Dragons must undergo thorough courtship traditions before others will be interested in breeding with them. The Grand Display pushes their skills to the limit, ensuring only the finest of Dragons will go on to breed. Each element has their own traditions to impress others of their kind, though this same practice can dissuade their opposing element from breeding. Regardless of this, achieving their own element’s Grand Display is a dream of every growing dragon, and they are eager to enter into the ceremony as soon as permitted.

Show your dragon traveling outside of their normal terrain (in example, if they are a Storm dragon, they could travel through a desert. there should be no sandstorms or anything that would make it cozier for them.)

Flexibility Trial


Sharkie hid behind the husk of a rock pillar, the sun blazing down over the parched lands, no wind blew to cool the area, but he paid it no mind, his entire focus on the small creature that was on a rock just infront of him, a lizard.... its hide a dull orange to hide in open sight, he just needed to wait a few moments more..... He lunged... but once again the tiny lizard scuttled off, its speed unmatched in the terrain it was suited to live in. Drooping a bit, Sharkie waddled back to his companions, his squeeks echoing around the area as he waved his arms to be picked up the two headed dragon couldn't lift him with arms... but her jaws were powerful enough to lift him onto her shell, sqieeking happily he waved at the struggling dragon nearby.

Rimla tried to control her fog, attempting to cloak herself, anything in an attempt to cloak herself against the sun, and the dry earth around her, even tthe might earth formations provided no relief, and the sun was at its peak, no shadows been cast.... and then there was the ash, clugging up the air as it fell from the nearby volcanic fields, their peaks glowing angrily... and the air... it was so still, no breeze to help the wind/dark hybrid, everything about this trial designed to test her. Lifing her starpearl she looked at Sharkie, the happy dragon lazing for a few moments... but soon he'd be back off hunting lizards... or anything really. Her raven, and that of her companion was resting on a shadowed place the dragon cast out.... Abby and Bess (well Abby) had offered to escort her for her flexibility trial; she'd been nervous.... but less so than if she'd have to go find a new companion for the trial. Rimla glanced longinly at the collossal dragons shadow, it would be soothing to seek shelter in it... but at the same time, she wanted to do this.

Sharkie slipped of the shell, spotting the small form of a lizard nearby, there was no sneakiness this time, he ran after it, sensing danger, the lizard fled, scuttling between the might earth pillars that bracketed the wastelands; sometimes it hid beneath bleached bones of things long since gone; Sharkie though would not be put off, Squeeking he peered inside the eye hole, causing the lizard to dart back off again, to escape the predator behind it... happilt Sharkie followed....

Bess narrowed her eyes as the small shark dragon chased the lizard..... but left him to his hunt, it was harmless.... Abby though kept her attention on the young female slowly draging her body over the hot and dry land; this was not the first time they'd brought a dark dragon this way, it was hard, but if they managed to do it, few terrains would be as harsh in the future.

Rimla flared her wings, drifing through the burning and still air, they were near, she knew that, just until the immense skeleton of an ancient ocean creature... and the shade were she could rest until nightfall; from further ahead she heard Sharkie's ecstatic cry, he must of finally caught a lizard....... and sure enough he waited for them in the dark shadows cast by the white bones; a lizard dangling in his arms, his hunt 'successful'. It was agonising but finally the first shadow touched her and she shuddered in relief, her body absorbing the darkness; it was still hot... but at least the shadows shielded her now. She blinked as the raven fluttered to her, and she shyly looked up at where the snail like dragon had come to a halt beyond the soothing shadows of bone, nearby Sharkie gleefully showed them both his 'catch'. "T-thank you." She whispered, closing her eyes and resting.
