About 164 years later of repeating the process over and over again, came the story that changed the prophecies forever.  On a cold, stormy night, infornt of an orphanage building, was a small child, who looked to be about five years old.  She was wrapped in an old, worn out cloth.  Which was rare  at that time, because people were so far in technology, that they had new clothes of all new material.  So cloth was rare, and meant for poor people.  This was the only thing she was wearing.  Her caramel colored hair was so oily and dirty, that it looked almost black.  Her skin was covered by filth, because of all the dirt she picked up on the streets.  No one walked on the streets anymore becuase they had floating cars, working jet packs, hover boards, and shoes that could fly.  And the houses were floating in the air, so this little girl was there all alone, and everyone kept laughing at her because of the way she looked.  She stepped on the elevator  which took her up to the front door.  She was immidiately teleported inside the house.  There was a big commotion going on in the next room so the little girl sat down on a nearby chair, and waited because all the things that happened during the day tired her out tremendously,  She sat there for about seven minutes when a young boy about her age came through the door.  He had bright blond hair, clear blue eyes the color of the sky on a sunnt day, olive skin, and big rosy cheeks.  He seemed to be irritated by whaqt probably happened in the other room. 
He didn't look up and said with a little attitude, "The mistreess is waiting for you in her dungeon."  He started walking the way to her office when the little girl got up, and quickly, but quietly, went and followed the attitude boy.  He didn't even look at her once all the way to the office.  He pointed to a door as he started walking away, "You'll find the dragon in that chamber."  He then truned the corner and suddenly a door slammed shut at the end of a hall around the corner.  The little girl quietly opened the door and stepped inside.  "Close the door, please."  A woman who looked to be in her 30's was very plump with rosy cheecks, big chocolate colored eyes, and red hair tied into a ponytail.  Shee didn't look up from the screen when she said, "Last name."  When it was quiet for a little while was when she finally looked away from her computer and saw the small girl infront of her.  "My goodness!  You poor child!"  She then quickly pressed a button  and sevewn children immidiately came up infront of the desk.  There were four boys and three girls.  "These are all the children living in this orphanage."  All of them waved except  the last boy who just stared at her.  "I'm sorry," he blurted, "I didn't realize you were a little girl. "  He lowered his head in shame.  The room was quiet until the woman said, "Anyway, let's quickly do introductions so we can get this little girl comfortable:  on the far left is Diane Bark, then Dennis Burns, Charles Banks, then we have the cousins Hope and Alex Ramsly, then McKayla Darth, and lastly, as you have already met, Brendan Knight."  Diane was a small girl, even smaller thean the girl in the cloth, with short, black hair, and charcoal colored eyes.  Dennis was the opposite of her with big cheeks, blue eyes, and brown hair.  He had very pale sking.  Charles had red hair with brown eyes, and looked a little chubby.  He was pale with a hint of freckles.  Then came Hope and Alex.  They really didnt look like cousins except for the same coloered eyes, hazel, and height.  Hope's hair was long and blond while Alex's hair was short and brown.  Both of them were close to the same shade of skin but Hope was a little lighter,  the color of toast.  Then came McKayla.  She had bright, bright green eyes, pale skin, and blond hair with loose curls.  She was clinging her arm around Brendan's arm.  Every time he tried to shake her off, she grabbed tighter.  "Ok, that's the introductions, now someone please give up one pair of their clothes so that this little girl could get comfortable."  She looked at all the girls but none said anything.  Then McKayla spoke up, and said, "Mistress, why would we give up our clothes for someone who isn't even going to stay here?"  The little girl looked down and started to cry a little bit, "I am sorry to intured.  I'll just go now."  The little girl started to head to the teleporter when there was a hand on her shoulder.  She quickly turned around and saw Brendan smiling without McKayla on his arm.  He had a pair of clothes in his hand and gave them to the girl.  Once she touched them, the clothes appeared on her.  They were a red T-shirt with blue jeans.  "They'll be a bit big on you because they're mine, but it should do."  He smiled and truned and started to go back in the line when the little girl quickly hugged him from behing and said, "Thank you!"  He nodded and went back in line.  It wasn't that noticable, but he had a red tint in his cheeks.  That was when the mistress said, "Well, i think that make's it official, she is staying at our orphanage form now on.  We just need your name, please."  Everyone looked at the girl, "My name is Tristan, Tristan Stone."
