• Chapter one: The Beginning
    It began one rainy day at our mother’s funeral. She died in a battle us not knowing what happened. Now we were orphans we live with our two cousins Rownan and Shanii. It was me Katalona my sister Mray and Milies our little brother. It was the longest griffin flight I have ever been on we finally arrived in the quiet town of Sownan Falls, luckily we were nowhere near the battle of druids, but I never knew what druids were until that one day it was time to go to bed. Then me Mray and Milies started talking about what druids were Milies: Mray what are druids? Mray: Well mom told me about this when I was your age she said something about druids being shapeshifters but that it was a secret and I should only tell you when we are most desperate. Then their was an awkward silence. Then are cousin Rowonan and Shanii said that there were the cloud dragons outside we jumped out of our beds with the linen blankets put on our clothes and rain out of the straw hut. We watched the graceful cloud dragons white as snow their wings beat as fast as my heart. I was amazed at how their tails beat back and forth as fast as a cheetah running. They were beautiful, they were the only serenity that what is with the battle of the druids going on . They flew through the clouds and disappeared then we went back inside and went to bed. I woke up to Rowonan running down the hall, making a thud thud as he walked. He said it was time for breakfast and we better come quick before our uncle eats all of the honey bread, strawberries and drinks all of the milk. So me and sis got dressed and ran out of the room Miles did the same, but then I ran back into the room to get my fairy necklace with a white crystal attached to the bottom. It was all I had left from my mother it was in her will to give me her necklace, than I ran out of the room to breakfast. I had ate all I could and got my satchel and coat cause today was school and today was the day for archery sign up. I always admired the dynamics of the bow and how the arrow could penetrate anything(mostly). So I also grabbed my father’s bow, Mray was gonna sign up for the sorceror’s school of magic, well Mile’s was going to go try out for the warrior’s school of swordmastery. We road our horses soar, poa, and snowacj to school when we arrived everybody was staring at us like a bear with a wolf pup for a cub we knew nobody, but we just kept walking until this tall figure with black hair approached me with a long scare running across his face. Hello I am Rakoria, he said in a strong, but mellow tone. “Hi” I said my name is Katalona I said in a shy voice. Why what a pretty name he said with a smile, I began to blush why thank you. Your welcome he said, I have never seen you around here are you new? Yes I said my mother died so my older sister my younger brother and me all, had to move here to our aunt’s and uncle’s house. I said kinda with and odd face on, trying not to think about the death of our mom holding back the tears. It didn’t work he noticed me restraining myself from crying. Are you ok? He said with a worried look. Yea I’m fine. we should probably start heading to class now, ok I said. As we walked down the hall to dragon riding class.
