Outside, Azur and his classmates were out on the track field of the school stadium. The stadium lights were on so they would see better in the dark. Looking around, Azur stared at the football field in wonder, seeing white lines in the grass and numbers. How we wondered how they were able to do that.

Coach Hoskins announced to his students "Alright, folks! First, we're gonna start with a little practice race. I will call out two of you to begin. You will start from those arrows..." He gestured to the yellows arrows in a row. "And run all way around the track to there. This isn't a real race, people. There's no need to win. This is just to test your speed. Am I clear?" Everyone nodded.

"Good." He looked at them from side to side.

"Let's start with you, new kid." He pointed to Azur. He looked around. "And...you, dragon girl."

He pointed to a pretty young Asian girl with shoulder-length black hair with purple streaks, black leather jacket, wifebeater with purple scale patterns, tight black spandex with violet lines going down the sides which accented her hips and butt, black belted high-heel boots, black mascara, light pink lipstick, lavender eyeshadow and earrings. She had lavender reptilian eyes. She smiled when her name was called.

"Come up, right here." He directed as the girl came up eagerly to the starting line first, while Azur came up as well, hesitantly. The girl turned to him with a smirk.

"Can't wait to see your face when you lose." She put emphasis on 'lose'. "Name's Myeong, by the way. Know it, fear it, worship it." She spoke to him in an almost threatening tone. "I've never lost a race before..."

"Yeah, I don't care." Azur dismissed offhandedly, interrupting her mid-gloat. Not bothering to remind her that it was just a practice test. Myeong snarled at him silently then got ready to run. "I'll make you eat those words!", she told him in her head.

"On your mark. Get set." Myeong was crouched down in a running start position and shot Azur a glare, but he pays her no mind.

"GO!" He blew his whistle and the two were off. Myeong was running pretty fast. Azur was running faster, due to his massive size, but found it difficult to catch up with her. She appeared to be very experienced with speed. She shouted back to him boasting.

"Prepare to see why they call me the Blazing Dragon!" And continued running. Azur breathed heavily as he run, then suddenly his fear of looking like a failure to his parents made his temper flare. As Myeong kept running and running at a high speed with a grin on her face, a strong gust of blew behind her, leaving her aghast at seeing Azur running far ahead of her then crossed the finish line. She immediately stopped in her tracks, looking flabbergasted at her sudden defeat. Her FIRST defeat.

"Not bad, Azur. I've never seen anything like that before." Hoskins congratulated him. Azur sat back down on the bench with the other students and the coach called for the next two. Myeong walked up to him looking mighty pissed. Her purple eyes were starting to glow.

"No one! And I mean NO ONE has ever beaten me in a race! Never! This was my reputations! My life! All that mattered to me!" She roared in his face. She took deep breaths then a look of realization appeared on her face, then a small smile.

"Wow. You're not so bad. What's your name?" She asked him.

"Azur." He answered. She gave him a smile.

"You know, Azur, we might actually make swell racers together one day. Count on it." She blew him a kiss then walked over to sit down. Azur smiled and blushed.


Azur carried his tray of food around in the cafeteria for a seat. It was lunch period now. He was a bout to give up when he finally found an empty table and sat in it. While he sat there and ate, he heard a familiar voice.

"Azur!" He looked up and saw Ute, Ingrid, Seònaid, Priya, Temperance and Kendra walking over to him with impressed looks on their faces.

"What happened in the gym was completely mind-blowing!" She squealing, fan-girling.

"Pardon?" He raised an eyebrow. What were they talking about? Ute pulled out her iPhone, opened up a video, then showed it to Azur. It was a video recording she made in the gymnasium, showing Azur strangling Valhalla and putting her in the hoop upside down.

"I have to say that was totally awesome!" She shouted as she, Kendra and Temperance sat down in front of him and Seònaid and Ingrid sat next him side by side. Kendra and Priya sat on both ends of the table.

Seònaid said "You have such brute strength." She started fanning herself, almost about to faint. Azur smiled and blushed as the gang complimented him.

That's when Leif came up from behind him "Hey, is this seat taken?" He asked pointing to an empty chair. They all shook their heads. Leif took the seat and sad between Azur and Seònaid, making her glare at him.

"Azur saved my life from Valhalla and Wes." He pointed out. The girls gasped.

"You did? That was so nice!" Priya exclaimed.

"Thanks for that."

"Yeah. You're welcome, I guess."

Leif explained "I'm a jötnar. You probably haven heard of it, but it's a giant mountain troll. Most of them are found in the Jotenheimen National Park in Norway. I know what you're thinking. I'm supposed to be larger just like the rest. Well, that hasn't happened. Not yet anyway."

