____Intro____


I'm just an average teen. Well, kind of. My name is Mark and I kinda have an advantage in a fight that most don't have.
I also have friends, Jake and Keven. They have sorta the same power as me. We can all turn into dragons.
Jake and I are cosmic dragons and Keven is an Earth dragon.


One might ask, "How do you get those powers?" to tell you the truth I don't know. I think you may be born with them.
OR it could be the fact that 5 years earlier nearly all of the nuclear weapons were fired in WWIII. Yep, I think that has something to do with it. It's not just us three who have super powers. Many people have some weird talents
(Super strength, breathing underwater, shape shifting, etc) but not many of our kind exist that we know of, and
we are all different.





____Chapter 1____

One day we heard on the news that a mysterious force had engulfed a building in fire. I didn't know at the time (I was only 11 years old at the time) but I would soon figure it out. These occurrences became commonplace and I just stopped caring but two years later I was lying in bed looking up at the weird colored clouds caused by the explosions and I started feeling weird. At first I put it off but about 5 minutes later I notices something long and scaly moving on the floor. Well, of coarse I looked down and saw that it was going under my covers. Well, what happened next nearly made me scream. It turns out
I had sprouted a tail. Yea I know what you are thinking GROSS well I wanted that tail to go away and as the thought passed through my mind I watched that darn thing shrink right back into my body. Yea, now you're thinking DOUBLE GROSS.
So was I. Well, I didn't sleep at all that night and when I woke up I was exhausted and cranky. My mother made me some
eggs and I felt better.


You would think that after an incident like that that one would be extremely emotionally scarred but I just passed it off as a dream and thought that even though there were genetically altered people everywhere nothing that big could ever happen in real life. I only started to worry when I talked to my friends and the conversation went from great food at the diner to a dream Keven had had. He had dreamed that he had grown massive wings and his skin had gotten scaly and as hard as a rock.


That scared me. I told him that I had a dream where I sprouted a tail, and Jake finally said, in his creepy serious voice, that he had sprouted scaly limbs with 6-inch talons. This was fascinating but we had to figure out whether this was a weird telepathic dream or we were turning into the only creature with scaly skin wings and 6-inch claws DRAGONS.


We all went to a secret place only we knew about. It was a dense forest that got thinner as it neared a place with no trees at all by a cliff 200 feet high. We hang out there and throw rocks and sticks into the lake far below just to kill time.
When we got there we talked for a few minutes about the new skill and decided to try it out. We paused for a moment, but the silence was broken by Jake who said " so, who is going first?" Jake and I said "not me" at the same time so Keven ended up
trying it first. He thought about the image of a dragon and nothing happened so I decided that maybe imminent danger would get that skin turning scaly. Sooo, I punched him as hard as I could, maybe a little too hard because he ended up stumbling and falling right off the cliff.
