Child of the Dragon Chapter One

The gifts

“Child of light another gift we have for you.” said the gardens. I looked up at them. The crystals on there staffs started to glow bright as they created an orb between them. I was in shock as the orb came soaring tours me at such great speed. I was unable to move out of the way.
I reached up to block but it hit me squarely in the chest causing my whole body to glow. I thought it was going to cause me great pain but instead it calmed me and soothed my body instead. I looked back up at the gardens finding my self on my hands and knees.
“The dragon child haves grown and is entering his power we need you to find and train the child.” There voice was as one
“How can I do that?” I wondered as I pet Midnight on his head,
“The first gift we gave you will let you see what others are. The second gift will let you learn other’s power after seeing it used.” They informed me
“How can I find this dragon child?” darkness started to come to me again.
“You will see the dragon sleeping in side the boy and the mark of the dragon on his arm will confirm what you see.” They said as they slowly vanished darkness surrounded me once more.
…………………………………………………………..
I opened my eyes to see two bright yellow eyes staring back at me. I focused and noticed it was Midnight sitting in front of me between me and the wall.
“How do you feel?” I saw Midnight staring at me with his long pink tong hanging out of his mouth,
“I feel all right.” I said sitting up in the cool room noticing that they put a black folded rob on the chair next to my bed
“You have been asleep for a few days.” I stood, stretched, and got dressed
“Really it douse not feel like it. What time is it?” I asked wishing there was a clock in the room,
“About seven at night, I think. I’m not very good with time.” I smiled at him then looked over at the two beds that Cassandra and Janna use seeing them empty. I got up, put my clock on, and picked Midnight up in my arms before walked out of the room. I walked down the stairs to the main hall where we stopped.
“Kate something is not right.” he sniffed the air in front of him.
“What do you mean?” I looking down at him shaking in my arms,
“There is this weird smell coming from the other side of the door.” I went to the side of the door next to the frame. I pulled out my wand then slowly opened the door.
To my horror I sow three students lying dead on the floor their chests ripped open blood spilling everywhere on the green carpet of the dark room. I heard a noise coming from the dinning table I slowly turned to see what was causing the noise.
There standing on two large clawed feet was a large Crasher beast cutting open another student pining him to a wall by his neck. I was frozen in place at the site of its long clawed fingers and porcupine like body standing there like a man with a student in one hand as he was tarring him open with the other. The beast turned to me showing me his pig like nose, long fangs, and deep black eyed. I was scare to move or breath, which caused me to shake.
I did not know what to do “KATE!” whispered a soft voice from behind me. I turned and sow Steve and his wolf running down the stairs to me. I turned back just in time to see the beast drop the student to the floor and started moving tours us. Steve grabbed me by the back of my shirt choler, and pulled me behind him. He slammed the door shut and pulled out his wand. “Siggillare !” He yelled and metal plates attached to the door sealing it closed. The beast attacked the door tiring to tare it from the frame with its sharp claws that diggings throw the wood.
“That will not hold. Shadow, grab Midnight. I will get Kate.” Steve grabbed me by my arm and pulled me up to his back. I watched as Shadow grab Midnight from my arms by the scruff of his neck and carrier him up the stairs. “Hold on.” He looked over his shoulder at me as we followed Shadow up the stairs.
We heard a loud bang behind us. We turned to see the beast tar the door off the wall and were trying to clime the stairs but with its sort legs it was having trouble.
“It’s coming.” I screamed and held on titer to Steve’s neck he turned to the beast wand in hand
“HYDRUS !” He yelled and out of his wand a large water dragon came out and attacked the beast sending it flying back into the main room. I could see the spell. I mean not just seeing it work, but I could see the way it was created how the spell became what it was. We turned and ran up the rest of the stairs and down the hall to the other set of stairs.
I looked down at Steve and sow several people in a distant purple fuzzy haze around him some of them I recognized as friends of the family that would drop by and several I did not. The images changed to show a tall strong young man taking Steve’s energy by cutting small openings in his neck and exchanging it for a cleaner version of his power throw his hand on his back. That is when a name came to me
“Shadow Wolf.” Steve stopped dead in his tracks.
“What did you say?” he looked over his shoulder at me. He sounded surprise
“I’m sorry. I just sow the name Shadow Wolf when I looked at you.” we heard this loud bang and tarring of cloth coming from behind us
“Will talk about this later.” we ran up two more flights of stairs to the end of the hall where a table and a vase sat.
“Amoveo ” Steve pointed his wand at the vase. We watched as the wall moved to reveal another set of stairs leading back down. We ran throw the door and down the stairs to a dark cold wet tunnel made of old carved stones. We heard the beast trying to get throw but with no luck then all went silent. “Fax Facis ” Said Steve light appeared over are heads. Steve put me down on the soggy ground and held me against the wall. “Who told you that name?” he demanded Midnight was trying to get free from Shadow to help me but with no luck.
“I told you I can see it in you. The guardians gave me two gifts in addition to Midnight.” I comfiest my gifts to him
“And?” he pointing his wand at my neck
“One was that I could do spills by seeing them being used, and the other is to see what people truly are.” scared that he might heart me but instead he eased up and lowered his wand.
“What do you see?” he asked I looked up at him
“I see three people two men one with white hair and the other with black. The white hair man has a familiar of a wolf as the black hair man has a cat. The third is a woman with a lizard on her shoulder and she can change her shape and color to blend into the background.” I sow tears in his eyes when I described her.
“Go on.”
“I then sow a tall strong young man taking your energy and exchanging it for a cleaner version of your power.” Steve’s face whet white just like he haves just seen a ghost when I described what I was.
“Did the gardens say anything else?”
“They need me to find a boy with a dragon inside of him, and a dragon mark on his arm.”
“OK! Do me a big favor, and don’t tell that to anyone not even father. I will have a friend of mine that will take you on as an apprentice and she will keep you safe.”
“I wonted to ask you to be my teacher.”
“Me? Not even. I don’t have that kind of talent or time. Lesson you will be fine with my friend she haves the same talent as you described will almost she can help you.” He pulled me back onto his back. “May be I should take you to her now.” we started to walk down the tunnel.
“What you mean leave dad and you now! I did not want to leave for at least another week or two.”
“Lesson I understand but there are secrets that you don’t need to known especially with the others around. I can’t risk you telling everyone. Do you understand?”
“I think so but I don’t want to leave everyone yet. I can keep a secret.”
“I know. Don’t worry my friend is really good at what she douse.”
“Ok then.” we walked in silence throw the tunnel.
