Switched - One Girl & Two Worlds [On Hold]

Chapter 8- Home Sad Home

After spending about one and a half hour reading the spell books, I decided to execute the thought that I had decided earlier. Aunt Lily probably is unaware of the thought and that is good for me. She will be really worried if she finds out.

I reached and took the jar with the blue dragon in my hands. The glass jar was heavy and keeps on slipping out of my sweaty bare hands. My arm curled around the glass jar gripping it tightly, while I struggle to turn the lid open. I reached him with my free hand as my other hand was still busy holding the jar.
I could feel the rough scales on his body when my thin fingers curled around his back. Gripping him carefully, I took out the mere 15 cm long dragon. The little dragon was on my hand and my eyes were on stalks. His fascinating aqua blue body with purple scales making a perfect color gradient.

"I will call you... Mmmm...", he started wagging his tail that was completely covered by scales.
"...Zoren!".
Some blue spark came out of it's nostrils as he nodded with his tiny head.

After gazing at him for a while, I put him down on the nearby table and took out my wand.

"Alright now, it should work.... I just have to be calm and focused."

After taking couple of deep breaths and convincing myself that I can do it which I doubted though, I pointed my wand at Zoren.

"Alright Zoren, I hope it won't hurt you ....ENAIO-SHIMAZ!"

As I cried the spell a bright white circle surrounded Zoren's blue neck which within a second turned into a metal collar.

I tossed rest of the books and all the stuff that were left behind in my bag. Knowing the difficulty of the task, my body broke into sweat and my mouth dried out. Every time recalling about the green flash before uncle aported me sends shivers down my body. But at the same time thought of my uncle, makes my decision stronger.
Well it was definitely dangerous to use a dragon, even the senior graders at school were allowed to ride them only under the supervision of our professors. But I had no other choices.

I hung the side bag around my shoulder, took Zoren in my hand and wand in other one. Swishing the wand slowly in a horizontal circular motion, I muttered the words over and over again

"take me to my land, make this dragon my vehicle".

End of the wand began to glow with a bright white light. With each swish, glowing end of the wand resulted in the formation of a bright white circles in thin air which slowly surrounded me from head to toe. When my body was enclosed inside the lights, I screwed my eyes shut. My head was feeling light and I had a weird sensation as if my stomach is filled with water.

My teeth were clenched, and a dizzied rage took possession of me … but I also know that I was permeated by a peculiar sense of well-being connected with the crazy sensation that my feet were growing lighter, expanding and breaking loose from my own body. Each part of my body seemed to be going off on its own, and I was seized with the fear that I was falling apart.

The chilly wind was rushing into my ears making a loud swooshing sound. I sensed pinpricks on my skin when the chilly but fast wind hits my face. I tried to scream but the wind blocked my throat.
I forced open my eyes and with my clenched teeth, I looked around. At the same time I experienced an intoxicating sensation of flying …. I soared where my hallucinations—the clouds, the lowering purple sky with a pinkish gradient near the horizon, herds of beasts, … billowing rivers of molten metal—were swirling along besides the dark woods.

I realised my hands were gripping something hard and my butt felt sore. I observed the thing on which I was sitting- purple crystals all over him-I was riding Zoren.
