I heard the roar of fury from the dragon's throat (mistakes were made when choosing the dog)  as I leapt at her eyes in wolf form and was swept away by a mighty blow from her tale and then she started trash talking (I will bleep out the words that were so horrifying) "Come here you mother BEEEEPER, I have faced bigger BEEEP's than you" she was only a little furball before she transformed, I've never faced anything so big before I usually attack from behind in alleys or just run. I was just about to turn and run when a burst of flame erupted in front of my eyes that knocked me off my feet. I lay unmoving for what felt like hours. I saw my life, as others would see it, I saw my mother and father holding me up to the light, smiling as I held on to My dad's finger, I could see myself walking to school holding my dad's finger, I saw my first kiss. Then I saw that day, the day I lost everything in one stroke. The day I realised my power, the day my dad fought like a lion to protect me and that moment when he was brutally executed, I saw myself on the run the years fading away like sand in the wind. Finally, I saw his face, Annan, His smile and the playfulness of his eyes. That was when I knew I had to fight. I started to rise battered and bruised  "I..." I coughed up blood "I AIN'T FINISHED YET!!" I roared. I saw the dragon turn its head towards me and I saw its eye like green fire with what looked like respect in it. The real battle has begun.

For an hour I have attacked this beast I have charged at it in wolf form, shot at it in normal form hell I even stabbed it several times yet it just doesn't feel my attacks and all I seem to be doing is pissing it off and making it angry was the last thing I wanted to do because it just kept getting stronger. I leapt mid-air to try and go for the unprotected eyes when it swatted me out of the sky like a fly. It was towering over me and I saw it's mouth opening to fry me when a massive shockwave shook the earth and a human form went flying through the air with the speed of lightning, but it was controlled, I never knew who it was until it punched the dragon in the face and landed in front of me. Oliver. "You alright there Neve?" He asked, holding his hand out to help me up, "Yeah, just peachy, do us a solid will ya, finish the dragon off, cheers" and before he could reply a massive tail swept up to him and knocked him backwards. The dragon turned to me and was about to flambe me a lightning strike came up from nowhere and zapped it. The strike was so strong that she turned back into a dog and was curled up on the ground. I was about to go and finish it off when Oli came back and said: "What's your name?" The dog looked up at him and replied "Ruby" I saw Oliver smile and reply "well Ruby, what are your skills apart from turning into a big damn dragon?" Ruby looked thoughtful for a moment and replied "I'm a Healer" I saw Oliver's smile broaden "Excellent, well you have skills but yours is  wasted with these fella's, Join our crew and fight for friendship and gold" I saw Ruby's ears prick up at that and the thought was pleasing to her it took her at least two minutes when she said "Alright, but I want a helper who is good with knives" Oli's smile got even wider and he said "I know the perfect person, but we have to save him, cmon"  and with that Ruby transformed into a dragon, Oliver started to zap through the air and i turned into a wolf and followed them.
