That night, I couldn't sleep at all. Thinking about the incident last month, I would have gone mad if I believed in it all. But I believed it all anyway. Even so, I never wanted to have this dream again. It keeps bothering me every night I had it. The dream that I used to have when I was younger.
I decided not to think about it much and tried to get back to sleep. But I couldn't. That incident and that dream, could it be that they have a connection?
I tried to contact Aeron in my mind more than several times. But of course it was no use. He's been silent for the past month, and I have so many questions to ask him.
I stared at the sky, wondering what my mom would say when she knew the baby that she picked up turn out to be a dragon instead. Though, I still don't believe the part where they keep telling me that in not human. I mean, I feel more human than ever! I know I have some crazy fire powers that could freeze instead of burning, I know that the world of magic and mythical creatures existed, but I still can't take that one, supposedly shocking, fact of myself being one of those mythical creatures.
Suddenly I got sleepy; I went back to my bed. Tomorrow is a big day after all.

'Now, we shall announce the new teams for the first Arcane Trial of the year!'
So, all the new students were told which room they should go to meet their team mates and discuss strategies and stuff.
The 3rd Experiment Lab, huh... I went to the designated room to meet my new team mates, only to found Riuna and Zen there.
'Riuna, Zen! Does this mean we're a team now?'
'Yup! We sure are!' Riuna said. She keeps giggling for no reason.
'Wow, look who's counting me out.' A familiar voice said. I looked for the origin of that sound.
'Y-you! W-why are you here!?'
'Well, I wonder why?' he smirks and closes up on me. I moved backwards until I hit the wall and he slams his hands to the wall, trapping me.
'Calm down you two. First we go with introductions, not threatening each other.'
'Riuna, I think we should start first.' Riuna shook in agreement.
'So, my name is Zen. I'm from the Garuda clan, I myself is just a half though. I've been living for almost 150 years. And I'm a 10th rank, blue class, support magician. I've been in team 14 for about 5 years. Just ask me anything you need to know.' After that he turned around and pulled half of his shirt and in his back lies a golden tattoo that looks like a wing.
'My full name is Riuna Crimson Shadowheave the 3rd. Blood Vampire, my age is... well, I'm not telling. I'm a 10th rank, red class, battle magician. I've been in the team for about 3 years.' Then Riuna did the same thing and showed us the tattoo she showed me before.
'The name's Leone. Spirit Manifestation, I have no age what so ever. 9th rank, silver class, battle magician –whatever you call it. And just to let you know, that test wasn't even a warm up for me.' He took off his jacket and showed his black tattoo on his right shoulder.
'Erida South. 14 years old. 10th rank, blue class, elemental.'
'Where's your mark?'
'Mark? I don't have one.' Leone gave me a suspicious look.
'Wow, we have a dormant one on our team. Lucky us.' Leone was clearly annoyed. But it wasn't my fault.
'Calm down, Erida is still new to all this. Of course her mark hasn't appeared yet.'
Suddenly another memory popped up in my head. It's happening more and more often recently. But this time it's completely unrelated to the others. Could it be from someone else's memory?
