The next day Sam had been woken by a knock on his door with him saying
"Who is it?"
A lady's voice was heard saying as Sam was putting on his shoes
"Ms.Greyhound booked your stay for one night, I will need you to hand over the key pack your belongings and leave unless you want to extend your stay"
Sam opened the door and said as he handed the keys to the lady before Sam jumped over the railing and flew away with his wings
"Thank you but I just needed a nights rest here are the keys and have a good day"
Once Sam had reached the tower he retracted his wings and walked over to the tree where he met first met Cindy and laid against the tree while he waited for others to arrive and after some time Sam saw a man with a cane in his hand walk over with a few other people behind him and said once he stood a few feet from Sam who was relaxing by the tree
"Young man, I saw your entrance earlier are you by any chance in a faction?"
Sam looked at the man and the people behind him and said before he closed his eyes
"I don't have room for more followers in my faction so just go away"
The man was stunned by Sam's behaviour and said
"Young man please reconsider as my friends and I have quite the warriors and can take on anything"
Sam growled a little and said as he stood up while growing the full extent of draconian form
"This will be your last warning to go away while you can"
Just then Mary came walking up while dragging two suit cases when she said
"Master Stone, are these people bothering you?"
Sam leaned against the tree and said as stared at the suitcases Mary was pulling behind her
"I was just telling them to leave as I was waiting, have you seen the others? Especially those two Olson brothers as I have something for them that will help with their training"
Mary shook her head and said as she sat on one of her suitcases
"No Master stone, I have not but if you want me to I can help you with these pest as I stayed up until dawn training"
Sam was now curious and retracted his draconian form and said
"Let's make this interesting, if you bunch can beat my follower here into submission then I will let you join my faction and if you lose then you will leave us alone"
The man threw his cane to the side and said as his eyes had begun to glow blue and started to float off the ground by a few inches
"I accept your challenge May the greater warrior win"
Mary stood up and cracked her fist and said as she grew out some claws on one of her hands just like Sam could do with both of his
"I hope you don't lose to fast as I want to show the Master what I have done in my training"
The man laughed a little and used a form of telekinesis to shoot some knives he had in his pockets at Mary at a very fast speed that would be impossible for any normal person to see however through her overnight training Mary had found her Draconian eyes gave her excellent vision in the night but also enhancing her visual senses and reaction speed to where she could easily dodge the knives and choke slammed the man before he fell unconscious
Mary looked at the others and said as she stepped over the unconscious man
"Who else want to fight?"
Everyone in the man's group were scared to see their leader beaten so easily and ran away after two of them grabbed the unconscious man and ran off leaving Sam and Mary alone
Sam was impressed and said as he clapped his hands
"Impressive as you managed to achieve part of your transformation in only one night, good work"
Mary bowed a little and said before they both continued to wait for the others
"Thank you for the compliment Master Stone"
After awhile everyone had been gathered before Sam saw on his watch that it was nearly 2pm before James placed his bags down and said as he started pacing back and forth
"Where is Cindy? We were supposed to be here at noon"
Sam opened his eyes as he began to smell a spicy aroma in the air and looked to see Cindy running up with a suitcase and a little girl behind her and heard her say as she bowed to Sam and the others
"I'm sorry I was late but Master Stone can I make a selfish request"
Sam looked at the little girl behind Cindy and said as he crossed his arms
"First you explain why you are late then I will hear your request"
Cindy dropped her bag and said as she grew three tails that looked like a scorpions stinger and said
"I was up all night trying to transform like you Master Stone but I couldn't get anything other then these tails and so that's why I am late"
Sam looked at the three tails before they went back in Cindy's body and said as he noticed the little girl staring at him from time to time
"Now what is your request and who is your friend here?"
Cindy moved the young girl in front of her and said
"This is my little sister Samantha and my request is… Can my little sister live with me in the dorms"
Sam looked at Samantha and then back at Cindy before he walked over to the tree saying
"I need a minute to decide"
Samantha held Cindy's hand and said
"Big sis, are we going to be separated? I don't want you to leave me alone"
Cindy however remained silent as she desperately waited for Sam's answer and before long Sam came back over saying
"I will allow it until she comes of age to take the trial but she is your responsibility and should she cause any trouble then I will give my punishment to her and you"
Cindy looked like she was about to cry tears of joy as she said
"Thank you Master Stone!"
