Wait.” I don’t look up. “Yeah? What is it?” “It’s…about Astralia.” Astralia? Now she has my full attention. She continues. “The reason you got sent here is that you… You killed Prince Cosmo. And that tornado, you merged with the dragon egg and the coin. The dragon egg gave you wings, but the coin helps you transform into a dragon. And when you killed Prince Cosmo, King Astrid sent you here.” I gape at her. “I’m sorry I had to tell you this.” She finishes I sigh and get back to packing. I’ve made up my mind. I’m NEVER going back to Astralia. Never. Chapter 1 AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Yeah. AAAAHHHH!!!!!! That’s the name of this chapter. That’s because that’s how I reacted when I was getting pulled into that tornado. But first, a little about myself. My name is Crystal Taylor. I come from the kingdom of Comet, in the faraway land called Astralia. My parents were bakers. But my parents have a little secret. They were elemental masters. My mom was the elemental master of the cosmos, meaning she could make AWESOME balls of starry material and use them to knock out opponents, make shields, and other stuff! My dad was the elemental master of portals so that he could make cool gateways to other places! And another cool thing; they were guardians of Reality herself!! Yes, Reality is a person. Now, you’ll notice I said: “was”. That’s because I have their powers now! And I’m also now Reality’s guardian! Meaning I can harness her powers! But anyway, enough about my past situation. Let me tell you about right now… Chapter 2 Oof. Ok. So one evening I was running an errand, and someone ran down the street yelling, “TORNADO!! TORNADOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!” Of course, I hurried home. But the weirdest thing? The tornado wasn’t destroying anything. And it was after ME. I picked up speed; the tornado did, too. And just as I’m about to rush through my front door, the tornado picks me up. And I scream. And kick. And then notice. There’s a DRAGON EGG IN THE TORNADO!!! And notice again. There’s also some sort of coin in here, too. Huh. Then I start to panic again, because there’s a LIGHTNING BOLT HEADED RIGHT TOWARD ME!!!! And then, it strikes.
Continued: ? ? ? I wake up in some sort of cart. A farmer’s cart. The farmer notices I’ve woken up and says, “Golly kid, you sure are lucky. I had to pay your entry fee.” What? I sit up. “Where am I?” I ask. “Kid, you’re in Comet. The main kingdom.” Comet? Oh no. No no no no no no! “I have to get back!” I shout. I hop out of the cart and run toward the entrance to the kingdom. “Whoa, kid. Those are some nice wings you’ve got there. But I can’t let you through.” The guard says. Wings? I peek over my shoulder. There they are, two perfect dragon wings. This is too much. Next thing I know, the world goes black. ? ? ? I wake up again in someone’s house. There’s a girl about my age sweeping the floor. She notices I’ve woken up and asks, “Oh, hello there! I’m Susannah. What’s your name?” “My name is Crystal. Where am I?” I replied. “You’re in my house, silly. By the way, I like your wings. How’d you get them?” I get out of bed warily. “There was a tornado and a dragon egg. I got hit by lightning.” I managed to say. “Hm. That’s peculiar. Anyways, where do you come from?” “A village in the east, not far. I need to get back there!” “Hold on, Crystal. The farmer who brought you here was kind enough to pay the entry fee for both of you. But neither he nor I has the money to let you out. I think…you’re stuck here.” Stuck? Oh. “But anyway, you must be hungry! Here, I just baked some fresh bread! I take a slice of bread and take a bite. MMMMMMM!!!!! Maybe this won’t be so bad after all. Chapter 3 A Tragedy. It’s been 2 years since the tornado. And life has been pretty great. I’ve gotten to know everyone on this side of the kingdom! And I’ve helped Susannah cook and bake (we’re both bakers after all). But the royal family has suffered a loss. Just last week, Queen Nebula was kidnapped by a dragon. She was found dead in her lair two days later. I feel awfully sorry. “Crystal! Can you go get some wheat from the market?” Susannah called from the kitchen. “Sure!” I put on my proper dress with holes for my wings, grab my handbag, and head out. As I’m making my way to the wheat stall, I notice that Prince Cosmo is walking down the road, with his guards right behind him. I do a slight bow as he passes by. But the next thing I know, Prince Cosmo is saying something about restraining me, and guards are all over me. What is going on? “Your majesty-” I begin “Silence, dragon. You are to be held in the dungeon until your execution on Friday to pay for the crimes your kind has done against my mother.” He interrupts “But I wasn’t born like this-” “SILENCE!!” He shouts “Guards, take her away.” He instructs. I try not to struggle so the prince will know it’s all a misunderstanding. ? ? ? Well, not a misunderstanding. Tomorrow is my execution. The townsfolk came to the king yesterday in hopes he would convince his son to call off the execution. No luck. He apparently supported his son in doing so. I can’t believe this. My life is gonna end tomorrow, and all because I was falsely accused!! Grrr…… The anger builds up until I can’t take it anymore. I let out a huge roar, and next thing I know, I’m staring at a puddle of bl00d with a crown in the middle. I think I’m gonna faint. (Notes: Crystal can turn into a dragon but it makes her lose energy quickly)
