Chapter 1
Into the Dragons Lair

Mrs. Carson looked up when her secretary opened the door.

“Mrs. Carson, the Student that is planned for the 12 o'clock appointment Lille Skygge has just arrived, shall I send her in?”

“Yes Elaine I think this will take some time, it would be good to start as early as possible.”

“Mrs. Carson is going to see you now would you please enter Lille?”

“Thanks, Claire.” a young girl answered.

The girl that entered the office was a beauty, she had a black short hair made into a somewhat asymmetric crop that made her heart shaped face even more noticeable. She had a small upturned nose that gave he a cute child look, and her thin eyebrows looked as if they had just been plucked and followed the slight curve of her big eyes that were looking as if they were on fire perfectly.
The eyes were really strange, they were big and round not shaped like most humans just plain round. They didn't had a pupil and the color seemed to move between red yellow and orange and she was sure that in the dark they would light the room. Her lips were full and red and looked far too inviting for a girl at her age, and her chin was small and petite rounding up the heart shape of her face.

“Hello young one, you must be Lille Skygge?” Mrs. Carson asked.

“Yes Mam.”

“Don't be afraid dear I won't bite, please take a seat. Oh and call me Mrs. Carson.”

The girl smiled shyly, “Thank you Mrs. Carson.” she said and set down in one of the chairs in front of the desk.

“Your welcome! There are some things we need to address today, things like if you are a potential threat to my student's or the staff taking care of them, then there is the little thing with your change of appearance that happened to you.”

The girl looked concerned on the last part but didn't say anything.

“Don't worry you wouldn't be the only one with that kind of problem dear. There are other things that might still be of concern but for now I would like to hear what you have lived through so far.
I was told you are born in Germany, you seem to be able to get around with your English?”

“Yes Mrs. Carson I can't really explain why but since my change I'm pretty much able to instantly understand how a language works and can speak it without much thinking, including all the accents that might come with it.”

“That is quite the feat, it isn't mentioned in your MID, but they mentioned you have an amazing memory.”

“Well yeah I just learned that on my way here, when I sat next to a french businessmen, he had a phone talk and I could understand everything even though I never learned it, same with a Spanish couple on the plane and English once I landed at Berlin Airport.”

“So how will you get around the guardian thing? All pupils at this school need to have an guardian of legal age, and there is the monthly fee that need to be provided as you haven't got a scholarship.”

“Well I would like to let this things be explained by my, hmm father isn't really correct probably older brother even though that's only a very human way of seeing that relationship.”

“Your brother?”

“If you don't mind? I can call him over.”

“Yes please.”

The shadows in the room that had been thrown by the ceiling lights suddenly started to flow together and formed themselves into a man looking as if he was around in his late twenties.
He had Black hair shoulder length and a three days not shaved look for a beard. His Eyes looked the same way as Lille's and he had kind an aura around him that made Mrs. Carson feel like she was a child again.

“Lille if you would excuse us for a moment? The man asked.”

“Sure” she said and suddenly her body broke into shadows and revealed a black red pointed egg the size of a melon. Mrs. Carson looked surprised at the big black red pointed egg that was now in the chair.

“What is that, I was told she turned into something like a dragon but she hasn't hatched?”

“Good day Mrs. Carson,” he shook her hand. “My name is Black Shadow, but you can call me the ancient one I'm at fault for Lille's change if you would like to call it so. Of course we made the pact in mutual agreement, but since I'm, I'll cover the expenses I think I would be okay to pay you in diamonds or a like, since I would rather not pay you in gold. As you noticed she hasn't hatched yet but it shouldn't be too long now.”

“You want to pay in diamonds?”

“Yes during the last few hundred thousand years I got quite hold of a lot of them. I like their look so I decided to keep them but they aren't singing in the same way gold does.”

“Singing?”

“Yes Mrs. Carson I understand this might me a little too much information but indeed as dragon we listen to the sound of gold, It is the one most beautiful thing we can hear, as is reverberate through our very being. I would also like to be her guardian I don't think you would mind that?”

“Well I think I can live with that, how can I contact you if something would happen to your, a sister right?”

“Oh don't worry I feel everything that's going on at the campus should the need arise I will be here, probably not in my real form as that would give to much of a commotion for your school, I think you would like to avoid that? I would since I don't think they need an volcanic eruption in Germany right now.”

“That kinda raises the question I know dragon grow big, how huge are you?”
“Hmm good question I have been asleep the last 20,000 years so I might have grown a few feet, but considering this building I wouldn't fit in if it was just the outer walls and the ceiling.”

“Okay so how big is Lille going to be?”

“Oh she hasn't hatched yet about 14 inch in height and max 8 inches wide in her egg as you can see for yourself.” He gestured at the egg sitting next to him in the chair. “And probably after hatching about 16 inches in body and 8 inches tail 24 inches long and sitting on her back paws about 14 inches in height.”

“That shouldn't be a problem how about her growing?”

“Well by the end of a year she should be about 6 feet long and 4 feet high. At the end of her second year she wouldn't fit into this room in her true form. Once she reaches about 50 feet her growing should start to slow down a little bit and she need less food, but don't worry about that we hunt for ourselves when in our true body we can't eat made up meals.”

“So she needs to hunt and a clearance for the woods around campus?”

“She would need that not at first but later yeah she will probably take care of any rat problems you might have once she's hatched and can take the rest in her human form, but about 3 month later she will definitely have to hunt deer, and alike in the woods.”

“What about the grove?”

“I wouldn't worry about that, there isn't anything nature had brought that wasn't friendly with us except maybe dwarfs due to their bad habit of stealing our gold.”

“Okay that should be all I want to hear what has happened so far now.” Mrs. Carson said.

The man sat himself next to Lille, looked at her and she turned back into her human form.

“Lille would you be so kind to tell what happened so far?” Mrs. Carson asked.

###

And so I began with my story. “Well I think I start at the beginning, as you know from the Students form my name was Siggi Kulmbacher, I was born at August 12th 1997 in Lückenbach Hospital the next hospital to my hometown old Lückenbach. It is in the Eifel an old volcanic area southwest of cologne. We have about 17 citizens well with me gone now 16, I had only one friend of similar age his name is Oliver and in December 2014 we were as usual wandering through the forests that are surrounding our home town. Oliver had found a cave a few days ago when he wandered around on his own while I had been visiting family over in Munich, and wanted to show me the cave.”

I sighed, “Well when we finally arrived at the cave Oliver teased me and said I wouldn't have the courage to explore it, I couldn't let that slide. I always had wanted to be an explorer and this was my chance to prove I had the necessary courage. So I walked into the cave armed with my flashlight that I always had with me for such a opportunity.”

Walking in the cave I thought, hah figured he wouldn't dare to follow me inside. I walked deeper into the cave and could here him yelling outside that he meant that as a joke and asked me to come back out. But I was far too interested to look how big this cave would turn out to be. From the way the rock was made I presumed it must be made from volcanic activities in the past, and it kept winding down more and more.

After following the cave for what felt like half an hour, Damn this cave is big! “whistling impressed” I reached a cavern it was full of stalagmites and stalactites and I carefully move around and underneath them so none would suddenly fall down and pin me on the ground. After I finally managed to get through the forest of stalactites I reached a crossing several path split themselves in different directions. Maybe I should return? From here on there isn't any way to get lost, but I haven't found anything yet, and if I walk just one way check it and turn back if I reach another crossing I'm still fine. So I went and took the third funnel from the right as it looked like it leads deeper into the mountain. I don't know how long I followed it but after a long time I reached another crossing. Curse my luck.

I decided it would be better to stick to my plan and turned around moving back the way I had been coming from. Or I thought I did because not to long later I was finding myself in yet another cavern. Shit I'm lost am I? Well this way looks like it leads up. And so I followed the funnel but after a while it started to turn down again. I was totally lost and this cave was far too big I could also feel that I started to get tired. I sat down a moment to collect my mind.

Well it didn't turn out to be a good decision since while I was sitting there listening to the sound of water dropping from the ceiling somewhere in the cave and trying to relax my flashlight started to dim. Shit it's running out of Juice already? I stood up my legs were shaking, Don't panic just don't. Well of course I couldn't keep my calm. I started to run through the labyrinth I had trapped myself in, the light was dimming more and I knew If it would get out I would have to wait till Oliver had brought a search and rescue squad.

I move left at the next crossing and suddenly I lost the ground under my feet, “ARRGHH” a scream escaped my mouth out of surprise as I felt my stomach making a jump, then I hit a wall that was leading straight down. Falling or more rolling down the volcanic funnel I only hit a few rocks that protruded into the funnel, until the funnel suddenly get wide and I fell the last few meters on another rock. “Uff” the air was pressed out of my lungs as I landed and started to slide down the rock I had landed on. Whoa that feels kinda warm and smooth to smooth and warm for a normal rock? I tried to hold myself on the rock but didn't get a good grab on the flat rock. I felt down at the side of it, Oh shit if I fell into lava I'm toast. And then I fell on some smaller rocks a few yards deeper.

The rocks started to flew away in different directions from me and I heard a really high pitched sound when the hit other rock. What is that? It doesn't sound like stone at all. “Ouch” I said opening my eyes that I had closed the moment I fell down the rock I couldn't see anything, damn where is my flashlight? My whole body was sore from the fall I started to check on myself and was happy that I hadn't broken anything. Having luck during a losing streak, yeah sounds just like me. Well there is now way I will find out of this hole now without any light. I leaned back on the rock behind me, and ran my hand on the ground. Again there was the high pitched sound of something falling down. I picked up a rock and was surprised that it felt kinda heavier than it should and by the form of it, it was nearly completely round and flat like a coin or so. I flipped it in my hand it fell down making another high pitched sound.

Then I suddenly could see again a red flickering shine like from a flame was starting to fill the cavern I was sitting in. Don't tell me lava is rising up now? I looked down and saw what I was sitting on, are these gold coins? I turned my head around to look what was making the light and looked at what I could only describe as a gigantic round flaming gate to hell. It was probably a good seven feet in diameter round circle white at the outside and burning in flames for the inner part. That can't be an eye! That's when I noticed it was an eye, the eye of a giant dragon that I had just woken up.

“Who dares to interrupt my slumber?” I heard words filling my mind they hadn't been said, it was more like I suddenly thought them while knowing they weren't my thoughts.

I gulped, “Awesome that is a real Dragon?” Shit I think I kinda pissed him off. I don't really know why I thought of the Dragon as a he but his thoughts kinda sounded, if you could tell that sound, male.

“A Human? What does one of your kind in my lair, you better don't think you can take away my gold!”

I looked around and noticed the the complete cavern was filled with all kind of gold and jewels, and on top of it was lying the biggest living creature I had ever heard of. The Dragon's head was easily the size of 3 school bus in length and 2 in width. The head was on a long flexible neck it was so long that the body of the Dragon wasn't even lighted by the fiery light the Dragon's eyes.

"Answer my question human. Why did you interrupt me in my slumber?" The thoughts of the Dragon filled my head again.

"I'm really sorry for disturbing your slumber mighty Dragon, It was an accident I was just exploring a cave above your lair. I got lost in it and when my flashlight was starting to die I kinda panicked and fell down a funnel leading into your lair. I really don't mean any harm to you."

"So you fell down into my lair by accident, I find that hard to believe, and calling me Mighty Dragon. Are you trying to flatter me mortal?"

"No, I just don't know how I should address a Dragon you are the first one I have ever met. May I ask for your name?"

Laughter filled my mind. "My name? I have been called by many names in the past. The Dwarfs used to call me 'The Dweller in the Dark' and in the war between the Dragons and the Sidhe way before the Sundering they called me 'The great winged Shadow' I prefer to keep it simple so just call me Black Shadow if you need a name. The real name of a Dragon is something your kind wouldn't understand. So what is your name little human?"

"Ohh yeah I'm Siggi Kulmbacher a pleasure to meet you Black Shadow."

"No that doesn't sound right." he moved his giant head closer to me and I felt a strange sensation as if he was examining more than only what I looked like. "Well that is interesting looks like I was to fast to call you a mere human."

"What are you talking about?" I questioned the Dragon that suddenly didn't felt threatening any longer.

"I will need to think about what you are for a while, in the meantime it might be best if you would return to the other humans they have already started to look for you and are gathering in front of the cave entrance you used to enter." Suddenly I knew where I was in the cave and how I could return to the lair without falling down through a funnel.

"This will help you to come back to me, I would like to meet you again little one."

"Oh yeah that would be nice so how can I get back to the surface before the other people get inside?"

"Don't worry I will send you there."

“Whoa thank you so much” I hugged him, at I would say his cheek even though it wasn't like a dragon had a cheek did he? Well I hugged him right underneath his eye.

The Dragon's head shuddered, “Uhh that feels good don't stop.”

I did as the dragon told me and kept hugging the sport under his eyes while carefully caressing it with my hands. Did I just hugged his sweet spot?

Chuckling in my mind. “You found one yeah.”

I felt my cheeks getting warm. I slowly move a little bit back and stopped the hugging.

“Ahh what a shame, no reason to be embarrassed.” The dragon told me.

“But you are a Male dragon.”

“We don't really care much about minor details, we kinda change them if needed but I haven't done so for a few hundred thousand years.”

