I heard Destiny scream and quickly ran to her. I only prayed that nothing happened to her. “Destiny! What’s wro-“, I stopped as soon as I saw her eyes. “Oh, my…What happened to your eyes?”

“I don’t know! I just woke up like this!” she panicked.

“People don’t just wake up with yellow dragon eyes!”

“Well, they don’t wake up magicless, either, and yet here we are.”

I ran my hand through my hair dumbfounded on how this happened. My sister woke up with yellow eyes, but not just any eyes. Yellow dragon eyes! This was not normal.

“Hold on. The tapestry,” she murmured.

“Tapestry?” I asked.

“Yeah, in my dream I woke up in a hallway and along the walls were tapestries. One of them was a picture of…”

“Who?”

She looked at me with concern. “The Dragon Tamer. You don’t think that…”

I caught on to what she was thinking, “No, no, that’s impossible.”

Destiny and I looked at each other and decided to ask the only person with knowledge on the subject. “Grandma!” We screamed as we ran downstairs.

We found her drinking tea in her chair. She glanced at us, then turned her attention solely to Destiny. To be honest, I was expecting her to ask what was going on and start panicking like we did, but she didn’t. She only smiled and gestured for us to sit on the couch. We did as we were told and sat down.

“Let me guess, you woke up like this?” she asked calmly.

“How’d you know?” asked Destiny.

“I heard you scream,” she said sipping her tea.

I gave Destiny an emotionless look, “You have got to stop screaming.” She ignored me, then I turned to grandma to ask her directly, “Grandma, what do you about the Dragon Tamer?”

“Why do you ask?”

That’s when Destiny told grandma about her dreams. Destiny came clean about her horror nights. She kept calm like she already knew.

“I see. Your dreams are not just dreams, my dear. They’re visions.”

“Visions?” she asked.

“That’s right. The first dream that you had was of the great dragon fire. It was the day countless villages were burned to the ground by the dragons. The second dream was of the battle between humans and dragons. Obviously, you would see skeletons because those humans were burned alive by the dragon’s fire. Leaving nothing, but their bones behind for some. Others were just turned to ash with nothing left behind,” grandma explained.

This was history, but every time Destiny heard it chills went up her spine. I held her hand, reassuring her that I would always be there for her. She seemed to calm down.

Grandma then continued on with her interpretation. “As for your final dream, I believe you were shown the life of the Dragon Tamer. From beginning to end.”

“I knew that part, but why was it shown to me?” my sister asked anxiously.

Grandma took a deep breath and walked over to the couch. She sat next to Destiny and placed her hands in hers. “Destiny, my sweet grandchild, the reason you were shown these dreams. The reason why your eyes are yellow like a dragon’s is that you are the Dragon Tamer.”
