TADRE

Wisked away....

The man named Shinely produced a silver broadsword, with two small holes and red stains.
I ask "What's that?"
The third man speaks "Violet Dargos' broadsword."
I stare at it. The Violet Dargo! She was said to be a werewolf who worked with a fairy & a were-cat. They all rode dragons, and Violets' broadsword could sense a rider from ten miles off. I reached to touch it. The third man gestures for me to remove my gloves, so I shove them into my pocket. I touch the sword, and it begins to turn violet. The men were happy, and the teens had long since left. They touched my shoulders.
The third man said, removing his cloak " My name is Phoenix. The one is Shinely (pronounced Shin-lee), and the other one is named Maxwell, Max for short."
I noticed his red hair and wings. Then Shinelys' blue cat ears. Finally, I noticed Maxs' longer jaw and nose.
I said, "Let me go get my bow and quiver."
They said in unison "Is that all you own?"
I replied "Those, my extra combat boots, and a few daggers."
They began laughing. I ran home, packed my things, and said good-byes. Nobody really cared. I lived with a lazy lump of a brother, who can't take care of a dust bunny, and his just as lazy cat who hated me. I strapped the daggers under my clothes, the bow and quiver on my back, and ran to the town square. The men had a cloak outstretched towards me. I took it and removed my hunting cloak. It slid over my shoulders and was rather warm. The material was warm like thick cotton but smooth like silk. It was colored like theirs. My name was on the hem. Enchanted, of course! I followed them out of town. I thought at least the butcher will miss me, but he has the memory of a goldfish. He'll forget by tomorrow.
Phoenix said, after a day worth of walking "Time to get outta this stinking heap of skeptical jack...."
Max growled at Phionex. Pheonix was about to finish but thought better of it. I looked at the full moon and jumped at the sight of Max. I understand the relationship between were-wolves and the moon & were-cats and the sun. He was practically a wolf walking on its hind legs. Shinely was like a normal guy, but had a few long pieces of facial hair, and well, blue cat ears. Pheonix had beautiful red shimmering wings and flew beside us. He whistled, and a red, silver, and black dragon landed in front of Phoenix, Shinely, and Max. Pheonix offered for me to ride on his dragon with him.
I noticed a saddle, so I climbed onto it, sliding my boots into the stirrups. Pheonix crouched behind me.
He said "If you get dizzy, tell me. I don't want you to fall off."
Shinely twitched his right ear, and said "Let's go before somebody sees us! Them peps are creeps!"
I laughed and agreed with him. The dragons took off, and soon we were at the old castle 100 000 miles from anywhere. The dragons circled and landed in the court yard. I felt my body pass through something and saw an illusion field around the castle. They make everything seem normal around the castle, but if you get in this way, you can see everyone on campus! I stroked the dragon, thanking it for the fantastic ride. It warbled at me and smiled.
Pheonix said "Let's go get you registered. Shinely will take you."