Hundred thousand of years? “You're not looking anything like I would expect someone that old to look like.”

“I'm a Dragon. Don't think we would age the same way the mortals do” Smoke raised up from his nose.

Whoa he produces smoke when he gets angry? That's interesting. “I'm sorry well I better get going or someone will start to climb down this cave to look for me and we wouldn't want that would we?”

“You're a smart one I will bring you back to where you entered.”

And suddenly I stood in the cave near the entrance I had entered a few hours ago.

Looking at the caves entrance I could hear the voices of people talking. Damn Oliver, he had already contacted the locals and they were here to search for me just as Black Shadow had said. I walked out of the cave and stood saw my parents as well as several other people. "Ah Hi what are you all doing here?"

My mother looked perplexed then rushed towards me and hugged me as if she hadn't seen me for a decade "Siegfried you're alive we were so worried about you when Oli called." Mom was always this way, she wouldn't call me Siggi like everyone else, and she always presumed the worst had happened.

"Mom I'm fine, I lost my flash light though, that's why I needed a bit longer to get out of the cave."

Oliver move next to me and asked "Everything okay?"

"Oli you moron, why the hell did you call everyone I wasn't gone that long."

"You are the moron here, its already past 6 pm!"

“Everyone was happy I was back but of course I had to endure a lot of scolding from the adults, the usual things like how irresponsible it was of me entering the cave, yada yada you get the idea”.

Mrs. Carson interrupted my telling, "so you weren't mutated when you left the cave?"

"To be honest, I'm not sure that I'm a mutant at all.”

"What do you mean you don't think you're a mutant?"

"Exactly what I said, I was at the age of 17 I didn't have a burnout yet I'm age regressed in my human form, however this form," I gestured over my body. "isn't my actual body anymore."

Mrs. Carson looked at me kinda worried, "Lílle the first thing you should understand that this is what makes you a mutant."

"Excuse me please," Black Shadow interrupted, "Mrs. Carson you should listen to her, she has her point with her explanation. I can only advise that you should probably wait for her to continue the story before you make any hasty conclusions."

Mrs. Carson face showed clearly that she had trouble to believe I was right. "Okay Lille would you please continue, what happened after you were back?"

"Well of course I couldn't risk telling anyone that I had met with a real Dragon. I mean honestly who would believe me that there was a giant fire breathing reptile, sorry for that, sleeping under the inactive volcano near our little village. Obviously I couldn't sleep at all the first night, and it was the last day of school, before winter vacation started. After school I went to do some shopping I bought 2 new military type Mac-Light flashlights, and enough batteries for a few days."

"When I was back home again I told my parents that I was going to stay at a friends place for a few days starting tomorrow. I went to bed early and left the house after packing up some supplies and my sleeping bag that I normally used for camping with Oliver. Then I went into the woods to a cave entrance I remembered thanks to Black Shadows explanation and followed the cave into his lair."

"You're back a lot earlier then I would have expected little one." The Dragon's thoughts filled my mind.

Earlier than he had expected? Hey did I just manage to surprise a dragon? "Yeah if I hadn't needed some more supplies I would have probably come back yesterday, I can't really explain it but it feels right to be here."

"It feels right?"

"Yeah I don't know but I kinda like the idea of being near you it makes me feel at ease." Would he be annoyed if I would set myself next to his head? The fire in his Eyes would make it a lot easier to see in here.

"Makes you feel at ease that's really interesting, you're kind normally doesn't like to be so deep underneath the ground, and no it's okay your presence here doesn't bother me you can sit next to me."

My thoughts are like an open book to him, I would really have to work on that, "Yippieh” I moved up over the mountains of gold listening to the high pitched sound of gold coins, falling over others.

"If you think this sounds great you should definitely listen to the sound of gold the way a dragon does."

"Yeah maybe but that's not really possible" what a shame it must be a really a nice sound I thought.

The dragon must had noticed that I felt sad about that, as he moved his head close enough to touch me. His touch was really gentle, well for a dragon, for me it was like a giant black wall that suddenly moved slowly into me.

"Whoa hey big one, thanks I will won't start crying okay." whoa how caring of him that had been unexpected. I felt a strange sensation in my stomach that I couldn't really identify as I never had felt something similar before. I touched the dragons soft spot under his eye as I knew he would like that, and I wanted him to know that I also cared about him.

I looked at Mrs. Carson, "Well I don't want to get into much detail but a few hours later it got kinda late in due to the winter outside it got kinda cold so I slipped into my sleeping bag.

Wish I had had one with me that time I thought.

"You didn't complain though."

"hmmph we're dragons! We have no reason to care what a human thinks about us."

When I woke up in the morning next to the dragon, he started to teach me what it meant to be a dragon, I didn't wasted a thought why he did tell me all this.

"So you and the Dragon grew to be friends? within 3 days? I'm sorry to say that but it sounds totally unbelievable." Mrs. Carson said.

"hmmmphf" Black Shadow blew smoke out of his nose "I didn't thought it could happen so fast either, it was like realizing a soul mate on the first contact."

"Then she is an Avatar, I figured." Mrs. Carson nodded.

"You didn't figure at all, Mrs Carson I'm sorry please let me continue." I interrupted her.

“During my second night in the lair of the Dragon we came closer to each other, the Dragon used his wings to protect me from the wind that even managed to blew into the depths of the cavern, and his warm body heated from the flames resting within kept me warm. I can't really explain why I felt so much at comfort by his side by I knew I wanted to stay. So when the new morning arose and I woke up I dreaded the thought of leaving him.”

“What's wrong little one?” Black Shadows thoughts entered my mind

He cared so deeply for me a mere human being? How could I even hope he would understand, he was a dragon a true one born an eternity in the past. “I don't know I just don't feel like leaving but I have to my parents might figure out that I'm not at a friends place else.” Tears started to form in my eyes. I looked up to him, his beautiful and elegant build the embodiment of life, the mightiest creature that I could ever imagine to walk over the earth, and yet he was highly intelligent and caring for something that lived comparable long to him, than a mayfly next to me.

The dragon moved closer to me and pushed me with his giant head closer to his body, then he rolled his tail around me so I was surrounded by him completely. “You give yourself to less credit, I can't even remember how long ago I really cared for someone or something except of gold, you have a big heart and a soul worthy of being called a dragon.”

But I'm just a mere human. I thought in grief against the universe.

“My little one there are ways to change the universe it's what makes us dragons so special, I don't know how it works but dragons magic is kinda fundamentally different than normal magic, we don't cast spells it is more an intense feeling that emerges from within our essence.”

“I don't know much about magic.” I admitted.

“Let me just ask you this one question. Do you want to be a dragon?”

“Gulp” Did he just ask me what I thought he had asked me? How could I accept such a blessing I wasn't worthy, but I couldn't deny I wanted more than everything else live for an eternity with a dragon like him.

“That is all wanted to know.” He said and breathed at me.

“Mrs. Carson you need to understand that he hasn't put his essence in mine like a spirit that sticks to an avatar and he is still himself sleeping on his pile of gold in Germany. All he did was as his feeling told him and bathed me in dragon's magic. We don't know how it works and we can't command this level of magic by will or training, it just happens and it happens only rarely. In all his life he had only managed to work a spell of this level a few dozen times. The result however is never known before and when his breath had ended I was lying there in my egg.”

Mrs. Carson looked totally confused. “But how is it possible to speak with you if you haven't hatched yet, you have a body on your own right now.”

“As I said we don't really understand either. The best explanation I can give you is that I'm breeding my self new as a dragon.” I reached down and lifted my loose shirt and showed her my swollen belly clearly showing the form of the egg inside.

Mrs Carson looked at the girl's swollen Belly, But? What? How? That can't be possible she did just turn into an egg yet here she sits obviously looking like a mutant girl with a swollen belly and says she is breeding herself? “How can this be it doesn't sound logical at all.”

Black Shadow laughed, “As we told you we don't really understand what and how it happened, from the look so far it seems Lille had been turned female to hatch herself as her Dragon form then physical body you can see is an extension of her magic that she manipulates from within her egg when we came up with the idea that she should calm down her human parents.”

“But why would you want to calm them down when you are both Dragons? I always thought the short lived human world doesn't matter to you at all.” Mrs. Carson questioned.

“I think I can explain this, Mrs. Carson we don't forget anything we have ever seen, heard or smelled, we can always remember anything we have lived through, the only way to prevent that somehow is listen and losing yourself in the song of gold. As I used to be a human and have family spending my life for a few years with them so I don't have regrets about not doing so as well as trying to live at least my normal human lifespan as one, it's just a matter of time and we have enough of that.”

“Okay I see your point.” Mrs. Carson nodded. “So how do you came up with going to Whateley Academy then?”

“Okay let's get back to where we were, Black Shadow breathed his magic at me and it engulfed me, it was a really weird feeling like I was completely stripped down in front of him. My body broke down in itself and started to shift in form without causing any pain, and from one second to another I felt like I was being surrounded by some sort of warm liquid, and shortly after that I realized I couldn't really move any longer.”

Whats going on? I tried to move but the liquid I was in prevented me from doing so. Oh my god what is happening to me? I didn't know why but I managed to calm down rather quick. This doesn't feel bad, it's like I'm safe here but where am I?

“Little one?” a surprised thought from outside the shell I was in reached me. Oh that must be him the other Dragon, wait other Dragon? Yes of course we were alike. “WAIT what but I used to be human, but I'm not any longer. I'm a Dragon” I tried to move again but still couldn't “Brother?” I don't know why I thought of him that way but it was the way I was thinking of him.

“Little one? Is that you.”

“Yeah I think so, what's happening outside I can't see anything.”

“Oh yeah well you kinda turned into an egg, a Dragon egg.”

No wonder I couldn't move I was a baby Dragon still in my egg, wait a minute that means I had to be breed. “Okay yeah uhm who is going to breed me?”

As I thought about that I suddenly felt like pulling something towards me, I grabbed it and followed the strange sensation.

“I don't know I didn't expect anything like this to happen, wait what are you doing little one?”

following the sensation the touch of magic as I realized I created my old self around me. When I opened my eyes I could see again, no that was an inadequate description I could finally see for the first time. The Cavern was gigantic and the gold around us was singing the song of my brother.

“Hello brother I just figured it would be stupid to wait for something like a female Dragon to breed me in her flames to appear or wait thousand of years till the volcano got active again.”

Chuckling filled my mind, “Well sister you are even more impatient than me when I was in your age. Quite the trick you performed their.”

Sister? Oh yeah, I looked down at me and was back at myself, well mostly I was a lot smaller than before and I'm pregnant I realized when I looked at the swollen belly that I could see looking past my breasts. “I definitely need a mirror.” I'm pregnant? Did this mean I was breading myself? Well okay I could live with this better than waiting inside my egg for years.

“Trust me Lille Skygge your beautiful even in your disguise.”

“Lílle Skygge? Small shadow? You came up with a name this instant? Thanks brother, but I really need to see myself in this form, there might be the need for some adjustments.”

“Well I won't talk you out off this I can understand that feeling. Well you will be safe as long as you're still in your egg, so you should probably go back to your human parents for now, they are already worried since you're not back yet.”

“Yeah I figured, but I don't really feel like leaving you alone here.”

“Don't worry about that here is a present for you.”

Two gold bars lifted from the ground. “One is for you to hear your sound one is to remember me.”

I hugged him at his sweet spot. “Thank you so much dear brother.” A tear rolled down my cheek. “I will go then for now, we keep contact?”

“We will.”

I picked up my belongings and stored the two gold bars in my backpack, then I started to move out of the cave. I didn't needed my flashlights anymore as I could see in the dark and my eyes also lighted the way in the dark. About an hour later yes I kinda was faster and didn't get tired from walking I reached the village I used to live in.

I made some adjustments to my clothes with a thought so nobody would notice the changes immediately and walked in the village. The big neighbor dog that always used to bell when I walked past their ground looked at me came closer before starting to wince when he smelled me and moved back into his dog hut. I could get used to that I thought.

I reached my human parents home and used to the keys to let myself in. “I'M HOME.”
oh shit I didn't said that out loud.

“Siegfried nice that you're back did you miss the bus? I thought you would be back earlier.”

“Yes mom I had to walk they way over, but It was fine. I'm in my room I had lunch before I left.”

“Okay! I'll call when dinner is ready?”

“Thanks Mom.” I walked up the stairways and moved into my room. I packed away my stuff before heading towards the bathroom, our house was 2 stories high and I had like my own flat in the house except for a kitchen and dining room. Once in the bath I looked in the mirror. My face looked still a lot like my old me probably enough that nobody would notice the difference. Except for the light in my eyes, if I looked close enough I saw a fire burning in them it was small but it was there, and the shape of my eyes started to change to. Well nothing to worry I'm sure they won't notice yet.

I stripped out of my clothes and looked at my naked self in the mirror, That might be a problem. I was a complete girl down there and I had a belly like a woman in her fifth month of pregnancy I could probably hide it for a few days but, sooner or later they were bound to find out, also I had breast at least B-Cups and remembering how it was for most pregnant human I was sure even though it was just a disguise they would start to grow soon. The biggest change next to that was that I had lost at least an inch in height that wasn't to bad I had never been big to begin with. I had been roughly 5'8” and now I was roughly 5'7” no big deal.

