Dragonborn

Prologue

( 6/22/17 A/N. I've revisited this captured and hopefully it is better than before, if not oh well you win some, you lose some... Feedback would be appreciated.)  

    How do I describe my world, where I have lived for so long? To be completely honest, your world has no word that could describe my home to an absolute T. But, I'll try and describe to the best of my abilities. Close your eyes, picture a forest with trees so tall they reach the clouds. The forest its self can reach from one side of Asia to the other.

    Surrounding the forest is a mountain range. The mountains are said to be taller than Mt. Everest. Dragons would land on top of these glorious peaks that overlook everything. Some of the peaks are covered with eternal ice and snow. Others are boiling volcanoes, that spew lava hotter than the sun.

     Finally, around the mountains, is a valley of roses. These roses are blood red and covered with frost. These roses create an invisible barrier around our sanctuary. This barrier had protected us for thousands of years, until one fatal day, but more on that later.

     Throughout the forest there are seven castle, six creating a hexagon around the seventh. The first six represent their kingdoms: ice, fire, spring, autumn, elements, storms. No one knows what the seventh represents, but everyone has their guesses.

     The forest itself seems alive, with laughter and music ringing through the air. Though some people consider this odd because of the numerous amount of species that live here. We have goblins, dragons, fairies, wizards, witches, hybrids, spirits, sprites, mermaids, elves, dwarfs, unicorns, need I continue? The entrance from the human world here is at a small island of the coast of Alaska.

     The seven kingdoms used to coexist in harmony. The six heirs to the thrones always got along. Even the fire and ice heirs got along quite well. The seventh kingdom's queen was rumored to be bearing an heir at one point and time but she disappeared one night. In the months following that the middle kingdom's king became bitter, cold, and power hungry. This continued until one day the kingdom shut itself off completely.

     The residents of this kingdom fled away in terror. When the royal guards of the other six kings searched the castle they found it in ruins. The castle itself had been destroyed from within. The guards only found a nearly demolished piece of cloth. On it was painted: 'Beware of the darkness. With this the prophecy falls!' Naturally thinking nothing of it the six kings ignored it.

     I was raised with a clan of dragons, but not just any dragons the shadow dragons. According to Nightdust, the leader of the shadow dragons, they never knew my father and my mother died in childbirth. They always have guessed I was one of the runaways from when the middle kingdom shut down, because of my odd powers and appearance.

     Now remember that note and questionable barrier I told you about? Well it comes into play here. The night of the Freedom's Festival, which takes place every year on what you humans would refer to as New Years, fire as dark as the deepest caves was unleashed into the six remaining kingdoms. Many magical beings were captured, killed, or went into hiding. The rest escaped into the mortal world. I was one those that escaped.

     Upon arriving I was found by CPS agents. What do they do with me? They through me into one of the worst orphanages in the country. But they didn't know that at the time, of course. The owners of St. Martha's Home For Children are Tom and Martha Black. They take it upon themselves to push me around any chance they get. Being the oldest there I always take the punishments for the younger kids.

     My small group of friends don't know about this of course. They don't even know I live in an orphanage, well with the exception of one overprotective boy. You'll find out about that later though. My friends are a ... interesting group. There are the boys Jack, Jake, Jason, and Jacob. The girls are Lizzy, Jazmin, Kaveri, Brianna, and Paige. Then me of course. We all go to Burgess Middle School, in Burgess Alaska.

     I still have some powers that I have from the sanctuary. I can bend shadows, use ice and snow, use plants, and other various things. I can use many weapons but the only ones I use in this world are a sword and a bow. Lizzy and I do sword fighting together. As for sports I do archery, ice skating, and skateboard. But only two of the three are competitive. I'm on our school figure skating team and archery team.

     Now that my semi-rant on my- um exotic past, is over: my name is Draconis Rosalinda Winters. 

     Welcome to my life.
