Astonished, I stare at her. "Is-is that your prophecy you repeated?"
"Um... yeah, how did you know?"
"I-I have the same prophecy."
Now it is her turn to have wide eyes.
"I always thought that it meant I have three disabilities, not that three cat dragons have-" I stop talking. I start feeling light headed. Knowing what's going to happen next, I get out of the water and quickly lower myself to the ground so I don't hurt or drown myself. I black out.

"Help!" Someone yells, "help!"
"Keep it down, I don't want to be found. I'm okay," I say grumpily.
The kitten dragon quiets down and looks at me. "What happened? You collapsed and started shaking. You sure you're okay?"
"Yeah, it was only a seizure."
"A seizure? Aren't those pretty severe?"
I sigh. "I have them whenever I feel extreme emotions. I can tell when I am going to have one. I can always get myself somewhere safe."
"Why are you out here in the middle of nowhere?
"What does a seizure feel like?"
"I always feel light headed before and after I have them. Sometimes I have a stomach ache after."
"What about during the seizure?"
"I feel as if I am sleeping."
She opens her mouth as if to speak when a voice says "do you still need my help?"
We turn to look at a calico cat dragon with only a stump as a tail.
"He had a seizure," comments the orange kitten.
I glare at her.
"Are you orphans?" The calico asks.
"She's not, but I am," I lie.
"Then you she should go home and you come with me.
"In case you are wondering, I am the orphanage caretaker."
