[ WP ] Tell me a story about goddamn DRAGONS .

An excerpt from a story I wrote... 
 
 It was my third year as an instructor for the Royal Dragoon Academy in Spire. Our purpose was to determine the competency and skill of the students those looking to become full-fledged knights of the Kaisers army. 
 
 As I entered into the lecture hall, the bustling chattered that resonated down the hall quited to silence. I began my lesson as I always had by putting a pop question on the board. 
 
 And as always, the dismay of the students bellowed throughout the room. 
 
 `` Alright students, todays question is'How does one obtain a Dragon Soul'?'' I said as I finished writing the question on the board. 
 
 I gave the class a moment to contemplate the answer, my eyes scanning the room as some fumbled through notes while others sat terrified as the answer obviously eluded them. 
 
 However, in the back row a hand was raised... the same diligent student as always prepared to answer the moment a question arose. `` Ms. Cordelia, I appreciate your enthusiasm but allow a fellow classmate an opportunity to answer today.'' 
 
 Her look was one of disappointment but returned a beaming smile of glee as if she were already being commended on the answer she would have given. The correct one no doubt... 
 
 To her left, gazing out of the window as always was her close friend Isaac. By the way the two always interacted, I had assumed they had a common interest in one another. But he always digress and avoid the topic altogether when asked. 
 
 A few moments had passed and I had decided to randomly call on a student not prepared to passout if asked. 
 
 `` Lawson. Please explain how one obtains a dragon soul.'' I asked as I seated myself at the edge of my desk. 
 
 Lawson, a strong looking young man with great posture and stature rose from his seat, clearing his throat as he did. Like Cordelia, he was well educated and informed in regards to the Dragon Arts. 
 
 `` Maester Marcus, one obtains a Dragon Soul by effectively earning the respect of the dragon of which he or she has slain. If dubious means, except in cases of Black or White Dragons, are used to kill one of the six types of dragons, then that dragon may reject their slayer and simply pass away.'' 
 
 A quiet chatter and fluttering of paper filled the room as the students began noting the spot on response. 
 
 `` Very good Mr. Lawson, you may be seated.'' I paused for a moment, noticing some students turning their attention toward Isaac. His attention remained to whatever it was outside as he did every day before. 
 
 The inevitable question came. 
 
 `` Maester Marcus, why is there an exception to White or Black Dragons in this regard?'' 
 
 I rose from the desk and returned to the board, drawing a diagram of the six elements, each in a circle and each respective element in exact opposite from its opposing element. ( IE: White at top, opposite from Black, Red from Blue, Yellow from Green ) 
 
 `` While Azure, Crimson, Emerald and Luminous dragons require only their respect and their subsequent defeat, Alabaster and Dark dragons require something more.'' I said noting the two types on the board. 
 
 `` Dark dragons do not honor respect or the'Code' their kin do. You must be ruthless and immensely powerful to have a chance of achieving their soul. In addition to that, they are the most dangerous not because of their size and strength difference in comparison to the other types, but because if the soul does not fully integrate with yours properly... you die.'' 
 
 The classroom fell silent at this explanation of the Dark Dragons. They are the most fearsome, powerful kind that roam the world. It is no wonder why only a very small percentage of Dragoons possess Dark Dragon Souls. 
 
 Moving on, I switched to the Alabaster Dragon, often called the'Holy Dragons'. 
 
 `` The Alabaster Dragons are the most intelligent and, in some ways, more powerful than Dark Dragons. However, with the exception of Prince Lans and Isaac, no other person in the world or known history has been able to obtain an Alabaster Dragon Soul.'' I said looking toward Isaac. His attention still on whatever was outside. 
 
 I returned my attention back to the classroom carefully giving each student a bit of attention as I continued my explanation. 
 
 `` So what does it mean that someone like Isaac was able to obtain one? I thought only royal blood had the ability to do so?'' 
 
 Before I could explain, Isaac continued in my stead. 
 
 `` Because unlike the Prince who was born with the soul of an Alabaster Dragon, mine was given to me by one that sacrificed itself so that I could live.'' He said without even looking toward the rest of the class. 
 
 Years prior, he had participated in the Ten Years War that lasted every single second of every single day until its climax. It was constant, non-stop fighting with Dragons on one side and the various denizens of Spire and Sphere on the other. 
 
 During the final battle, it was said an Alabaster Dragon descended... appearing before humans for the first time in ages and fought alongside of Isaac at the Battle of Rhinestone. The decisive battle claimed hundreds of thousands of lives... including Isaacs mother and younger sister. Anyone who is a Dragoon knows this story. 
 
 But what no one knows... is how did Isaac, even with the aid of the Holy Dragon, defeat Tiamat and the four other Dragon Primals in battle?
