-Prologue-
The early morning sun shone through the stained glass window of the old country house, shedding bright, multi-coloured light across the kitchen table. Sarah anxiously spun her coffee mug around in her hands and gazed at her son, who was sitting on the carpet happily playing with the new toy truck his father had bought him for his birthday.
She glanced over at her husband, Jarrett, who was standing at the sink washing his hands. They were both equally quiet, and the room was full of tension, for they both knew what this day- the day of their son's sixth birthday- meant.
Jarrett shut the water off and sat down at the table across from Sarah.
"Shiin turned six today…" Sarah muttered, stating the obvious. The two remained silent. She looked again at the little boy sitting on the rug. He was a normal child when it came to general characteristics, but he had extra aspects that no normal human would think possible.
On his head,

Extended from his tailbone was a long black tail with an arrowhead shape at the tip. Even his teeth were unusual, with longer, sharper fangs as canine teeth, and he had long claws for fingernails.
He had a Dragon Soul, just as his mother and father and all his relatives and ancestors before him had. Because of this, he was kept away from the world, home schooled and never to go outside unless hidden. But, as custom, at the age of six, every child with a Dragon Spirit was given a pendant that acted as a seal to contain the Spirit, and these Dragon children would be introduced into society for the first time. They would also lose all their memories of ever being a Dragon child, until the next time the seal was broken.
"Shiin," Sarah called, beckoning for him to come to the table. "Come here, Daddy and I have another present for you." Shiin happily jumped up, leaving his truck on the carpet, and bounded excitedly over to his parents.
"What is it? What is it?" he asked, hopping up and down on his toes.
"This," Sarah said,

She held the talisman lower for Shiin to see, and his eyes sparkled with curiosity. The pendant was round and silver with a shiny green gem embedded in the centre. Curled around the gem was a tiny silver dragon,

"Mommy and Daddy have one just like it, see?" Sarah and Jarrett both held up similar chains from around their necks. The gem embedded in Sarah's pendant was blue, and the gem embedded in Jarrett's was brown.
"So I get to keep it all the time?" Shiin asked enthusiastically. "Cool!" Sarah turned and looked sadly at Jarrett, whose usually steely eyes went soft and he laid a comforting hand on her shoulder, giving her a nod of encouragement.
"Please forgive me for this…" Sarah whispered. She put the pendant around Shiin's neck as a tear rolled down her cheek.
As soon as the talisman fell around Shiin's neck, he screamed in agony and sank to the floor. The wings began folding into his back, opening slits that bled freely. The horns on his head also sank into his scalp, and the claws, tail, and fangs began to disappear.
"IT HURTS!" he shrieked, tears cascading down his cheeks. "MOMMY!"
