(Inspired by Upon Wings of Change by Crystal Scherer) Amber Anistia was a college undergrad, anxious but ready to face the world. She was near the top of her class, sporty enough to snag enough athletic scholarships to see her through college. She wanted to get her bachelors, her masters, she wanted to travel, to explore, to learn and grow and see. This is not what the world wants for Amber, and it rights her perception of it accordingly. Perhaps she was meant for greater things, but she was taken instead. Taken from her family, from the world that once seemed to rally for her. Taken, and twisted so firmly that her body warped into something incapable of any human activity. Taken, and made to fight her way into a world as familiar as it was different. It's a good thing Amber was a fighter. And once she set her sights on something? Well, Amber was never one to give up. ~~~~ Hi everyone and thanks for stopping by! I decided to rewrite the previous version of this story (under the same title) because I have aged and my writing style has changed significantly. This story will have more words, what will hopefully a better plotline and characters, and should just generally be better overall. The cover art is my own :)

-Huge thanks to Crystalscherer for coming up with pretty much all the ideas present in this fan fiction of Upon Wings of Change, as a I read both books and enjoy the whole time!- Lloyd was a normal kid, very intelligent and athletic, especially in speed. All of this changes when all of a sudden, men took him from his school and injected him with something. He then woke up to a very *scaly* surprise! Only his time and patience will tell if he can cope with the change of species so fast. Many things are different in the new world her finds himself in, and only he can find out how to make the best of it. *This is my first ever novel I've made, so I hope it is a good start! I'm not very good at writing, so the wording might be a little lacking when compared to the original Upon Wings of Change.*

Eighteen-year-old Kara is in her first semester of college at Syracuse University. As a film major, she has big dreams of moving to Chicago, Los Angeles, or Atlanta and making it big in the industry post-graduation; but, being kidnapped and turned into a fire-breathing Mini Dragon wasn't exactly a part of those plans for her future. Being unwillingly turned into a cat-sized dragon after a fun night out almost certainly wasn't a part of her plan, and an alien invasion out of the blue further complicates things. Will Kara- now a Dragonet without a mind voice- be able to make it in this new world? Inspired by Upon Wings of Change by Crystal Scherer.

Please note: this is a third-draft story but is not revised. More than a century ago, dragons and the blue-eyed Shaderi flew together. Then they were brought down by jealous men who feared their power. Now blue eyes are a curse and dragons are a laughingstock, neither seen outside of slavery. Born a slave, her fair features mark her as a witch who is worth less than even the right to a name. He is a dragon who was raised in the arena, a life that left him unable either to fly or to breathe fire. Thrown together by an ambitious showman, they are united by a bond as old as the legends. Together, they have a hope for something more than the lives to which they were born, if only they can learn to trust each other. The words of a mysterious minstrel point them west, where rumors say their people live in freedom. The road there is hard, and at the end of it they find themselves a world embroiled in a secret war. This new world is ruled by a king who values tradition above all else. At every turn their new friendship is tested, and they are forced to decide how much they are willing to pay for a place to call home. He wants to help her learn the truth of where she came from, and she wants to give him what every dragon deserves: a chance to soar.

Desperate to keep her magic hidden, Katerina goes to great lengths to avoid dragons and mages. When she gets cornered by evil mages, her only chance at escape involves freeing a trapped dragon. * * * Katerina's biggest fear is that unscrupulous mages or dragons would discover her magic and use her as a living magical battery. When she stumbles into a group of evil mages trying to magically enslave a dragon, she releases the dragon to act as a distraction, hoping he would attack the mages while she escaped. But magic has rules, and when you free a dragon mage, it creates magedebt that they must repay, lest their magic fade. Forced to travel together, Katerina struggles to hide her magic as she accompanies Rakota and his friends while they hunt down the Shadow Mages. Rakota is one of many dragons who detest humans due to how many have tried to slay him, steal his treasure, or control him with magic. He has no desire for a rider, but when his childhood sweetheart shows up, she won't consider courtship unless he has one. As if evil mages with ancient spells aren't enough, word comes from the coast that the nagas are planning to invade and wipe out the humans. Goals and secrets clash as Katerina strives to keep her magic hidden, yet that very magic might be the key to stopping the war, and becoming Rakota's rider would give him the family he's always dreamed of. But all magic has a price, and to become a rider, she'd have to forfeit her freedom. Copyright November 2022. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy or steal this story.

"Just because something is considered a well accepted fact, doesn't necessarily make it true" Dragons are vile, dragons are wicked, dragons are evil, and above all dragons are dangerous. Everyone knows this, so did Lynwood, son of the local woodsman. He had read enough about dragons to know of their terror and danger and that they must be killed on sight. Not like he had anything to fear, dragons have long become extinct .....or have they? When sudden peril comes to the simple woodsman home and Lynwood's father is arrested with the accusation of plotting against the king, Lynwood and his sister have to flee into the mountains with a mysterious letter that must be taken to the king's nephew. It is there that Lynwood will discover that dragons are not so extinct after all. Lynwood will find himself tangled in the sticky web of politics, and his one key to getting himself and everyone else out of it will be to put aside his prejudice and come to see dragons for what they really are. (Many thanks to my awesome friend Chey for drawing the beautiful dragon that I used for the cover. She is a talented artist and I know the world of success is ahead of her :) )
