"TADAIMAAA!!!!*" I yelled, throwing my backpack to the shelves beside the door as i close it shut.

"Welcome home!" Mom chirped, poking her head out from the kitchen.

I strided towards her, shoving my hands into my hoodies's pockets, heading towards the wooden cabinets.

"Dragon hunting day is coming up!" She spoke up, not looking up from her brewing cauldron on the kitchen stove.

I paused mid-air from getting more cookies in the jar above the cabinet.

"FhUWaTh?!!" I yelled through mouth full of chocolate chip cookies, muffled.

"Don't talk with your mouth full."

I grabbed myself a glass of water and downed it all,-with the cookies, in one go.

"What?!!"

"Next week on Tuesday."

"But i have a soccer try out on next Tuesday!!"

She sighed and turned at me.

"Either that, or you'll wait for another 3 years to hunt your first dragon."

I sulked, taking a bite on the cookies one last time before stomping off to my room upstairs.

Not letting me play soccer is like.. not letting me to breath! I know i'm overreacting but still!

"Can you believe it Scarlet?!! I mean, why can't the dragons come next week or anydays but next Tuesday?!!" I rambled to my cat, who only meowed in response before continue to lick her paws.

"Anyways," i turned towards the window and pointed my index finger on it, chanting a spell.

"Invellion Scru!"

Instantly, an invisible wall,-with the exception if you're a magical being you'll see it as a transparent blue wall, covered the window from the outside.

You see, i just put on a spell that'll make people that sees my window thought no one was inside. It comes in handy to stay away from wierd stalkers sometimes. Well, exception again, if the stalker is a magical being.

"Converto." I muttered, writing a simple rune in the air, making a thick leather-cover book flew towards me.

...and hit my nose.

"Ow! Hwath da fheck?!" I groaned, rubbing my sore nose from the impact.

Out of the corner of my eye, i saw Scarlet stood above my desk, watching me with a 'done' expression.

'You can fight a Jabberwocky and use advanced gray spells, yet you failed at basic spells..'

"Not my fault that basic spells are too boring to memorize!" I shot back, still rubbing my nose whilst my hand reaching out to grab my spell book.

"Why do i have to have a phsycic friend who enters mine and my cat's mind whenever he likes?"

'Because apparently your social life sucks so i'm your only friend who also do witchery.'

"Gee, thanks for the compliment Don." I said sarcasticcly, rolling my eyes as i flipped through the thousands of yellowing pages of the spell book.

I stopped when at one chapter with a nice Northern-dragon sketch on the cover. With a big bold ink, the title says; 'Dragon Hunting.'

Here goes nothing.

Dragon Hunting

The Dragon Hunting date is counted by the Star Calender. It happens once every 3 years. Usually, the spot is New York City's area, whereas it's closer to Glowseed's portal.

I skipped few parts here and there, jotting few important ones down on a simple notebook.

The notebook was armed with a protection charm, so no one could read it except me who knows the Avan. Avan is some kind of password we have to say to go through witches' private stuff. No one has the same Avan code, obviously. If you're not a witch,-or apparently don't know the Avan code-, you'd only see mine as a notebook filled with physhics formulas.

And yeah, i did say that i wouldn't like to have my soccer try-out post-poned but hey. Dragon Hunting is only once every 3 years, a rare important occasion since witches, wizards' lifes aren't exactly easy. Only lucky ones could reach the age 30s or 40s unscathed.

...Okay, that may sounded bad.

Anyways, Dragon Hunting is kind of an important event. It's when.. like.. a way to show that witches or wizards have come to mature age. Growing up.

It's when we first hunt a dragon. Why dragons? Dragons are the most vital animal in all witchery and wizardry world. Without them, there would be no magic. And since every single part of their body are very usefull, so yeah. Instant need.

'I heard this years' Hunting would ended up bad.'

I snorted, not looking up from my book.

"Who told you that?"

'You know what i mean.' Scarlet,-err Donnie now-, glared at me. Nose twitching in irritation.

"The fact that you're a phsycic AND a Helian? Yes, i remember."

Helian is a calender marker. They uses stars' and planets' alignments to chart Star Calender, or more known as Witch and Wizard's Calender. Helian is basiccly like a.. fortune-teller that can see the future sometimes, if Mother allowed them to.

'You can wait a bit longer. I've seen the next one is more promising.'

"And leave this chance when i can still have it? Heck no."

'Leo please.'

I sighed and turned around to him.

"This is my only chance Donnie. Glowseed isn't exactly at best shape this century, and who else is going to protect it but it's own Guardian? I can't do this anymore if next time i happened to stay in the coma longer. I have to go now."

I heard him sighed in defeat.

'Fine..Just don't.. hurt yourself.. like when..' he paused, letting myself remember what had happen long time ago.

"I know.." i mumbled, turning my full attention at the research i have to do instead.

I know full well how i died, Donnie..

'I'm sorry..'
