Dinotopia Solo Write

On the hidden island of Dinotopia peace and harmony reign. Dinosaurs and humans live together, working side by side. The Dinosaurs are peaceful and can speak with humans (Indeed many are far wiser than humans) all but the Tyrannosaurus rex and their close kin, who live in the rainy basin.  There are many regions of dinotopia, but the four of most importance to us are:
Sauropolis: The capital of Dinotopia, it is known for its beautiful buildings and lively atmosphere. The people there are very careful to always dress their best, taking off their hats only when a theater curtain goes up, or a building burns down. It lies on the beautiful Dolphin bay
Waterfall City: This beautiful city of knowledge is situated on a cliff completely surrounded by roaring waterfalls. It has an immense library and is home to some of the wisest inhabitants of Dinotopia.
Treetown: A town, which is built completely in the trees, Treetown is a place where humans come to learn how to live in harmony with dinosaurs. The people are hardworking but kind, and many are of Irish decent.
Canyon City: The home of Skybax's and their riders, Canyon City is a place full of tall spires of red rocks. Hopeful Skybax riders come here to learn their trade, delivering messages by air throughout Dinotopia. 
This is a perfect world. But on a particularly stormy night, two dolphinbacks are washed up on the beaches of Dolphin bay. Dolphinbacks are people whose ships wreck on the reefs that surround Dinotopia. They are rescued and brought through the maze of reefs to the beaches, where they are found by Dinotopians. These two youths are brought to the elders of Sauropolis where they are found to be special children, of a great intelligence, learning the Dinotopians language and writing in a matter of weeks. Interested to see what they will become; the elders call for two of the brightest youths out of each of the regions above mentioned. Two Sauropolin youths, versed in architecture and debate, two youths from Waterfall city, scholars and scientists all, two youths from Treetown, strong and wise in the way of living things, both plant and dinosaur, and lastly, two skybax riders, along with their Skybax's. This group of ten will set out to travel through Dinotopia and find their purpose.
