I woke up and felt weak, however, I don't recognize the place I'm in, I was in a nice soft bed, it felt like sheep's wool. I was placed next to a window, however, it didn't have any glass, just a gaping rectangular hole. I saw an older blue dragon boiling some water next to me, in a deep and raspy voice he looked at me "Good, you're awake, I thought I was too late to save you since you lost a lot of blood." he observed, he opened a cabinet and grabbed a wooden bowl, he opened a drawer and grabbed a bag of green herbs. He opened the bag, and dropped the herbs in the boiling water and started stirring them.

"I'm sure you have a lot of questions but before that, drink this first." He said as he poured the liquid into the bowl and handed it to me. I hesitantly reached out and grabbed it, it was green and smelled horrible, I looked at him "Don't worry, it's not poisoned, if I wanted to kill you I'd do it a long time ago, it's medicinal." I lifted it to my mouth and drank slowly, it almost tasted like green tea. I felt my strength coming back to me seconds after I drank it. "Now that you drank it, we can talk, my name is Aquarius, as you can tell by my name, I'm a water dragon, a guardian to be exact." he said. "My name is Enoch" I introduced myself, "How did I get here?" I asked "After Spyro saw you close your eyes, he grabbed you and put you on his back, it's not important how he got you in the dragon realm, they brought you to me and I took care of the rest." he answered.

I started looking outside the window "Enjoying the view? I thought you were afraid of heights." I was startled, how did he know my fear of heights? I've barely talked to him, he kept staring at some weird pool, maybe that had something to do with it? "I know you're not from around here, you were once human, a regular teenager who just wanted to join the United States Marine Corps." He remarked, "How do you know all that?" I asked, "It's because of the pool, I can see what people are thinking. This is the pool of visions, however, I have a special skill that I can read people's minds without the pool whenever I want to." He answered "That's a little creepy if you ask me." I mumbled "You know, us dragons aren't too friendly with humans. Here in the realm, they hunt us just for fun, the only reason Spyro and Cynder helped you is because you were a dragon. When they brought you here I knew you were human, but I saw something in you that said you were different so I helped you." He commented, "I can't believe it..." I replied, "Believe it, we got fed up with humans hunting us down in the past so we retreated, eventually finding this realm and we hid ourselves from humanity. Somehow humans got in here and started hunting us down again, that's why we have a wall surrounding the place, Warfang, the city of dragons. Probably the only city in the realm that has maybe seventy five percent of all dragons." He said.

I got off the bed and I started looking around the place and saw the pool, it was about the size of a kiddie pool, however, the reflection was different, I saw myself as the marine I always wanted to be, along with what I could only assume was the squad I was assigned to. It looked like I was in Afghanistan, I had my rifle in my hand which looked like an M4. The Taliban were shooting at us and we shot back, my squad mates got hit pretty bad and I was the only one standing, I was calling for a medic but nobody came, I threw a smoke grenade to the ground, and picked up a squad mate and headed back to base and did the same with the rest of my squad mates. However, when I got my last squad mate in the base an RPG round hit my legs and blew them clean off, some other marines got me to the medics and patched me up but that's when it ended.

"What was that?" I asked "A vision of what your future should have been if you stayed human, you would get everything you wanted and join the marines but at the cost of your legs." He answered "Oh..." I was a little shocked. "Anyways, now that you're a dragon, you have to live like a dragon, walk like a dragon, and speak like a dragon, also you need to learn your breath weapon and how to use it, I will teach you. You can choose to live under my roof or live someplace else but either way, you'll learn" He insisted. I considered my choices, should I choose to stay and live in here I'd have to adjust living with a dragon, or I could live in a different place and fend for my own, I would have to get my own food, water, and shelter. "I think I'll stay here." I answered, he smiled and said "Very well, you'll wake up at 5 in the morning and learn the basics then, when you are ready, I will teach you how to use your wings and your breath weapon." Waking up at 5 in the morning again? what a drag... "Fine..." I uttered with a sigh.

"Well in the meantime, Spyro and Cynder are on their way here, to ask you how you're feeling and give you a tour of the city." he said while looking at the pool again "I look forward to it." I replied. A few minutes later Spyro and Cynder knocked on the wood front door, "Hello you two, come in." Aquarius welcomed. Spyro thanked him and they walked in. Cynder looked around and saw me "So, are you feeling better?" Asked Cynder "Way better, if you guys haven't come I would have been long gone, thanks." I thanked them after I drank a bowl of water, "Well we were walking along the river until Cynder saw a trail of red, obviously that wasn't normal so we followed it and we found you, it was a good thing we did. When you closed your eyes I thought we were too late." Informed Spyro. "Well I'm still alive aren't I? Or am I just dreaming?" I said jokingly, Aquarius pinched my tail with two claws "Ow! What was that for!?" I asked, "To make sure you're not dreaming" Chuckled Aquarius. "What a lousy way of doing it..." I thought "Will you stay and join us for breakfast?" asked Aquarius "We'd love to!" Answered Spyro.

We went down stairs and it looked like it had a fire pit, it was a little strange, but I figured that dragons wouldn't even know how to use a stove and were taught since hatchling hood how to use the fire pit without burning down the house. He got what looked like a frying pan and put some vegetables like asparagus, my least favorite vegetable because it always got stuck in my throat and were hard to chew for me, carrots and other things like that. Aquarius then got a few slivers of meat from a compartment in the ground that was cold, around the temperature a fridge would have, and then grabbed what looked like an oil container and poured some oil on the pans. Then he laid down the slivers of meat on another pan. Spyro lit the fire in the pit and set up some metal bars on top of the fire for which I could only assume it was for holding the pans. I sniffed the air and it smelled like bacon, at first I was revolted but I didn't show it, since I was, well let's just say allergic to any pork product, that goes for another series of meat, but then I sniffed some more and it was actually turkey bacon, a meat I wasn't "allergic" to. It smelled so good that I think I was almost drooling, the food finished cooking and Aquarius got some wooden plates and put the food on there.

Aquarius killed the fire and set the food on plates on the floor, Aquarius clawed a sliver of turkey bacon in an effort to show how dragons ate their food. I closed my eyes and said grace in my mind which was what I always did before I ate. I clawed the sliver of turkey bacon and put it in my mouth. Every bite of the turkey bacon exploded with flavor, even the asparagus, my fangs were so sharp that it cut the vegetables before they touched my tongue, Aquarius was a good cook indeed. After breakfast Cynder started with "So, do you want a tour of the city? We could show you around."

"Sure!" I answered.

Aquarius smiled and opened the door "Have fun you three!", we went outside the house and I smelled the fresh air. You know, for a city it wasn't a polluted smog filled one like on Earth, but there were no vehicles or anything like that, but I'm pretty sure that's because it was a dragon city so everyone was either walking or flying. They gave me a walk around the wall showing me all the great monuments and the history behind them. By the time we finished it was maybe six in the afternoon, and we started at three, "You know, you could have made it easier on yourself by flying on your wings" Informed Cynder, I felt so dumb! I forgot I had wings! I had to quickly make up an excuse because I didn't think it was a good idea to reveal that I was human "You're right but I wanted to experience it by walking".
