Blood it's in all of us. Red mostly for humans, sliver the color of elves and fairies. The color of fresh falling snow is the color of shifters. Dark gray is a mix of human and Elf. Last is gold, the color of greed and death, the blood of a dragon.
When one gets married you mix blood. You and your love take each other's blood and it changes both of your colors. My color is light gray...and it's about to become a mix of sliver and gold.

It was normal day at least for myself I'm a daughter of an elf and shifter. So a normal day for me is hunting with my shifter papa and uncle. I was in my human form , because I thought before to shoot then use my teeth to take down food. I'm not as strong as my uncle and papa.
Speaking of the two, they were on edge that day so was my mother. He asked me to stay with him and my younger siblings. I just shook my head and told him I need help hunting. My mother nodded but told me to be careful. If I knew that would be last time I saw my family...Lets face it if I knew what was going to happen I would n't have left my house. Heck if I knew what was going to happen, I would have my twin sister put a spell on me to sleep until winter. Well no sense in changing the past.
I was tracking a deer, which I caught it's sent a few minutes earlier. I made it to a clearing and saw my target when I heard something I hadn't heard in a while. I let my pray go and ran to the sound. I was right, when I heard the crying from a nearby log. It does pay to have 2 younger brothers.
The baby was tied to a stump...I was mad. I heard about poachers that used children as bait for creatures who loved the taste of human young ones. This was a baby a little barn they had went too far this time.
"Don't worry Little barn, I'll get you free." I said as I unsheathed my hunting knife and cut the ropes.
When that was done I held the baby close to me. I got a good look at the barn in my arms. Pale skin was a little red from crying, and hair the color of gold coins. He stopped crying and I looked to see his green emerald eyes. He was beautiful little barn...he was a good thing to use as bait for any creature. I had a in my mind to have a talking with the poachers which meant my teeth and their body.
I walked away, hoping that my uncle or papa would be close. I was about half way back down my track when I heard rough voices cursing. Dammit it was the poachers, I needed to get away, I held the barn tighter and started to run and I could hear them coming after me.
I knew that I had to hide, so I chose a tree and held the barn and whispered to the wind.
"Please master of the wood please protect us, and a little help would be okay." Never ask a spirit of nature anything, they usually do something to make themselves laugh.
"Look at what we have here the little dragon gave us a shifter, a unmated one too." I looked to see two men.
You see I'm not the strongest person, but I couldn't let these men take the barn even though it's a dragon's. I growled, I blame my shifter side have you seen a mother bear protect her clubs, then you've seen half of what my papa is like. I was ready to run because attacking would be bad for the little barn.
"You have a choice dog, come easily and we wont hurt you or the dragon, if you fight then you both will be hurt." the man said as he brought out a whip.
My answer was a swift kick between the legs and I started to run. I then heard the sound of cursing and then I felt a pain in my side, I then felt something coating my side. I was feeling light-headed, I knew what it was, an arrow had hit me...I knew that I need to rest but I did that it ment death to both us.
I tripped over a root, I made sure to protect the little barn. He wasn't hurt but he was scared and started to cry. I then heard the men I put my body between them and the barn if I was going to die then I was going to die to protecting him. That's when I heard the roar...every shifter child even human child knew about the roar.
I looked up to see a dark shape of a dragon, large as two castles...then I saw the green of its eyes that's when I blacked out...
