'Violet had kept her promise so far. It had been an entire month and no one was raided but it agitated the vikings who gave me strange looks stating that I had something to do with it. My father was worse he would constantly beat me and tried to force me to say what had happened between me and the dragons. I told him what I told everyone, "I don't control the dragons, they probably left." and then that was that. My brother would always be with his friends and tease me saying that I was a freak and then beat me up. But something happened to me one day. Something was ready to come out of me. Something dangerous. A beast. A dragon.'

One day I was walking to the village hall when my brother, who was taller and more muscular than I, and his three friends grabbed me and started to beat me up.' "Haha! Look at the freak! What's wrong lost your tongue!" one of the kids said while kicking my shin. "Nah he's just weak! Look at him! He's nothing!" another said punching me in the stomach. My brother, Eugor told his friends to hold me up and started punching me in the gut, face, etc. "You are nothing! You don't have any GUTS! You'll always be the wretch of the village! You are no one, but a freak that belongs to the demons!" With the last sentence, something snapped in my small body, and when Eugor tried to punched me in the face, only for his fist being caught in mid swing with my right hand. Everyone froze with shocked of what had happened. I raised my head and looked straight at my brother. Eugor didn't know what he was seeing, but it was clear that I was not happy but neither was I just angry but I felt a strange sensation in my eyes and my vision became sharper and clearer which for some reason made him frightened. It didn't feel natural. It didn't feel Human, but it did felt good. Before everyone knew it, I twisted Eugor's arm making him scream and dropped him to his knees while my left foot connected with Eugor's chin knocking him backwards, with an evil grin I backhanded the teen on my left while my right leg smashed into the knee of the other on my right. Both went down screaming in pain, the teen from behind, the strongest one, was surprised and started to become afraid and when I turned my body towards him with unnatural speed I punched him right in the face before he even had a chance to react. Just before he blacked out he got to see a glimpse of my eyes. My glowing, slitted eyes.

I stood where I was and turned to see my brother and his two conscious friends quivering on the ground in fear. 'Look at them!' A voice in dragonic nature spoke. 'Quivering under you. You are not weak. You are no wretch. You are not nothing. You are strong! You are Alpha! YOU. ARE. NIGHTSHIFT!' I grinned and started feeling my eyes become slits again, slowly walking toward them ready to tear them apart, to have an urge to kill but I stopped, frightened of what I just felt. 'NO I can't kill them, it won't make me better but a monster in their eyes.' I thought, shaking my head. The dragonic voice spoke again but more controlled. 'Forgive me, my instincts clouded your thinking, but they are wrong about us. About you.' 'Who are you?' 'Into the forest, before your sire finds you, and I will reveal myself, my other half.' I was confused but I didn't want to face his father so he went into the forests, leaving the teens to their wounds.

In the deepest part of the forest, I was searching for the dragon that spoke the voice in my head but I accidently tripped landing in a puddle of water. "Great. Just per-" I stopped when I looked into my reflection revealing my glowing, slitted eyes and….SCALES! My hand shot up to my face feeling my face feeling the black smooth scales on me. I then felt pain in my cheek, and noticed that my hand was covered in black scales and sharp claws with blood on it, blood seeped from my scratched cut into the puddle distorting it and when it cleared it wasn't me in the reflection. But a DRAGON! A Night Fury! I looked at himself but I was still human, well close as human ignoring the scales, claws and slits, and then, if things could get freakier, the night fury in the reflection spoke. "Well there you are, or feel you are, I can't tell but I was going to say look for a reflection, but crashing into a puddle to look for me takes the cake." I was shocked not because of the voice. Well actually YES! BECAUSE IT SPOKE IN MY VOICE! "H-How are you speaking in my voice?" I whispered. The dragon in the reflection blinked. Then again. Blink. "Well uh ...I'm basically your dragonic half, since I have your eyes as well, so maybe that has something ...or your crazy and the gods are punishing you to make yourself crazy but I don't think so. Let's go with the formal." "What do you mean 'other half' at the village." I questioned him. The night fury rolled his eyes. Because I am your half, the dragonic half, and you are the human half. A Shifter, a Lycan." "WHAT! I'M A WEREWOLF!" I screamed fearfully. The night fury groaned with his paw to his snout mumbling 'is this seriously my other half'. "No, you are not a werewolf, even though they do exist but that's not the point. You are a dragon. A Dragon Lycan. But unlike werewolves we can control our forms, and it seams to me that you are in your warrior stage which make you stronger, faster, and more aware of your surroundings. Helped with the fight did it. Like a Werewolf." "Weredragon!" I exclaimed. The night fury dropped his mouth or maw slightly and stuttered "W-What?" "You know! Weredragon. Like a Werewolf but turns into a dragon! HAHAHA!" I laughed at my wording.The night fury's eyes become slits and snarled. 'Lets just say he did not get my jokes well. AT ALL.' "FOCUS! I am trying to help you understand what is happening to you, but if you keep interrupting me, YOU WON'T FIND OUT!" I shut up. My own reflection telling me to shut up, that's a first.

