She became chosen at the age of only 6. A thing thought nearly inconceivable in the Second Age. In cases of truly exceptional breeding, a child might Exalt as early as the age of 10. In some cases it could take as long as 20 years for the dragon blood to stir in someones veins if it's thin enough. This was a thing of legend, made even more awe inspiring by the fact that Kaya seemingly knew it was happening to her. Often it takes some sort of emotional trigger to start the change. For her, it was something inevitable and natural. Like she was born to Exalt. Every Dynast grows up thinking that, but deep down they dread that they will remain mortal forever. For her it was never a question.
Jet couldn't wait for when his turn would come.
Two more years passed. And the children were now 8 years of age. This was the earliest the Realms Primary Schools accepted new students. By this time they had already received a basic education that put them well past most of the illiterate peasants of Creation. Though primary schools were not considered to be nearly as important as the four great Secondary Schools, they were still the foundation that the great institutions built upon, so only fools ignored it.
Though the best education centers were prohibitively expensive, even to some Dynastic households, to the primary branch of House Mnemon it was not beyond reach, though it was still considered a huge investment reserved only for the best "eggs".
Jet and Kaya were both admitted to such a boarding school that had close ties to their house and they would spend the next four to six years of their lives, depending on how well they perform in their studies. This institution, like most of its kind, offers a more specialized curriculum that prepares young nobles, both Dynasts and patricians alike, for their duties later in life. They offer classes in swordsmanship, archery, athletics, horseback riding, geography, history, political sciences, spirit sciences, courtly etiquette, philosophy and the basics of Immaculate Doctrine. It even has a few courses on basic thaumaturgical theory for those more magically inclined and who'd pursue careers as sorcerers later in life.
Though Jet was a bit unnerved by the fact that his sister had a two year lead on him in terms of Exaltation, he was thrilled at the prospect of school. It offered him his first real opportunity to establish himself as an up and coming Prince of the Earth.
