Marble: Ok, Thanks

…...

As Marble and Terrison landed on the platform of the Temple, they took in the architecture of the place. The Temple was a monolithic structure, towering high above the city around it. Its grand spires pierced the sky like spears, and the great statues that surrounded it stood tall and proud. The buildings around it, which at any other time would have stunned the two orphans in to silence, were dwarfed by the magnificent beauty of the Temple. Needlesss to say, Marble and Terrison were left speechless.

As they advanced up the platform they noticed several Dragon guards who were guarding the entrance, they all wore purple cloaks with the symbol of the dragon in the front of the chest area. They permitted Spyro and his family through with no questions, then they came to Charcoal.

"Master Charcoal, it is good to see you." The one on the right said,

"Yilka, It is very good to see you as well what has it been two, three years?" Charcoal Replied with a Warm smile on his face,

Yilka, the guard laughed then pulled down his cloak revealing a Light Green scaled dragon.

"Two years, we need to catch up some time but go on to the feast, everyone is dying to see you and your...Apprentices?" Yilka questioned that last part as Terrison and Marble strode up to be next to Charcoal. Charcoal with his wing pushed up Marble so he was right in front of the dragon guard.

"This one is my apprentice, his name is Marble. Marble, Yilka" after Charcoal had introduced him Marble put out a paw into the cold night air as the green dragon raised his paw, and shook it. His grip was very firm and his hands were very cold, very very cold. His grip was so cold that Marble was even shivering from the touch of the poison dragon's paw.

Yilka laughed and retracted his paw, "Sorry about that, we Poison dragons are known for our cold Scales, some side effect of having the cold liquid through our veins." Yilka then put the paw back in his cloak, Marble recovering from the icy paw put a smirk on his face.

"It's quite fine, many times have I had to...Deal, with the paw of a poison dragon I just trust you will be nicer then he was." After Marble's remark, Yilka took a glance at Charcoal and all Charcoal did was just shake his head, as if gesturing to not press the issue.

"It's nice to meet you. Now who are you young dragon." Yilka said, now facing Terrison.

"My name? My name is Terrison."

Yilka nodded his head. "Ahh, Charcoal he is with you guys correct."

Charcoal nodded."Yes, seeing as Ascelpius is in need of a helpers to treat the dragons, I think bringing a silver dragon will be of great valute."

Yilka nodded then nodded to his fellow comrade who was guarding the door, he opened it and stepped out of the way for them.

"Don't be strangers visit us any time." The group padded their way inside were they were met with the soft light of the torches of the great Chamber. The room was fitted with several cushions to provide seating for Dragons on important business, or for Students who needed a quiet place to relax. In the center of the room stood a great statue.

The statue had two dragons, sitting side by side, Spyro and Cynder. Over the years, the pair had grown to be quite famous, Many forgave Cynder knowing it wasn't her actions, Spyro became a celebrity being sought after by many female dragons to become their mate, but they were all 'Dispatched' when Cynder came along. They soon became wanted to become King and Queen of the dragon Kingdom but knowing Spyro didn't want to have more on his plate, they refused.

After passing the great room they walked through another long always this one leading to a rectangular room with more small cushion. This room had several doorways which led to other wings of the building. There were four Corridors to be exact. Two to the right and two to the left.

The ones to the left led to the living quarters the top right, the Guardians, the bottom right to the Male Students. The ones to the left led to the indoor training ring, and the dining room. Then at the end of the room was another door which led to A stairwell which led to the Library, and more living quarters for the Apprentices.

At first Marble and Terrison became confused and tried to walk down the lower left corridor before Charcoal stopped them and pointed them to the right direction. They walked up to the corridor and followed it down till they heard the noises of Musical instruments, and loud Chatter. And as soon as they entered the room they were awestruck

It was a grand Room that could easily be converted into a Ballroom if needed. The room had several wooden tables, two large ones with cushioned seats that dragons could sit on and eat. On the table next to those was another table that sat many meats, fruits, and other food. And in front of that were several mole musicians.

At the tables were seated many of the guardians, and around them out of their seats and chatting with several other dragons were the apprentices. They ranged in many different sizes, genders, and colors.

Kristala and Pich were socializing with a light red dragoness, A yellow dragoness, and a blue dragon. Seeing as they had no where to go they bid farewell to Charcoal and slowly padded over to the group.

"...He then slammed the door and bared it."

At this the group seemed to erupt into guffaws, Kristala meanwhile looked about ready to strike at any given moment, Marble saw this as an opportunity and slowly walked up to the group and sat himself down.

