Mind Pairing 3

Quarreling voices could be heard in the halls of Wilgen Castle. The Deep Cavern was excavated into the rock of the mountain below the human quarters and the area was accessible to draks from the outside. At least it would be if part of it hadn't been closed off to protect Johkian's clutch.
The brown earth drak was arguing with the plant sire of her clutch, Uundo. Both were stubborn draks and the combination had caused quite a few roars and bellows to disturb the residents of Wilgen Castle. Luckily there weren't too many to be bothered by it.
"I've had enough." Johkian finally growled, "Call the asspirantzs!"
What people were present hurried to the Deep Cavern, down winding stairs into the stony mountain. A chill wind blew in but the chill subsided as draks blocked the entrance with their bodies, intent to see the draklings step outside.
Epelia, a fencer from Dun Keiba was the first to appear down the stairs, taking them in a manner that might not be deemed safe. She was followed by Ior, a green-haired rune-fighter. A few minutes later Paul, a musician from around Acicade Castle joined them and then Daniel, a former servant with long red hair. More aspirants had been gathered but Johkian was not waiting any longer.
She strode out, followed by her draklings. One of them stood out, the bright gold and red of his fire colouration clashing with the cold grey and brown of the stone and wood.
"Giando." Johkian introduced the fire drakling as he moved toward Epelia without a doubt.
"I like your khlothesss." the fire declared, trying to catch one of the slips of her shirt.
A rain female pushed ahead next, her bright eyes glancing at the remaining people in the cavern. Her gaze slowed when she noticed Ior and then she just decided that she liked the twinkle in his eyes.
"Let'z have lotss of fun." she offered.
"Feidoan behave!" Johkian rumbled but no-one would be keeping these two in check.
A white-brown earth hatchling, being the reverse of his mother, let out a small noise to ask for approval to move next.
"Brando." Johkian said with a nod.
The earth stepped toward Paul without a doubt and confided:
"I knew it wass you."
A grey-gold ore female quietly stepped away from her mother. She believed in quiet contemplation and weighing her choices. After careful deliberation she'd concluded that the last remaining aspirant was hers.
"Uedoan." Johkina declared her daughter's name as she went to her chosen.
"I'll train with you." she told the young fighter.
Although no official aspirants were left, an all brown mud drakling detached himself from his mother.
"Ruando." Johkian said.
The earth drak glanced over at the draks, assuming her son would choose one from among them. But Ruando had other plans. He went straight for the record keeper whose voice he'd heard at times while she came in to try and ask Johkian about her clutch. The sound had appealed to him and he was determined to make her his.
"I want to stay with you. I'm good at counting!" the drakling said and demonstrated his skills by starting the count.
The last drakling stayed hidden in their mother's shadow. Loud steps indicated a late arrival was near. As one of the aspirants hurried inside, the drakling craned out her head.
But it wasn't the human she looked at. Her eyes met a fierce fire drak who'd hatched at Abazzu only a few years ago. Barely considered an adult, the fire drak had in fact been through a lot and was now recovering at Wilgen from wounds he'd suffered in battle with the Nex. The forest drakling carefully approached the older male and let out a delighted sound as she noticed the spider hiding behind his wings.
"Be gentle, Xedoan." Johkian admonished her daughter.
But the drakling needn't be told to be kind and sweet. She was plenty of that already. She snuggled up close to Evlaroom who awkwardly let her.
"I'll stay with you." she simply stated.
The draklings and their squires were escorted to the waiting feast where they would be joined by the active knights to look for a suitable trainer.
