A great many years ago in a foreign land

A woman lay on her bed, heavily pregnant with her child. She had fallen gravely ill to many sicknesses. So many that all the doctors in the land had given up because her condition was so bad. Her husband clasped her hand, crying bitter tears of woe as his wife was getting weaker and weaker by the minute. It was a miricle that the baby was still alive, but it was slowly dying with its mother. The rain was pouring hard outside of their home, thunder booming. A loud knocking pounded on the door. The husband stood and opened the door to see a young man with a small dragon on his shoulder.

"Can we come in?" The man asked. The husband let him in from the rain, his clothes soaked completely. He noticed the husbands dying wife crying out from her bedroom. He walked to the room and saw the woman struggling for breath, the husband ran inside and held onto her hand, begging her to hold onto life. The young man looked at the dragon on his shoulder. "I think I know where to hide it now." He said, holding out a tiny metal delicate looking plant in his hand. The dragon's eyes widened at what he was doing.

"Are you serious? You are going to hide that in this house?" He asked. The young man crushed the entire metal plant in his hand and put the powder into a cup of water.

"No, I'm going to hide it within her." He said, and offered the wife the water. The husband helped her drink it and she fell asleep, looking much better. The husband was amazed and extremely relieved at this fact. The husband offered him a nights rest in their guest room. The next day, the young man and the dragon dissappeared, but the wife was already cured and the baby was born, healthy and beautiful. But her eyes were different from the rest of her families, they shone a bright emerald green.

Present day in New York City

Abbey Nightengale walked up the stairs to hers, her mother's, and her mother's newest asshole of a boyfriend's apartment. Her bag bounced on her back with every step she took up the stairs. Abbey was a regular teenage girl. Dark brown hair, lightly tanned skin, full lips, and the only thing that made her stand out from the rest of the world, her exceptionally green eyes. 405... 406... ah, here it is, 407. She thought. She fumbled with her key a bit, turned the lock and twisted the dull doorknob on the apartment door, letting herself in.

Her bright green eyes darkened at the smell of smoke in the room. Her mom's boyfriend was smoking on the couch while her mom was chugging down some beer. "Abbs! Get me another beer would ya?" Her mom yelled from the living room. Abbey scowled at the name 'Abbs'. She hated it when she called her that.

She grabbed the beer can from the fridge and threw her school bag into her room. Walking into the living room, she heard her mom talking. "I know. My daughter is so unappreciative it annoys me. She doesn't do what I tell her, makes up excuses like 'I'm doing homework' or 'I'm doing what you told me to do earlier'. It's so bothersome having a child like that." She said, sitting on the couch with her boyfriend.

The woman was chubby, wore big gray sweatpants and a large pink t-shirt with fading letters that read 'You suck'. She also had rollers in her hair and really thick makeup. The smell of smoke and alcohol made Abbey cough a bit.

The woman snatched the beer can from her daughter's hand, not saying thank you or even acknowledging her presence. Sighing, Abbey went into her bedroom, the only room in the apartment without the smell of smoke.

Abbey plopped onto the bed and changed out of her school uniform into a white tank top, black sweatshirt, and a black skirt that went above her knee. Also pulling on some socks and her regular shoes. She heard some moaning outside her room and wanted to throw up. She popped in her earbuds and cranked the volume up. Then she got up and inspected the growing plants on her windowsill.

She watered the sprouting flowers, this was the only peace she got at all, listening to her music, all alone in her room, tending to her flowers. She smiled a bit at the buds poking out of the soil. Then, all of a sudden, her entire body started to feel funny. Her whole body glowed for a second, shining a bright yellow. Then, it all stopped. Abbey blinked, not knowing how to comprehend what just happened. Then she focused her attention back onto the plants, her hand stroked the tiny leaf a bit. Grow healthy and strong... into something beautiful. She thought. Then, the plant started to sprout all of a sudden, it grew into a healthy red flower. Abbey looked at the flower in shock, then looked at her hand.

"Wow...What in the world just happened?" She wondered. Then she opened her bedroom door and walked out of the apartment, leaving her ipod and trying to ignore the loud moaning sounds coming from the living room. "Man... maybe some fresh air will help me think a little better..." She mumbled to herself as she walked down the stairs and out of the building.

Her shoes tapped against the sidewalk lightly as she walked. Her mind still in deep thought about what just happened. Maybe... I have an extreme case of a green thumb... no... that sounds ridiculous... Her mind was still in another world, so much that she didn't notice someone walking in front of her. She walked head first into the person, accidently knocking him down. "Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" She said as she helped him up. He was a few inches taller than her, wore a black trench coat, pale pasty skin, fiery red hair, and weird swirly goggles.

"Yeah Yeah. Just watch where you're going next time." He said, then walked down the sidewalk again. She continued her walk until she was in the park, sitting underneath one of the trees. Abbey tested out hr newlyfound ability, touching a acorn in her hand. Soon, a small thin sprout cracked out of the shell, she gasped.

It grew more and continued to grow until she pulled away her hand. Soon, the roots were dangling off her hand, searching for the dirt. She buried the roots nearby and touched the sprout again. Soon enough, it was a fully grown tree. She smiled and touched the bark, not willing it to do anything but live it's life.

"Looks like we found it before those stupid monks... and this time... it's a human..." She heard a dark female voice say. She turned and nearly screamed. It was a ghost. She clamped her hand over her mouth and just stared. Her heart felt like it was about to burst out of her chest. Next to the ghost was that same guy she ran into earlier. He had some weird smile on his face, then a whole group of robots hvered behind him.

"Get her." He said. Then the robots started to fly right at her. She closed her eyes and backed up against the tree. She let a loud scream pass her lips.

"ORB OF TORNAMI!"

Abbey opened her eyes to see all the robots short circuiting. In front of her was a short bald kid, dressed in some sort of weird robes. He held a blue gleaming orb in his hands. Then she heard voices from overhead. "Omi! I thought you said you wouldn't hog all the fighting to yourself again!" A female voice said. Abbey looked up and her eyes widened. Above her was a massive green dragon, and three other people were riding the dragon, wearing similar robes to the bald kid in front of her. The three kids jumped off the dragon and landed in front of her.

"Jack! Going so low as attacking innocent girls like that! Shame on you!" Said the one with a cowboy hat. The dragon overhead shrunk and landed on the floor facing her. He looked at her a bit and sniffed.

"Guys! This is it!" The dragon said. She nearly just about fainted. First she found out she could grow things at will, then ghosts appear, robot attacks, now talking dragons? This was too much to take in on one day! The kid with the brown hair looked at the dragon oddly.

"What are you talking about? The shen gong wu isn't anywhere in sight!" He pointed out. Then, her whole body started to glow, and all four of them gaped at her. Then she started to feel lightheaded, next thing she knew, the whole world went black.