"That may have been funny but Kristala aren't you forgetting something." At that Kristala got a mischievous grin on her face and faced back to the group.

"I though I was going to have to wait until they un-barred the door but my Friend Marble here helped" Kristala nodded toward the newly arrived Marble and Terrison who happened to sit down next to him.

"Helped?" The Red Dragoness asked, puzzled. Kristala nodded then smiled at Pich.

"Yes, Marble, though he happens to have 'Special power' Marble if you please." Marble nodded then took off his Helmet revealing his green dragon head and his blue sapphire eyes. The group was now amazed.

"A duel-wield dragon," Was all that could be registered out of the blues mouth. Marble nodded, sighing knowing that these dragons probably didn't approve of him being here, which is why the yellow dragonesses' reply shocked him.

"Thatissocool, whatisitliketobeadual-wield. Doesitfeeldifferent, whatelementsdoyou-" But she was quickly shut up by the red Dragoness when she put a paw over her mouth,

"Ancestors, Shimmer, don't bombard him with questions." Shimmer was still trying to ask questions. The red dragoness turned to Marble.

"Sorry about that, Electricity dragons and their Mile an hour mouths." Marble just smiled and continued explaining his story,

"Anyway's Kristala here ended up finding me and I showed her the 'Exit'" Putting emphasis on the word exit at the very end and a grumbling Pich over by Kristala.

"Im still going to get you back for that burnt tail you know." Marble and Kristala smiled and gave looks at Pich.

"What do you mean Pich we were only fighting Fire with Fire, right Marble." Marble chuckled and nodded his head.

"Well now that that's out of the way do you mind introducing us to your friends Kristala." Kristala nodded

"Ahh yes, Marble this is Screech." Pointing towards the red dragoness. "Glacier" Pointing towards the blue dragon. "And you already met Shimmer." Marble nodded at the yellow dragoness.

"So Marble mind telling us who your friend is?" Screech said as she nodded over to Terrison.

"Ahh yes totally forgot about him. This is my closest friend Terrison."

Terrison still a little shy, only managed to mutter some random non-sense

"Don't worry about him, he'll get use to yeah he is just a little bit shy around people but he'll adjust." Marble quickly put the helm back on adjusting it so it would fit and putting it on his head.

"If I may ask, how old are you?" Glacier said as he looked at Marble

"Sixteen and why do you ask?"

Glacier looked dumbstruck at him then started snickering "Dude, if your older then all of us how come your smaller then all of us." Glacier said now erupting into guffaws. But luckily for Marble was quickly shut up as Screech pushed him to the ground

"Hey what was that for." Screech rolled her eyes, clearly annoyed

"Are you trying to get on his bad side? After all doesn't he look terrifying to you?" Glacier only noticing his size looked at Marble and looked at him again. He may have been very small for his age, being slightly less tall then a normal dragon his age, but he did have the physique of a muscled dragon.

He had muscles that showed slightly through his scales from the years he had been forging, and the helmet he wore practically set in stone that he looked like a warrior that was ready to charge into battle head on.

"Now that you mention it he does look a little terrifying. Say Marby, why do you wear that?"

Did he just call me Marby? Marble thought. Well...I guess they can call me that, its not there fault some egotistical jerk called me that and made me dislike it.

"Encounters" Marble said, now looking at the ground.

"Encounters?" Glacier murmured now clearly wanting to know what happened. Terrison, noticing that Marble was growing uncomfortable with the subject, answered.

"You know how many Dual-wields and Silver dragons are abused because of their abilities."

All of them nodded their heads.

"Well let's just say Marble has had more then his fair share of attacks, many of them leaving scars." Marble nodded then turned away.

"Sorry for bringing up such a touchy subject." Glacier said.

"It's fine you wouldn't have known." Marble said now bringing up his trademark smirk.

At that the group was brought out of their silence, smiling warmly at each other. They were soon interrupted by rumbling. They all turned to Screech, who if her scales hadn't already been light red, a blush would have shone through. Their attention was switched when another rumbling was heard from Terrison who's blush could clearly be seen through his scales

Glacier rolled his eyes, then walked over to the table that was now filled to the brim with trays of food.

"Come on guys, foods here."

The group now padded over to the table where they grabbed their trays. Terrison and Screech held off from the group and once everybody had gotten their trays, walked over to the trays and grabbed some food.

Terrison grabbed his food which included several strips of meat and fruit. Screech grabbed her food then walked over to the section of the table where their group was talking.

