Don't be fooled by history, Drake; no one really knows what happened to the magic, or the dragons."- When Drake Darkhurst, the unwanted son of a merchant, is taken as an apprentice to a 'retired' dragon slayer, he thinks it a lucky escape from the cruelty of his father. But as his travels take him further form the life he's always known, he finds himself thrown into a world of secrecy, sorcery and struggle for power, a world who's existence may rest on his shoulders.

Prophecy. Other World. Yeah,I got it. I swear I have never ever been so surprised until my heart felt like jumping out of my mouth when I found out about another World,dimension,planet? I'm not really sure,but whatever,skipping the details. The other World,Ecras,is fascinating. Everyone. I repeat,Everyone,has magic! How cool is that? Its fantastic! Except for the prophecy that I'm a part of. Except for the fact that there's this guy out there that I've never spoken to before in my entire life who is out to kill me. And the fact that I have to take magic lessons with this pink-haired girl by the name of Ella and I have to learn the arts of sword-fighting to save me from imminent doom. Boy,sounds fun,or maybe overkill,for a 16 year old boy. But honestly,when you're in another World,nobody actually cares about your feelings,do they?
