The Shadow's Oracle// A BTS Fanfiction

Chapter 6

"We have a problem..." Jimin said, looking at the man who stood before him in his own home. Jimin took his shoes off and sat down on the couch deep in thought.

"What's on your mind?" The older one asked, moving to sit next to him. Jimin let a sigh escape his lips, as he ran his fingers through his hair out of habit.

"She's a hunter but she doesn't smell like one. There are two different scents that I just can't pinpoint." Jimin spoke lowly, letting a random book fly into his hands as he thought back on the confrontation. He remained calm during that time, but now his frustration flowed through his body, "I finally got close enough and figured out one secret, but now there's more? It just doesn't make sense." Jimin paced in front of the older man. "Namjoon, something really doesn't feel right."

Namjoon shook his head, "I told you not to go digging, Jimin. That just puts a bigger target on our backs. Like I always say, blending in is the best thing to do to stay alive." Namjoon scolded the younger one.

Jimin clicked his tongue in annoyance and shook his head, "I can't let this go now. I need to get to the bottom of this."

Lexi finally decided it was time for her to leave. She left the campus buildings, making her way into the sea of dense trees. Her mind was scattered with thoughts as she made her way to a familiar clearing in the woods, surrounded by trees.

"I need your advice." Lexi said aloud, even though no one seemed to be present in the forest on this dark night. "Plus, I thought you could use this time to change to your normal size. It has been awhile." She said.

Finally she heard the voice say in her head. Lexi stared down at her jean shorts, watching as something crawled out of her pocket to the ground and stood before her, waiting to be changed. Lexi smiled and gently petted his head before stepping back as the creature before her slowly grew, elongating and thickening up.

The scales on the creature shined as the moon peeked through the clouds. Light blue scales covered the creature, had it been morning, it would have almost blended into the sky. The underside of it showed a much darker blue that could easily make the creature blend in at night, if seen from below. A matching colored tail slowly elongated as the creature grew to its normal size. Pointed red scales stretched from the base of its head down to its tail resembling fiery embers from a freshly extinguished fire. Its sharp claws became more prominent which were a golden color that matched its eyes. Horns rested atop the creature's head as sharp teeth became visible. When the creature finally came to full size, a dragon then stood before her..

Not many people knew of the dragon's existence. Lexi, herself, even doubted it before she met one so many years ago. She kept many secrets, secrets even her hunter family had no idea about. This was just one secret she had to keep to make sure her friend stayed safe.

"I can't believe how big you've grown Zuko, I think you're going to be even bigger than your mother when you get older!" Lexi exclaimed. Each time she had seen Zuko grow to full size, he seemed to get bigger and bigger. He stood around 18 feet, very tall for a teen dragon. Zuko looked at her and stretched his body, starting with his neck and ending at the tip of his tail. At this moment, she couldn't help but reminisce on past memories of her mother. Her mother was always fascinated by paintings of eastern dragons and it seems that she herself took that love in too as she looked at Zuko again, he looked just like the dragons from those paintings, a gentle smile graced her features. .

Lexi's favorite creature had always been dragons, even before she knew of their existence. She named him after Zuko from her favorite show she would watch as a child. And now, many years later, here they stood.
