Dragon Tamer

As I soar high through the air I look down to see my younger twin brother and sister. Their yelling at me and flailing their arms. I make a nose dive straight for them but just as I am about to reach thbe ground I revert back to my human form unexpectedly.

I flip forward and use my hands to push off the ground somewhat and roll to a stop. "Mommy told you not to use your powers since you can't control them anymore." said my little sister. "I can too control them!" I snappped back in a childish tone. "Mommy says it's time now." said my brother. "I know." I said as I walked back into the house with them.

It was time for me to either become a monster and try to kill everyone or a warrior. You see there are some people in my villlage that are born with a tattoo of an animal of some kind. Those born with a tattoo have the ability to become the animal at will. Untill the age of seventeen when theyb start to lose control of their powers. It is at this time when they are sent to find the resting grounds for that animal so that they can learn from them and can better control their powers. People who are able to control their powers usually become bounty hunters. They go through different villages and capture monsters and poeple that are theives or murderers or whatever.

"Good-bye I love you." I say as I hug my mom. I kneel down so that I am more leved with my siblings. I look at their dirty blond hair and blue eyes that are tearing up. I pull them into a hug and tell them I love them. And then just like that I leave.

To be honest I'm not sure where I'm going but I know it's somewhere in Lost Mountain. Which incendentally gets it's name from the fact that many people get lost in its thick, foggy, forest-like terrain. Which is probably why dragons choose to live there. And it's just my luck that my tattoo on my back is a dragon-one of the most dangerous animals. Its head lies between my shoulder blades below my neck. Its tail extends down to my waist and its wings curl around my sides.

So you'd think it would be difficult to find a dragon through the fog but about an hour before nightfall guess what happens. That's right I basicly walk right into one. I tense up and stand very still. I can feel the heat of its breath in my face(and smell it). Its big glowing yellow eyes staring at me. And I can't tell if it will attack or not.
