Becoming a Dragon Champion (excerpt) Lotta Carl “I’ll never get Remus ready for the competition at this rate!” Jada said. Jada stood up and wiped the dust off her cloak. She had fallen onto the ground after Remus, her pet dragon, had accidentally knocked her over with his tail. Remus was still a young dragon and had not yet mastered taking off, landing, or other important dragon skills. Remus walked over to Jada and put his head down. “It’s okay, buddy,” she said. “Miguel, can you help me put Remus back into the barn? I don’t want to be late for the first-day banquette.” “Come on, Remus,” said Miguel. “Follow Igor back to the barn.” Remus obeyed Miguel’s command and followed Igor, whose dragon skills were a little more developed, back to the barn. “Don’t be discouraged, Jada,” said Miguel. It takes a long time for these dragons to learn to fly properly. Igor is a little more advanced because he is a few months older than Remus.” “I know. But the Dragon Championship is only a month away, and I’ve already seen some dragons soaring over the school and even breathing fire!” she said. “Well, we had better go in and join the banquet. Everyone will be wondering where we are.” By the time the friends walked into the hall, most of the students had already started eating. Jada and Miguel walked through the line, filled their plates with food, and took a seat at one of the long tables. Jada and Miguel were second-year students at the Greenhaven Academy.
