Bio:

I was born on a sidewalk and plopped into foster care, never knowing my real mom or dad, moving from foster home to foster home. Standard orphan stuff. Spent some time in juvie, homeless for a bit, and now…well, it’s complicated.

People tell me I’m sassy and sarcastic and blah, blah, whatever. I don’t pay much attention because I have ADHD and lose interest rather quickly. But yeah, I suppose I’m sarcastic.

What’s important about me is this: I refuse to accept this screwed up world as normal.

Even before I knew the truth about demons and the forces of darkness, I saw monsters.

Foster parents—paid per foster kid—stuffed as many orphans as they could into cramped rooms and closets to fatten their paychecks.

“Faith leaders” filled stadium-sized churches and twisted religion to spread hate—all while raking in donations to buy private jets.

Psychopaths shot children in schools, convicts and pedophiles took the highest political offices in the country, and the wonderful internet spread hate and ignorance for clicks and likes.

All very depressing—and people wonder why I joke.

Anyway.

At least now I know why the world sucks.

Three Great Schools of Magic were supposed to protect the world from evil, but instead, spent all their time fighting each other, because…reasons? This gave an evil, not-at-all cryptic force called the Great Dark a chance to grab mankind in a chokehold.

Now, the world is cut off from the Magical Source. No hope. Only chaos and darkness.

(I swear, I’m not emo, just telling it how it is).

And now, finally, I have a chance to make a difference.

No, I’m not a chosen one. I don’t have a special destiny.

But I have something better: the will to fight back.

Oh, and the Dragon Medal of the Sun. Made of Dragon Metal. That helps too. But it takes work and effort and other words that exhaust me.

What is a "Dragon Metal" Dragon Medal? It takes mettle, meddler (sorry, I’ll stop now).

More on Dragon Metal later. For now, just know this.

Harry Potter and Percy Jackson aren’t coming to the rescue.

So I’m going to do what I can, to fight the Great Dark, and the Three Great Schools. Because someone has to.

Uh…is that a cool enough ending? Let’s pretend I dropped the mic and walked away or something.
