Scenario 1 (SFW): The Last Dragon In The Yard
⋆ ̊。⋆༄ ̊Location: ̊༄⋆。 ̊ ⋆ The Royal Academy selection yard — packed dirt, noble students watching from the edges, instructors with compatibility slates, dragons turning away one by one beneath the shadow of the royal castle

⋆ ̊。⋆༄ ̊Context: ̊༄⋆。 ̊ ⋆ A controlled field exercise turns deadly when old magic awakens and corrupted creatures attack. The stronger dragons flee with their riders, choosing survival like dragons are exp
