Mayleen replaced her pen into the black box. And looked down on the floor at a brown leather bag. She picked up the bag and set it on her lap. She wondered what was inside it. The lore mistress began telling the Legend of the Dragon Riders. She set the scroll on the table in front of and listened. She knew little of the history. The stories were skewed because the dragon riders were native people. The townspeople did not get along with them.<br/><br/>She was taught Dragonopia was a mythologic place. Now she was going for real! She was taught the famous dragon riders were given one dragon egg. The dragon riders had super magical abilities. What lore mistress said intrigued her and she would put to memory all she said.<br/><br/>"All of the Dragon Riders had magical powers as well. Fearsome powers like being able to throw fire across the room just to turn a person to ashes…. Just like that! Some even were able to appear and disappear like ghosts. There were so many different powers that these Riders held that people became very scared of them. Scared enough to declare war on the Dragon Riders.<br/>At first it was just not coming to meetings when they were called or not showing up in court or not paying the high fees of protection.<br/>The Dragon Riders were not happy in the least. But they tried to reason with the people about needing their supplies and their taxes. Finally, the people seemed to give in. The Dragon Riders got their taxes and supplies but the food was tainted with various poisons and diseases."<br/><br/>This she thought was horrible and hopped the riders fought back.<br/><br/>"They tried to fight back without fighting. It did work for a while but after a while the Dragon Riders caught on. They had a mage who could tell diseased food from good food. The person who gave the diseased food had to cook it and eat several helpings as punishment for the crime of pestilence spreading.<br/><br/>Mayleen committed to memory the laws. She hoped she could live up to keeping the laws. Her own tribe had similar laws.<br/>"Here are the Laws that I have set so far. More will be added. These are based on what is considered to be the downfall of the last group of Dragon Riders.<br/>1) Leaders are Leaders-They must keep their morals higher, must have a monogamous relationship with their mate, will keep order and laws.<br/>2) All people are equally able to do jobs. Everyone has their own specialty.<br/>3) Males cannot force females to lay down for a pecking.<br/>4) Females cannot flaunt their wares.<br/>5) Everyone will pull their own weight and will do chores.<br/>6) Teachers will do their best to teach each student on an individual basis if they need extra tutoring".<br/><br/>When lore mistress asked for questions she looked around her before slowly standing, "Is it possible for us to visit or communicate with our tribal elders, friends, and families? What you say is important that my tribe ancestors were dragon riders. We have same laws. Elders need to know. We is taught a sacred place this Dragonopia."
