Athena POV (for the whole story): I grabbed a purse that I had food and money in it. It was my school back pack and I put granola bars in in once a week. I placed the wand in on of the main pockets. Carful put the wrinkled yellow sheet of paper that was the letter in my back pocket. I didn't change into PJs while reading the book. I out my red bandana around my neck and a leather jacket on. Grabbed the flashlight on my desk, I kept it incase of a black out and needed a light to usefor studding. I turned my rooms lights off and opens my window. 'What will I do if my parents find out? Lie' I thought tuing my black hair in a pony tAil after jumping out of my window. I sprinted for the forest with out a care. Once I was out if sight I tried to turn on my flashlight. The battery was dead. 'Great I'm out in the wood during a full moon. Your flashlight is dead and this might be a trick!' I thought. I remebered one of the spells for light. It was a harry potter one.

Taking the wand out I whispered "Lumos" and light came from the tip of the wand. I did have magic!

Then there was flapping of giant wings from after dinner. It was when I opened the book. Then a old voice spoke. "Ah, hello young sorceress. I see you found the wand merlin carved for you. He is an amazing warlock" a wise voice spoke. I turned to see a flying dragon. When I landed the ground shook like an earthquake for a moment. "Who are you?" I said scared

"I am the great dragon, you've heard of me from the old book your family has had for a long time. It was written by merlin himself! " the dragon said. He stuck his head towards me.

"Your real! I mean your from a book, how are you alive?"

"That young sorceress is not a book about a fantasy, but a book about history!" He said sternly. He looked like the great dragon in the painting in the book.

"Wait, my mom said we had the book in my family since the legend was told! It's history so merlin was real and so is magic! That means if that spell with light I just did was real, and that I'm desendents from merlin. You said merlin wrote the book. You used present tense when you first talked about merlin!" I said amazed. My favorite story was history!

"your are correct! Merlin is still alive, he actully still looks when he was in his youth. If I didn't know you or merlin, but saw you two, I would think your siblings. Your are just 16 and that the age Merlin and Arthur fist met. Also, You will not be teaching your self magic, Merli will. He has done it with your mother, your grandfather and birt great granmother. Your grand father had to be adopted because his mother couldn't keep him. He had to be protected and away from Morgana and Mordred. They however are alive." the great dragon said laying down in front of me. He actully didn't have bad breath like people use to believe. It smelled of mint. Sorry got distracted I have ADHD.

"Where Is merlin know and do I have to fight against the 2 triators of Camelot?" I asked. I actully was untested and sat down woth the dragon.

"Soon you will fight them. for Meelin, he will be in this area tomorrow night to teach you. im afriad are time is up! You've actully been dreaming but this conversation is real. You did find the letter and wand. Meet merlin here tomorrow night afree dinner!" The dragon said. He blew his breath towards me.

I woke on my desk. The letter and wand in my hand and the book as my pillow. It was 6:55.

'Crap! I hAbe to clean everything up before my parents wake up, or I'm dead!' I thought. i glued the secret area up with a glue stick. I put the wand and letter in my pillow case. And hopped in PJs and 'slept' until I heard my parents wake.
