The Dragon Trials

Chapter 4

   I walked into the school and Walked back into the office. The counselor was there filling out papers.
    "Mrs Counselor? May I ask what is going to happen to my house since my parents are gone now?" I looked up at her, trying to predict what she would say.
    "Your house belongs to you now. But only on a few conditions. Every month we will come check to see if you can keep the house clean and you must do extra Dragon trials to make up the money to do it. You will be the youngest one to do this. You will be surrounded by people older than you. None of them have passed the Dragon trials yet so be careful. Your first one is tomorrow, so go train and be to school on time."
    When she is done talking she looks back to her paperwork and I walk back out. Lazarus walks up to me anxiously and asks,
   "Hey... Uhm... can I stay at your place tonight? My parents are out of town and I dont like being alone..." He rubs his head and looks down at the ground.
    I look up at him and nod slightly. When he looks at me suprised I walk out and start heading home for the night.

    When I get home I silently unlock the door and walk into my large, but quiet house. Lazarus is right behind me as I enter. There is a large staircase in the middle of the room and there are four doorways leading to long halls with rooms. You could say this was a mansion but its really not. Its more like a very large house.
