 We all know what dragons are. We believed dragons were the strongest and most deadliest creatures to have ever walked the earth. Well we were wrong there is a creature known as half bloods. These creatures look and speak like humans but hold the power of the dragons. Rumor has it they live for hundreds of years and only one is born every few centuries. People believe this is because the gods want to keep the world balanced but no one really knows. These half bloods origins are not known to man, some say they are born from the pits of hell and others say they come from the gods themselves.

There was a young boy born in the small town of Kervik everyone feared the boy because he was born with a birthmark that looked like a dragon. The mark was big and was in the center of his chest. So his father told him he had to make sure no one else saw his birthmark. The boy's name was Nathan. He seemed like a normal boy to everyone else as long as new people did not see his birthmark no one else would fear him.

It was the boys 11th birthday when he looked at his dad and asked "father why does everyone fear me"

His father looked up from his book and said "because they do not understand you my son"

"Why, I am just like them I have two hands and two eyes" Nathan stated

His father smiled and said "yes you do son but you are not like the other kids" his father paused and then touched Nathan's chest and said "you are different and soon will be very powerful and you hold the mark of an ancient power and that is why the other kids are scared of you".

"I don't understand" Nathan said

"You will soon enough my son" his father said while going back to his book "now go finish piling up the wood it's going to be cold tonight"

Nathan looked down and said "Yes father" and then walked outside to do what he was told. Nathan was almost done with stacking the fire wood when a young girl Catherine saw him
"Hey you're Nathan right" she asked

Nathan continued to stack the wood and said "Yeah what do you want"

"Nothing I just wanted to say hi was all"

"Why are you hear and why are you not like the rest of the kids running from me"

"I am not scared of you I don't care what the other kids say"

Nathan looked up and said "what's your name"

She smiled and said "my name is Catherine"
