Venti chuckled. "What did you expect?" She led her through the maze of stacked books until they came to the other side of the room and an extremely large doorway that was impossible to see from the other side because of the even larger clutter of books.

"How are we supposed to open this?" Yuki asked, eying the door.

ooc: No, there isn't a door just an entrance. Sorry. I wanted to say 'an open door' but it didn't sound right and neither did just using entrance. I thought doorway would feel more like just a place to walk through than a barrier. I guess that was a bit of a communication snafu.

OOC: ok. I'll jyst post a new response and strike through the other.
BIC: "I guess this is it. So your dad and Elder Ironbark will be past here?" I asked, still a little nervous.

ooc: You posted in first person. "Yep. No need to be nervous though, they have both already met you." Venti told her, although it almost sounded like she was trying to reassure herself. The room on the other side was mostly empty except for the two dragons waiting for them and although Yuki have met, having them in the same room emphasized the Elder's size even more as he towered over Venti's father, making the younger dragon almost look like a child if he didn't towered over them already.

Yuki felt like a mouse among lions. She was suddenly at a loss for words and nervously stood, barely withholding a nervous shake. All the worse case scenarios were going through her head she scooted a little closer to Venti without even thinking about it.

"Here she is Dad, Elder Ironbark." Venti greeted them and nudged Yuki to greet them as well, but before she could Ironbark's head descended down to them with his normal pleasant smile and stopped in front of Yuki. After looking at her he spoke up. "You have changed since the last time we met, you are indeed dragon now." His head traveled back to where it came from and he chuckled. "I'm not sure if I'm a little disappointed." "Elder Ironbark." Typhoon said sternly. "Oh yes, of course." The Elder smiled and both of them looked back at Yuki.

"Umm... H-Hi-hello sirs." Yuki managed to say. Elder Ironbark held a calming air about him but she couldn't remember what to call Venti's dad.

"Snow or rather Yuki." Typhoon spoke up and was interrupted by the Elder. "See!" Ironbark grinned. "I knew you weren't a Snow." "Yuki." Typhoon continued. "We've heard from Lance and extensively from Ventuswill. Now we would like to hear from you, so please tell us what you have to say."

"Well what do you want to know?" Yuki said, not even sure what to say. She was more stalling then specifying.

"Just tell them anything." Venti whispered to her as the two dragons waited.

"Umm... I'm really happy to be here. MY house is nice. I'd invite you over, but you might not fit inside. Venti and Bliss have been great friends and Lace was amazing out there. Sorry about running out by the way..." This dribble poured forth unending as she found little things to talk about, but didn't really talk about anything.

Ironbark laughed and Typhoon lifted up a claw to show her she should stop. He took a deep breath. "Leaving the Ridge was indeed a serious matter. Putting yourself in danger like that and ultimately having to put Lance in danger. But most of the blame for that falls on Bliss and Ventuswill." He said looking sternly towards his daughter who's attention was suddenly occupied by something on the roof. "That said." Ironbark spoke up. "I doubt there are many dragons that wouldn't have done the same thing Venti did. Although there were better ways to handle it as well. It was a shock to find you all gone though. I had my suspicions, but when I heard everything fell into place and it send a chill up my old bones." "But there will be enough time to lecture you all about that in the days to come." Typhoon said. "Right now we're here to discuss your future, Yuki."

Yuki nodded quietly, expecting the worse, hoping for the best, and feeling time slowly tick away in the moments of anticipation.

"Usually a meeting like this would include all the Elders in the Valley." Typhoon said. "But under the circumstances we didn't want to overwhelm you. It's important that you should know that everyone will learn who you really are. A human that is now a dragon. And it may be hard for some dragons to accept you, but since you already have good friends I believe you'll be fine. You should still know this though. And then there is the issue of you being a 'new' dragon. You will need to learn about us and our ways, things that little whelps already know and are common knowledge to us."

"Yes. I think Venti mentioned school with her or something." She said, more hopeful than anything else.

"Yes." Ironbark said this time. "We have decided that you'll be studying with Venti, although not the same subjects. Venti will be kind of your tutor." "There is also the issue about what you want to do." Typhoon continued. "What work you'll do or tasks you'll perform. We need to consider getting you an apprenticeship or what to prepare you for. So I'd like you to tell us about yourself. Your interests and what it means for you to be a dragon?"

