Freedom, that was the first thing he felt when he opened his eyes, sweet freedom. He flexed his wings and took a huge flap, stopping himself from hitting the ground and he flew into the air. He let out a roar of joy, so loud that it echoed across the valley below. He took another flap of his large wings, twirling in the air.

'What happened?' said a voice in his head, 'I can't feel anything anymore.'

'It seems we shifted,' replied Pennator with another loud roar.

'Oh... wait what!' he said.

'We shifted,' replied Pennator, taking another circle in the air.

He was smaller then what you would expect a dragon to be, probably coming up to a man's chest when on all fours. Each of his four legs ended in four talons, which gleamed in the sunlight. His wings were gigantic, nearly as large as the dragon himself, and he had two straigh horns poking from the back of his head. He had a short neck, and small curved yellow spines running down his back. His tail was also quite long, longer then his body, and it ended in a scorpion like sting.

The dragon was ruby red with a yellow underbelly. He glittered slightly in the sunlight as he powered up the cliff, taking each flap of his wings as if he had been flying all his life. As he passed over the edge of the cliff he heard gasps of surprise, and fear. His senses had never been so alive.

He stopped in the air and turned towards the group of humans below. He must have been a terrifying sight for them, but the two humans who has chased Caleb off the cliff were now standing there, smiling. They both reached for there hips, and drew out there once invisible swords. 

Pennator snorted at them, this was going to be easy. He opened his mouth and breathed. An infurno rushed out, engolfing the two men in flames. Pennator kept up the fire for almost ten seconds before closing his mouth and letting the fire die away. To his surprise the two men were still standing there, there swords help up in a defensive position. 

Pennator growled at them again, and flew at them, his wings spread wide. They swung there swords at him before he got to close. Pennator flapped his wings once again, staying out of reach of the swords. He opened his mouth and let loose another torrent of flames. The men quickly went back into there defensice postition, and as soon as they did Pennator dived down, grabbing them both by the collors of there shirts. He lifted them high into the air and flew towards the end of the cliff. 

The men saw what he was going to do and started struggling. The bearded on struck Pennator's leg with his sword, cutting deep into it. Pennator growled in pain, and dropped them, right over the cliff. They fell down to the valley below.

Pennator flew down to the edge of the cliff, where he hovered above the ground for a second, then went in for the landing. He landed on the ground, skidded, then toppled over, rolling head over shoulders. He growled again as pain shot through his leg. He skidded to a hault then pushed himself of the ground.

'Nice landing,' said Caleb sarcastically.

'Shut up,' replied Pennator, 'I reckon it was pretty good for my first try.'

Caleb mentally shrugged. Pennator shook himself all over, and looked towards Caleb's family. They were all staring at him with shock. 

'I bet that they think there dreaming,' said Caleb with a laugh, 'I almost do.'

'It would suck if it was a dream,' replied Pennator.

We opened his wing and waved it at the family.

"Hello," he said, "Anyone in there?"

Caleb's little sister gasped and ran behind Rona. She took a step back.

"Don't worry," said Pennator, "Caleb's safe, and I won't hurt you."

Rona nodded slowly.

"My names Pennator," he said with a smile.

At this Rona's eyes widened, "Pennator? You mean the Dragon that was supposibly living in my son's head."

Pennator nodded.

"And that means that... Caleb is in you head right now?" said Rona.

'Your in my head, right?" said Pennator.

'Of course I am, where else could I be!' said Caleb.

Pennator didn't reply.

"Yep," he is," he said to Rona.

Rona blinked, "Can you change back?"

Pennator hesitated for a moment.

'I wonder if we can change back?' he said.

'Try?' replied Caleb.

'How?'

'I don't know, think of me or something.'

Pennatro focused on Caleb. There was a flash of bright light. Pennatro disappeared and Caleb was standing in his place. Caleb stood still for a second, then almost fell over. He quickly caught himself. He looked over to his mum, who had just recovered from the flash. She looked over at Caleb and took a sigh of relief.

"Oh thank goodness your alive," she said running over to him. 

She took him into a big hug.

"Hey mum, it's alright, I'm alright," said Caleb slightly embarrased.

"No, no it's not alright," she said stepping back from him, "What were you thinking! Running over the cliff like that, then turning into this creature, or dragon, or what ever you want to call it."

'That's not fair!' said Pennator.

"Mum, he's not a monster, he's just like a human, in everything except for species," said Caleb, "And he can here you as well."

Rona sighed, "We have to find some way to get it out of you."

"NO!" yelled Caleb at once, "I wouldn't be able to live without him."

This stopped Rona, "Well, what are you going to do then? You can't live like this."

"Yes I can," replied Caleb, "I've been living like this for as long as I can remember. I wouldn't know life without him."

Rona took a deep breath. She seemed to be very upset.

"Hey, it's alright, I won't turn into him if anyone else is around," he said, "Well, I'll probably show Jack."

Caleb smiled as he thought of the look on Jack's face. 

"Well, let's get home," said Caleb, "I'm hungry."

With that the family walked down the hill. His siblings kept a wide burth around him, glancing at him occasionally. Caleb didn't notice this and was deep in thought, or convisation.

'Those people that I dropped off the cliff, they knew about this,' he said, 'They weren't that surprised when I flew over the cliff.'

Caleb nodded, 'I'm more concerned with the fact that they were after us. I was adpoted, so maybe those we came from a different country, like America or something, and those guys were part of the CIA.'

'No,' replied Pennatro instantly, 'They had invisible swords. Swords don't get used anymore.'

Caleb nodded and sighed. He walked along in slience for a bit.

'Hey Pennator, how do you cope being in my mind all the time, doesn't it get boring?' he asked.

'No, not really, unless your doing something boring,' replied Pennator.

'Then how do you cope?' he continued.

'I have acces to all parts of your mind,' replied Pennator, 'I can basically fell whatever you fell and see whatever you see, and if you allow me, even control your body. It's a bit complicated but It's like we are two minds sharing a body, and one of us has dominion over the body that is being used.'

'Wow, I never knew you knew so much,' replied Caleb.

'I'm a dragon, aren't they supposed to be wise,' replied Pennatro with a mental grinned.

Caleb barked a laugh. The other's looked at him with suspicion. Caleb continued to ignore them.

'You know your going to have to let me go flying once in a while,' said Pennator, 'I don't get enough of that feeling. You could even jump off the cliff again.'

'Not a chance, well maybe the flying part, it depends, but there is no way I'm jumping off that cliff again!' said Caleb.

Pennator snorted a laugh, 'To bad, that was fun.'

Caleb just sighed. Pennator had never been so excited in his life. It was probably because it was the first time he had been fully in control of himself. Caleb had felt the freedom he had felt when they shifted, and he felt a bit guilty, keeping Pennator boxed up in his mind for twelve years.

'Don't feel guilty,' said Pennator, reading his thoughts, 'You didn't know about the shifting.'

Caleb nodded mentally, 'But still, even if you did get contact through me, it would be like feeling trapped within your own body.'

'No, it wasn't,' replied Pennator, 'The reason I felt free then was because I flew. I had never flown before and I was itching for a chance to taste the skys. And let me tell you, it was the best feeling I had ever felt.' 

Caleb smiled at that, 'It was pretty fun wasn't it.'

'There, and when your in my mind, you'll be able to feel that feeling as well,' said Pennator.

Caleb nodded, 'Thanks.'

'Don't mention it,' replied Pennator.

They walked along in silence for a bit longer. 

'I can't wait to show Jack,' said Caleb with a smile.

'Oh yeah,' replied Pennator.

With that they made it to the car, and drove home.