Back in my room I made some more changes to my clothes so my parents wouldn't notice the changes and then I set myself on my bed and pulled out the two gold bars from my bag pack. I stuffed one away and hid it under a side panel I used as secret hiding spot for things like my porn magazines that I had pried loose a few years earlier. Then I set down and started to hum to gold bar in my hand. It didn't took me long to notice the changes the sound of the gold changed from my brother long and melodious sound to a short and fast rhythm, of course it resembled me and I was still young but hearing my own sound for the first time reflecting from the gold was something I would never forget.

Dinner was good, and my parents didn't notice the changes, I learned that I could eat a lot more then I was used to and my father was quite surprised by the amount of meat I was eating. I had to force myself to eat at least a few potatoes even though I felt like vomiting from the taste, luckily the didn't insist I had to eat salad.

“You're hungry son, the food can't be that bad in the city.”

“You would be surprised, homemade from mom always tastes best, and who knows maybe I'm finally starting to grow.” I couldn't let this joke sled by.

“Hmm I actually thought you had lost some height for a moment when you entered.” My mom said.

“Hah stop joking I'm not an old man.”

Except for this little part the dinner went in silent. After we finished I excused myself and went back into my area of the house. I lied down on my bed pulled out my gold bar listed to it's sound and started to sleep.

When I woke up the next morning I heard someone moving into my room. “Siggi? Where are you?” A few second later after my human father had moved closer, “What is this?” He lifted me up, “feels to light to be a stone, I heard him knocking hmm sound hollow could it be an egg? I never heard of anything having eggs of this size maybe a dinosaur, but it doesn't look like it's fossilized?” Oh shit I turned back into an egg and dad found me. “What do we have here, Oh my god is that gold?”

No how worse could the day start. “Brother” I called for Black Shadow, “My human parents have seen me as egg and my gold what should I do?”

“Why don't you try to explain them if it won't work I will visit in disguise.”

“SIGGI! We need to have a talk now!” My father yelled through the house. How could this be I haven't raised my son to steal, I don't know where he could get the dinosaur egg and the gold bar else.

Oh shit my father thought I did steal. “Dad please don't be afraid.”

“Siggi where are you?” my father move around holding me still in his hand.

“Dad you're holding me in your hands.”

“Siggi what are you talking about show yourself.” "Wait a minute did I actually hear anything?"

“No dad you didn't hear anything I'm talking telepathic to your mind”

What is he thinking playing stupid jokes on me I'm just going to threw this stuff away.

“NO DAD PLEASE” I was panicking

Luckily he seemed to realize I was afraid.

Huh did that scare him, “Son I want to talk with you.”

“Yeah we need to but I can't change while you're holding me in your hand.” or rather I didn't dare to try who knows what would happen his hand might be stuck in my chest if I would try that.

My dad was standing still, what is he, he can't be thinking he is in the egg, the gold?

“Dad its me I'm inside the egg I will explain it to you please just lay me on the bed.”

Well my dad didn't did that he dropped me in shock and I fell on the floor. Well good thing is Dragon eggs are though I didn't get hurt nor did the egg get damaged. I rolled inside the egg a few feet away from my dad and decided I didn't have a choice.

I pulled the magic together and started to form my disguise. When I was finished a few second later and looked to my father he was looking at me with his jaw hanging down literally next to his feet.

“Dad.” I tried to comfort him.

“Who are you?” he asked me.

“I'm Siegfried, your son or rather your daughter now.

“Daughter?”

“Dad I know it's a lot but please try to calm down.”

“But you're pregnant?”

“That's complicated please sit down dad.”

He couldn't resist my suggestion and nearly fell down on my bad. “My son turned into a girl and now he is pregnant? I think I'm dreaming.”

I moved over to him and grabbed his shoulder so he could see in my eyes. “Dad I said you remember when I went into the cave a few days ago?”

“Yes.”

“I didn't get lost in there I kinda stumbled on something.”

“You mean the gold bar?”

“Yes that also but no I stumbled or better fell on a Dragon.”

“A Dragon?”

“Yes can you believe it a real Dragon, well somehow we managed to get friends and well when I said I was going to a friend in the city I was lying I went back to the caverns to speak with him.”

“You stayed 3 days in a cave with a Dragon? WHO THE HELL ARE YOU! AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY SON? ARE YOU INSANE!”

I winced and turned back into my egg. I felt like crying my dad didn't even recognized me. I was hurt a lot. Yet I could understand his reaction, how could I even think he would understand, I mean until yesterday I wouldn't have believed such a thing to be possible. Of course I had always dreamed of being a Dragon the stories I heard as kid and the books I had read everything told how great they were. Now I was one myself and the first thing I managed to do was destroying my family.

Mrs. Carson interrupted me again, “This sound like it was rough on you and your parents, how are they dealing with it?”

“Hmm Better than I thought they would at first, It is still kinda lot for them, I mean having your son turn into a Dragon that likes to spend his times lying in caves on his collected gold and listening to it. Well I think they got the idea with the gold. However when they realized that I was possibly going to live forever and they would never have human grandchildren, I think that was what hurt them most.”

“Well your Mom kinda got over the first parts with ease once she accepted that it was still you.”
Black Shadow remembered me.

“Oh yes Mom was a big help in comforting dad.”

“When I woke up and had stopped pitying myself in my egg I realized I wasn't any longer in my room. I was lying on the living room table and dad, mom and Black Shadow were sitting in a circle around me. He explained them what had happened and told them he was sorry but as Dragons we can't control our highest form of magic and act without thinking when the magic builds itself up. My mother was in tears and asked if it was still me inside the egg, and he explained that It was still me my human self in there but of course I wasn't seeing myself as a human anymore he explained this quite well the difference in our look of time and that we both had come to the conclusion that not only for my human parents but for myself it was for the best to stay with the family as long as possible since I would never be able to forget and forgive myself if I wouldn't try. Hearing that my mother picked me up and took me in her lap where she hugged me.

“Sniff hello mom”

"Siegfried?"

“Yes its me but I don't think Siegfried will work any longer you know he used to slay a Dragon.”

“Oh my dear are you alright?” it's him I can't believe it he hasn't changed still making his book quotes.

“Yes mom I'll manage somehow I'm more worried about you and dad, and hey these books are great.”

“Relieved Laughter filled my mind, I'm so happy for you, I always knew you had been dreaming about this since I had let you read the first book over Dragons. I'm just not sure how to deal with that I mean you changed? Dad said you were a girl and pregnant, you didn't do anything stupid did you?”

“Urgh MOM! I don't think I would be ready for something like that, The pregnant part well it's not really pregnant I'm just breeding myself you know when the magic was finished and I turned into a Dragon I wasn't hatched. To hatch as a Dragon we need to be at warm places either in the flame of a female Dragon that took care of that or in an active volcano, I hadn't either of that but I knew I couldn't just wait for a few thousand years to pass till something like this was going to happen so I decided to make a move on my own. Well about me being a girl now it happens to be that we Dragon don't really care much about genders so I kinda changed myself to meet the necessary requirements.”

“You're unbelievable, you're even shorter on your patience than your father.”

“Haha brother said the same about himself when he was my age, well might be the human part from my past in me that makes me this way.”

“So you don't think of yourself as human anymore?”

I could feel her sorrow about that, “Mom you need to understand I still think of you and dad as my parents you are the one that gave life to me, but now? As it turns out I was meant to be a Dragon or the magic hadn't been possible to happen, the change really changed my look at certain things I'm still aware that I'm only 17 years old but I know that if I don't die in my younger years I'm going to live pretty much till the end of all. That's kinda forces you change your mind on many things, for now I just want to be close to you.”

“I love you my daughter.”

“Mom please call me Lílle Skygge that is Danish and means Little Shadow”

“Lille? I think I can live with that.”

“Would you please let me on the ground so I can change to my human form?”

“Sure daughter.”

After she had lay me down on the floor I changed into my female human appearance and both my dad and mother took a deep breath.

“Sigh, I know this is kinda shock for you both, but I'm going to change a lot more in the next few month then just my gender or my look.”

I moved next to my brother and sad down giving him a smile, “Brother.”

“Sister,” he smiled back.

My father leaned back, “So you are a mutant now?”

I thought about that for a moment, “No dad it's not that easy, you see Dragons are born other than most beings. We are magical by nature and our souls can manifest in various forms, I just happened to be born as your son. It could have happened that I had turned into a Dragon on my own sometime in the future but that is highly unlikely, it had only happened a few dozen times over all time. The magic that was cast on me just triggered this awakening. So no I'm not like one of those mutants the MCO is looking for but a real Dragon.”

Father looked at me skeptically “I'm not sure they will buy that if you would tell them this.”

“Yeah I thought so too.” I admitted.

“Well you shouldn't worry Sister as long as you're in you're egg they won't be able to harm you and should they try to hold you prisoner, well I don't think they have any way of stopping me roasting them all.”

“Thanks brother.” I hugged him.

“There is another thing that bothers me.” My father said, “You haven't finished your education yet, but even considering the somewhat friendly level to mutants we have here the extreme conservative part of our politicians started to raise commotions about people that are different again. This fear turns to anger as you are aware and most probably it is going on against mutants. I don't think it would be a good idea to go to school in Germany while this powder keg is starting to boil.”

“I might have a solution for that!” My brother said.

Everyone including me looked interested.

“I know of a private school in America, yes I'm aware that mutants aren't really treated good there but this School is on neutral grounds in an Native American reservoir, It is called Whateley Academy and is a school for young mutants to get used to their powers. I think it would be a great way for Lílle to get to know some friends.”

“America? I'm not so sure that this would work so well, Lílle isn't exactly the best English speaking person as far as I knew.” my mother said.

“Darling I'm sure she can learn that in time before the school start's a quick course should help her a lot.”

“You may be right with that, but America is so far away.”

“It is only for her best.” dad said.

“Well if you think it's a good idea.”

“Hey don't I got to say anything regarding that?” I interrupted.

“What you? You aren't even hatched yet so please be quiet.” my mother said.

“This is ridiculous I'm already getting sick of this.”

“Hey they mean only the best for you and I really thinking you should consider this.”

“They treat me like a baby.”

“Well you are.”

“Yeah but I was already 17 years old before I turned into one.”

“17? can't say I don't understand them then. You wouldn't have hatched as a Dragon till your 18 birthday anyway.”

“What I stay in my egg for another half year?”

“Most likely”

Brother interrupted my parents, “I think you shouldn't worry about the language barrier, we Dragons are quite fast learners when it comes to languages.”

“You see Darling we don't need to worry about that.” my father said.

“Fine I give up. Doesn't mean I like it though!”

Father looked rather pleased with himself, “So Lílle any idea when you might hatch?”

“Hmm apparently not before I turned 18 so in probably not before August 12th I think.”

“Okay that means we have more then enough time to make sure you can get enrolled there next year, now we need to make sure you get your MID before then so you won't get bothered by some random MCO guys passing town for your unusual appearance.”

“Yes dad.”

“Also I want to speak about these gold bar I found in your room. Where did you get that.”

“It was a present. It is mine!” You better don't think you can take that away from me human.

From what I could see, my father had got what I meant as he went pale when he looked at me.
“You're eyes the just flickered like burning coals.”

“If I may interrupt again,” brother said, “The two gold bars are a present from me and are out of my lair, the reason she is defending them is our unique connection to gold. I can only advise you to give it back to her, she might get really angry with you if you think about selling it.”

“Angry? Could you explain this please?”

“Dad there had been cities burned for less than a gold bar in ancient times.”

“Yeah,” brother started chuckling, “I remember being in war with the dwarfs for a few thousand years after one of them stumbled upon my lair, he didn't even steal anything, but well he was a dwarf I couldn't risk him telling the rest or I had to deal with hundreds of this little midgets. And for my defense how should I have known he was the heir of their kingdom.”

“You started a war because someone entered your lair?” father looked rather concerned.

“Dad it was a dwarf, they would have gone for the gold anyway once they knew where it was, it is a problem between our races since we met the first time.”

“Lílle how do you know that?” my father asked.

“Oh I don't really know, it's like I have seen this happen before.”

“What do you mean seen it happen before? You just turned into a dragon, how could you possibly know something like that?”

Brother chuckled, “That, is probably her Dragons memory, some events in the past have left a mark in our species, the wars with the dwarfs were one of this occasions, so she can pretty much remember everything like she was there.”

“Okay I won't ask anymore, here take it.” he gave me the gold bar.

I must have smiled like a little child. Since my Mother hugged me, “Oh how adorable you look when you're happy.”

I looked outside it was already getting dark, “so about this MCO business and my MID. When can we get done with that.”

“Well If I remembered right they are even opened during the holidays, pretty much twenty-four seven at least in Cologne.” My father said.

“Yeah I just checked that they are still there and it looks like they will be free in a hour or so. It looks like they are power testing someone at the moment.” My brother said.

“Wait a minute how can you know that?” My mother asked.

“Oh, that it's just one of the Dragon ways to keep in touch with the world, we tend to sleep quite long so we kinda dream what is happening outside of our lairs. We can pretty much notice everything that is happening on the planet, if we know where we have to look, it takes a lot of time to learn how to do it though.”

