I heard its thoughts as it spun and strode away, “I must tell the others!”I watched it and then looked back, “come youngling, we have someplace ...o be.”The human moved in front of me, “you can not threaten a dragon here.”I pushed him aside, “drake, human. You have no wish to meet a real dragon.”When we walked outside it was like I had walked into the distant past and on a world far away. The few trees I saw rose into the sky and spread out to cover the earth. I knew those trees even if it had. Maybe they weren't in Rainier, and yet they had made me mayor of the city. It was exasperating. I didn't understand it one bit. I was about to be sworn in as mayor. I would get my chance to change things without using the app.Why would they put me in this position?I spent hours thinking about it. Racking my brain. It made no damned sense to me at all. Anael claimed he was my opponent. That we were playing a game, but she couldn't tell me what the rules were. The stakes.“The rules are what you. I have placed some clues inside this box. Hopefully, it won't be too complicated for my grandson to find."The recording ended.John opened the mysterious box. Inside was a photo of a river with two trees, slanting side-by-side like an X. He also found a disc inside. The disc was a golden color, but the interior ring was made out of crystal. John was intrigued and he examined it a few more times, then popped it in his computer's DVD drive. When the screen loaded up, a hologram appeared."Hello, my. But I haven't started prescription ones yet," I said."Could you lift up your shirt please?" he asked.I figured he was going to see all of me if I got the job. I lifted my shirt and he examined my chest."I see that you are starting to get some development. Your chest has the look of a preteen girl. Some of the shots I am looking for I need a model that can pass for a teen. There is a big market for that and obviously we can't use real teens," he said, now I have a few more questions concerning.
