A/N - Hey guys! This is the start of my VERY first fanfiction/novel on Wattpad. I hope you enjoy this for what this book is for and please do not try to steal the plot line. Most of this concerning the lore of the Dragonskins is all original created and pondered on by yours truly. ANWAYS enough of my introduction. Let go straight INTO THE STORY!

Rift's POV

Just.....ha..gotta.......keep.....ugh.............running......can't.....let....them........catch....me. Everything is gone. Just gone. My forever home. My supposed to be sanctuary. It's late at night. I mean VERY late at night. I don't know how it is for um.....what's the word they would use to call them. Oh right, humans, mortals, Homo sapiens, whatever you want to call them, I don't care. The point is in our little corner of the world we get either A LOT of sunlight or very little depending on the weather and it gets weird were I'm from. I can't believe it's actually gone. I mean we've been here for how long? Then somehow THEY showed up and burned and brought it down to the ground. I don't really know HOW THEY did it but THEY did. I thought it was impenetrable, but apparently not. I may not sound it but NO words could describe the worries I came to bear at this time running for my life as fast as I can. Is it even a possibility that they are alive? Wait..... Rift focus on the task at hand. Oh, right running for my life as fast as my legs can carry me. Huh, forgot about that. I push these thoughts away as I look behind me. Wait.... No ones there. Funny that I thought they were still chasing me. As I'm being crazy, you know talking to myself in my head, with my luck and everything, not only trip over a log that's practically screaming" HEY there friend! Come trip over me!" But end up toppling over a cliff. Landing not only on my brand new twisted ankle but my other foot as well. Curse my half human body with extremely weak bones. Sometimes I just don't understand how humans can survive like this. I begin to feel a horrible feeling in my left and my right ankles. Pain. I think that's what it's called. My right ankle doesn't hurt as bad. I think I can walk, slowly but surely. Then all of a sudden I noticed that my left leg is now painted with blood. Great. Just my luck. What is this stuff anyways? Interrupting my thoughts, with my abnormal dragon-level hearing, I turn my head towards the sound of a twig snapping. Just judging by the frequency and guessing by how loud it was that's pretty close. I don't want to blow my cover of its a human. No one can know where I am from otherwise they might tell THEM. I can't risk it considering the others might be alive. I,trying to play the facade of the "damsel in distress" I have no idea what that is and why humans are so interested in it, call out with a very hoarse cry," Hello? W-who's t-there?" Who knows maybe they might actually be able to help me. Aren't some humans said to have kind hearts and be caring? Note how I thought SOME. I was interrupted once again, but this time I was actually startled out of true fear. What if it's THEM? I'm so screwed.

"Hello? Is someone out there? Answer if your there and show yourself." A deep rugged voice calls out.

Should I answer? I don't know if I should considering my situation. You know the usual just bleeding in my human form with no opportunity to heal myself. I don't even know if I can right now. I'm covered in burns and cuts. Tears begin to stream down my face. I should have fought but he told us we were the only chance to rebuild. So he said one thing only before he was cut down before us. Run. I, being the brave one I am answer with a small,"I'm over here." After that I hear many footsteps rush towards me.

"My Irene! Are you ok?!" A man with pale blue eyes, a green cape, and light brown hair asks with concern.

"What happened to you!? You look like you've fought an entire war by yourself!" A man with blonde hair, icy blue eyes, and a blue cape inputs as they all rush towards me to help.

"Thanks! You look great yourselves!" I say with the obvious sarcasm in my voice. Ugh, good going Rift! You have to take every sarcastic chance don't you get don't you! Yes I do I'm me! Coming out of my thoughts I hear laughter coming both from Green Cape and a guy with...... Blue? Hair..... Who am I to judge. He also has blue lapis like eyes with a red cape.

"Hahahaha! She told you Garroth! Hahaha.... I'm dying!" Green Cape says in between laughter. The Red Cape man joins in with a few chuckles of laughter as well.

"I don't really see what's so funny Laurence...." Garroth I think says utterly confused.

"It's the fact you don't know her name yet she's already burning you!" Laurence I believe responds still laughing.

"Um.. Hello? Kinda covered in burns, blood, and not to mention cuts that are um... Oh I don't know..... Still bleeding! Just to trying to keep you in the loop." I say slightly louder than Laurence's laughter. They all turn to me and look at me like I'm crazy.

"Right! You two stop acting like children we have to help her!" Garroth, glad to be out of the situation chides them.

Finally! They actually are going to help me! That was my last thoughts before I pass out.
