Kate was in her last class of the year. Winterfest weeks away. She looked at the clock and the hour was dragging. She listened to the master mage and drew a dragon on her paper. She closed her eyes and is soaring in the back of a green dragon. The town red roofs rush behind her. The summer sun beams down upon the 500 acre lake and the dragon glides down shimmering the water...<br/><br/>The teacher wakled to Kate's desk and rasped his pointer stick on her deak. She opened her eyes widely and suddenly sits up. The teacher looks menasing at her, "Dreaming of dragons again. Mage Kathryn can you kindly tells what laylines do?"<br/><br/>Kate blinked as she look up at the bald man, "What? Oh, yes. What was the question?"<br/><br/>A mage student wearing black robes stood outside the classroom and rapprf on the door. The treacher waveed his hand and the door opened. The mage student floated an evelope to Kate. The seal had a dual headed dragon. Kate snatched it from the air and broke the seal.<br/><br/>My dear Neice,<br/><br/>A most unfortunate insident has happened and I am forced to send you one of my pets. I expect this is an early Winterfest gift. I have it that you are top of your class. If my pet had survived the journey you will find it in your father's warehouse #356. I think you will be pleased he has been hand selected for you. I wish you a happy Winterfest.<br/><br/>Sincerely,<br/><br/>Aunt Malora<br/><br/>Kate begins gathering her books just as the bell rung, "Forgive me Mater Mage Ellenton. I have an urgent letter from my Aunt. I am sorry for falling asleep. Please do not tell Papa. I promise it won't happen next year."<br/><br/>The man grinned and nodded with a slow smile, "You need to go. Your aunt's reputation..we know. Enjoy and will keep this under wraps."<br/><br/>Kate shot out of the desk and rushed out of the room. "Happy Winterfest and thank you."
