Jake got out of the vehicle. they had been driving for some time. arriving at the place he saw it was an old mansion. from the look of things, it was in the process of being repaired. The doors soon opened to show several men and one dragon.
he was a blue anthro dragon with wings and fin-like ears. he was wearing gold shoulder pads as well as armbands. over his crotch was a black cloth supported by a gold band around his waist. "welcome Jake Burne. Marcus told us to expect you" the blue dragon said. his voice sounded like medieval royalty.
"hi... um, who are you exactly," Jake said. he then noticed a yellow diamond permanently affixed on the first of three ridges on his forehead. "oh! I always forget to introduce myself. I am the owner of the mansion. sir Greg Hornsby, however, you can call me Greg" he then gestured to Jake to follow him as he continued.
"my uncle owned the mansion back in the 1900s. Unfortunately, the Great Depression hit and he lost it all. I moved here after he passed and began restoration" Greg said. Jake saw that while the outside was still being updated the inside was practically done. "wait how old are you" Jake asked.
he hadn't meant to be so blunt but even if his uncle was very old when he died that would still put him near triple digits. "I was ninety-six years old. was practically on my deathbed when I suddenly felt younger. Team Zodiac said I lost sixty years on me. when they told me they needed a place to house the dragons until they were ready to go back out on the road I offered this place" They then approached an old-looking dragon anthro by a door. "Simon here's the last one," Greg said to Simon.
"I assumed you told the tell of renewed youth grandpa," Simon said. This left Jack slack-jawed. "yes I got the opposite of my grandpa. I was a twelve-year-old girl and now I'm a sixty-year-old male dragon." despite this, he seemed unbothered by this. "I'll leave you to it. I was told a female dragon will be here soon." Greg turned and rushed to the front of the mansion. "he's become a lady's man after the change. honestly, if it wasn't for his British background he would try to bang every girl here, human or dragon." he then opened the door to reveal a large room.
It was relatively empty save for ten seats in the center, eight of those filled with male dragons. "hello everyone, this is Jake Burne. he just woke up from a coma" The two of them took their seats. "now that we have done all of you have done your tests its time for the next phase." he then pointed his head up and breathed fire lighting the chandelier above. "time to talk about what happened. once everyone has had a chance to speak we will move on to the next phase" after he said that one of the other eight raised their hands. "yes mister..."
