Bound To The Earth (Open Novella Contest 2020)

Dragons only exist in the pages of books, myths and legends long forgotten from memory.

In the time before humans, the dragons ruled both the land and the sky. This great civilization was grand, but for all its perfections, it was amidst a civil war, fighting against each other for their rights to freedom. The price of this war was high, its cost was a curse: they became human. The great power they once held vanished with one word and lasted for a millennia. But now, an opportunity has emerged.

Alena is a victim of this curse, and like everyone else, she is not happy with her life amongst the humans. Reversing the curse set upon their species isn't going to be an easy task, but Alena is determined to do it, no matter the cost. She was born to live in the sky, but bound to walk the earth.
