Learning More About the Island
Jake and Rose are walking around. "Jake, what are these tests I've heard about?" She asks.
"At some point, each dragon must be tested in three categories: Judgment on Fire; Wisdom in Battle; and Courage in Flight." Jake explains. "In my turn, I was required to pass in at least two of these."
"How are these tests?" Rose asks out of curiosity.
"For the Judgment on Fire, Councillor Kulde makes ice sculptures of several magical creatures." Jake explains. "Some of them are a threat and others are not. The dragon to be tested must melt the statues of the threatening ones and only these ones. For the Wisdom in Battle test, Councillor Andam picks an opponent individual or team to test the dragon's battle skills."
"Who did he pick to test your Wisdom in Battle?" Rose asks.
"A team of brownies." Jake sheepishly replies.
"And what's the Courage in Flight test like?" Rose asks.
"I have to fly through a dangerous obstacle course, survive and reach the finish before my opponent." Jake explains. "Chang used to manage this test before she was exposed for working with the Dark Dragon and I don't know who does it now. Back then, we could pick the opponent."
"Who did you pick?" Rose asks.
"Fu suggested me to pick the Guatemala Dragon because his wings still weren't fully developed." Jake answers. "But I not only wanted a real challenge but also settle a score with the Australian Dragon. He won but the fire skills I've shown when the Dark Dragon interfered caused Councillor Kulde to give me enough extra credit to pass the Judgment on Fire test."
"Jake, do you wanna see my new place?" Rose asks, referring to her apartment in the Island. Jake eagerly accepts.
Unbeknownst to them, Haley watched the whole conversation. She starts following them but Sun stops her. "Sun!? What if that slayer takes advantage of the situation to slay my brother and make sure there will be no witnesses? We must protect him."
"No need to worry, Haley." Sun calmly replies. "Rose wouldn't have become the new Light Dragon had she not repented following the slayer's way."
"One can't be too careful, Sun." Haley replies.
