This is a snippet of the story

They thought I was dead. ?They were wrong. They are always wrong. Wrong about everything. I did not die at the Well. He did. We had been slaves and puns to the humans for so long. It is time to get our world back. For Dragons to rule again. We will rule again, once I regain my true form. I can?t continue to live in this Human. What a weak vessel he is. ?My venom has kept both of us alive for millennia, but time is running out. She is the key. She has to find the parts of me that has been scattered and hidden throughout the land. The bond has to be broken. And with my return will come the return of the Dragons.

Twenty days ago, during the Gani festival, celebrating the death of the Dragon King, my mother, the Queen, was taken. ?As heir to the throne, I am bound by duty to stay and rule. It has always been my mothers desire that I become Queen after her, but that is not my desire. I wish to lead the warriors to battle, not facilitate trade and diplomacy between neighboring kingdoms that populate the Shahara. I have special abilities. I run faster and further, jump higher and further, than anyone in the kingdom. I am stronger, more agile, bruise less and heal faster. My grandmother calls me the child of the prophecy, the one that speaks about killing the Dragon king. But how do you kill someone that died over a millenia ago?

The warriors came back empty from the search. ?What would you have done? Me too! But in hindsight, I would have done it differently. Especially, since I found out that my blood is one of the 5 items required to unbound the Dragon King from his Human vessel. But my mother. How could she? With him?
