The educative institution known as the Wyynhaist College is a worldwide prestige school, and the only one accepting dragons and kindfolk alike. Even with a story of almost two hundred years of uninterrupted activity, there's still a few elder dragons that mistrust the college, some of them, for personal problems with the administration, others, due to an open clash of ideals.

About the college's structure, it was a curious hybrid between the typical mountain with digged caves and the most magestic of castles. The college counts with an outer wall measuring fifty meters height, a total of fifty three caves without counting the inner chambers most of them have, and three dozens of towers at various forms and sizes, along with houses, fields, streets and various kinds of establishments all over the place.

The project for the college began a few years after the treaties's approval, but The Tribunal only gave permission to found it fifty years before the original proposal, and the starting founder died a few years later. So the final foundation of the college happened more than one hundred and fifty years past the original idea.

At the entrance of the college, there's a statue of three wolves and a Wyvern. That statue represents the original founder, Vincent Nives, along with his son Iulius, wich kept the project alive despite very hard circumstances, and Oswaldo, wich happily concluded the project that his grandfather began. And, at the back of the three, Kaldoria, the wyvern who inspired and helped the project since it was only an idea, and who even at the day stills in the College, being the current headmistress since Oswaldo's death.

Today, the Wyynhaist College celebrates the apertures day, an event made every few months, wich was made to allow the youngsters who wanted to join the institute to show that they were worthy of it.
596Please respect copyright.PENANASxR1LDt7JN
The event was simple. All candidates was to expose their achievements or capabilities in front of the rest, and also in front of the headmistress.

And there was Kellen, as a tutor, along with Naja and Neoh. Olivia and Mercedes along with Willow, and more than twenty other dragons and kindfolk.
596Please respect copyright.PENANAm1caEAm9H4
All of them was meant to show their best in front of the severe, yet marm sight of Kaldoria, as the silver-scaled wyvern was looking every minimal detail. She certainly had a critical eye, but she also knew exactly how to treat anyone with a simple look. In fact, she had no intention to deny the entrance to any of them, but she had the responsibility to not allow any students with bad intentions against the institute.

The first one exposing was a mouse named Michael, who prepared an essay about legal cases related to eggs lost and found by kindfolk. Olivia and her family ducked their heads, wich did not went unnoticed for Kaldoria.

Then, the headmistress pointed others to expose. The first one was a Drake, that is, a dragon with no wings. Then, a couple of foxes, and, behind them, a red dragon and a deer. Before them, Kaldoria called Neoh to expose. He only came with the intention of supporting his sister, tough.

A few days ago, Neoh's life went upwards down, when he was rejected by the Cliff Racing League due to the gift of speed he was born with, and the fact that he was a wyvern, as both conditions were considered as unfair advantages.

Before he explained his situation in a similar way as i did, the headmistress asked for a short demonstration of speed. For that, the young wyvern flew up to the very top of the college and back in less than half a minute. Having been ovated by the concurrence, he politely asked Kaldoria to let her sister pass the next.

— It was too much to ask you not to show off? — Naja asked lowly to her brother.
596Please respect copyright.PENANAoVLSbXgoHV
— Please, I did not even make an effort to go fast. — Neoh answered — Well, I'm sorry, good luck with your part.
596Please respect copyright.PENANADZEA4ndcHd
— That's better. — He said to her brother with a soft voice, before changing it to a louder one for the exposition. — Hi, name's Naja, and i'm going to show you a research project i've working on since a few years ago.

Kaldoria nodded her head in sign of approval. However, she was noticing every single thing that was happening there, not only what was visible to the naked eye.
596Please respect copyright.PENANA1GQJoRoVZ3
— Well, before studyng and comparing dozens of stories about the multiverse, i achieved an approximated mapping of a small area of it. Here's the results. — She said, slightly nervous at the beginning. Then she started to project her map from a necklace she was using, wich was a gift from Kellen specifically meant for this event.
596Please respect copyright.PENANAjhepGCA0HB
— The mapped zone is made of twenty five universes. Ours was placed at the center as a reference. Then, around we, there's six more universes, from wich only three are inhabited by dragons, two of them are inhabited by different lifeforms, presumably closer to the kindfolk in form, the sixth one, is almost completely void. Now, i want you to look at the universe that's marked with a 1, left from ours. You see it? Do you see it have such a particular form? There is where The Divines are supposed to live, the birthplace of Alkos, the Original Dragon.
596Please respect copyright.PENANAOmaDZddCHM
— ¿What about the rest of the twenty five universes? — Kaldoria asked.
596Please respect copyright.PENANAcT2YVrlRaA
— The majority of them are supposed to be void or at least with no life. In some cases it is not said if they are inhabited or not. I only found few cases of histories regarding the presence of life in universes away from this area. For example, the twenty four is said to be inhabited by a powerful race similar to the past form of the folks. And, theoretically, a similar case could happen in the universe number thirteen, but it have not confirmed it. For the rest, i still have to follow some clues.
596Please respect copyright.PENANAxiPE4499cy
— An excellent job, indeed. You did it all alone? — Kaldoria looked directly at Naja while she thinked about Kellen.
596Please respect copyright.PENANABF3dCiDoq0
— Well, i've had a good master.
596Please respect copyright.PENANA8IdJLwW8Br
There was no trace of lies or false modesty at her voice, so Kaldoria simply grinned at her and called the next one. The showing off lasted a few more hours and, in that whole time, neither Olivia or Mercedes were called. Finally, Kaldoria said something that took everyone for surprise.
596Please respect copyright.PENANAvEVs3AM26Q
— I'm going to make the things slightly different now. First, if i say your name now, it means you're out until the next aperture day: Michael Rootings, Nah Huum, Shell Killian, N'wah Taal Roth. That's all. Better luck next time. — Three bullies and a polemicist, that was the last thing she wanted at her college.
596Please respect copyright.PENANANGyjW20OmD
— Now. — When all the unwanted candidates were away, Kaldoria continued. — If i don't say your name, it means you are in, so you can pass to the archive in order to register as a student, the archivist will attend you all, one by one. Well, I'll begin: Neoh and Naja, Bruma Springs, Slizy, Barth Elms, Morris Killian, Mercedes Marlyn and Olivia. If i said your name, then follow me to my place, and I'm going to call you for an interview.
