"Look out!!"
"Burn!!"
"Did you just?"
"I thought you did. You just didn't breathe fire right now.'
"That wasn't me, girl. My mouth was closed. I saw the fire shoot out from your hands."
"My hands? What does that mean?"
"Can you shoot fire again out of your hands or does it have to come on impulse."
"I don't know. Let's try. Shoot!! I said, ``shoot!!"
"Maybe it's one of your hidden talents that you have to master. I've seen this before and can help you hone your skills if you would like."
"Skills! I can't even master this one let alone worry about others. Please don't tell me what I am to be for I fear just the thought. Drop me down there and let me think in peace."
"I shall do as you command but just know something Adalyn. Now that you have discovered this ability then whatever you do you cannot run from it. It is better if you embrace it here and now."
"Dragon, make yourself scarce. They will come looking for you as they will for me. I think it is best we split before we start getting too attached."
"Why not stay? Two firebreathers will scare more than just one alone."
"Dragon please! I have a lot to process on what just happened."
"Suit yourself but if you need me then you know where to find me."
"Thanks again…..for everything!!"
"No problem. Addy, whatever you become I will always have your back and together we shall not bow to any other "

"What did you just say?"
"I'm sorry. I have to go."
"Take care of yourself and I'll be back under the full moon on the third day. At four look to the east and then with the strike of the hour on twelve then look to the west and I will be there."
"Look what we found boys? A poor helpless little girl lost in the woods. Hood would love her but why not have some fun first? Whatdya say?"
"Get off of me? Stop circling me like that."
"Ohh miss. We don't want to hurt you unless you want us too. We just want to have some fun with you, that's all."
"I said...GET OFF!!
"Curses! Did you see that? She just shot me with fire forth from her hands."
"Conros!!"
"I'm sorry. It just happened."
"Conros!!"
"I dont know what you're saying. Please just leave before I do something I do not want too."
"svent wer conros vur makaid stoda jacioniv fothisev"
"Wait, wait, what are you doing. Why are you…"
"You idiot. I didn't really mean you to kill her and drive a spear through her heart. I was only scaring her. Help me stop the blood."
"wux heathens. ihk dout prekitr seanf wer whedab jedarkic hak wer whedab jedarkic geou qe dout punisher"
"Oh no. Everybody run!!"
"si relgr acht wer vrrar suacoic ekess fothisev sia relgr vur confn forth ekess sia aso. banri nomenoi heathens spical ekess wer pit persvek svabolen astahii confna."
"Look at her eyes!! She's changing!!"
"BURN THEM ALL!!"
"Aaaahhh!! Allah! Allah!! Allaa….."
W..where am I? Shadow, what happened? How did I get here?"
" You seriously don't remember? You were boom, boom, die, I am the supreme being here! Cower before me all yee who are imbeciles. Boom!! You called the four winds and they crushed every single one of them. Don't worry girl; you didn't kill all of them, and there are still but a few survivors. Your legend only begins from here."
"Get off me!! I don't want my legend to begin. I don't even want to be known as a legend. How could this have happened?"
"I don't know but I think it is because you are getting too close to me. Jesus says you can't have one foot in darkness and the other in light while still expecting to be able to serve Christ to the fullest. You will hate the one and love the other. You will serve the one and despise the next. The company you keep is what you turn into."
"Are you saying that if I stay close to your heart then I too will one day turn into a disastrous dragon that can never die. I will be a god? There is only one God and you nor I will never be Him."
" Oh no no Addy? You will not turn into an ugly beast. By Heaven's sake what would two dragons hope to accomplish? No, my sweet child; what you will turn into is far far more powerful than anything on this earth. You yourself have proven it by having a spear driven into you and then pulling it out…..with no blood! See, I can die and bleed like any other but you...you can command us. At your word you can summon us and make us do whatever it is you want. Don't you feel the power, my love? It consumes you limb from limb and I know that you crave it. I can teach you how to control your power but even I must bow at your grace when my time comes."
"Shadow!! What will I turn into?"
"You just don't get it do you, my girl. It's not what you will turn into but who you already are. You just have to master what it is you can do. You're a witch which is the most powerful entity ever. You can cast spells, summon whomever and make whatever you want appear. In due time however there is only one thing that is more powerful than a witch and that is a sorcerer. Then and only then will you not only be able to cast spells but be able to create them at your discretion. No longer will you be able to summon spirits to help by your aid but you will be able to harness the power of spirits into your own. You read that all demons and spirits can tell you of past, future, and present times but a sorcerer can change and alter those events to fit whatever fantasy he or she wants."
"I told you I don't want this. This is not my destiny and you have to help me change it. God did not create me to be a witch. That just makes no sense."
"A lot of things God does doesn't make sense. Why would God create someone to later turn into a ruthless villain and destroy thousands of His own people…..on purpose? I mean what evil have we done. Yes, I know and can see the evil everywhere but does He not see that we are trying our hardest to get out of our situation. We may not all be in agreement but why must the humble and God-fearing one be chained with the unrighteousness. We are at a stage in life now that it is hard to tell who exactly God is punishing and who He's loving."
"So that makes you fit to help differentiate between the two?"
"All I'm doing is making Christians stronger and more solid in what they believe so that it is clear that they are different."
"This is just like the book of Judges. The Isrealites turn to sin and God raises up a villain/enemy to punish them and then He raises up an even stronger Judge to help kill the villain so that they don't execute their power to the fullest. Jesus continues these cycles and that's how it goes."
"So you're saying Christians have turned their back and you believe God has raised you up to punish them? Then He has raised me up to be stronger than you and make sure you don't overextend the power He has given you to wield?"
"Exactly, which means I only have a short amount of time before He raises you up to subdue me."
"Oof. So now you put me in a pickle. You want me to come into my power as slow as I can so that you can further extend your power reign, but if I come into my power soon then that means your reign will be over?"
"Yes!!"
"That sounds fine and amazing, but what will happen to me once I turn into a sorcerer? I don't want to lose you."
"That part I do not know and fear the worst, but if it is any consolation then I too do not want to lose you as well."
"Aagghh!! Save you and keep my identity or save the church and risk losing everything? There is no easy day is there?"
"You couldn't have said it any other way but since I know that you can take care of yourself and God will not let you die until I die then that means here is where we must part. I will go back to punishing and you to your practice."
" Noooo!! There has to be another way! There just has to be!"
