Oh well. Enjoy the goodies and enjoy the new addition to the story!
I'm taking a vacation from Tuesday, 8/30 to Sunday, 9/4. I won't be able to update during that time, so you'll just have to "bear" with me.
Chap 18
After Kaleb and Jake helped calm Stacy down and transform back into her human self, Grandpa explained Stacy's situation.
"It appears that you are a 'magical' shapeshifter," Grandpa answered.
"Isn't that redundant?" Kaleb asked. Grandpa glared at him before continuing.
"Actually, it isn't. A normal shapeshifter can only change their form to normal animal shapes; a normal human really being just another 'animal'. A 'magical' shapeshifter can transform into any shape and use their abilities," Grandpa replied.
"So, what Stacy…," Kaleb began, "What Stacy and I are really is just some shapeshifters? I'm not even a dragon?"
"'MAGICAL' shapeshifters! And, mostly likely, yes. That is the most probable cause of all this trouble we've been having." Grandpa concluded.
Jake's mouth dropped open, closed, and then opened to speak, "G, how do we even know if they're shapeshifters; let alone how would we be able to help them train their powers?"
"Young dragon, please, DO NOT QUESTION YOUR DRAGON MASTER!" Grandpa stated. Jake backed down, and Grandpa continued his examination of Stacy and Kaleb. Unfortunately for them, Kaleb kept feeling uneasy about the whole thing, and when Grandpa asked them to transform into dragons, again, Kaleb's unease increased.
Of course, no one had seen Stacy's dragon form and so were taken aback when she "dragoned up." Like her dog form, her dragon scales were purple, but her stature was pretty small; mostly because she was still growing. However, she had a long snout, green eyes (like Lilo & Stitch 2, when Stitch is glitching), small wings that could still help her fly, and a longer, more whiplike tail than her brother's. Still, once she grew some more, she'd give some 'beautiful' dragons a run for their money.
"How do I look?" Stacy asked pleasantly. She always wanted to be pretty; being that way as a dragon seemed to increase that desire.
"Fine," Grandpa answered. He gave a silencing look at Jake, who was about to say something more to her. He hadn't seen many female dragons (except for Dragon Summit, but they were only there for such a short time!) and, if it wasn't for Grandpa, he wouldn't have remembered how young Stacy was. "Now, Kaleb, think of another form…"
"Like a cat?" Kaleb asked. Immediately, there were two humans, a dragon, and one cat on the rooftop.
"Well," Grandpa replied. "This proves it. You are both 'magical' shapeshifters. Now, you both had best get to bed. We'll start training for all three of you tomorrow."
"TOMORROW?" Kaleb, Stacy, and Jake yelled. Crows all around flew all over the place. Then, everyone else on the roof looked over at Kaleb the cat.
"You can talk in that form?" Grandpa asked.
"Apparently," Kaleb answered. "So, why tomorrow?"
"Because," Grandpa replied, "Your powers and your sister's powers are too easily controlled by your emotions. You need to be able to control your powers better. That is why I have training tomorrow. Now, to bed. All three of you."
Groaning, the three students transformed into dragons and flew to their respective rooms. Nodding curtly, Grandpa transformed himself and flew to the shop to get some sleep himself and to send a letter to the dragon council about the night's events.
I'm pretty sure they are not going to be…uh…thrilled about this. He thought.
I think I might end the story here. If anyone thinks I should end the story here and start a sequel, please review and say so! If I should continue, review and say so! (By the way, sorry about the short chapter)