“You're sleeping right now? Okay enough of this why don't we have dinner and you two get this done then?”

“No objections” brother and I said as if we were twins.

The Dinner was good though I pretty much only eat meat, brother didn't eat at all since he wasn't really there with us. He explained them pretty much everything about me growing and that we were able to shift our bodies though they would always look somewhat like a Dragon, that means somewhat pointy ears and the burning fire that could be seen through our eyes. He then explained that while we were pretty much invulnerable when still in our eggs we were extremely vulnerable the first years after hatching, as our scales needed time to harden after hatching we would grow about 4 times our size a year until we reached about 27 yards with our main body. After that the growth speed would start to slow down since there wouldn't be any natural enemies left. A while after that our need for food would also reduce, he then explained the last time he was hunting was about 20,000 years ago before he went to his slumber and he didn't really felt hungry yet.

It was most interesting for my parents as I already knew a lot of this from my 3 day long talk with him and due to some memories I shared as a Dragon with my species. It was still strange that I didn't really saw myself as a human at all, since I only had been a Dragon or rather a Dragon in his egg for a few days. But I knew it wouldn't change who I was just the way I would look at certain things like time or the life of mortals.

After lunch finished brother and me said goodbye. I had decided that why I would stay my day time mostly with my parents, there weren't any benefits to stay at night when they had to sleep. It isn't that we wouldn't sleep but when a Dragon sleeps he does this for centuries. Since I was young I wouldn't sleep for a long time, probably not till I felt I was safe from external threads.

My brother then said to me we would need to make a quick visit before heading off to the MCO, so I turned into my egg. Brother moves us with his magic and I realized we had left the old continent, I knew my brother had covered my egg from outside looks in some kind of blanket, and was holding my like a baby in his left arm.

I noticed he was moving in some kind of room in which powerful magic was all around us. He moved closer to a Sidhe girl.

“Hello Nikki Riley Daughter of the Burning Oak, Paramount Queen of the West in the Five-Fold Court, Patron of the Wolf Folk and their kin, Eight Queen of the West, I'm here today to ask you for your blessing over on of my kin the first to be born after the sundering.”

A young Sidhe girl an absolutely stunning beauty turned around, she looked at my brother, and then at me. “Can this be after all this time?” she moved closer and I felt that brother moved the blanket from me, “An ancient Dragon is going to be born?”

She lifted me out of the blanket and held my up high in the air, “Hello young one, By the name of Nikki Riley Queen of the West I bless you and wish you all the best for your future.” Then she kissed my shell.

“Thank you Nikki Riley Queen of the West, may your kin get strong again as it was before the inevitable happened.”

She gave me back to my brother who packed my back into the blanket. “You can't imagine how happy I'm for you I never had expected to do this ritual ever again, It must be a sign the birth of an ancient Dragon is too unlikely given the weakened essence of the world, to be just a coincidence.”

“You're a lot wiser than your age would let one think, young queen. If anything happens call for me.” he handed her a small gold coin.

Her eyes widened, “Thank you.”

“If you'll excuse us then, we have another appointment.” Brother said and moved us again.

Chapter 3

MCO and Testing an egg?

Mrs. Carson looked at the pair that was telling this incredible story, “You two met Nikki Riley?”

“Yes we did.” told Black Shadow, “actually that was the reason why I decided this Academy would be the right place for Lílle she is precious to me and our kin, and if the the Queen of the West goes to this school it is only fitting that a child of the North is entering it too.”

Mrs. Carson didn't looked pleased to hear that. “Is that your only reason for sending her here?”

“No but it was the part that made the decision easier, as you know there are schools for mutants in other parts of the world, however your school is one of the few that wouldn't try to influence your student's or use them for your own benefit. Also I think, she will need as many friends that might be able to help her than she can get. There will be many parties interested in getting her power to use her for their benefit.”

“That sounds like it will be dangerous to have her here.”

“You have the Star Stalker as well as the Queen of the West and a part Goo part Lust demon here. I don't think the danger is any higher than having one of those here.”

“What do you think?” she asked me.

“Mrs. Carson, I don't know it is all new to me, I turned into a dragon, a girl and I had never heard of this Academy before brother told me about it. For now I'm still not hatched that Is going to change soon then I will need all the protection I can get. Of course I would love to be with my brother and my family, but my brother is right I need friends and I can't risk to live in Germany. I don't want to put my family in possible danger when someone tries to get hold of me. I also don't want to be tricked into helping some bad guys, that however would most likely happen If I would enter a non neutral school.”

“Do you have a rough idea when you might hatch?”

“Probably shortly after midnight but I can't say for sure yet.”

“But that would be in about 4 hours I need to make some preparations so you can hatch in a safe area also I'm pretty sure a lot of the Academy's staff would like to see the first Dragon hatching on school grounds, if this is okay with you two?”

“Yeah sure go ahead.”

After Mrs. Carson had made some calls she leaned back. “Okay that's done would you please continue? I think you was going to met the MCO?”

“Oh yeah that is right. Brother moved us and we appeared in the office of the MCO the same moment as a Lighting bolt struck down and covered the dark room in light. It was dark outside and the ceiling lights in the office were still dimmed, it must have been around 18 o'clock.”

The MCO officer sitting behind his desk nearly felt out of his chair when we appeared. Brother moved slowly in front of the desk.

“Hello young human, I would like to register one of my kin at your place so she won't get into trouble later.”

“Who are you!” the officer was completely shocked.

“Oh I'm sorry young one I forgot my manners, please call me Black Shadow.”

“So you want to get registered as mutant?”

“No you got that wrong, there is no need for me to do that. It is for our newest member of the family.” He opened up the blanket and presented me to the eyes of the officer.

“What is that?”

“Oh this is Little-shadow my little sister.”

“She is an egg?”

“Oh no she just hasn't reached her age to hatch yet.”

"So what is she a dinosaur mutant?" the officer asked.

"Not exactly close. She is a dragon."

"And you are going to tell me you are one too? stop shitting me!"

"Mortal don't try your game with me I was born before you species even had left the the stadium of a single cell." Brothers eyes started to glow with his inner fire and the room went bright as if light by a fire.

"Okay calm down please Mr. Black Shadow. I will call the lab to get her ready for power testing."

The MCO officer officer picked up his desk phone and fast dialed a number on his Phone.
"Dr. Meier this is Werner Trautman from the reception we have a unscheduled request for an MID and Power testing of a new mutant."

"That is unusual did it came on its own, and do we have a name what are they looking like?"

"Yes Dr., she is named Little-shadow, and is here with a part of her family, he claims they are Dragons. The mutant to be tested is inside an egg about 14 inches in height and 8 in width I would say. It is black with a few red dots."

"Okay so you're saying there is a mutant with his egged child for testing here."

"No Dr. the girl is still inside her egg, and from what the scanners says about her brother it is a magical construct from an unknown place."

"What are you even doing there? You’re totally useless this doesn't make any sense at all. Please send them in."

"Yes Dr. sorry Dr. I'll send them in right now."

"Would you please get through this door the Dr. will be with you in a moment."

Brother carried me in his arm and moved through the door, that automatically opened for him and closed once we were through. To our left was an empty waiting area but we just stood in the floor and waited for Dr. Meier. The Dr. entered the floor only a few moment later he probably was around his early forties with black hair that already began to fall out.

Dr. Meier was walking towards us mumbling "Fascinating, fascinating" he was so deep in his thoughts that he nearly bumped into my brother. "Oh there you are I must say I'm interested what are you!" he wanted to know from my brother. He wasn't even politely enough to ask he just expected to get his answer.

"I'm a Dragon."

"No, no we both know that isn't true you are some kind of magical projection but how come you can hold that egg in your arm?"

"In that case let me explain this physical form is just a projection of my mind and I'm a Dragon."

"I really don't know why you have to be so stubborn, we know that you are just a human that has manifested as this most interesting form."

"Don't try to tell what I am mortal If you really want to know what I am are you ready to let me show you?"

"Even telepathic that is really interesting, so you can show me how you really look right here?"

"No I will need to move us there."

"That won't work in here we have wards against teleporters in here."

"just give me your hand and see for yourself."

It is joking right? Well no harm in letting him realize he can't warp out of here. With a skeptical look Dr. Meier reached out for my brother hand.

The moment they connected my brother pulled us into his Lair.

"What is this? I can't see anything brr... it's cold where are we. How did you manage to pass the wards."

Loud laughter filled Dr. Meiers mind. "Tremble in fear mortal!" brother opened his mouth and eyes while letting the fire inside of him raise in his throat. The Cavern got lighted in the red shine of fire, revealing the giant body of my brother.

Dr. Meier was pale even through the red light falling on his face It could be seen. "But that's impossible there can't be any mutant this big existing everyone would have heard of it." Then he realized he was standing on mountains of gold and diamonds. "This can't be true." he looked around, "This is a lair."

Then my brother ported us back into the corridor. "Do you understand now mortal?"

"But why would you decide to let a sister of yours having to make herself an MID and become known to the humans.? I can't really understand that."

"My sister is the first of our kind that was born in a human body, unlike your mutants she didn't had any powers or was genetically different from any other human female. It was her soul that wasn't human when we met and I learned of what she was, my magic took control and made her turn into chrysalis, since then she is in her egg as she won't be hatching before she reaches the right age."

"That is however all I will tell you about Dragons mortal, however since she used to be a human in body it is your decision if you think of her as mutant or not."

"Hmm this is a precedence case, I would at least suggest we make a MID as well as the Power testing for now until we can get a decision from HQ if we should look at her as a mutant or as a Dragon"

"That is a wise decision."

He then laid me on the ground and I formed my body from the shadows.

"Hello Dr. Meier."

He stumbled back in surprise. "What but he said you haven't hatched yet."

"Yeah I haven't but he also said I used to be a human, and we are kinda known for being impatient. And believe me nothing is more boring than sitting inside of your egg and just listening and looking at what happens around you."

Dr. Meier calmed down, "I don't think I will get used to this, so your name is Little-shadow? Would you please follow me."

I followed him to the lab when suddenly a squad of armed officers was running into the Room, "Dr. Meier? when how?"

"Calm down everyone don't do anything stupid you don't want him to get angry at us." The Chief of the hit squad looked at my brother. "Dr. Meier I expect a explanation where had you been when he broke through the wards and how did he even manage that?"

Dr. Meier nodded "Well where were we? I would describe it as a cave or maybe cavern somewhere underground, it was full of treasures, Oh yeah and a giant lizard that can spit fire and is about as big as this house if not bigger. Regarding our wards I think he just used his knowledge of magic to outsmart them he is apparently older than we comprehend."

"Now would you please get back to your work we need to run a few tests here!" Dr. Meier said annoyed.

"Okay are you ready for a little fun?" he asked looking at me.

"Sigh let’s get over with that okay?" I said.

The Test started simple they sat up some cameras and various other devices I hadn't seen yet and started with letting me turn into my egg and back into my human form. They did the usual x-ray stuff MRT CT, you know like in a real hospital and well I was kind freaked out to see my egg in my human girls body. They couldn't however get a glimpse of what was in the egg which didn't really concerned me.

I was in my egg when Dr. Meier moved me out of the MRT and started walking with me towards the next machine. "How can I ask her if it would be okay to test this?"

"Well you just did didn't you?"

Dr. Meier dropped me in shock and I fell on the ground and started rolling over the floor. The sound must have been pretty loud and the look on the Dr. Face was priceless. He rushed after me and picked me up again. Oh shit what should I do? If she is hurt her brother could rage and destroy complete nations in days.

"I wouldn't worry too much about that, Dragon eggs are tough."

She is telepathic? Well her brother was but she is still in her egg. Dr. Meier looked at me, “I'm sorry that I dropped you, for our next test we want to test how sturdy you egg shell is and if we can get a probe of it. We won't try to break it would that be okay?”

“Sure you won't be able to get anything from it but give it your best shot who knows maybe I can get out of this damn prison earlier.”

“Okay?” He put me in a test room where they strapped me so I wouldn't be able to slip away, then I saw a robotic drill arm with sever drills on it emerging from the floor. It started with his first drill but after a few seconds where it didn't get anything done it changed to the second.

“Most interesting how long till the diamond drill?” Dr. Meier asked an assistant.

“Should be up in a minute. We are at Exemplar 5 at the moment and it looks like she goes up to 6, if she manages anymore I would say she has a tk shell but there isn't any sign of telekinetic power.”

“Could it be magic the shell of the egg is covered in more essence than the inside or anything else I have seen yet.”

“It could be I would rate the shells amount of essence easily at 6.”

“You think it could be higher?”

“Well to be honest that's the problem we can't say since the line isn't clear between 6 and 7.”

“Yeah just from the view of math X would have been a better way to describe an unknown power level. We could at least use that to try to find a mathematical solution for the power.”

“Oh looks like the diamond drill is up now, wow I can’t believe it it doesn't work what is that shell made off?”

“Yeah well if you had seen her brother in person you probably wouldn't be surprised, laser next?”

“Nah we’re going to skip that the diamond drill works normally better if there isn't any tk shell we will use the plasma torch.”

