly felt more aware of her surroundings. Isolde laughed in joy and took off again, heading towards the village.
"We have a school, but new teachers and tutors are always more than welcome. We also have a huge library, if you're interested in that sort of thing."
He smiled at her.
"You'll find a place for sure."
A few minutes later, Isolde landed at the edge of the forest and Robin got off. "We should get a saddle for you."
(Do they have a book or something where they record who has a dragon and who doesn't?)
(I mean, they probably have records, yeah.)
(Alright)
"We should also record you in the Drago. Records." Robin said and walked towards her house. Intending on putting her basket inside and taking Isolde to the marketplace
"Alright." She looked around and the first thing that caught her eyes were the library. It was huge and she couldn't wait to explore it. But first, she needed new clothes, these were making her cold.
Robin walked over to the main hall thing and told the man working there to record Isolde and her. After that finished, she decided to go over to the blacksmith and have a saddle or something similar created so she didnt have to pull on Isolde's horns
Quincy was making her way to the blacksmith, Jade's bags were filled with metal. She spotted another girl and her walking towards the blacksmith. Quincy made her way towards them, "Hey. What's your name?"
"Who me?" Robin asked "I'm Robin, this is Isolde." She said gwsturnind to the reptile beside her. Isolde bowed her head in greeting and shrunk, climbing up Robin's leg and laying across her shoulders "what the…?!" Robin yelped. 'I guess I forgot to mention I could change sizes.' Isolde laughed
Quincy laughed and held out a hand for Robin, "I'm Quincy and this is Jade. Are you new in town?"
James had spotted a village while he was flying. He and River had landed a little while away, just in case this village didn't take kindly to dragons. He looked up at River, "Well, what do you think about this one?"
"It has no greater chance than the last one James," River responded with a snort, "But I do have a good feeling."
"Let's go then," James nodded walking off towards the village entrance.
"Alright." She looked around and the first thing that caught her eyes were the library. It was huge and she couldn't wait to explore it. But first, she needed new clothes, these were making her cold.
"Follow me," Aurelius said, leading Mara towards his own home so she could at least dry off and borrow some clothes.
Nox kept guard nearby, watching out for anyone she didn't know.
Riven stayed with Nox, he wanted to help in anyway that he could. "Your place is nice." It was… small, but cute. "Um, where's the bathroom?" Her wet clothes had started to smell and she wanted out of them.
Aurelius led her into the bathroom and handed her a towel.
"I'll bring you some dry clothes, too, and leave them outside the door. Sorry if they don't fit, but it's all I can do at the moment."
"Thank you." She shut the door and began to strip. It was hard to take off due to it sticking to her body, but she managed somehow. Taking the towel she dried off. The clothes appeared from under the door. The pants didn't fit at all, but the shirt, it was like a dress. Rummaging through her old clothes she pulled a white string and tied it around her waist. "That's better. I'm done." Walking out she was a bit embarrassed since she's never been dressed like this but it was better than being cold and wet.
"Good. We can get you something else to wear later. This'll just have to do for now. Sorry… Now, what was it you wanted? To dye your hair?" Aurelius asked.
"Ah, yes. White please." It felt weird asking for this, but it needed to happen. "Where am I going to stay? I don't have any money on me." As she walked out the door she patted Riven's neck. Mara felt that she was to harsh on him. He was a beautiful dragon, and she didn't hate him. A lot was on her mind.
"We can probably get you housing soon," Aurelius promised, "but in the meantime, you can stay with someone here. I'm sure anyone would be willing, including myself, but I don't really have anywhere else to sleep except for a sofa."
Quincy laughed and held out a hand for Robin, "I'm Quincy and this is Jade. Are you new in town?"
"Not necessarily I live on the outskirts, near the edge of the forest. I have a shop here where I sell handmade products and sometimes handmade treats. Do you work here?"
“Something like that,” Qunicy shrugged continuing her way to the blacksmith, “I make some of the metal for the black smith. Well most of it.”
"Mind making something for me? I've been flying with Isolde but I keep pulling her horns. Is there something g I can use without constraining her?" Robin asked
"You mean like a lead?" Quincy asked walking back to Jade to fish out some of her rope.
"Something like that but not of rope." Robin asked. 'what are you planning little bird?' Isolde asked. Robin smiled and rubbed her head "you will see."
"Then what do you want it made out of?" Quincy asked holding the rope with both hands. Jade began to reprimand her, "You're already exhausted enough as it is. You don't need to do this."
"Is it possible to have one created out of a soft metal? Something I can hook and unhook without having to touch it." Robin explained
(Kinda like hiccups from HTTYD)
"That's out of my skill level," Quincy sighed putting the rope away, "You'll have to talk to the actual blacksmiths."
"Oh, alright. If it's not possible, would a leather harness work?" She asked. Then she paused "sorry for seeming a little odd, I've never had a dragon." She said sheepishly
"No it's fine," Quincy laughed, "You're just asking the wrong person. I'm the local alchemist."