The meal was rather quiet, except for the chatter of a Dark red dragon, a Light Green Dragoness, and a Grey Dragon who were sitting across from them. Kristala seemed to be in a trance where she couldn't keep her eyes of him. She put her hands on her chin and traced circles on the table. Screech and Shimmer seemed to be sharing glances, rolling their eyes.

"Kristala, could you stop staring and playing with your food. Your giving me headaches just looking at you."

Shimmer and Screech were laughing at Kristala where as Marble and Terrison just exchanged confused glances. Glacier just leaned over and whispered.

"She has a major crush on Lance, the dark red dragon on the other end." They both nodded. Kristala looked as if she was about to say something when a loud booming voice sounded through the room.

Marble finding he should thank the dragons for their kindness, "I would like to thank you guys for your kindness, no dragon besides Terry and Charcoal have shown me such kindness, what makes all of you so different."

"Unlike all the Noble's who laugh at you. There are some who believe you are like any other." Screech replied

"Yeah, heck most of us here are from poor beginnings, heck I was an orphan to" Glacier said, Marble noticed a glint in Glacier's eyes as if he was hiding something but decided not to push it and just replied

"I thought all apprentices are from the higher class."

Shimmer shook her head and replied.

"Mostofusare." Shimmer replied, Marble for once in his life actually understood an electricity dragon.

"Thats good to know say-" Terrison started but was quickly interrupted by a loud booming voice.

"Ahem. If I could have everyones attention please." Everyone in the room, looked up to the front of the room where A big green dragon, Charcoal, and Spyro were stranding at.

"Thank you Terrador you may sit down now." Terrador nodded and walked slowly to his seat at the table with the other guardians. Spyro began

"Today, all of us have finally been reunited. Today we traveled to the village of Darkwood where we were introduced to the new inhabitants of the Dragon temple. Terrison, Marble if you please.

Uh oh. Marble thought, sighing. Why do I always have to be the center of attention? Marble sighed then walked up to the front of the room along with Terrison.

"Marble and Terrison here will be living here along with the rest of us, please treat them as you would any other dragon, alright Young ones, you are dismissed along with the rest of you. Goodnight and see you all in the morning."

All of the dragons in the room, then began to file out of the room except for Marble and the Gang.

"So Marble, do you got a place to stay," Screech said.

"That's what I was going to ask Charcoal when he got a moment."

The gang nodded, then Left the room waving goodbye to the gang. Marble was looking at Charcoal, while Terrison seemed to be caught up in something else, Marble turned and noticed him staring at Screech.

He seemed to be in a trance until Marble waved a paw in front of him

"Hello Terrison, you in their?" Terrison shook his head then started scratching his head with his claws.

"Next time you decide to stare at dragoness please let it not be when I'm not around."

Terrison blushed at Marble's remark then nodded his head quickly.

Spyro noticed the two dragons and walked over to them

"Did you two dragons get your room" Marble shook his head, Spyro smiled then Handed them both a small gem.

"Just put this in the hollowed out groove in a door that isn't occupied, and it will open." Marble nodded then walked away with Terrison down the hallway to the stairwell, to the apprentice floors.

Spyro smiled then walked back to the group of Guardians.

Marble and Terrison were walking up the stairs until they reached the rooms, many of them were taken except two which seemed to be right across from each other. One was located next to a light red gem room and a regular red gem, while the other was next to a black gem and a blue gem.

"How convenient, Right next to our new friends." Marble said. Terrison nodded then stared at the room that was right next to the red gems. Marble smiled then pushed Terrison over to the door while he walked towards his door.

"What the heck Marble!"

Marble chuckled then turned back to Terrison

"You know you wanted it Terrison, go ahead and take it see yah in the morning." Marble then placed the gem in its place and the door magically opened, leaving a small key in Marble's hand

Probably a claiming gem, putting it in the slot just claimed it while this key opens it now. Marble then pocketed it in a pocket in his cape and walked inside the room.

The room was fairly standard, a chest was on the right by the wall, there was a table with several cushions and a bookcase with several books already in place. He put his cape and his Helmet in the Chest. He then walked over to one of the bedding cushions and laid down on the soft fabric.

He laid there taking in the aroma of his new room until he finally went into the realm of sleep.

(Well it seems our main Cs have found some new friends * Snicker * Especially Terry hehehe.

Unanswered questions what is going to happen to our heros, Will they fit in with the rest of the apprentices, Will Pich pull another prank. Until next time My Favorite readers. Chao