"I'm sure I wouldn't know of any jötnars. I'm from Denmark."

"Who are your parents, if I may ask?" asked Kendra.

"My mother is Cailleach Bheur."

Seònaid's eyes nearly popped out of her head. "Cailleach Bheur?! I've heard of her. She used to bring a lot of snow days for us during the winter in Scotland."

Azur continued "And my dad is Grendel."

Now that REALLY caught the others off guard, except for Ingrid who already knew. It all made sense now. The massive size. The half-grotesque, yet half-handsome appearance. The quick temper. The brute strength. Everything. A dead silence broke between them. Temperance broke the silence.

"You're Grendel's son? The one from the Beowulf story?"

"Yes. My mother brought him to life after Beowulf tore his arm off. And that's when they fell in love."

"So, what really happened in the story? We really want to know."

Everyone nodded in agreement and inched closer to him expectedly. But before Azur can say anything, the kids behind him interrupted him.

"That's him! That's the guy who beat me at gym class." Azur turned to see Myeong sitting at the table behind him with a deep blue fox with a light blue belly and nine tails with white tips, a large human skeleton wearing cracked sunglasses and a saggy red mohawk, a tall, skinny, pale girl with black hair tied in a bun, pink kimono with yellow flowers and geisha makeup and a humanoid boy who is reptilian in appearance and wearing only latex shorts.

"So you're the one who beat Myeong? The speed demon of this school?" The skeleton boy asked. Azur's friends were surprised that he had beaten Myeong.

"Is that true, Azur?" Seònaid asked, just as surprised as everyone at the table.

"Yes." He nodded.

The geisha girl said with an ethereal tone in her voice. "Wow. That's unbelievable. No one has ever beaten Myeong before."

Myeong added "That's what I said." The geisha girl continued. "Hi. I'm Wenquian, a jorōgumo." She introduced the rest of her friends.

"That's Lei, he's a Gashadokuro." She gestured to the overgrown skeleton who waved.

"That's Zraga, an offspring of a kaiju who was named Godzilla."

The lizard boy said "Hello."

She pointed to the fox last. "And this is Hiroshi, a kitsune. A fox spirit." The fox, now named Hiroshi, spoke up. "You have talent, my friend. Real talent."

Wenquian said "Myeong is a Japanese dragon." Myeong's purple reptile eyes lit up as she stood.

"Yeah. And I can breath fire. Watch this." To prove this, she took a deep breath. Azur and his friends watched as she blew out nothing, but air. Everyone, including her, was confused.

Not wanting to look bad, she tried again, but to no avail. Then again, then again, only to get the same expected result. Frustration, determination and persistence took over her brain. Then took a deeper breath and blew much larger. Her face started to turn purple. Suddenly, she let out a small, but loud squeak from down under, emitting a small flame that only appeared briefly over the fabric of the back of her shorts. She managed to make fire, but it came out the other end. Her hand flew up to her face as she gasped. Her friends suddenly snickered at her hysterically failed attempt.

"It's not funny!" She glowered at them, sat back down and crossed her arm.

"Okay. I may not breath fire yet. But someday I will." She admitted and turned to see she burned a hole in her shorts. "That's my fifth pair this month."

"Don't worry. I hope you will. Because I hope you will make a lovely dragon one day." Azur comforted her. Myeong looked at him with surprise. She smiled and blushed. Her friends noticed this and hid smiles behind their hands. Suddenly, bell tones rang throughout the school. It was now time for next period.

"Say, guys, if you all are not busy, do you maybe want to come by my dorm room so I can finish the rest of my story before we go to bed?" Azur insisted everyone. They all nodded.

"Why, of course, Azur! Because I'd love to hear your story!" Wenquian squealed with delight.

"Yeah, that sounds fun." Lei said in agreement.

With that, everyone left to their next period classes. When did, Myeong gave Azur a playful smack on his leg. He looked at her in surprise. She smirked at him in response and gave him a wink as she left.

Azur threw his trash away on the floor, forgetting where they placed the trashcan, and took off for his next period class.


Meanwhile, in Headmaster Skullery's office, the man himself was on his 1896 rotary telephone in the middle of a conversation with someone.

"I don't care how much he would have to sacrifice. It's just for a good cause. Because of, you know, some of the upcoming events happening. (Pause) Uh-huh. (Pause) Understandable. (Pause) No, I know that some may think that it would be like finding a needle in a haystack. (Pause) And you haven't consulted him first? (Pause) Look, just make sure that these things are known by everyone before any bloody confusion ensues. (Pause) Oh, for pity's sake! Very well, I will note that everyone has a shot at it. But it will be their word against mine. No promises. (Pause) Okay, I love you too."

With that, he hung up and took a deep exhale.
