The Dragon Keeper

Dragons are real… and they exist on the other side of the portal… mostly…Writing Mystic's Tale brought Anthony and me together… and now it's driving us apart. Who knew that accidentally summoning a mystic would change my life… forever. I mean, it's cool that I now have this baby dragon, but what's the point if I can't tell Anthony? He's been my best friend since first grade? Seriously, we've shared everything… as in Every. Single. Thing. Oh, did I mention he's my secret crush?And now I'm sworn to secrecy to protect everyone I love.If that isn't hard enough, Anthony knows I'm hiding something, but it's kind of hard to hide that my ears are growing into elfish points, and my hair is turning purple. Even my eyes look different.But how can I risk putting Anthony's life in danger when this isn't even his fight? I can see the pain in his eyes, but do I keep my word to the mystic? Or do I tell Anthony before it's too late?
