Chapter one

-Ruby's perspective-

Hi. My name's Ruby, and I'm in big trouble. I'm just a small red dragon, probably fire, or gem if I'm lucky. Everyone had their own ideas for what I'd become once I was thirteen. What they didn't expect was what they got.

Nothing.

Believe me, I tried. But nothing worked. I breathed my hardest to try and make flames, tried to find some sort of power of inside of me, but nothing worked. They must think I'm useless. They're already looking away, turning their backs. What's wrong with me?

I should have powers. Every dragon had powers. Even being a smoke dragon would be better than this. What's the point in being able to fly, when I can't attack my enemies from the air? What's the point of having claws, when there's nothing to back them up if the enemy takes a step back? Nothing. I'm nothing. A nobody. The worst sort of nobody, I'm useless.

Useless. I might as well leave and become a Wanderer now. If I was far, far away from my family at least my family wouldn't be there to turn their backs on me. I'm no dragon, I'm a lizard with wings.

Normally I would stand up for myself. Normally I'm not afraid to stand up to the dragons of the Village of Water. But this is different. This time I agree with them. I should never have been born.

Goodbye, hope. It was nice while it lasted.