"What do I call you." I asked finally. The dragon froze, his eyes threatening to pop out of his head. I then realized he didn't have a name. I narrowed my eyes and interrogated the dragon. "You don't have one do you?" He became nervous and stuttered. "Uh….w-well I have many names. Instinct, Half, Guide, Chaperone-" "Wait, What?" "Someone needs to keep an eye on you once you find a perfect mate." the dragon smirked and winked becoming calm a bit more. I was confused, what's a chaperone? And by mate he didn't mean as a dragon he meant as a human, right? "Anyway to make it short, I have many names but I never had one since I was just created an hour ago sooooo, I guess the choice is yours."I thought and thought until I remembered a name. "Nightshift-" "No, that's your dragon name. Pick something else." He deadpanned. "Black." "Lame." "Kitten" I joked. "ABSOLUTELY NOT." He snarled. "Scales?" I questioned, getting a bit annoyed by these rejections. The night fury snorted. "All dragons have scales. Your very terrible at naming things, you know that?"

I glared a bit, earning myself a smirk from the dragon, and mumbled 'picky reptile' and tried to find a perfect name for the night fury until I heard a howl over a few miles out which caught the dragon surprised in curiosity. Then I finally had the perfect name for the dragon. "...How bout Wolf. Since were-Your-I'm a shifter and you are like my inner beast-dragon-whatever and guide. Seams fitting." The night fury tilted his head to side, curious and started to smile. Wait? Didn't he have teeth a minute ago? But my thoughts were interrupted. "I like it! And its meaning. 'Listen to what your instincts tell you. Smart, loves autonomy and has a strong social character. Confidence in yourselves. Reminds you to have all the tools to help you survive. A lone wolf to discover your true self and voice.' traits of a Night Fury as well….I LOVE IT!" The dragon now known as Wolf exclaimed. I was silent. "I….didn't know that animals have meaning, but I like it, it suits you." The dragon smiled a 'toothless' smile at me and then he started to fade. I was shocked, was I going to lose my new friend? Will I be alone again? All these thoughts terrified me. Wolf just kept on smiling. "Hey don't worry, I'm still with you. Your inner dragon is just settling down back to your human form, I'll be back. Oh and for the record, your not alone, you'll have friends that you'll meet in the future one day and they will stand by your side. I just know it. Don't lose hope, and I'll tell you everything you need to know about being a shifter. May the Fury's Fire watch over you, Nightshift. And be CAREFUL. Your father been agitated lately and I fear that you struck the embers of the fire by that fight. Watch yourself and trust your instincts, trust in the flames."

And with those words, Wolf disappeared leaving the reflection of myself in his place. I then noticed I looked different now, I looked at myself and saw that my scales and claws are gone and my eyes are back to normal. I was thankful and happy that I have a real friend to talk to and whispered into the night sky. "Thank you for talking to me, Wolf, and thanks for the warning, I'll be careful for now on." I then turned towards the village and walked towards home but unknown to me, a dragon laid within the bushes and her violet eyes watched me went home. 'He's already showing his inner dragon and his dragonic half was created so quickly. He is truly special. I can't wait until you are between my arms, my soon-to-be hatchling. You will finally be loved and be happy in your new life.' the dragon thought to herself and took off towards the nest.'
