Year of the dragon they said, born in the year of the metal dragon, a child from this millennium. Well, whatever, why I don't feel special at all? Now it is 2012 another year of the dragon and still nothing special at all.
However my uncle cherishes all chinese zodiacs and very often he tells me fantastic stories about them and how they all are related to our family. According to him our family tree dates back almost another millennium...
Anyway I like him and his stories, they are the best, whenever I needed some distraction in my very gray childhood days. I find myself often coming by in his shop to help out when there is need at hand. Growing up behind his protecting shoulder made my life a lot easier.
Everyone has somewhere where they really feel they belong to and have their sanctuary. I have it here, besides him. He values my work and his appreciation for my help is his time, when he tells me his marvellous stories about all things from his fantasy and imagination...
Never did it ever cross my mind back there that especially one of his stories will become very real for me one day...
I'm twelve years old this year and well what shall I say I'm not really famous in school not the person you would look up too. More the one person you pass by and you never really knew that one person was there... well I can't complain it has also advantages to go unnoticed, you are able to think a lot, but with this and myself being rather a person, who enjoys reading books a lot it is very likely, that you start to fade farther and farther away from the common croud.
Till one day. I lost all that and I literally disappeared from my home, family and my beloved uncle.
My first step in a seemingly forgotten and ancient world, by entering a hidden timeloop that should be completely impossible to exist, at least, I thought I knew everything about life already. Don't blame me, life is not always what it seems to be and with 12 years yes I was naive and very green behind my ears...
This story I wanted to write since a long time ago. It's going to be a story about an uncommon time traveller, who enters an ancient world from his ancestors and... Well read it yourselves I don't want to spoiler now xD