Hearing the man talked outside I felt how it got warm as the thing called plasma torch was starting to work on the egg’s shell. This feels quite comfortable.

“It doesn't work only thing we achieve is heating up the outer shell of the egg”

“How is the temperature inside of the egg?”

“same as before about 8000°F at the core and 105°F at the outer areas.”

“Okay stop the test we won't get anything done with that.”

A few minutes later Dr. Meier picked me up again. “Everything fine in there?”

“Yeah the plasma torch thing actually was quite comfortable.”

“Dragons!” He started to shake his head in resignation.

We did a few more tests to and he explained that they tried to figure out how much magic essence I was collecting from the area I was in. Then I could finally turn back into my human disguise and we started to work on some simple test like mathematical questions and later memory tests. Then they asked me to work on a language test, It was really easy I thought and wondered where the hard parts were, then I found a question I didn't really understand. The Test said Nr. 36 Please translate the following 8 sentence. Then there were the Sentence.

Susie walks with her dog in the park.
Peter would like to invite Susie to the cinema.
But Susie can't since she is on a walk with her dog.
Peter and Susie met in the Park.
They go to the cinema after Susie has finished her walk with the dog.
The dog is named Imhotep.
Imhotep comes from Japan near Mt. Fuji.
Mt. Fuji is a volcano that has been active in the past.

But there was no indication in what I should translate it. “Dr. Meier?”

“Yes what is it?”

“I don't get question 36, there must be an error in your test.”

“What do you mean let me check, no everything is as intended.”

“But you don't say in which language I shall translate the sentence.”

“What? That's obvious to German of course”

“But they are already written in German, as is the rest of the test.”

What is she talking about? The questions are written in everything but not in German. Okay I have an idea here read out loud question 6.

“The dog is named Imhotep.”

“Most interesting.” What was that die she just speak old Egyptian? “Okay now sentence 2”

“Peter would like to invite Susie to the cinema.”

“hmm" English is fine let's try Swedish not many people here talk that. "Okay now please 5”

“They go to the cinema after Susie has finished her walk with the dog.”

“That's really interesting and you say all of it looks the same for you?”

“Yeah it's all written the same.”

“That's quite the interesting ability at least you won't have to worry about reading anything that you won't understand.”

He didn't bother to explain and said “please go back to your brother in the waiting room while we finish your MID. I'll bring it over in a few, also please notice that we would like to make another test after you have hatched, or send us one from another science lab like ARC.”

I walked to my brother and turned back into my egg so he could hold on to me. After a while Dr. Meiers came to us in the waiting room and handed my brother my MID.

“Please remember to always carry this with you when you are in public, so you can identify yourself.”

“Please tell him that I'll understand brother.”

“She asked me to tell you that she understands that.”

“Okay have a safe trip back to your lair then.” Dr. Meiers looked really tired and somehow I could understand him he would probably have to attend to a dozen meeting now and explain why he decided to let me go.

When we were back at the lair I turned into my human disguise and looked at the MID

MID: DE.15.4647.01

Code-Name Little-shadow”
Appearance Black colored Egg with red dots during test.”
2.nd Young pregnant women Caucasian look black short hair, probably 14 years old round eyes that seem to burn from time to time.”
Exemplar 3 In her human appearance could lift up to 300 pounds, 7 in her Egg unable to even scratch it, harder than diamond extremely heat resistant.
Regen. ? Untested due to inability to harm her physical body (egg)
Magician 4-5 High amount of saved Essence in the Egg rate of gathering high but probably reduced due to her being still not hatched.
Telepathic 2 Only works in direct contact mind reader as well as sender. It is indicated that she will be able to do this on range once she is hatched.
Exemplar* Mental capacities are higher than average Little-shadow can read and probably speak, pretty much every language that we tested. She herself said it all looked the same, which pretty much hints it’s a passive treat of her magic. She also seemed to have an eidetic memory, so signs of any danger sense so far.

Note:

Little-shadow is possibly not a mutant in the definition were used to use. Accordingly to her Brother, she is a Dragon in nature and came to her form in the expected way. Her lifetime seems to be endless, the only way she can die is due to external threads. Due to their endless lifetime they aren't interested too much into political or human society at all, they just accept that we are the dominant species at this place for the moment and don't intend to take part in the conflicts that might arose due to that.

Note 2:

The stories about Dragons seem to love gold appears to be true, Little-shadows brothers lair is holding hundred tons of gold coins bars and trinkets, as well as diamonds and other things that might be considered jewelry. Her brother has slept for more than 20,000 years and rested on his gold treasure. It is unknown how old he is but from the way he said it, he is older than mankind itself. He appears to be quite big his head should be around the length of 2-3 school bus and make about 15% of his body length total not considering the tail that should be about 1/3 of his body length. Considering his size it is safe to assume that he can't fly due to physical power and use an unknown type of magic to do so.

Mrs. Carson looked as if she were lost in her thoughts, so I stopped with my story for a moment.
“Mrs. Carson? Everything alright?”

“Yes, yes, I'm sorry Lílle I just thought about a few things.”

I looked at the clock it showed 11:45 pm. Somehow I knew I should get myself ready. “Mrs. Carson there is something we should start doing now.”

She looked at me then at the clock I was looking at. “Oh yeah we need to move towards the labs.”

Brother intervened, “Mrs Carson if you could calm down security I could take care of that, I want a few other people to be there and when I bring them in I might have not enough time to deal with all your little wards here.”

Mrs. Carson looked surprised, “Are you telling me you can port inside and outside of this school?”

“Of course you're wards are better than those at the MCO in Cologne but there are far too many loopholes in them, considering the wards back when the Sidhe were ruling they are nothing more then little toys.”

“Okay I'll inform security that there might get an alarm on.”

She picked up the phone and fast dialed a number, “This is Mrs. Carson hello hive could you please inform Security that they might pick up and intruding port in the next few minutes were going to get some guests for a 'Hatching party'”

“'Hatching party'?”

“Yeah believe it or not were having the first dragon hatching since a couple of hundred of thousand years on campus.”

“Okay I'll have informed everyone in a minute.”

“Okay that takes care of that, so who do you want to bring for the party?”

“Well obviously her human parents they are already informed and are waiting for the port and of course the young Queen of the West Nikki Riley and whoever she decides should be there as well.”

“Hmm that would be Team Kimba, and maybe even Sara Waite.”

Brother raised his eyebrows “Gothmogs offspring?”

“Yeah that would be her.”

“Oh yeah they have already gathered that makes things easier. So which lab do I need us to move?”

“We need to get into Lab S that's the biggest one and we might draw quite the crowd. There are already many of the Lab workers there setting up cameras and scanning devices.”

“Okay if you're ready here I go.”

Brother opened his magic pool and started to reach out in several directions at once a few seconds later we stood in Lab S. I turned my head and saw my parents they looked a little bit disturbed but that was to be expected after just being magically moved around the planet.

“Whoa that was interesting.” A girl with spiky blue to gray hair long ears and cat eyes said.

“You don't have any idea how interesting, I can't even remember to see such level of magic in the past.” Nikki added.

“Mom, Dad I hugged my parents.”

“Lílle!” they both hugged me back.

“Nice to see you're all doing well team Kimba. How are your vacations?” Mrs. Carson said.

A punk girl with black hair grumbled. “This name still is as awful as ever.”

“Excuse me if I may have your attention please?” One of the Lab people called over.

“I was informed we don't have much time to waste would you please all leave the direct area where we will have the Egg, and can someone please place the egg there.” he gestured towards an area of the floor where an White blanket was laying on the floor.

I moved over to the blanket. While the other people all went back and stood behind all the equipment that was targeting the blanket. I set myself on the blanket and turned into my egg waiting for it to happen. The Doctors, at least I assumed the were Doctors since everyone of them was wearing the typical white lab overcoat, were running wild through the lab and sat up cameras and scanners.

“Hey how are you feeling Lil-shadow?”

“Like I'm an attraction in the zoo.”

“Chuckling... well you must understand that this Is a once in a lifetime opportunity for everyone here well except maybe Nikki, Sara and the blue haired girl they called Tennyo, and of course us dragons.”

“I do understand that but it doesn't change the fact that's what my human part of my mind is telling me it is just as in a zoo where everyone is waiting for the next little kitten to be born.”

“Chuckling.. you are in a bad mood aren't you?”

“No, not really. Oh.. what is that feeling?... I think its starting.”

still in my egg I tried to move. I could move inside the egg only a little bit but and I realized how crumbed it was inside. I could hear people outside talking.

“Hey look it just moved a bit.” Nikki said excited.

“That is interesting it looks like she is draining the essence out of the shell of the egg.” One of the Doctors mentioned.

I tried to move more and managed to push my head through something like a balloon that was surrounding my body. There was a little more space for my head to move and I noticed I touched the inside of the egg now with my body.

“There is moved again stronger this time!” That must have been Tennyo.

“Whoa now she is getting active, she is pulling a lot of essence out of the eggs shell.” Nikki of course she realized what I was doing she was a Sidhe after all.

Inside the egg I rested for a while, it was really exhausting to free myself out of the sticky balloon like thing that covered my body. “fsssh” did I just hiss? I tried to get a feeling for my body while I started to move again. Okay I have four legs, not really any hands anymore but the front paws are really flexible in the way the move, oh what is that claws retractable? Yeah feels like it maybe I can widen this sticky balloon like thing with them? Oh that awkward I have 2 more arms? No that must be my wings better hold them close to my body for now, and there that's my tail, wow I can move it free at will that's interesting, and whoa my neck it’s so flexible. I used my front claws and started to tear on the balloon like thing that still covered me while I pushed my head against the top side of the egg shell.

“Wow did you pick up this sound?” That must be one of the lab guys.

“Yeah I got it, sounds like a hiss.”

“She is starting to move a lot more now.”

“Any idea how long she will need to get out I don't want to risk her suffocating in their.” That was my human mom, of course she was worried, that's what makes her a mother after all.

“Hey is that a crack in the shell?”

There was a crack in the egg, now I really wanted to get out. I waited a moment to regain some more strength than I pushed again and with a crack the egg broke.

Chapter 4

Little Shadow

Mrs. Carson looked at the Egg that from time to time started to shake from the movement within. Then there appeared a small crack in the shell of the egg. Tennyo one of the last years freshman of the academy that was brought in together with the rest of team Kimba got excited and questioned.

"Oh my god is that a crack in the eggs shell?"

The egg stopped to shake for maybe a minute then it started to shake again harder this time, the crack in the egg got longer then there was a strange sensation in the air and Nikki gasped, "She’s pulling in all the free essence in the room." And a second later the egg broke.

Mrs. Carson looked at the small Dragon that was sitting between the broken egg shell, it was completely black and covered in some kind of yellow to green colored glibber. The Dragon was a little bit bigger than a cat and started to lick of the glibber that was still covering it's body using his long an flexible neck to reach for every area of its body. After a few minutes of ignoring the looks of the stunned crowd, it seemed to be happy enough stood up and shaked itself like a wet dog getting rid of the rest of the glibber.

The small Dragon looked at the crowd. "What! have you never seen a Dragon hatch?" the Dragon asked mentally at the crowd. Then it opened its wings, they had been created so close to the body that Mrs. Carson hadn't even noticed them before. The wings were so thin that even though they were clearly as black as the rest of the dragon’s body the membranes looked nearly transparent.

The dragon then suddenly jumped towards the crowd using it's wings to correct its jumping path and landed on Nikki's shoulder. The dragon was so fast that all she managed was to scream a surprise girly "Kyah" before the dragon landed on her shoulder and started to move under her long red locked hair.

"Hey that tickles!" Nikki said, but the dragon didn't stopped until everything but it's tail was vanished under Nikki's hair, then the dragon’s head looked out of the hair on Nikki’s other shoulder. The Dragon seemed to nestle itself around Nikki’s neck. Finally happy with the position it yawned and said. "I'm going to rest now!"

Tennyo moved closer to Nikki and gently touched the little dragon. "Woah she feels so smooth! How is it even possible for her to feel like that."

"Hey stop poking her Tennyo, she clearly needs to rest." Nikki defended the little dragon that was resting on her shoulders. "But you are right she is really comforting around my neck, it’s as if she is made out of satin."

Everyone gathered around Nikki to look at the little dragon even Mrs Carson couldn't help herself and moved closer. "Is she already asleep?"

"I don't think so." answered Nikki, "if I remember correctly that would take years, she is probably just resting."

"If you would like I can explain what just happened." offered Black Shadow.

"You can?" asked Mrs. Carson

"Of course, it’s quite simple, she need a few minutes to rest since she needed a lot of power to get out of the egg, now she need to refill this therefore she went to the person with the most essence around to gather more on her own. Additionally she is young and is looking for a safe place, being near the Queen of the West is one of this places since we used to be allies in the past."

“Yes that makes sense.” Nikki admitted. She then used her right hands finger to touch the dragons little head under the eye and started to rub it gently.

“fssshh” The dragon seemed to hum and moved closer towards Nikki, and she started to blush.

###

Freedom finally I was out of my egg, I had still some of the sticky glibber on my scales and started to clean myself. Not to bad. I thought while cleaning myself I took me quite a while to get most of it and when I finally got rid of most of the stuff, I stretched myself and shake my body like a dog would do to clean his fur shaking off the rest of the glibber.

