Dragon Of The North (DraftNovel:S1)

Prologue: I

'When life is just unbearable, us humans can only pray for a blessing from above'

In the midst of spring, an unexpected meteor shower took place.
A blissful sight as they glow neon lights and bring trails of color to the atmosphere.
A pity, the crowds couldn't see with their eyes closed or with their consciousness lost.

Midnight is when many go to sleep but these restless people with their eyes wide open are to be blessed with the sight of the beautiful night sky across their window.
Many of them wished upon the "shooting stars" and the rest just watched the glowing trails with their breaths hitched.

"It's hope"

«Seven years passed since the May 2048 meteor shower occured»

It came to a very deep dark night but the three orphans couldn't sleep.

"Hey, it's 3 in the morning. You're moving too much, I can't sleep." Ursa whispered to the two.
Crown couldn't help but get irritated by the whisper of Ursa going on and on. With the same whispered yell, he says "Well I can't sleep either with you complaining. Shut up, stupid bear."

Draco decided to sit up, with all these annoying thoughts in his head. He ran his fingers through his silver hair. "That's it, I'm going outside. Moving around here isn't helping."

The other two looked at him with a puzzled look on their faces until the pink haired girl finally spoke up.
"With glowing silver hair that reflects as much light as the moon does? Uh, no. You stay here and wait for the curfew to en-- Hey!"

Before Ursa can even finish, Draco wore the cloak hidden beneath his bed and dashed out of the window. "Ugh, let's just sleep", she looked beside and Crown was already snoring, sound asleep. Ursa sighed as this is just how her brothers are.

Draco

I haven't gone too far as I can still see the orphanage nearby.
My thoughts ran to different directions and my feet moved with the same pace. Everything will stop once I arrive at my destination, though I don't even know where I'm going.

The city was wide, the buildings were tall. Much taller than the orphanage I've passed by a mall and a few stores now. Bored, I continued walking and recalled numbers in my head.
At the count of three, my trails paused. I stood in front of what looks like an abandoned build of cement. It's three stories high.

The walls were coated with a mural painting, though the sight was still unpleasant. Some parts were chipped off and even written with markers and spray paint. My hand trailed to the wall as I walked around and stopped to a specific writing that caught my eye.

'Earth 2048'

"Probably have been left for around 7 years. You're as old as I am, huh?", I murmured.

Footsteps came closer and I snapped out of my thoughts. Trying to run away, my legs moved as fast as it could but the adult's hand grabbed the hood of my cloak.

Ugh, not only am I caught, my hair is exposed too. Shining as bright as Mr.Clarke's balded head.

"Let go of me!" I squirmed from the woman's hold. She's around 5'4, wearing a grey hoodie and leggings reaching knee length. This woman is a bit sketchy but hey, I'm the one with a hooded cloak here looking like a cult member or something.

Anyway, I tried free my hood off her grip and set myself free but she wouldn't budge. She asks, "Why are you here at 3:30AM?" Stopping, she noticed the brooch at the left side of my cloak and said "Go back to the orphanage. You're gonna be in trouble for not sleeping at all."

I dashed to the orphanage right when she let go of me.

Hours passed by and my eyes still haven't decided to close. My brain was still running restlessly until the curfew bell rang and I decided to pretend like I was sleeping since Nanny Isla is coming to wake us up.

I hid the cloak underneath the mattress and covered myself with the blanket right before Nanny Isla opened the door.

"Wake up, children. Breakfast is ready", she spoke in the same enthusiastic voice as usual.

She lead the children to the dining hall and later called us out, "Ursa, Crown, Draco. I need to speak to you after breakfast so I'll be waiting for you by the door."

The three of us gulped as it seems that were gonna be in trouble.
