”Hmm?” Nix squinted his eyes at the sudden brightness. He'd been walking back toward the exit when he was suddenly transported. ”Reward time?”
”Greetings, Guild Leader Nix.” A miniature dragon hovered in the air in front of him. ”I'm Balto, and this is the character generation instance for the Flight of Dragons expansion.”
”Balto?” Nix kept his face expressionless; Hara had mentioned that name before. It was the Virtual Intelligence in charge of NPC development. ”Why am I here?”
Character generation was a small white room that was completely bare. The dragon moved toward one wall; as it did, a large hud appeared in front of them. ”Do you have a sponsor?”
”A what? No, I don't. Send me back to my friends.” Nix frowned at the dragon, his eyes glancing at the screen that seemed out of focus.
”Hmmm. You do have a sponsor; her name is Tai'Qui. Good choice, I might add. She is my favorite dragon.”
”I didn't choose a sponsor.” Nix felt irrational anger starting to build up. Surely they weren't going to throw him into the new expansion without his permission.
”Don't worry.” Balto's voice was soothing to the ears. ”You aren't going to be forced into the Academy. All players who finish the Everspire expansion pack must start a Dragonling character when they complete it. The character will be saved, and you will be returned to your friends. Your original character will not be overwritten.”
Nix breathed a sigh of relief. ”Back to Haven?”
”Of course... That's where the new expansion starts.” The small dragon started to fade. ”On behalf of myself and the Colonial Developers, thank you for all your hard work.”
”Welcome,” Nix muttered. Unsure what to say, he watched Balto fade away only to be replaced with another. He couldn't stop the smile that formed on his face. ”You're my sponsor?”
Tai' Qui nodded, her smile brimming with warmth. She wore the simple clothes she normally did, complete with a red bandanna. ”Who else could be?” She stepped closer and hugged him tightly. ”Let's get started.”
When she spoke, the blurred hud screen came into focus.

Tai gripped his hand in hers while he studied the hud. ”What do you think? You can generate new stats and make changes to your name, ancestry, or element.”
”Those are dragon stats? Aren't they a bit low?”
Tai nodded. ”Dragonlings aren't much stronger than humans when they first start out. But, they improve quickly with use.”
”I see...” Nix grinned at his innate talent. ”Does everyone get one of those?”
Tai shook her head slowly. ”As a Dragonling, your innate talents won't develop until you reach maturity. Your situation is somewhat unique. Balto chose these stats for you, they are quite rare.”
”Let's go with this then. We got a party to start.”
Tai made a few adjustments on the hud before glancing up at him. ”If everything is good, go ahead and approve.”
[Save current character generation?]
”Yes.”
