Chapter 1: Finally time

(River)

"Kevin you still have the report." I yelled. "Yeah dude. We can present tomorrow." Kevin said. I hung up the phone and laid down on the bed. It's weird you know. I have been living a normal life for so long my adventure seemed like nothing but a pesky little dream.

My name is River. My friends, the ones I have now, and I are in our freshman year of collage. It has been a very long and straining life for me. After a couple of years my memory started going of my little adventure.

Now here I am 3 years have gone by and I still keep my crystal around my neck. Many people have asked me about it but only 2 people know that truth. My friend Corbin and my girlfriend Maria. I had to tell them.

I needed some one to know who and what I was. Of course Corbin did start acting weird when he found out I was or used to be a dragon named Burn. But not any more. That part of my life died when Mathias did.

I still thought of my old friends. Kyle, Emily, and Sierra. But I lived in my worlds and them in theirs. I knew I was never going to see them again. So I moved on with my life.

But recently I have been having those strange dreams I used to have when I was a little kid. And I tried my best to ignore them. But they had faces and names I seemed to recognize.

Then that night as I was about to go to sleep my Crystal began to glow. "Oh come on shut of the light." Corbin said. Yeah he knew because he was my room mate. But as the crystal glowed and I heard her voice.

"It's hard to believe it. 3 years. You've been gone 3 years. I am starting to think the worst you know." I knew who it was from the very start. That was Winter. I just sighed as a tear made it's way down.

I was always hurt when I saw her in my dreams. I knew that I couldn't talk back. So on the nights that I would wake up I would go outside and release some steam. Their is one thing that nobody knew.

I was able to keep all my dragon capabilities. Which ment I was able to hold a flame. But in my hand not my mouth like I used to. I had set up a few targets in an abandoned building not to far away.

So I would go practice my shots. But recently I had the feeling of being followed when I went for my little work outs. I mean I new some people were suspicious of what I did all night. But I never thought I would be followed.

But lucky for me I decided to set traps tonight. I has made it to the old building when I heard a snap. I went too look and it was Corbin and Maria. "What are you guys doing out here?" I asked. "Following you of course." Maria said.

"Well you shouldn't have." I said. "We have a right to know what your doing bud. It only seems fair." Corbin said. And when I thought about it. I did tell the, the truth. I might as well show them what I could do.

"Alright but you can't tell anyone." I said. They nodded and we went inside the old building. I looked around and saw the old targets that were set up. "Whats with the targets. You doing archery or something." Corbin asked.

I just laughed. "Watch!" I said. I held up my arm and flames came to life. I focused on creating a fire ball in my hand and when it formed I launched it at the target hitting it dead center. "Thats what I do out here." I said.

I saw a look of uneasiness in Corbin. I pulled him aside letting Maria look around at my things. "Whats up dude. You've been acting strange since you figured out what I was." I said. He just looked at me.

"Can you keep a secret." He said. I nodded. HE held out his hand and this dark substance appeared. My heart went into my throat. I knew that element. Cynder had it when she was the terror of the skies.

"Corbin how long have you had that?" I asked. He just looked at me. "I don't know. It started a long time ago." He said. He put in out and looked at me. "Well thats a new topic about you. I can explain it later." I said.

I looked at the time. I had to get to sleep. "I better go." I said. Maria hugged me and pecked my cheek. "See you in the morning." She said smiling. I really didn't know why she picked me to date.

I mean what she didn't know was that I wasn't really interested in her. At all. But I went with it none the less. I went back to my room with Corbin in tow. We entered the room and I feel on the bed exhausted for some reason.

I hadn't felt this level of exhaustion since the last time I spoke to Ignitus which was a very long time ago. But as I feel to sleep I could hear a voice call my name.

(Ignitus)

I had no idea what was coming. But when his book fell of the shelf I knew what was happening. It was finally time for him to come back after so long. But I knew it didn't mean anything good.

Their was a reason that the doorway was opening again. So I decided that before anything. I should take the time to greet an old friend. When He arrived I was surprised at different he looked.

He was a little bigger and he seemed more mature then he was. When he opened his eyes I gave him time to gain his sense's. He woke up and looked around. I started to hear him laugh.

"I never thought I would see this place again." River said. "Indeed it is very good to see you again." I said. He then turned to look at me. "Ignitus. It has been way to long." River said.

I couldn't help but laugh. "Indeed it has my little friend. 3 years as gone by fast hasn't it." I said. "For you maybe but for me it has been long and very boring." River said.

But then his face went serious. "I can tell thou that you didn't bring me here to catch up." He said. I chuckled a little. "Straight to the point like always. Some things never change." I said.

"Your right thou. The doorway between your world and this one has opened. I sense a presence about to show itself. But I need to look into it more to be sure." I said. River just looked at me then sighed.

(River)

I couldn't believe it. I was finally back but with the way Ignitus called me I knew that something was about to happen. "You and your friends have been a great help. And I am glad you will all be together again. But be warned you will see some new faces." He said.

Then he pulled down a book that was new. "Also the ancestors have decided to give you're brother a second chance. But he wont remember anything about his life." Ignitus said. He brought down a book and handed it to me.

I opened it up to see my brother. Is showed his death and then it showed an egg hatching. I just smiled. "He is almost able to start his training. I hope you can show him what he need to learn." Ignitus said.

But I was to lost in my head. I was as happy as could be. If their was even a remote chance I could give him back his old memories I would have my brother back. But I was more focused on my next question.

"So when can I go back. I have waited long enough. And I have nothing tying me down to this world any more." I said. "The crystal is red again. You vcan come home when ever you wish. But you'll be larger then you were." Ignitus warned.

I just nodded my head. 3 years and it was finally time. I began to wake up. But what I woke up was to Maria and Corbin looking at me worried. "Oh god your ok." Maria said hugging me.

I just sighed. "We thought you were in a coma or something dude. You've been asleep since lunch ended." Corbin said. But that didn't surprise me. But suddenly I felt a warm glow on my chest. I took out the necklace and saw my crystal back in it's red glow.

My eyes widened for a minute then I laughed. Then Corbin and Maria saw it and gasped. "River is that What I think it is." She said. I shook my head and laughed. "It is finally time." I said.

I got up and pulled out a small paper. It was my collage drop out form. I was planning for a long time if this day was to ever come. I looked at the two in my room. "Thanks for every thing you two." I said. I walked out with nothing but the close's on my back.

I went to the office and handed them the papers and left the school building to the old house I trained in. "River!" I heard someone scream. I turned around to see Corbin and Maria coming up.

"What are you doing?" Maria asked. She was crying I could tell. "I am leaving. I have some old friends I need to catch up with." I said. I took out the crystal and laced it onto the ground.

It spun then a door way opened. Corbin and Maria just backed away. "I wasn't lying to you guy's. I really did have and adventure as a dragon. And I am going back." I said. Corbin looked at the door way then sighed.

"Well your not leaving us out of this." He said. I shook my head. "I have some one waiting for me. And you might not be able to come. Besides these people kind of have a things against humans since Mathias." I said remembering the fight.

I opened the crate next to me pulling out the sabor. I strapped it to my side. I maybe a dragon when I cross. But I knew I would be able to turn into a human when I put the crystal necklace on again.

I looked at them. "Sorry guy's but I have to go. After all. I have a promise to keep." I said. I walked threw the doorway into the other world I had come to know very well.

My human life was behind me now. "I guess I go by Burn again." I said. laughing. I then felt the changes and as the scenery appeared a looked my self over. Ignitus was right I was way bigger then I used to be.

I started walking towards the city. "I am back Winter." I said to myself silently and moved on towards the city.