I noticed everyone was looking at me, man they are huge, “What! Have you never seen a Dragon hatch?” stupid question nobody in here had. I spread my wings to check them and get ready to look for a safe spot to rest. Hmm Nikki's shoulder would be good I can hide under the hair and she gathers lot of essence where I would get a good share of it. I flexed my back legs muscles and jumped I only needed to make some small corrections during the jump with my wings, mainly to slow myself right before I landed on her left shoulder. “Kyah” she screamed surprised.

Hmm this already feels good her neck is that's the way to go. I ducked myself under her hair tightly to her skin and moved behind her head on the other shoulder with my front paws.

“Hey that tickles!”

I knew my tail was still visible but I couldn't do anything against that I would need it to hold myself on too her when she would move. Then I lifted my head through her locks and draped it on her shoulder. Finally comfy with my position I nestled myself around her neck, Oh my gawd am I tired. “Yawn” I'm going to rest now!” I said to the crowd.”

I could feel the spiky blue haired girl was closing in on us, I could somehow tell that she meant no harm. She gently touched my skin and I was happy to hear that it felt good, well obviously it felt good it was mine after all. Nikki tried to protect me, I had chosen a good place to rest, and she seemed to like it that I had chosen her neck for my rest.

Mrs. Carson the human headmistress asked “Is she already asleep?” after she had closed in to us.

Nikki denied that of course she knew that I was to young to start sleeping.

Brother explained them why I probably had chosen Nikki to rest and I could see the truth in his words. Nikki admitted that she could understand the reasons.

Then she did something I hadn't expected nor had I experienced it before. She touched my under my eye with a finger and starting to gently rub it. “fssshh” I moaned, what was that? I felt like I would melt by her touch, “ahh, don't stop, ohh queen ahh..” I started to sing for her in the dragon tongue a song of pleasure and comfort. She started to blush and I was pretty sure that she at least understood a few of the more intimate parts of the song.

Mrs. Carson talked about wanting to complete the talk she had with me and asked Nikki if it would be okay for her to accompany us since I had pretty much decided for her as a place to rest for now. I didn't spend too much attention to the exact details because lucky me, Nikki hadn't stopped caressing my sweet spot. She started to move and followed Mrs. Carson out of the lab, and I noticed something was in the hallway with us. I stopped humming and Nikki stopped walking.

“What's wrong?” she questioned me. I didn't answer and moved myself completely on her right shoulder to examine the hallway then I saw it, a small prey that was sitting at the corner of the wall.

Mrs. Carson stopped now also and looked back to me. “Lílle is something? Are you..”

She didn't finish her sentence as I leaped into the air towards my pray I took the distance about 20 yards In a single jump the prey noticed me coming and started to run but I corrected my path and landed on top of it holding it down with my right claw on its small hairless tail, I bit in its neck throw it up in the air and breathed a short flame over it before I caught it again and relocated my jaw to gulp it down holding my long neck straight upwards and using my muscles to move it into my belly.

Finished with my hunt I turned myself back to Nikki and Mrs. Carson, I burped and a small flame shot out of my mouth.

“Ewwwh, did she just eat what I think she eat?” Nikki questioned.

“I think it was a rat, a pretty big one.”

“A rat? Well it was tasty little bit small but tasty.” Did I really eat a rat? Yeah I think I did but actually I didn't care I still felt hungry, and I wouldn't waste another opportunity if it would arise.

I moved back to Nikki this time without jumping and she took me up and set me back on her shoulder where I then moved back to my earlier position. “Thank you Nikki.”

“Don't mention it Lìlle.” she started to caress my sweet spot again.

“fsshh,,,. You don't know when to stop your torturer.”

Hmm and I thought she liked it. Nikki thought.

“I do like it maybe a little bit to much.”

"Well I could stop."

“Don't you dare!”

"Awhh you little hypocrite."

I went back and started to sing another song about the hunt and love of nature.

“Can we move on?” Mrs. Carson asked me.

“Yeah sure go ahead I might need to stop if I spot another prey I'm kinda hungry.”

“Didn't you just eat a rat about a 4th of your own weight?”

“Well I'm hungry enough to eat another dozen of them right now.”

“Well in this case we don't have to worry about rats on campus any longer, that's something.”
Mrs Carson said suppressing a laugh.

We moved on and exited the underground tunnel leading from Lab S towards Kane Hall. The first time outside of a closed space after I had hatched and I was nearly overwhelmed by all the unknown yet familiar sensations that rushed over me like a tsunami.

I could hear so many noises the wind touching the leafs of the trees. Could I actually tell the number of leafs on a tree by the sound of the wind rushing past them? Yeah I think I can. The sound of all the billions of little critters in the air and in the ground, the wing swings of an owl that was passing by a few hundred yards away. Then I saw a pigeon landing on the ground not to far away.

I knew it hadn't realized me as it started to pick up on something at the ground. I silently moved to the ground, even Nikki didn't realized my sudden movement, then I exploded in movement jumping horizontal over the grass towards the pigeon. The pigeon didn't even noticed what killed her, and I started to eat it after roasting it for a several seconds.

With the pigeon in my stomach I felt a lot better, and even though I did spot a rabbit not to far away it was white and it sat in an far too inviting spot, as if to lure me. That's fishy something doesn't add up it should have heard me killing the pigeon why is it still sitting there? I decided not to eat it for now. I turned around and started to slowly move back to Mrs. Carson and Nikki, that had stopped till I was finished with my meal. Someone is looking at me. Arrgh this is irritating.

“Sorry to make you wait let's get moving.”

Nikki offered me her shoulder and I jumped back on it this time I decided to sit upright on it to scan the area for whoever was trying to lure me. Hmm has she already finished recovering? What a pity I really like the feeling of her on my neck.

If someone obviously likes it so much it’s hard to not do them the favor. “alright alright it’s not like I was able to identify this fool anyway I come back cuddling.” And thus I draped myself again around Nikki's neck. “You can read my mind?” She asked me.

“Only with physical contact and only the upper line of them like the words you form or surprises that caught you off guard and the like, brother can do that on long distances but he is a lil bit older then me.”

“No kidding. I remembered him as the only black one that fought along our sides he wasn't as big as Oolong, but he was sure more intimidating. I mean Oolong was just long and curvy in the way he moved and wise to no end. Black Shadow on the other hand, he was raw power and fire, and on the same time he was a cunning and a devious beast. I can't say that I'm surprised he is still alive.”

“Yeah brother mentioned that he figured what you ancestor was plotting way ahead and made sure he had an escape plan, he still mentioned he was lucky that it worked out so well.”

“So what do you mean who do you mean with fool that you can't identify?”

“Well as I said I don't know someone lured out a white rabbit that should have run off the moment I attacked the pigeon, it didn't run though it must have seen me. That is just wrong I was probably compelled to not notice me and the place it was sitting it just smelled fishy.”

“First day after hatch and already someone on your tail?”

“Hey I know you think that's a funny game of words, it isn't.”

“Giggling, You sure?”

“fsssh, no.” I admitted. “Queen there is favor I have to ask you.”

“A favor from a black dragon? It must be really something special if you ask me for that.”

“Actually it isn't I just can't risk doing it on my own yet, and I really need to get it done soon.”

“What can I do then for you?”

“I need to meet with the ancestral nature well that is in the forest in the south, if I'm going to hunt here it is necessary for it to be aware of my presence. I don't know for sure that it will like my presence, even though we used to be on good terms with nature, but that was a long time ago. I need you so it won't attack me right away without meeting with me first, I'm not sure I would be able to defend myself this early in age against its guardians.”

“You know of the grove?”

“Grove? Well that might be a good name to call it, it’s just it the next big center of essence next to my own in the vicinity.”

“Is that the reason why I can see all these lay lines that are connected to you? Because your nature is magic?”

“As sharp in your mind as your mother, you will be a good queen on day for sure.”

“How can you remember my mother? That was millions of years before your time.”

“I don't really understand it’s like I'm having memories that are not mine, I think its kinda of a pool of memories all dragons share, like a species memory. It isn't accurate more like a few sensations a few pictures that tells a bigger story, but your mother was remembered as being strong minded ruthless and smart as a whip.”

We entered Schuster Hall, and Nikki stopped for a second surprised. “Damn this telepathic talking is fast.”

“Fsshh. Yeah it is.”

“Miss Riley?”

“I'm sorry Mrs. Carson, kinda got distracted for a second.”

We moved towards Mrs. Carson's office and Elaine Claire her Secretary look with big eyes when she saw me looking out between Nikki's red locks. “Is that her?”

“fssh” smoke poured out of my nose “Yeah it’s me hi Claire.”

“Oh my god she is so cute!”

Hearing that I was cute somehow clicked something in me, of course I was cute I had knew that but hearing someone else admitting it, I had to show off. I moved out of my hiding place on Nikki's neck and jumped on the table where I presented myself and my wings.

Mrs. Carson realized what was going on, “Oh my there is someone in vain.”

Nikki did her best not to laugh. And I knew she was right but hey it wasn't like I hadn't had a reason to be in vain. Even a human could see how cute I was. Claire started to caress my neck.
“Oh my how is it possible that your scales are so soft? Are you sure you're not covered in feathers?”

“Of course I'm sure, I'm a dragon not a bird!” Pff humans always trying to explain this they didn't understand. I jumped back to Nikki and hid myself again under her long red locks.

“Shall we move into my office then.” Mrs. Carson said.

Nikki followed her with me on her shoulder and sat down on a chair. Mrs. Carson sat down on the chair behind her desk. She made some notes before looking back at me, or Nikki I couldn't really tell.

“Okay you stopped when you left the MCO that was about half a year ago?”

“Yeah it was between x-mas and the new year. After we left the MCO Office Cologne, and brother had transported us back into his lair. Nothing much to tell you about that we talked a while then we listened to the sound of his gold, the next day I stayed with my parents and since it was going to be new year soon I stayed with them. At night I slept in my egg in the lit chimney, and then when new year arose I had to explain what had happened to me to Oliver.”

“Hey Oliver!” I called out for him, he was walking a few meters in front of me and hadn't noticed me. He turned around and raised his eyebrows in confusion. Shit of course he wouldn't realize it’s me.

“Hi cutie who are you and how come I can't remember a cute girl like you?”

Cute girl? Oh my god did he try to hit on me? “Ohh I'm Lílle, Lílle Skygge.” Stupid why didn't I tell him I am Siggi? Oh right because I'm not any longer.

“Lílle that's an unusual name, so you're not from around?”

“Well that's a little bit complicated.”

He waited for me to catch up to him, he hadn't realized that my ears were a little bit pointy or that my eyes were not even looking like a humans. “I used to be from around here, Actually I had hoped you would recognize me that would have made this a lot easier.”

“So I'm supposed to know you? Ouch sorry I really don't want to be rude, but I', kinda lost here.”

“Oliver it’s me, Siggi.”

“Yeah sure, how much did he pay you to get this stupid joke done?”

“Oliver that isn't a joke something happened.”

That's when he noticed something was odd on my appearance.

“What's with this baggy clothing girl, you're in good shape why would you hide your beauty?”

I looked up to him he used to be taller then me when I was a boy but now I actually had to look up to him. “Oliver look at me.”

He did, “Okay I admit your hair and face somewhat resemble Siggi. But you're clearly a girl, so what do you want to achieve with this joke?” Then his eyes got bigger, “Your eyes they are kinda glowing.” He reached out to my hair and moved it aside to look at my ear. “What are you a mutant?”

“If that's easier for you, you can call me that it’s somewhat more complicated.”

“You're telling me you're Siggi, and now you are a girl with strange eyes and pointy ears anything more I need to know?”

“Uhh yeah.” I lifted my clothes to let him see my swollen belly.”

“Okay okay, you must be Siggi this story is to stupid to be made up and only Siggi would be stupid enough to get laid within days after turning into a girl.”

“Hey Oliver you moron, I didn't get laid. I told you it was complicated.”

“Yeah sure okay there wouldn't be a way you would already be in your 5 to 6th month within a few days, you were a boy last week after all. So what happened what is complicated.”

“Well do you remember how I always was into dragons?”

“Yeah sure how could I forget that when you were 13 you didn't talk about anything other than dragon and how cool they are, it was really annoying I'm still surprised we managed to stay friend due to that year.”

“Well it turned out that my interest in dragons wasn't due to me being young and just interested in the fiction but that my soul was actually a dragon one.”

“Come on next thing you're going to tell me is you turned into one.”

“Well not yet, it’s kinda hard to explain would you care to come over to my place I can’t show you here it’s too cold outside.”

He followed me back to my home and when I opened the door and called “Mom, Dad I'm home and Oliver is with me.”

Mom called, “Hey Oli do you want something to drink?”

“You actually managed Siggi's parents to take part in this prank?”

“Told you Lílle, of course he would think you're doing a prank!”

“Ohh, come on Dad, he followed me after all.”

“That's just because he want's to know more about the only girl in an appropriate age in town.”

I looked at Oliver and he was red like a tomato. Damn this what’s wrong with those humans.
“Sigh. Come on Oliver I'll show you in my room.”

