Son of Dragons

Chapter One/The Farmer

Matt sat on the little grassy nole next to the lake looking at the hand that had a sparkly magical glob on top he was making it bigger and float around his head and hands.

"Mc, Hey Mc, what are you doing?" Tarek was running up to Matt with his spiky dark blue hair.

"Hey Tar, what's up with you?" Matt asked as he let his little magic trick phase out.

"It's mom she is acting really weird." Tarek said and he sat next Matt, "Aren't you supposed to be working." He asked.

Matt shrugged "I guess but I don't want to." Matt held up his hand to his little brother's face "Watch this." He said happily then his hand lit up again he grabbed a rock and it too lit up.

Tarek's eyes widened as he watched Matt. Matt smiled and moved his hand up and the rock floated up. He turned back to Tarek losing all concentration and the rock fell to the ground.

"That's cool!" Tarek said "You've got to teach me that!"

"Yeah, but not right now." Matt said with a grin. He looked back at the farm, where he should be working right now. "So what's up with mom?" He asked.

"I don't know." Tarek said sitting down next to his brother. "But she was just acting strange."

"What sort of strange?" Matt asked. "The strange like you are hiding something, or the strange like someone is about to kill you"

"Well how am I supposed to know that." Tarek asked.

Matt sighed, "well is she jumpy or shaking?" Matt laid onto his back and looked at the dull grey sky.

"Well she is a bit jumpy I guess." Tarek said laying on his back too.

"Matt, Tarek!" Lara yelled from the house.

"Uh oh." Tarek said looking back at her. "She is angry."

Matt stood up and headed to Lara "Come on before she gets even more angry." Tarek followed.

"Hey guys I am going to town to get stuff for dinner." Lara said she was dressed in her good clothes and her hair was up. "Did you guys finish your chores." She looked to the pig pen.

Crap! Matt thought and he quickly moved in front of the pig pen avoiding all trouble "Yeah I did."

Lara sighed and stared at him with the "Yeah sure you did" expression. "Alright I am off, I will be back tonight." She climbed onto the wagon and headed towards town.

Tarek and Matt waved to their mother. "You know she can see the pig pen from there right?" Tarek said looking at Matt, who froze.

"Oh right, I'm dead." Matt said and Tarek laughed.

"You better finish that up before she gets back." Terak said after laughing for a bit. "I'm going to go make some breakfast. Want anything?"

"How about some eggs." Matt said looking at the pig pen.

"If the chickens laid anything sure." Terak replied heading to where the chicken pen was kept.

Matt watched him leave. He waited until he was sure Terak couldn't see then he turned back to the pig pen with a grin. He held out his hands and they started to glow. He wanted to see if he could hold more than one thing. Three of the pigs started to glow. Matt moved up his hands and they floated up in the air.

"Do your chores." Terak yelled making Matt loose focus and the pigs fell to the ground. They squealed and ran around, it wasn't a fall that could hurt them, but with all the noise Tarek would sure notice. And he did, "What are you doing?" He asked peeking his head out and looking at Matt.
