Lidia did not hesitate coming forward, "W'ere me sign, Lore Mistress?" She removed her gloves and she presented her hands. "I ain't done t'is for peoples." She made tiny sparks from her fingers,"Mistress, can ya 'elp me be better?"<br/><br/>A soon as the Lore Mistress said, "Yes, I can teach you how to control your magic..."<br/><br/>Lidia, with a smile, read the scroll, removed the quill, dipped in the ink well, and wrote on the scroll:<br/><br/>I, Lidia Vialdi, do declare to have the desire to be a Dragon Rider. I shall obey the rules of Dragonopia Academy and will respect all who enters Dragonopia. I will listen and take advice of The Lore Master. I will take good care of the Dragonling that chooses me. I will raise the Dragonling with care, love and patience. My Dragonling and I will be a team of the famed Dragon Riders who will defend Justice, Law and Order.<br/>I will have five years of raising a Dragonling and will give five years of service to the Dragonopia Academy in repayment for the education, supplies, housing, clothing and Dragonling.<br/><br/>Lidia blew on the ink and proudly handed it to her teacher.<br/><br/>"Lore Mistress, me promise to do me best an learn all yas can learn me."<br/><br/>Then returned to her seat. She tapped Garth and whispered, "Yas been in sc'ool before. W'at it like?"<br/><br/>After Ixonia returned to her seat, Lidia faced the Gypsy unsure if Ixonia was happy or sad, "Ya gots a playen partner an promise ta make sure ya  'ave some fun. Wat instrument ya play?"<br/><br/>The she watched as Jiao and Yeeru and the other student filed to sign. Lidia knew would see a lot of Jiao and hoped the teacher would like her. The farmer's daughter had no idea what to expect.
