Ch. 12 Her past
Every one listened carefully as Alex told them her past. How she got her other half, but she first explained that she never knew that her dragon half was involved with Sumerians'. (P.S. Sumerians' are what, the ultimate cryptid Kur, is related to.) She never really knew until they discovered it on the Kur stone. After that she began to tell the story of her past.
"I was born in a town that looked for guidance, wisdom, and good fortune from our dragon god, and he gained much love and respect from my people. A giant statue of him stood in the center of our city; it was carved from stone by the very first man of my people that colonized the land as our home. He created it because he saw visions of the dragon god giving us the guidance and wisdom that we needed. We all looked to him for what he would give next. Then one night, he had a new vision, a vision of the dragon god choosing a human host for his sprit. In other words a human from our city would be chosen to become reincarnated with the dragon god. That's when he created a prophecy on the statue that read"
"A chosen human would become our savior, become our hero, become our dragon god." He believed that this would happen in front of the statue. Many have tried to see if they were the one the city waited for, but none have prevailed. Many had begun to lose hope that this human would ever come. Yet many people were filled with joy as new pair of parents were on the way. That's when I came. The day I was born I very sick and very weak, most babies usually cry when their born, but my eyes were closed as if I were asleep. Every one of the best doctors and healers tried everything they thought would help, but nothing worked. They knew I was going to die. Soon everyone in the city prayed as hard as they could, esp. my parents. They all begged with our dragon god to let me live, that night they took me to the statue and waited, with the rest of my people behind them all the way. Then suddenly ice-cold winds picked up around every one, it even started to feel like hail was coming down."
"The earth began to shake for a moment. Dark clouds with lightning bolts were striking around the city came. Then the four torches that were lit had heat that was so intense that people began to sweat. That's when a bolt of lightning struck me, and dark shadowy like figure flew down through the lightning bolt and entered my body. When it was all over the sky became clear and I covered with left over electricity, my parents walked towards me, they watched as my light brown hair turned pitch black. I opened my eyes and began to cry. Everyone was cheering with joy and celebrated, as they knew I would live. Then the man that told us of the vision he had of someone that would inherited the power of their dragon god, had told us that the wait was finally over, that I was the one that they waited for so long. Soon after they all praised me like they did in front of the statue. And that's how it happened, unfortunately my dragon half is the very reason why my home and my parents are gone. While still a young child, the night my home was destroyed was the day I went through my first transformation into my other half. The more I grow, the more my other half becomes unstable and strong. It's also the reason why that other city you found me in was up in flames. I did destroy it; my power just tends to get away from sometimes when I become angry. I just wish I could find a way to get it under control." Alex said
Every one stood speech less at her story and did not know what to say. Even Argost was both surprised and intrigued by her story, but more interested in seeing her dragon form.
