She looked around. The flight up here had been long, and building the home had been hard, but now, it was finally finished. The whole castle was light blue and white, and crystals were used for lighting up. Cosy, Maya thought.
Maya packed a small bag of food and equipment. Then she spread her wings and fled down through the layers of clouds. She looked back at the castle. Hm. I think a dragon will like it here...
After a while of search she landed nearby a small restaurant with a bit scary appearance. She hoped to get some information about dragons. From a small river she let her clouds gain water making them grey as storm clouds. Then she entered the restaurant...
inside....well what can I say? it wasn't a bar for her. But her search for companionship had just begun, so ske couldn't stop now! She walked over to the bartender. "Erm...sorry to bother ya, but can you answer some questions for me?" He snorted. "Okay, I guess that means yes... This is a hotel, right? may I have a room please?" The bartender looked at her. "You? a room! bwa ha ha! you wouldn't stand ten minutes! but okay, you can have one. More money for me, you know! harr harr!" And after a second the key was in her hand. "Ehm...have you seen any dragons around here?" but the bartender didn't listen. She shrugged and went up to her room.
After two days in the "hotel" as it was called, she decided to leave. She had asked almost every guest about dragons but do one knew anything. The most stinking and chubby ones she stayed away from, though. After she payed she opend the guestbook to write a not-so-nice review about the "hotel". But at the last page she saw a photo...of a dragon! on the side it said: "Greetings from Bishen Realm." and the dragon was of the cutest and coolest she'd ever seen. She poked the bartender. "Hey slowpoke! wake up! where is this pic from?" "Agh.. it's you again. The pic is from Bishen Realm. I dunno where it is though. ask some of the guests instead, don't bother me!" she quickly replied before he lost his interest. "Can I have the picture?" "whatever.... ...." Now that she had the pic it went alot easier. She figured she had to take the underground trail to the other side of the mountains. "no wings, then...well, I better get going! see you later, ppl!" "...I hope not!" the bartender grunted. "Love you too, mr. bartender!!"
...
It was a foggy morning outside. Maya hid her wings and started towards the underground trail. At the entrance she saw a sign. "Humanity week. All other creatures pay double". Ah great! the underground trail was owner by an anti-all-other-creatures-than-humans group. And she hadn't enough money to pay double. She hid her wings better and filled her clouds up with dirty water so it looked like an old cloak. Then the hid her ears behind her hair and hoped for the best. She'd almost gone though when she got stopped. "Exuse me, are you human?" uh-o.. "Come over here please" she went over. "Of course I'm human", she said, giggling in a wannabe-babe-type of way. Fortunately, the guard believed her and she could pass. The trip through the Underground trail was not a pleasant one. As an air elf, she had constant fear of places with bad air and the underground. It was a great relief when she finally got back into the air. She speeded up, looking for the river that would take her to Bishen Realm. When crossing that, she'd be quite near Bishen. She finally found it after a day of flying.
She decided to walk the rest. She landed on the other side of the river and entered some woods. Strange how woods are different, this wood was light and and enjoyed walking through it. But she had an alarming feeling she wasn't alone. She kept looking up to the treetops, having a feeling that's where it comes from. After a while of hide-and-seek with whatever it was in the treetops, she sat down. She wasn't used to walk so much, and decided, "If I get a dragon, I will fly it all the way home, no more walking! no matter how big it is!" Suddenly she saw a light between the trees. She tried to fly after it, but crashed into a tree. Short turns never was a strong side of hers.
When she waked up she looked straight into a funny face. "augh!!" she sat up in surprise, looking around. *Welcome to Bishen! can I help you with anything?* Finally she focused on the creature. It was a green dragon! Almost the same cute dragon on the picture! "Did you say...Bishen? did I make it?" She quickly got on her feet, but had to sit down, too dizzy. Focusing her eyes on the creature again, she realized it hadn't opened its mouth. "Are you a Bishen dragon?" *funny question. Yes I am. So how did you get here? As far as I can tell, you aren't human.* "Oh I'm sorry. I'm Maya, and I'm an air elf. I came here to adopt a dragon, if possible." *Follow me, Maya. I'll take you to the adoption center.* Maya followed in a blur, and after a while, she could spot the adoption center.
"Hm. first impression is important," she thought, making her clothes rain of the dirty water.
When she entered the adoption center, she was met by two dragons looking very much in love. *It's Naturail and Atlan, the parents of the new clutch*, the green dragon explained. "So there will be a new clutch soon? Can I sign up for it?" the green dragon put up an important face. *First, you must read the rules completely. They're over there at the desk.* The rules was written in beautiful calligraphy and decorated with a raining cloud, a flower and a flame. She figured that it was the bishen colors. She'd seen two greens, Naturail and her helpful guide, a blue, Atlan, and she got a peak of a red before entering the center. "All right," she thought. "It will need a home of course, I've got that. I'll need to make a stat board!" She quickly wrote the info down on a piece of paper and then sending it away with the wind. She knew it would lay on her doorstep when she returned. She turned to the green dragon, showing it a pic of the castle. "What do you think? will it make a good home?"

She was a tall elf with pale blue skin, black eyes and white wings with silver gleaming in them. Her clothing was white and blury, made of cloud. That's right, she was a sky elf, with the ability to form air and control wind.
The only thing she needed now, she though, was company. And that would be hard. Deep in her heart she had always loved dragons, since her first visit at the Silver Valley and her meeting with air dragons. The sky castle was finished. Now she had to start on her quest for dragons...
The green dragon looked at the pic for a while. *Looks nice to me, but it's up to Indyana to decide*. "Where can I find her? do I need to talk to her to adopt?" The green dragon giggled. *Just fill out the form there and Indyana will look at it. In the mean time you should go finish the home.*
"Thank you for all you help! I will!"
Exited of maybe getting a dragon she returned home to decorate a special room for the dragon.
