It was the day. My CHOOSING DAY. The day that I would finally be allowed by Society to bear the mark of my guardian spirit. For me, it was the Dragon. I'd always been fascinated by fire and by flight, and I knew that with the power of the Dragon imbued into my soul, nothing could stop me. And I was committed, too: I wanted to prove my worth to the Dragon Spirit, and show the world of my devotion. I bore his mark on my face, as opposed to off the cuff of my sleeve, or hidden on my back. I made my choice, even after being told that there would be no going back. 
 
 I gained the soul of a dragon that day. But I lost the ability to ever be taken seriously by a potential employer or academic institution ever again in my life. So now I work for the Portland Sanitation Department.