We moved upstairs and I settled on my bed. “Are you ready?”

“So you're going to turn yourself into a dragon now?”

“Well kinda.”

“Yeah sure go ahead.” he rolled his eyes.

When I turned into my egg they nearly popped out of his head. He looked around the room for any hidden cameras, “Siggi?” “Lìlle?” then he looked into my drawer. “Okay what is wrong here.”
He sit on the bed next to me and looked at me. “I know I'm going to regret that but I'll play with your game for now.” he picked me up and looked at me.

“Hey please don't drop me.” He nearly did but managed to hold on to the egg. “Who was that?”

“That was me you moron.”

“Siggi?” this is strange did I hear anything.

“It is Lílle now I kinda changed my sex.”

I'm pretty sure I didn't hear a sound, how can I hear her then?

“It's called telepathic and yes I can read your mind to a certain degree like what you were thinking right now while you hold on to me.”

“That's just weird, can you please turn yourself back?” uhh mind reading that's kinda creeping me out. At least I will be able to look at her closer.

“You pervert! Fine just lay me back on the bad.”

I turned myself back into my human disguise. “Oliver stop leering at me with those lustful eyes I may be a girl now but I still used to be your friend Siggi.”

He looked on the floor getting red again. “I'm sorry I can't really help it, you're looking quite exotic. So why did you change your gender if you're not happy with it?”

“It's not that I'm not happy with it, you see turning into a dragon had changed the way I look at certain things. It’s hard to explain but I don't really care about gender at all, and my brother the dragon that helped me turn myself into one was male so my instinct took over and turned my into a woman, and it helps with breeding myself though it was as practical as appropriate in that moment.”

“You're telling me that you changed your gender during the transformation on a whim? That is just crazy.”

“You think so? Well I think I would have thought the same way before, now I don't see a problem with that it’s kinda irritating to still sometimes think like a human does.”

“Now that is weird are you telling me you don't see yourself as a human or what was you saying right now?”

“Of course I see myself not any longer as human, I'm pretty much going to live forever if I don't get killed.”

“Hmm, I don't think I can understand that but that's probably because I am human. Lílle was it? So why did you decide to tell me this, I mean that's pretty big for you.”

“Well I thought about it for a lot and since I will always remember, I thought I would regret it for the rest of eternity if I didn't tell you why I left school and left you alone in town.”

“Wait you're leaving school why?”

“I'm going to attend a private Border School in the US. It is a place where normally only mutants go to learn to control their powers in a safe place and learn how to coexist with humanity, and also I don't think it would be a good idea to stay around here with the increasing afford that humanity first is making to discredit all mutants. And having a dragon around? I think that just is like saying here I am where are your dragon hunters humans!”

“There are dragon hunters?

“I don't want to find out to be honest.”

“Probably a good decision from your point of view.”

I had to laugh loud, and Oliver joined me. “Yeah probably.”

“So private border school?”

“Yeah.”

“Will you at least come over for vacations?”

“I think so can't let brother be alone all this time in his cavern, he has been alone on his own for 20,000 years and far longer since he was together with another dragon.”

“That's good to hear can't to wait to see your sexy chick ass once you have hatched.”

“What! You little.” Calm down he is just acting like he is always acting around girls. And it's kinda flattering.

“What you little? You kinda liked that or what?”

Heat started to raise in my cheeks. “No.”

“Haha I can't believe it you're getting red as a cherry how is that even possible.”

“You YERK.” I turned back into my egg. I wasn't sure why but I really felt hurt, I knew I hadn't had any problems with being female, that didn't matter to me, but something inside me told me that I should care, and I wasn't used to the way people acted around me. This little flattering or flirting he tried to ease the conversation? Well it was really confusing and bugging and lead my mind into directions I wasn't ready to go yet. Hell we weren't even from the species what was he thinking, and yet he tried to hit on me. I knew that it wasn't that uncommon dragons had in the past lived long together with other species but they were all really long living. Being together with a Sidhe that was okay you could take your time a few couple of thousand of years, but humans? They turned to dust the moment you turned your back on them. It wasn't their fault, how should they know what it meant to lose someone precious to you and live forever with the emotions of your loss.

When I finally managed to calm myself he had already left. Their time is precious for them after all, they only have such a short amount of it they can't waste it to wait for me to calm down. I was fine with that and he had excused himself for being such a dick, at least he understood that he said something wrong. I turned back into my human disguise and went down to my family to spend some time with them before I got to sleep in the chimney and asked my human father to lit it so I had it warm.

The days flew by after that and soon it was early in the next year school had started and Oliver hadn't had much time for me, I spend most of my nights with brother and only visited my parents from time to time while brother told me what had happened in the past that influenced us dragons.
He told me of the other dragons he knew that were still alive most of them asleep somewhere in the eastern and how few we were now.

Tears made out of fire started to form in my dragon's eyes when I thought how close we had come to get extinct and Nikki caressed me to help me through that memory. “Don't cry Little-shadow that you were born shows that your species is still alive and starts to blossom again.”

Hearing her thinking this in Sidhe made me quite comfortable, she did really believe in that, you can't lie in the old Sidhe language, of course the Sidhe were masters in talking around the truth, but there had been no deception in her words. “Thank you so much Nikki.”

Mrs. Carson looked at me, I was sure she could understand how I felt, she had lost someone precious to her in her past and something told me that she was far older then she looked. Her age was still a joke compared to how long my life would be, but she was probably four to five times older than I was. “That's pretty much all that happened until now, nothing too fancy to be worth telling left, I think.”

“Well it is pretty much, and it gave me more than enough information to figure out how to deal with your request of enrolling at Whateley Academy. I would like to put you in Poe Cottage at least too try if you fit in, this has to do with your recent change of genders. I'm sure you are aware we would like to have you as a roommate with another student. Enrolling at Poe Cottage would also make you live near Nikki and her friends which might be not for the worst.”

“I think I can follow your thoughts regarding that.”

“There is something I wonder though you used to change your appearance when you were in your egg can you still do this?”

“You mean that disguise to look human? Yeah but I will going too look quite different this time as I now have a real body to change. So it’s not like pulling the shadows to form a body from my imagination.”

“Would you try it?”

I jumped down from my place on Nikki's shoulder to the chair and sat myself down. Then I concentrated on shifting my body I hadn't done that this way and didn't know what to expect as I started to shift I could feel my body itching and twitching as it twisted it's form. When I was finished I had a human body it was still female I could immediately tell due to the balance. Something was off Mrs. Carson and Nikki both looked at me in awe.

“Wow she looks amazing,” Nikki sang.

“Indeed, though that makes it hard for us to hide that she isn't a human.” Mrs. Carson nodded.

“What do I look strange? I need a mirror!” What were they talking about how die I change that they would have problems hiding the fact that I wasn't human?

“We could try to hide her as another Sidhe, she looks much more like us than a human.”

“Yeah that is probably the only solution for her as no human has such perfect skin.”

“Ya no kidding I‘m not sure many Sidhe have.” Nikki admitted.

“Hey, somebody got a mirror for me?”

Nikki looked at me, “Oh I'm so sorry of course here you are.” and she pulled a hand mirror out of some kind of magical created dimensional pocket and handed it over to me.

I opened the hand mirror and looked at my human form, the Hair was pretty much the same but now it was as black as my scales, and my skin? It was the completely opposite it was alabaster white, my ears were pointy like those of the Sidhe but on the same time way more stronger then the ears of a Sidhe were. My eyes they were as round as I was used to by now. I had pupils like a cat and behind that they were clearly burning like fire. It wasn't like before where it only looked like it appeared when I got angry, now it was visible all the time. And then their were my teeth. I looked except for my eyes really like a Sidhe but my teeth? They were clearly meant for eating meat. My face as a whole was still somewhat heart shaped but was far too long and small, my cheek bones were now really high given me a somewhat aristocratic look, and my chin was small and petite, rounding up the face in an attractive way. My nose was as it used to be small and turned upwards given me the cute innocent girl look and my lips were dark red as if I had used lipstick to make them look that way. I looked down at myself and saw that I had at least got a few cup sizes and was probably at a good C-cup and from the way the chair suddenly ar. I was clothed in a black scaly leather armor, my feet were covered in black boots meant for travel, and I had a cloak in black too, a cloak like a wanderer would wear.

“Yeah I think this look will work for now.” I said to them, while thinking I need to check myself out in a full size mirror as soon as possible.

“Well we need to make sure you have some school ufelt a lot more comfortable my rear had probably changed similniforms, Lílle.” Mrs. Carson said as she looked at my clothes.

I looked at Nikki who was wearing hers. I closed my eyes and when I opened them I was sitting in a black version of them next to her. “That's all that is possible I'm afraid.”

Nikki looked at me. “I think this will be fine, won't it?” she questioned Mrs. Carson.

“Yeah I will have to make some notes and come up with a reason why you only wear black but it will work out. Well let’s get back to the topic from your looks you might be 14 to 15 years old in your current shifted form, that will mean we will have to get you a room with the other freshman on the second level of Poe Cottage, you will speak later about this with Mrs. Horton Poe's housemother.”

I nodded. “As long as she stays away from my gold I'm fine with that.”

“Your Gold?”

“Of course I need something to rest on!” I said shocked.

Mrs Carson sighed “Forgot that I asked. Regarding classes I will have you talk about that with Elaine Claire as you two seemed to get along, I presume you don't have interest in any normal classes?”

“Actually I do have interest in business accounting, and alike, then of course flight classes, the rest is pretty much more magical related.”

“I will pass on this info to Elaine so you two can work this out later.”

Nikki suddenly yawned.

Mrs. Carson looked at the clock, “Well it is getting kinda late you two should head over to Poe Cottage and Nikki you should go to bed asap. Lílle you will meet with Mrs. Horton and work out everything else.”

“Yes Mrs. Carson.” Nikki and me answered simultaneously.

“Then off with you two hush hush.”

We walked out of the office and Claire as she had told me to call her looked surprised at me. “Lílle stop changing your looks every few hours please!”

“I won't promise anything I can't hold I'm still in growth you know?”

Nikki giggled. We walked then towards Poe Cottage it was in the middle of the night and my eyes lighted the area. “Wow that's a fancy trick you're doing there.” Nikki said.

“You think so? I don't know it’s kinda wasted. I can see in the dark so I don't need it.” I noticed someone was moving not to far away from us towards our direction she was clearly some kind of Sidhe. But on the same time she was different, memories of her kind that were imbued into me from my species memories came to the top and I knew it was a drow created for battle.

Reaching out with my mind, I asked “A drow in this time? How is that possible?”

The drow tried to shut me off her mind, but I easily pushed her shields away, “Hey I want to talk to you how comes you're still around?”

“How are you able to penetrate my mental barrier, what are you?”

“That's kinda complicated.”

The drow suddenly ported in front of us, and I could see Nikki wasn't to happy about that. “Rohanna what do you want now?”

“I'm not here to talk to you Nikki, I have to talk to her.” She looked back at me “What the hell are you.”

“Most interesting, not only a drow but one of the changed ones? I would have thought you would be all gone by now.”

"Fey move away from her! She is clearly not what she looks like."

"I know she isn't Sidhe, calm down Rohanna our species used to be allies in the past."

"Then why is she in disguise? If she would be allied with our kind there wouldn't be any need for this."

"She is in disguise so that nobody realizes what she is, it would only cause trouble if people find out that her kind is still alive."

"Her kind? She is practically glowing in magical energies I don't think a disguise like that will keep trouble away."

Who does she think she is? My eyes started to glow stronger as I got annoyed, "You are pretty cocky for a mortal, Drow!" I looked back at Nikki or Fey as the Drow had called her, "I think I like your friend, is she always this direct?" I said without even trying to cut off the annoyed tone in my voice.

"Hey calm down you two, you are supposed to be friendly to each other, sorry Lílle she probably hasn't realized what you are or she wouldn't be this disrespectful. And you!" She pointed at another drow, no that wasn't correct more like a twin from the first one. "Don't try to sneak up on her."

I remembered that some of the dragon used to speak in a variation of Sidhe with the drow's in the war, trying to speak it as good as I could mentally told her"If you really want to know for sure what I'm you'll have to wait until we are at a more private place."

"What are you?" Both of the Drows looked more than a little disturbed.

"Dragon" I mentally said in drow.

Their eyes narrowed as they inspected me closer.

"If you still don't believe you'll have to tag along." I had switched back to English.

Nikki looked at me, "What have you told her?"

"I told her what I'm using the few words I could manage to come up with in my broken drow. And if she wants to see a prove she has to tag along until we reach a more private area."

"You speak drow?"

"Only a little bit and mostly because it's kinda like normal Sidhe just more aggressive and a lot shorter."

"When did you learn that?" Her face clearly indicated that she didn't thought that Sidhe and Drow were alike in language at all.

"You know what I'm why do you even bother to ask?"

Nikki raised her shoulder confused “Shall we move on then?" She asked me and the drow twins. All three of us just nodded. While we were moving towards Poe Cottage I noticed the the drow girl moved as if they were one person covering the area around us in all directions. What is that, it’s like the two are telepathic but to what degree? I decided that I would have to ask her or them about that later.

