Sixteen years had past since the child was abandoned. With each passing day, the half- dragon grew more and more lonely. He knew that he was half-dragon, and he somehow knew about his curse. He is cursed to take the form of what people around him think about him. For instance, the more people that only see him as a monster, the more dragon like he would become, but the more people that see past his dragonic look and find out who he is on the inside, the more human he'd look. Unfortunately, every person he had met in these woods has though of him as a bloodthirsty beast, and he has been stuck in his dragon form since his father abandoned him sixteen years ago.
He didn't mind being a dragon, because it was kind of cool, but what he didn't like was the loneliness. Sometimes at night, he would stand at the edge of the woods and stare out at the village. He wished the someday he would be a part of it, but it will never happen unless someone sees through him and sees who he really is. He had almost given up hope on that. Though, he didn't know that his life would change for the better soon.
