"Hey, A... Wake up we a got a mission..."

"No, I sleep..."

"Come on man Wake the hell up."

"No... I sleep."

"Stop being a flipping baby and GET UP!"

"Five more minutes mommy... I sleepy." I heard a disgruntled sigh and I laughed at myself, turning over onto my side.

"VIRGIL!" I jumped up, eyes wide and with a killer headache. I looked over to see Lucas looking back at me with worried eyes. I grabbed my head and took a deep breath, before getting up and getting ready. Thank god for Sarah. SHe went out and got me this uniform. Well, it not really a uniform but I have to wear it. It's the only clothes I own that are fire resistant. I already lost my fucking hoodie. My item the one thing that grew with me as I grew up. The very hoodie I have had for years and now it's ash. Just my luck... You know?

I passed a glance at the mirror and I frowned. I look completely different. Would they even recognize me if I went back? My black hair is practically the same color as an orange and my eyes are a bright blue. It's like I became the fusion of Patton and Roman. I even got his tan. I never could tan. I was always so ghostly white. I still have no clue what actually happened to me.  Sarah said she would take me to find some answers but with everything going on... Witched are being hunted, all because I... All because I destroyed an entire kingdom. Not so smart in retrospect. Not that that was my intention. I just really fucked up.

"A, you ok bud?" I looked over at Lucas and nodded, leaving the room to head find Sarah.

" Good your up... We got a distress signal from the Eastern Base. Their Head says that the Southern border, the one responsible for this group called Onyx, they're going to be attacking some pretty import people. Their way of striking big and instilling fear. Your mission is to protect them and not let the Onyx get there hand on them." I just stared at Sarah. I'm mean I have been here for a few months but I've never done anything before. This is my first mission since the refuge became a sort of guild-like thing. SHe want's me to go out on such an important mission as this... WHAT ABOUT EMBER? She just hatched like last week. I can't expect these people to handle her while I'm gone. 

"I c-can't..."

"A... I chose you for this... for a reason." The look in her eyes said there was no way I could refuse it. "Don't worry about your dragon. I'll take care of her personally." If anything happens to her I swear this whole place will burn... Calm down, Virgil.

"Who's the charge..." She smiled apologetically and my heart fell.

"Not a who... it's a they." She handed me a detailed report from the Eastern base. Emma's signature written neatly on the bottom. A very distressing note written to the side. 'Please protect my brother and his friends.' "It's the Sanders Sides." 

"Well, shit..." Guess I'm going home then.
