《Starsky Academy》13.

Dean Ramino stood at the front of the cafeteria hall.
Every single student was watching her in an ominous silence.
The Dean's voice was troubled, even scared, as she first explained what was going on. For once, nobody talked with their friends. Everybody's breath was held in anticipation as the bad news was delivered.
"Today," She began, "A troubling event occurred. As everyone here knows, Starsky Academy is a very well protected and fortified building. However, somehow, the Nursery, where new dragon eggs are cultivated, has been attacked."
There was a unanimous gasp shared between dragons and riders.
"Nine dragon eggs were taken. The two guarding dragons, Lucianna and Rosemary, were sadly killed protecting the eggs inside. We will forever remember them in our hearts." The dean wiped at her eyes quickly. "I have known those dragons since they were still eggs. Both Lucianna and Rosemary were courageous and loving individuals."
I didn't even know what to do.
Dragons had been killed? Eggs stolen? The Nursery attacked?
Why? By who?
"But," The dean now raised her voice over the fearful murmuring of students.
"I can assure you that this will not happen again. We do not know who the attackers are, or their purpose for attacking in the first place. But we will be diligent. From now on, we are establishing a Youth Guard. Those students who excelled at melee and dragon combat both will be required to join the Guard. If I call your name now, stand with your dragon near me." Dean Ramino's voice echoed through the room.
Of the students in my year, five were called.
"Julian Dunkeld, Noah Montano, Lucinda York, Amber Starseer, and Lana Pennington."
I turned to Amber, whose blue eyes were staring at my green ones. Then I shrugged and jogged through the cafeteria to stand near the Dean. Everyone's eyes were on us.

Five were chosen from the second years, and ten from the third years.
"Students aside from the Youth Guard are not allowed to exit school grounds for any reason. Should you need to, come and speak to me. Now, make sure you all stay calm because everything is going to be just fine. We will figure this out, and we will put an end to this immediately." The Dean's voice was icy.
I scanned the faces in the crowd, trying to put a determined fire in my eyes. I looked over the students in my year, visualizing each of their faces in my mind. I knew now that it would be my duty as part of the Youth Guard to protect the school along with Avyn.
Wait.
Something was off.
No.
Something was missing.
I looked at everyone once more.
It was the new kid, Aiden Blackwell. He wasn't here.
Come to think of it, he hadn't even been at the flying course.
What had he been doing?

8 106Lost souls, will be rewritten soon. (Old version)
In a world where mages stand above the peasants, the nobles, and the law, it is not surprising that everyone wants to learn magic. Five siblings from a village in the middle of nowhere felt the same. Unfortunately, a dragon brought ruin to their home, eventually cornering the five blood brothers. Luz, the eldest brother, ignored the warnings of his ancestors for the sake of their survival. Using an ancient teleportation spell, he and his siblings were sucked into a portal leading to God-knows-where. In a foreign place far from home, Luz carries the burden of disobeying his ancestors and losing his younger brothers. He sets off to reunite his siblings and slay the dragon that destroyed their village while only being equipped with one useless space spell that drains all his mana after one usage. Author's note: English isn't my first language and this is the first novel I tried writing, which is why some of the earlier chapters aren't that good, even though I grew better over time. I'm still in the phase of editing a lot of my earlier chapters. But unfortunately, I haven't yet found any time for it. Daily updates are to be expected till we reach chapter 100. If your comment motivates me, I might upload up to five chapters.^^
