The Cure for Boredom - A Taron Sunwake Story

Prologue

Before I start telling you this story, there are a few things I think you should know about the main character. You see, while Taron Sunwake looked like any other kid at his uncle's school(Ryo Antairus' School for the Gifted), he was actually much more. He was a Gem Dragon, an Amethyst, one of the last in Agartha(the world within a world) and among the most powerful for his age. Thanks to a powerful bit of magic his grandmother had used to hide her children from killers(who thought dragons were nothing more than beasts and would bring ruin to Agartha), he, his brother, his sister, and his mother could all look human(his father used to be human too, but an encounter with a Silver Dragon ended badly, and the magic used to bring him back didn't work as expected, turning him into an elf).

But he had one problem. He was always bored. Nothing could hold his interest for long, and this caused him to look for something -anything- to do. It didn't matter if it was taking apart a toaster or setting his sister's Half-Dragon Barbie collection on fire, he'd do it. As you can tell, this got him in quite a bit of trouble, but no one really got mad at him(except his sister, who now had to start her Half-Dragon Barbie collection over again) because they knew he couldn't help it. He was just bored all the time. Now, how about we get to the story, eh? It all star- What? You want to know what he looks like human? Fine, if it will get you to shut up and listen to the story.

At the time of this story, Taron Sunwake was 5ft 3in., a bit short for his "age"(his body grew slower than humans, almost aging at the same rate as half-elves) and he weighed in at about 130~140lbs. His hair was a weird mix of black and blonde with light streaks of purple, and his skin was a little paler than his schoolmates. He wore simple clothes when the school uniform wasn't required, usually tan pants with a gray-blue shirt. Not the most stylish choice, and I can't say the colors went together or anything, but it's what he wore. Though technically, he did wear something else, but I won't ruin the surprise! Now anymore questions? No? Then let's get on with the story!
