Chosen-7
"Hey... um... you okay, Raleigh?" you ask.
"NO," he yells at you. His paws and tail slowly become larger, and then his entire body changes shape. One by one, each patch of fluffy white fur on him disappears, and is replaced by dark gray scales. His tiny teeth, clenched in pain, grow larger and pointier. You scream. Raleigh changed from a cute little kitten to a huge fire-breathing dragon.
"Raleigh! What happened to you?" You scream. Raleigh doesn't answer. Instead, he lifts his great foot up into the air, and smashes it into the ground, only inches away from where you stand.
You think, trying to decipher whether or not this is just a dream, or if it's real. When Raleigh almost bites your head off, you finally decide that it's real, making you scream even louder.
"Think of a happy place, Rowan, think of a happy place," you whisper to yourself as you crouch down in the corner of the room. Raleigh is looming over you, casting an enormous shadow upon you. He opens his mouth to breath fire, and you put your arms out as your weak defense.
You can hear the fire crackling, but you can't feel anything. "Am I dead?" you open your eyes, and see that the fire didn't even touch you. You somehow made your own shield kind-of thing.
The Queen walks into the ballroom, points her finger at Raleigh and he turns back into a kitten. She turns to look at you. "Well done, Rowan. You're ready to start Spell Training."
"What?" You ask.
"You made a shield by doing a spell. That's how the fire didn't hurt you. Well, even if it did touch you, you wouldn't be harmed. It was holographic."
"Magic...?" You ask.
"Yes."
"Count me in on Spell Training. I want to learn magic!"
"You can save everyone in the Misted Realm if you learn your spells, but it will take a lot of work to teach you everything."
"Cool. Okay."
"NO," he yells at you. His paws and tail slowly become larger, and then his entire body changes shape.
