NOTE: THIS ISNT A BOOK WHERE YOU CLICK AND IT GOES TO THE NEXT SLIDE. THE ONLY SLIDE THERE IS IS THE COVER. THE STORY IS IN THE INSTRUCTIONS -- Many years ago...... Nightseer crept along the floor. He was trying his best to hide. He was hoping his dark, black scales would help him blend in with the cold stone floor. *I can't die today. Not today, not ever. Not on the day where I find my true love and we will marry.* He thought. His queen was so fancy, that she made it so whenever a nightwing turns 15, which is 45 in human years, they get a ceremony where the queen picks another 15 year old, to be their partner. The queen can read minds and see the future, so she checks possible futures, and reads the minds of the dragons, to decide if the dragons will be true love, and if they are a perfect pair. Today was Nightseer's ceremony, and he couldn't let the skywings that were chasing him kill him, or he would miss the ceremony, and never get to meet his true love. He had disappointed the skywings, and now they were after him. He slowly crawled under a bush. He checked his watch, and sighed in relief. He still had an hour before the ceremony. *Why are these skywings chasing me? I was going to the palace to ask a question about the ceremony, then all of the sudden, skywings were here and they were chasing me!* He stayed under the bush, his heart beating out of his chest. After a while, the skywings must have thought he flew off, which would actually be a smart move, since he would blend in with the night sky. He checked his watch again. 30 minutes until the ceremony! Had it really been half an hour since he last checked the time? Either way, he would have to get to the palace as fast as he could so he wouldn't miss his ceremony. He was so far away from the palace, that the only way he would make it is if he ran. When he arrived at the palace, he was relieved to find out he was a little bit early! He still had 10 minutes, and that seemed like a perfect amount of time to get ready. Three dragons walked over to him. "Ah, the dragon of the hour." The one in the front said. "I'm Futurewings. Its a pleasure to meet you." Futurewings gestured the other two dragons into the room to get ready, with Nightseer. "Congratulations on having your ceremony." Said one of them. "Its an experience that you will remember and cherish forever, trust me." He said with a smile. "What's your name?" Nightseer asked while he was being covered in jewelry. It was part of the ceremony. The dragon who's ceremony it was for is always called 'the dragon of the hour' at a ceremony. It was tradition. It was also tradition for the dragon of the hour to be covered in jewelry, and they all were Amethyst, the nightwing crystal of representation. "Blackout." He told him. "I am the queen's favorite servant." Once today's dragon of the hour, Nightseer, was dressed in his necklaces and bracelets and rings and earrings and much, much more, he had to practice his lines. "What type of partner do you want?" Blackout asked. "Well, I want her to be wise and understanding so she can understand what I'm going through. I want her to be supportive so she can help me through it. I want her to be empathetic, so she doesn't see me the way others do, and she sees the good in me." An important fact is only the male 15 year old dragons get their ceremony. If the females got them too, there would be no more females for the males to be paired up with when its time for their ceremony. The females just have to attend the ceremonies for the males and wait for them to be paired up with their true love. "Hm." Blackout said. "I think your ready." 5 minutes after Nightseer was brought to the center of the stage, the queen had already read his mind and scanned the possible futures. At the moment she was trying to make up her mind of who would be the best partner for him. Then, it hit her. "Your partner shall be Dreamwalker." END OF PROLOGUE
