****************************************************
"How ironic it is that the one promised to give you the most is the one to take it all away and one wonders in the fairness of the universe and the justice of nature, when all hell is let loose and you're left with nothing. But unknown to all, nature is just and unforgiving. When all hope is lost, the one above sends someone as his hands to comfort and right the wrong. The lone figure in the darkness, whose eyes imitate a charred river bed was not alone in this night. A creature on four legs drenched in the rain had been quietly following him and now moves towards the youngster as a silent thunder illuminates the world for a second before all in lost in the dark.

The five dragon-warriors
Torin has always felt out of place in his small village. Despite the familiarity of his surroundings, he cannot shake the feeling that he doesn't belong. He longs for a place where he can truly be himself, away from the expectations of his people, a life free of the stifling weight of conformity. His dreams are filled with a sense of belonging, a vision of a life where he is accepted for who he is, not for who others expect him to be. One fateful day, while attending the annual Dragon Safe Arena, where dragons are brought to be killed for sport and fear, something extraordinary happens. A black dragon, larger and more majestic than any Torin has ever seen, enters the arena. The crowd erupts in excitement, but Torin feels an unexpected connection. The dragon's eyes lock onto his, and in that moment, he hears a voice-not in his ears, but in his mind. The dragon speaks to him, its words clear, yet impossible: "I see you, young one. You do not belong here." In a shock of realization, Torin understands the dragon's plea. No one else can hear it, no one else can understand the words-but Torin can. At that moment, everything changes. He chooses to defy the world he's always known, running away with the dragon, escaping the village that never understood him. As they journey together, seeking refuge in the wilds, they encounter other teens-four others-each of whom carries their own special gift. They, too, are misfits. One has the power to control the wind, another can manipulate shadows, a third can speak to animals, and the last can heal with a touch. The group of them, united by their unique abilities, form an unlikely family.Complete
