Morning has broken on Draco isle. The time only six o clock. Hank Carter already up after his good but brief sleep. He really needed it, after being awake for a long time he could feel he was getting suspicious about everything. Mortis had detected them as they arrived at the base. So he would have detected anyone else. Ace was probably right.
"Good morning." He said as he jogged past some dragon soldiers already training.
After an hour he was convinced it was time for breakfast. He walked into the gigantic mess hall. Got himself a plate filled with eggs, bacon and beans and sat down not far away from the exit.
A few minutes later Aurora walked in. her hair in a ponytail. Wearing military attire.
"Good morning." She said as she sat down and took a sip of her juice.
"Hey, What's with the gear?" Carter asked as he looked up from his paper.
"I am volunteering to train soldiers. They need all the help they can get."
"Oh, where can I sign up?" Carter asked.
"Sorry, dad dragons only. You can't show a dragon how to shoot a fireball if you're human."
Carter shrugged.
"I maybe can't learn them how to breath fire or how to make a looping in the air. But I surely can teach them how to shoot a rifle or how they should use hand-to-hand combat."
"You'll have to tell a council member that. I really can't decide about such things." She said as she took a bite from her bagel.
At that moment a dead tired Jake came slumping into the mess hall and collapsed on a chair.
"That Ace is murdering. I had to do push-ups all morning. All morning I am telling ya." He said and sighed. "I am starved."
Jake slowly got up and walked to get some food as he returned he started to eat rapidly.
"Hey, Jake you can slowdown, the food isn't going to run away, you know."
"Can't slowdown." Jake said with his mouthful. "Ace gave me ten minutes to eat and get back."
Carter nodded.
"Private training?"
Jake nodded as he took another bite.
At that moment Ace walked into the mess hall in dragon form a infuriated expression laced his face. He grabbed Jake at the scruff of his neck and dragged him towards the exit. Shouting at him.
"When I say ten minutes I mean five! You're late that means disrespect to your superior. Do you know how I reward disrespect. Another fifty push-ups."
From around the corner Jake's famous catchphrase could be heard.
"Aww man!"
The shouting continued.
"That's another fifty for complaining. You maggot."
Aurora chuckled and Carter had a worried look on his face.
"He is pretty rough with Jake."
"Jake asked him to get him mission fit as fast as possible and since he is the only one smart or stupid enough to ask Ace he gets the whole package for himself." Aurora chuckled again.
"let's hope he makes it through his first day. Something tells me we are going to need that boy."
"Sure." Aurora replied.
"Advisor Carter?" A dragon guard asked.
Carter turned his head towards the guard.
"Andam has requested your presence during a meeting. Would you please follow me."
"Duty calls." Carter said to Aurora.
He got up and followed the dragon they walked through the Hall of the great. It was a hall with all the strongest and bravest dragons. Magically enchanted they were able to talk to you as they had a piece of the real dragon's soul in them. At the end there were two recently added statues. The dragon forms of Hans and Carlos. As they walked passed them Carter nodded to the both statues they did the same in return.
"We're here." The dragon said as they arrived at their location.
Carter nodded towards the dragon and entered the meeting room.
Councilor Andam and Kulde were seated at one side of the table and two men he had not seen before at the other.
"Ah… there you are." Andam said. "This are Eli Excelsior Pandarus and Markus Thrall. They are representatives from the wizard order."
Carter nodded and shook hands with both men.
"The wizard of wall street am I correct?" He asked.
"Not only in figure of speech, but quite literally." Eli replied. "You are quite famous yourself. I saw the video even parts not for the public. Surviving such a blast is extraordinary for a human."
"Let's say I got a big dose of luck in my pocket and am freaking hard headed." Carter said.
"Gentlemen, we are drifting off. Please can we continue our meeting." Markus chimed in.
Both men nodded and got serious.
"Carter." Kulde started. "The wizard order wants to place a handful of wizards on Draco isle. Mainly for help in training and research. They will assist the elves from N.E.R.D in designing new weopans starting with the Huntsclan technology obtained from Mortis . They want dragon protection at the location of their order in return. We are willing to provide those dragons, which ones are where you come in. I want you to select dragons who are fit for the job they will get seven dragons. The book that contains all the information about them. Is now being delivered to your desk. Can you do it by the end of the week?"
"I can't promise anything. there are a lot of dragons and a week to search through them to find the right ones will be a nerve wrecking job. If I may ask can I ask someone to help me?"
"Certainly." Kulde answered
"Anyone?"
"Whoever you want." Andam said.
"Gentlemen if you will excuse me I have dragons to select. I will try to complete this task as soon as possible." Carter said as he got up. He again shook hands with Eli and Markus and walked out.
"You want me to do what?" Mortis shouted mouth hanging open.
"Simple, select dragons who you think are fit for this Job."
"Yes, I know that but a week? Do you know how many dragons there are?" Mortis said slowly calming down.
"According to the book twenty-million-two-hundred-seventy-one-thousand-six-hundred-fifty-five."
"Exactly. That's a lot of information to process it can take me days to do that and shortens my life with another year." Mortis said his arms folded over each other and a annoyed look on his dragon avatar face.
"Well better get started then you have a week." Carter said as he put the book in the analyzer from Mortis and turned to walk away. "And besides only a few percent actually know they're a dragon. so filter them."
Mortis threw some insults at no one in particular as shut down his emotion protocol, began on the mind killing task.

Avery Johnson sat inside the Humvee which drove towards the mansion which served as the headquarters for the Huntsclan. He unloaded his old trusty magnum. A present from Carter after their first mission together. On the side of the barrel was the sentence through hell and back engraved and on the other side the words warning hazardous area with an arrow pointing towards the front end of the pistol. Avery smiled as he threw another bullet out of the window. But his smiled faded as soon as it came.
"Where the hell are you, Hank?" Was a questing that haunted his mind.
The driver alerted him as they arrived at the mansion. Avery sighed and threw the last bullet out. He got out of the Humvee.
He entered the mansion and was immediately brought towards the appointment the president forced him to attend to.
The man which had took Hank with him sat in his chair looking up as Avery entered.
"You're late."
"Like I care. I don't want to be here in the first place." Avery snapped.
"Come one we are friends, aren't we?"
"I can't be friends with someone who got my friends killed twenty years back." He snapped again.
"Now what makes you think I did that?" The man asked eyebrows raised.
"Not you, idiot but the ones you are impersonating. They are bad news I am telling.."
"We are the salvation of this planet. We will eradicate all those filthy abominations so they remain where they belong in fairy tales. I was a member of the late Huntsclan so don't you dare to speak filth about them." The man exploded and calmed himself he continued on a softer tone.
"I have heard what happened to your team, and in name of the Huntsclan I am sorry. If it weren't for those dragons your team would still be alive. Therefore I want you to become the leading commander in the attack at their sanctuary. You will get everything you need and can get your revenge on them."
"I don't want revenge. Revenge only leads to more revenge. Another question you were the last one I saw with Hank what happened to him?" Avery asked.
The man got up and walked towards Avery and put a hand on his shoulder.
"He was killed in the attack at Area fifty-one. By those dragons."
Shock overwhelmed Avery.
"Hank is dead?" He asked his voice trembling.
"Yes, son. I am sorry there was nothing we could do."
"I will lead the attack. They can touch me. but not my friends , consider every dragon on my path a dead dragon." Avery said enraged.
"Perfect." The man smiled.