Sam looked at the others and said before everyone started to form a circle with Sam
"Form the circle and we shall head to the temple"
Once everyone had locked hands Sam teleported them all to the temple and said as he made his way to the main hall
"Cindy have your sister bathe in the healing pool after you have put away your belongings and everyone else meet me in the Forging area after you have put your belongings away, dismissed!"
Everyone bowed before they went over to their dorms and once everyone was gone Sam had received a system message
[New Quest: (Draconian Evolution) has started]
Sam smiled inside as he already had what he needed so to finish this new quest was to wait for the Olson brothers but he was also curious about what the Dragon index was but could think of a few ideas on what it could be such as an index with information about any and all dragons and their subspecies
Once Sam had reached the forging area he began making another spear like he had before while he waited for his faction members to put their belongings away and join him and not long after Sam had started to make the spears everyone had made their way to the forging area where Sam said as he continued forging the spear
"Today's lesson will be about Draconian cores, Olson brothers please step forward while the rest clear some room"
The Olson brothers looked at each other before they did as Sam asked while the others backed away
Sam took out one of the <(Lesser)Draconian Earth core's> and said as he walked around the two brothers while holding the Earth Core for everyone to see
"As you know when you arrived and received your Draconian Core it was empty before I poured the draconian blood on it and then everyone here gained an Draconian element"
Phil's eyes widened and said as he raised his hand high
"Does that mean if we absorb a Core with our elements we will become stronger?"
Sam smiled and tossed the core in his hands to phill and said as the core began to glow in Phil's hands
"See for yourself"
After a minute or two the bright glow from the earth core disappeared as it shattered to dust before revealing the phill had risen in size by a couple of feet while growing a tail that resembled a boulder covered with spikes and just as phill was looking at the changes he heard his brother say in awe to his brothers new look while everyone looked at phill in shock as they were very surprised by the changes phill had made
"Brother! Are you okay?! Do you feel dizzy?"
Phill looked at his brother before he did a handstand on a singular finger and said
"I feel better then ever! Thank you master Stone!"
Sam was about to take out the last <(Lesser)Draconian Earth core> but stopped for a moment as he heard the system say
[Your follower Phill Olson has strengthened his draconian core and has learned the skill
[Quest: Draconian Evolution(Completed)]
[You have acquired the Dragon index where all Draconic creatures and monsters are catalogued]
Sam smiled before he said as he handed the last <(Lesser)Draconian Earth core> to Phil's brother before he too underwent the same process as his brother
"And here you go, afterwards we will examine the changes in the dojo area"
Once again like Phil did harry grew in equal size to his brother but instead of a tail growing out 7 spikes grew out of his back
Sam saw the changes and saw the same system message as before
[Your follower Harry Olson has strengthened his draconian core and has learned the skill
Sam said as he started sharpening the drake horn that was used for the spear on a wet stone
"In time I will award you all with a core of your elements but for now we will continue to train and we will meet in the dojo in one hour for today's training session do what you want till then, Dismissed!"
Everyone bowed to Sam before they entered the temple leaving Sam alone where he pulled out the Dragon index where he saw on the first page the drawing of a Drake while highlighting its key features and pointing at their weaknesses and as Sam was looking at the page he noticed a small dragon skull on the top of the page and pressed it before the whole page
And everything on it had begun to glow blue before a transparent hologram of the Drake popped out of the book however remained as still as a statue before Sam pressed it again and had the hologram drake disappear before Sam flipped the next page and found that it was blank and turned page after page to find every page was blank before a system message was shown
[New Quest: Dragon Index Collection]
<10 Hollow Draconian Core's>
<10 Draconian Blood Jars>
After seeing the new quest Sam did the math and figured to complete the quest he would have to find 5 different dragon species and kill 10 of those species but Sam thought this was a blessing as he wanted to know more about the creatures down his mountain but knew it was better to be prepared than be reckless and so for the next hour he created some dragon weapons and was about to look at the necessary resources he would have to use only to be dumbfounded by the list of resources for the

Sam felt that he had no hopes in crafting the
"Greetings master stone"
Sam looked around the dojo to find it in shambles before he looked at the Olson brothers and said
"I will warn you only once to limit yourself in the temple otherwise I will throw you both down the mountain"
The brothers reverted back to their normal form and begun to clean up the mess that they had made while Sam sat on the Masters chair where he waited for the others to join him
