      <p>Exploded's heart hammered. He felt confused, awkward, afraid. What did the commander want from him?</p>

      <p>"From this day forward", the commander continued, "rank will be earned through trials - real deeds. Hunts, missions, and trials that reveal who a dragon <span class = "thoughtText">is,</span> not who tradition claims they should be."</p>

      <p>The commander began to pace again, tail sweeping the stone floor with a soft scrape.</p>

      <p>"Dragons of cunning will face cunning. A dragon of strength will face claws and wings to rival them. Each dragon will face what they excel at."</p>

      <p>Exploded found himself agreeing with the commander; he, too, did not find the hierarchy fair. So he dared a glance upward. The commander's expression was still neutral; neither cruel, nor kind, but calculating.</p>

      <p>"Tese tests will not be announced," the commander said. "They will not be explained, nor questioned."</p>

      <p>"The others will belive the trials are natural. Let them. Ambition grows best when it believes it is unseen."</p>

      <p>Exploded made to speak, then stopped himself. Why was the commander telling him this, anyway? How was he special or different?</p>

      <p>The commander's gaze suddenly fixed on Exploded, pinning him to where he stood.</p>

      <p>"You are the newest member of the Fittus. New. Unshaped. And... Hungry."</p>

      <p>Exploded's breath caught. He had <span class = "thoughtText">never</span> been addressed so directly.</p>

      <p>You wonder why I tell <span class = "thoughtText">you</span> this," the commander murmured. "It is because new blood adapts fastest."</p>

      <p>The commander stepped closer, staring at Exploded directly in the eye. Exploded wanted to look away, but the commander's eyes pulled him into their fathomless depths.</p>

      <p>"If you are worth, you will rise. You will fall if you are not. And only you will know that the trials are chosen - not random."</p>

      <p>"Carry this knowledge carefully. Power is sharp; when mishandled, it cuts."</p>

      <p>The commander dismissed Exploded with a flick of his tail. "You may leave."</p>
