CHAPTER 1 SADDLE UP! Steady now," warned Griffith, the king's wizard. "We have never tried putting a saddle on a dragon before. I am not sure how she will like it." Griffith and the Dragon Masters were in the Training Room, hidden beneath King Roland's castle. A magical stone called the Dragon Stone had chosen Drake, Bo, Rori, and Ana to work with dragons. Griffith was their teacher. The Dragon Masters stood around a big dragon with shiny blue scales.

"Bo, bring the buckle under Shu's belly," Griffith said. "Now tighten the buckle. Good!" Drake watched his friend Bo put the saddle on Shu. She was a Water Dragon, so she was usually very calm. Shu stood still as Bo pulled the buckle tightly. "Good job, Shu," Bo said, patting her neck. "Now can I put a saddle on Vulcan?" asked Rori. "And can we please ride our dragons today, Griffith?" asked Ana.

"King Roland's crafters are making a saddle for each dragon," answered Griffith. "The other saddles will be ready tomorrow." "Will there be a saddle for Worm?" asked Drake. He looked over at his dragon. Worm was an Earth Dragon. He had a long body, like a snake. He had no legs, and tiny wings. Worm couldn't fly like the other dragons could. "Yes. Worm has a very special power. He can take you from one place to another in the blink of an eye," Griffith said. "A saddle is a good idea for any type of travel." Drake nodded.

"It is time for dinner," said Griffith. "Please put away your dragons and head to the dining room." "Well, I hope I get to test Vulcan's saddle first tomorrow," Rori said. "Vulcan and I didn't get to do anything fun today." She marched off toward the Dragon Caves. Her dragon, Vulcan, stomped after her. He was a Fire Dragon with red scales. Ana followed Rori. She skipped along. Her dragon, Kepri, moved like a graceful dancer beside her. Kepri was a Sun Dragon with a slim body and white scales.

Drake helped Bo take off Shu's saddle. They put their dragons in their caves. Then they took the stairs to the dining room in the tower. After dinner, the boys went to their room. Drake touched his Dragon Stone as they walked. Each of the Dragon Masters wore a piece of the stone. It let them connect with their dragons.