OOC: I went back to her character sheet to see if I had any interests or anything I could work with to reply to this, and found quite the opposite. I'm actually at a loss here. Maybe you can help me out. theweddingrp.boards.net/post/17243/threadBIC: "Umm... To be completely honest, even as a human I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. I was going to school as I tried to figure out just that. As far as my interests..." She said, trying to think of something since going to parties and hanging out with friends didn't seem a good choice, "I guess I Was into the book and the humanities. General ed stuff. I was actually looking up a book on dragons when I first came here for a school assignment on cultural myths and legends."

"Yes, this does remind me that I want talk to you about your human world." Ironbark said. "I'm very interested about how humans are now especially since learning that humans from our world come from and went back to there. But that can wait for another time. You have already spend some time among us, right? Is there anything that interested you? Anything that you imagined yourself doing or being? Anything that you had fantasies about?"

Yuki thought about it for a second, "Well... I guess I really enjoy flying. I'd like to get really good at that."

"That's a start." Ironbark said. "We could arrange a private tutor for you." Typhoon added. "I'm take it you've learned from Ventuswill and Bliss so far? But a professional therapist would be able to see any small details that your friends might miss that could lead to long time injuries." "It's also clear that you'll need time to experience more of our society." Ironbark said. "Go out and see what it is we do, how we do it. See what interest you and what you may like and dislike. So what I'm trying to say is that it would be a good idea to go out with your friends and have some fun before you make any serious commitment."

"Sounds like college alright. I've been getting to know the others living in the den. I think burn was going to help me fly too. She's a red dragon." Yuki said, more comfortable now.

"I assume she did not know you were a human either?" Typhoon told Yuki. "So she would not be paying attention that would be needed. I would be more at ease knowing that you are receiving the right instruction." He said with an air of finality. "Which brings us to our next subject. You are at an age where it is normal for a dragon to live on their own and support themselves. But that doesn't mean they do not have any support to lean on. Every one of your friends at your den has family that are there when they are needed. As a dragon now, you do not. But we do want to give you the same opportunity. As you are already close to my daughter I would like you to consider us your family. Our home will be open to you at any time and you may come to me for advice or help or whatever needs you may have. You have not yet met Ventuswill's mother, but when she returns you may expect the same from her. In return I will be expecting you to act properly and will be receiving regular reports from your guardian informing me that you are treating your den with respect."

"In a way yes." Typhoon said. "You will be recognized as part of our family. I realize you may still have parents that you had to leave behind and I don't know how you feel about that or how you would feel about suddenly having to join a new family. But you may take your time to get used to the idea. In the meantime you will have our full support." Venti's tail flapped against the floor. "We're going to be sisters." She whispered excitedly.

"I, don't know what to say other than I would be honored to be a part of your family. If you would have me." She said, excited but sleep rather meek be it from nervousness or a little bit of shock.

"Then it's settled." Typhoon announced. "And then lastly we come to a very serious matter." Ironbark said, his usual pleasant smile replaced by worry. "Do you recall what we once talked about when you asked if another creature could turn into a dragon and what I told you about the skeletons? Well, you have not just proven that another creature can be turned into the image of a dragon or a dragon completely, but also that humans are still able to come to our world." He lift up a claw. "Not that we have any doubts about your character, you have more than proven your right as a dragon. This does however means that the skeletons may succeed in something we previous thought they could not. It means that we will need to be more careful than ever. But it also means that it could make you a target for them if they find out about you, so for your own safety I want you to be careful." "Especially when thinking about going near or outside the Ridge." Typhoon said. "Which I will remind you is FORBIDDEN!" He slammed his claw on the ground as his voice rumbled throughout the room and Venti's eyes were again searching the ceiling.

Yuki went quiet, remembering the wraith and their travels beyond the ridge and visibly shook, "Oh no. I have no desire to go out there again." She said, sitting down and rubbing her arm with her opposite claw. She was searching the floor for whatever as she thought back to their excursion outside.

"I believe Radiant Typhoon's concern isn't only directed at you." Ironbark told Yuki, his easy smile back as he looked over to Venti who was content at being content with the ceiling. "But please be mindful of what we've told you. As safe as it is inside the Ridge the enemy can be surprisingly cunning at times. A trait of the humans that had unfortunately not left them when they changed."

"Of course Elder." Yuki did, looking up to the two and regaining her composure.
