Shapeshifter
Prologue
1000 years ago, there were sorcerers. Sorcerers were people whom had the capability to use magic. Then, around 300 years ago, the sorcerers broke up into two separate factions, witches and wizards. Witches and wizards are exactly the same, with three exceptions. One, witches are female and wizards are male. Two, while both can learn the exact same spells, wizards focus primarily on internal spells; these are spells that affect yourself, not others (some examples would be invisibility, shooting fireballs or maintaining shields). Witches focus on external spells; these are spells that affect others, not yourself (some examples would be turning people into frogs, creating healing potions, or telling someone's future). The third, and last, exception is their modes of transportation. Witches are known for their ability to ride broomsticks. Wizards don't ride broomsticks. Instead, they have the ability to transform into a single type of dragon. The species of dragon that they can turn into varies from person to person. No one knows what exactly started the rivalry, just that the same day that the factions were formed, war was declared. You would think that the wizards had an enormous advantage, what, with being able to transform into a mighty dragon! However, there was one major drawback to this ability. While in their dragon form, a wizard cannot cast spells. A witch could use her magic while riding her broom. And so, the war dragged on for close to 100 years. Then, both side agreed that the war was costing too many lives and called an armistice. 200 years past and the wizards and witches still have a fierce rivalry. Here is where we will start our story.