When we finally arrived at Poe Cottage, a large building that seemed to resemble the letter H about 3 floors high probably big enough to be called a school on its own. It was build out of red bricks and the third floor was build as an old colonial age attic. We moved inside through a double door and to our right stairs went up to the second floor and left they lead down to the basement. In front in the middle of the hall was a bust of Edgar Allen Poe. So this is why it is called Poe Cottage. I thought.

We then followed the corridor to the left till the end and turned left again to met with Mrs. Horton the main housemother of Poe Cottage. Apparently she was in charge of the cottage for a good reason since she was already waiting for us. Could she have used all this wards to catch up on us? I was pretty sure that all of them were made to stop people to find out what was going on inside of the building.

"Hello young lady you must be the young Lílle Skygge?"

"Yes that would be me Mrs. Horton."

"Very well." She looked displeased at Nikki and the two Drow girl, "I see you already managed to find yourself some trouble makers, I presume you are going to swing the same way?"

"I hope not Mrs. Horton but the circumstances might lead to that."

"I was informed there is something unique about you, would you care to explain?"

"Only if we can move in your office there might be prying ears around."

"What is with the other two?"

"Oh they are alright, they should be with us. The two drow's especially"

We moved through some kind of living room into Mrs. Horton's office. I looked around and checked the wards and wasn't happy about what I could see.

"Mrs. Horton you don't mind if I would like to put up a privacy ward. It's not that I don't trust your's but the holes in your wards are too obvious. I would like not to be listened from outside." I looked at the Drow's "Would be helpful if you two? Could check on it when I'm done." One of them nodded while the other one said "Sure."

"What do you mean holes in the wards?"

"Well these wards are just not good, even a child like me is able to see right through them, there are like two dozens of ways to penetrate them and a few more that wouldn't even let you notice they were broken."

"Mrs. Riley would you care to explain?"

Nikki was red faced and clearly embarrassed, "Ahm you see she kinda sees more about magic than me."

Mrs. Horton hadn't expected that from the look of her raised eyebrows. “Okay if Nikki is fine with that I won't object she made some of them for me after all, but you only put up a temporary ward for this room am I clear?”

“Yes Mr. Horton.” I began to dig into the flow of ley lines and bend them to my will. I could see, Nikki looked completely at awe at the magic I was working while Rohanna already had started to check on the work I was doing. After several minutes I was finished and Rohanna nodded and said, “That should be more than sufficient.”

Mrs. Horton looked impressed. “Okay I get it you're a really talented magician, so what else about your mutation honey?”

“Well okay just don't flip, I'm not a mutant.”

Mrs. Horton looked at me with concern. “Honey I know what you are thinking, yes you are human of course, being a mutant doesn't mean you aren't a human.”

“No, Mrs. Horton I'm also not human. I think it’s easier if I show you all.”

I moved in the mid of the office and started to shift my body back, after a few second back in my real body I spread my wings spit a small flame out my mouth and jumped on the table.

“I'm a dragon!”

Rohanna and her twin, now in my dragon form I could see the line that connected them, jumped up, and I could see she was trying to hold back tears. “A dragon baby? A real dragon baby and a black one on? That should be impossible.”

“Well it's not, but yeah even brother was surprised that I was born.”

Mrs. Horton looked more interested then everything else, “So you're saying you ain't a mutant but an actual dragon?”

“Yes Mrs. Horton, we dragon's are born in quite the unique way, the magic that creates us forms a soul that will then randomly be born in one of the intelligent species. Then there is a small chance that we are able to overcome the difference before we turn adult, if not we won't be born into a dragon. I had luck I stumbled upon my brother before I was too old too change, and something triggered his magic to help me change, accordingly to him it’s too unlikely for this to be a random event, so he said it was fate that I had been born.”

“Okay so you're a dragon, then why did they send you to Poe Cottage?”

“Well because before I turned into a dragon I used to be a human boy.”

Mrs. Horton nodded, “You don't seem to be really troubled with the change am I right?”

“Hmm not really, sometimes I have some thoughts that tells me I should be, but hey who cares.
I'm a dragon, it's not like my gender is a never changing fact in my life.”

No everybody looked at me with big eyes, Nikki gasped, “Do you mean it can change?”

“Yeah would you care to explain?” Mrs. Horton questioned me.

“Just what I said, if I should feel the need to reproduce, and there are only females around I might change back into a male, but as far as I know I'm far too young for that to happen.”

“You're kidding me? Phase is going to kill you for that, if she ever finds out.” Nikki said.

“Ohh Phase, She clearly needs to accepts her gender,” Rohanna said.
And her twin continued, “it's not like it is the worst that could have happened to her.”

“But she has both genders so which of them shall she accept.” Nikki budded in.

“Stop it please. Nikki you should head to bed soon, about you.” she looked at me, “I would prefer If we could try to keep this secret for a while not that this will be possible for 4 years but just don't run around in you dragon form all day please. Then you need to know that you will be roomed with another student your room will be 221 next to one of the Wing Advisor rooms. Your roommate is called Lynn Michaela Samson, I think you two can learn a lot from each other.”

Nikki started to get pale, “but Samson Mrs. Horton you can't do that she is a dragon, and Samson...”

“Don't try to talk me out of it, it’s the best possible solution for both of them.”

“Yes Mrs. Horton.” Nikki said clearly not happy about the turn of events.

The twin girls looked at Mrs. Horton. “If she should harm her in any way, I'm not sure if I can keep my promise of not killing a student too Mrs. Carson,” the other twin continued. “and if I have to break my promise to her that would be your fault.”

“Rohanna is that a threat?”

“No you know better than that, it’s a conclusion.”

“Hey can you let me in please. What the hell are you talking about, who is this Samson girl?”

“Well she is the daughter or now she is the daughter of a mutant called Heckel he is only a baseline but part of a well known group of mercenaries called Dragonslayers. Don't worry they don't actually hunts dragons as the name implies, but they were capable of dealing with a highly dangerous mutant not too long ago.”

“Oh this is just great! At least I know you really want me to keep my secret hidden.”

“Well yeah I, also no mutant would like to share a room with the child of a mutant hunter, I figured since you aren't a mutant It will work out.”

“Yeah if you're right and her father doesn't hunts dragons!”

“Enough of that for now! You will have to deal with that, now you already know about Poe Cottage then you should know that we are a family here, all of us have something in common that makes us different from the other students of the academy, even different from being mutant or dragon, all of our students have trouble with their genders, they are either 'Gay, Lesbian, Transsexual, Changelings, or aggressively bi-sexual that its a problem for them to be accepted into the sexual harassing reality the world is showing us today. Since we want you to live a normal live here at Whateley Academy, this little secret will stay hidden from the other cottages, so you can study without dealing with another source of problems am I clear?”

“Yes Mrs. Horton.”

“Okay dear now please turn back into your human form, Nikki can you show her where her room is and please don't make more noise than necessary it's already past curfew.”

I turned back into my human form and followed Nikki, Rohanna and her twin, damn what is her name? Out of Mrs. Horton's office. While we passed the Junior students rooms as Nikki explained before turning to the right back to the stairways, I asked “Rohanna which one of you is actually Rohanna?”

They both looked at me and then pointed at each other.

“Okay very funny.” I looked at Nikki.

“Just don't ask.”

Okay now this was interesting. I would need to figure that out sooner or later. We moved past the bath and then turned upstairs. There was a common area with a few desks and sofas to sit down and study, then we turned left and walked along the hallway.

“The rooms to the left and right here that narrows the Hallway are the Wing Adviser rooms, this is the girls area so you won't run into boys too frequently, your room is right next to the one on the right side come on.” She smiled at me and said. “I'll see you around then good night.”

I used my student Id card to open the door and slipped in, the room lighted up in the fiery shine of my eyes and I noticed the left bed was already occupied by my roommate. She had long blond hair from what I could see and a curvaceous body that might even be able to rival Nikki's if the thin sheets didn't trick my eyes. I moved as quietly as I could so that she wouldn't wake up and sneaked towards the bed on the right side putting down the few things I had in my possession.

"Who are you, and what are you doing in my room?" I heard a melodious sounding voice in my back.

So much for trying not to wake her up."Hi I'm Lílle your new roommate sorry for waking you up."

I turned myself around to look at the girl, she was sitting upright on her bed and was looking at me.

Her eyes went big when she realized what I had said. "I got a roommate? that's great. I'm Lynn Marie Samson, but call me Lynn, so where are you from? you don't look like you're from around. Are you from Europe maybe? What's your powers?. Wow your eyes looks like they are on fire."

Okay just perfect. Put the dragon with an hyperactive energizer into the same room. Thank you so much Mrs. Horton! "Yes, thank you, Hi Lynn, Germany, you got that right, indeed, natural gifted magician, I know kinda fancy isn't it."

"What?" then she realized that I had just answered all her questions. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry that must have sounded so weird it's just, I'm glad to finally have a roommate."

I sat down on my bed. "Hey it fine, I just was surprised for a moment though."

She sighed in relief. "So you're a magician? but natural what is that."

"Hmm kinda hard to explain I just don't use spells like other magicians I just directly influence the flow of essence around me."

"That's fancy sounds kinda like cheating on the others? I like that. So do you need help with your luggage?"

Luggage? what luggage, "Oh well about that I don't really have to much of that."

"What then why you are new here and yet you are already wearing your school uniform aren't you?"

"Yeah magic do you remember?"

"You must be kidding you created your clothes out of magic?"

"Yes I actually do that. "That is really surprising, I thought she was kinda bad with mutants. "I really don't want to be jumping on something so please just tell me if I should stop, but there are some people that, when they learned that I would be roommates with you got kinda disturbed. Not like I give anything about what other people say but, I wonder why would someone as nice as you have such a bad reputation?"

"Uhh that, well my dad even though he is a mutant himself, is kinda hunting down mutants that as he explained me are dangerous to the human society and I'm not sure if that is a bad thing, but obviously everyone is saying we should protect our brothers and sisters in genes and that he is a traitor on our kind."

"So family problems huh sounds bad."

"Yeah he kinda expects me to join them when I'm done with school."

Shit. Calm down calm down Lílle. "Well I have kinda a similar problem you see my family is kinda rare and we tend to be a little bit overprotective over one another and our possessions. There has been spilled quite a lot due to that."

"Bad memories?"

"You wouldn't believe."

"Well then let’s talk about something more interesting, since we’re in Poe, where do you stand?"

"Excuse me, what?"

"Do you like boys or girls, and they always tell me I'm a blond."

"Hey!" I playfully crossed my arms in a grumpy way. Then I started to giggle and to lay down on my bed. "Well I don't actually know, I used to be a boy but that was back around x-mas last year, and well I have at least managed not to think too much about that till now."

"Oh wow 9 month already so how far are you with the change?"

What does she mean it doesn't happen instantly? well okay it only happened instantly because I was reborn. So It was safe to assume that for mutants it normally happened over time. "Ohh that I'm all female now for quite a while actually, body wise it feel like I have been born this way."

"So you like boys?"

"Hmm hard to say it’s not like I haven't thought about that, but you need to understand I'm from a small village over in Germany and there was only 1 other guy in my age there. We used to be friends so we were kinda close, but between us girls? He is a chauvinist, I'm not sure if his brain is on his neck or between his legs."

She started to giggle, and as much as is tried I couldn't stop myself from following her lead.
"Oh my god, I hadn't heard that one yet."

"So how about you?" I questioned her.

"Me?" her face turned into a cute cherry red, "uhh ahm, yeah well I think I'm still somewhere in between the transition."

"Oh" I rolled over on my stomach and angled my legs so I could watch her while giving her a clear look at my cleavage. "Tell me more." I noticed she was clearly staring at my cleavage, Ha figured so you're still boy down there now that's interesting!

"Well yeah it look like I still have my male testicles and probably will have them for a while, at least if the Doctor isn't a complete moron."

"And your preference?"

"What girls of course!"

"Oh girls well that is interesting..." I looked how her crotch started to bulk out more and more. Shit it is still working? Staring at her bulging pants I felt the heat rushing into my head. No don't, to early and she didn't even know of your secret, don't do anything you might regret later.

Apparently she thought the same, as she tried her hardest not to look any longer at my cleavage.
“Uhh well let’s get back to the Powers anything else then magic?”

“I don't know why don't you say what yours are? I might remember by then.”

Her eyes opened in surprise “What? You didn't say anything telepathic too?”

I giggled “yeah somewhat but I can only receive the basic thoughts like the moment you say something I hear it in your head.”

“Uhh scary scary my roommate is a mind reader.” she started to giggle. “well about myself I'm nothing special exemplar 3 so stronger then most trained human, and I have regeneration 2, I'm supposed to be able to work with magic but I haven't figured out that part yet.”

She looked at the clock. “Oh shit. It is already half past 5 we need to wake up soon,”

“Just go ahead and sleep I don't really do that I'm going to make sure you don't oversleep tomorrow.”

“You don't sleep?”

“Yeah looks like I gather enough essence to just stay awake.”

“Neat. Okay I'm trying to sleep see you later roomie.”

Damn I really wanted to show her what I am. I don't like lying to her, she is kinda cute and really nice. I took the gold that I managed to hide from her sight and listened to it as I started to rest.
